I think a lot of social media owners are like petit tyrants. They've got their own little kingdoms full of people they control and think that, because users like the website, the users must like them. Only then they find the peasants revolting or, most often, just making silly jokes about these self crowned Napoleons of the Net, and these guys just go hog fucking wild on their own citizens. "No more KUNG POW PENIS! We're hunting down anyone with adblockers! Unverified users get pushed to the bottom! If you criticize our blatant transphobia we're gonna cut off your goddamn head! How dare you say that I'm a transphobe! I'm the biggest fucking ally in the goddamn world!"

They're a bunch of socially isolated, self-important, authoritarian assholes, and if you don't worship them, you're a terrible, ungrateful peasant, unlike those good peasants who pay $4 a month for a little blue check mark and worship them like the kings they believe themselves to be.

Jesus Christ on a crutch. On the heels of the backlash against Adobe, you'd think that Big Tech would have learned its lesson but the morally bankrupt dumbfuck techbros in Silicon Valley are evidently /that/ arrogant.

That's some chutzpah there, I'll tell ya.

AI and Echoes of the Enlightenment

Personal Perspective: How today's Cognitive Age is a second Enlightenment

Today, as we enter the Cognitive Age—an era defined by the extraordinary fusion of human intelligence with the advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models—we are witnessing the emergence of what can be compared with a Second Enlightenment. This new epoch is not merely a continuation of past revolutions but a unique renaissance of cognition, where the symbiotic relationship between human and machine intelligence is rewriting the narrative of human potential and capability.

A Cognitive Expanse

The original Enlightenment championed rational thought, bringing forth a wave of intellectual emancipation from traditional dogmas. In the Cognitive Age, AI and LLMs are the new harbingers of rationality, offering insights derived from vast, complex data. This modern form of reason mirrors the Enlightenment's intellectual rigor, but with a computational power that far exceeds human capability alone, forging a path to discoveries once thought impossible. Let's take a closer look.

Oh, look. They're admitting it. The men of the original Enlightenment were all selfish, self-centered perverts, who wanted to do the thinking FOR Society. They supported Slavery, freedom for only themselves, from wealthy backgrounds and households of very low morals...just like the Silicon Valley of today. Enlightenment... Illuminati. Industrialists.

Twitter’s rebrand is proof that Silicon Valley is in a minimalism death spiral and that not a single cryptobro has ever had a creatively appealing thought in their entire life.

I can’t wait to see how badly this new business venture of Watcher’s fails. I hope Steven, Ryan, and Shane’s America centric self obsessed asses lose everything and I hope Steve has to sell his Tesla and bullshit matcha machine and the others have to downsize whatever else bougie shit they have and LEARN how valuable $6 is, not just in the US but everywhere else. This is going to crash and burn and I can’t wait to see the decline.

i'm so tired of the world being run by techbro dickbags who would curbstomp an infant if it would increase their profit margins i think they SHOULD all kill each other i think they SHOULD just do gladiator battles in the colosseum i think they should die but at least make it entertaining

Turns out fast food workers, who generate billions in value, can’t be automated by silicone valley

Has anyone talked about how each member of the Genius Society represents the over reliance on the belief of intelligence but not the act of intelligence?

Paul Rudd is too famous of an actor to play a famous actor named Ben Glenroy

Tim raised his hand. He was sitting together with Steph at the floor next to the Batcomputer, losing tragically at Pogs. “You can have a legally normal legal heir if you want.”

“You are not allowed to delete yourself from the FBI Watchlist,” Bruce said, more than exhausted. Like he had a newborn baby, but the baby won’t stop trying to commit cybercrime.

Tim slowly lowered his hand. After a few seconds he raised his hand again.

“No, Tim. You are not allowed to buy stock in technology companies just to build access into their computers.”

“I’m telling you, Bruce!” Tim protested. “I hacked into their product design records! There’s no way the iMac isn’t going to corner the market next year. Their stock’s at rock bottom, you gotta acquire them!”

“I’m not buying majority stock in a failing computer company just so you can install backdoors into all of their computers, Tim.”

“Jobs just came back to the company a month ago! He’s trying to resurrect it! He’ll sell, Bruce! It’s a good business decision!”

In which Bruce discovers the meaning of right and wrong, and Steph utterly fails to discover the meaning of horse divorces.

This one has one of my favorite scenes in the story, so pumped to show you. And super pumped for the finale next week! Thank you guys for reading with me so far!

The funniest part about what I’ve done to my blog today is that it took me less than five minutes to do using nothing more than my phone and a Unicode copy/paste website. And that, above all else, should tell you just how creatively bankrupt Musk, Twitter, and the rest of Silicon Valley are.
