There was HW’s new war on drugs. He got on TV and told everyone that crack was being sold across the street from the White House. He pulled out a prop bag of crack, as if it were the actual bag police confiscated. Who else does shit like that? That was 89, but it carried into the 90s obviously. You were also still dealing with the AIDS crisis because Reagan did shit to help anyone and instead they made it about morality. The 90s inherited the 80s problems because that’s how history works.

Rodney King, OJ, Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City, Family Matters N-word episode, Fresh Prince episode about racial profiling, Jerry Springer, Rush Limbaugh show (before radio), CNN Crossfire, Menendez Brothers, Assassination of Virsace, Newt Gringrich vs Clinton, Kuwait, Iraq, Bosnia, Serbia

“The world was better in the 90s because I watched Fraiser and Friends”

I hope someone out there is also setting their sights on some positions of authority.

They can’t make money off of selling good coffee, cologne, shoes, etc. Everything has to be cheap because their real commodity is political animus. It doesn’t have the biggest markup, but there is value to capture if you’re big enough. The coffee is actually the value add, not the main attraction. Therefore it has to be dirt cheap. They can’t make money off selling decent coffee.

Someone on reddit had an intriguing take for once. The people who are like “ChatGPT revolutionized my work” are people who are just really bad at stuff. I read that comment the other day. And then now if you go to reddit and look at the AI subs, you get stuff like this:

I know the arguments done to death surrounding AI and being a risk to jobs etc. but I work in a very niche area of law and there’s a lot of complex pieces of case law and legislation that deal with it and, frankly, my memory is terrible with retention of this info. I also struggle sometimes with interpreting judgments, specifically when Judgments are written in very complex “legalese” which I’ve always hated.

It’s a very tempting thesis considering it predicts observation. But I think I would temper it a little bit to avoid ableism or getting too far into technocratic thinking.

You’ll never take me alive you robotic sombitches.

We killed Henry Kissinger.

Given the way LLMs function, the will have a hard time with therapy. Chat GPT’s context window is 128k tokens. As you chat, your prompts/replies add up and start filling the context window. GPT also has to look at its own responses for context. That fills up the window as well. LLMs suck with nearly empty context windows and nearly full context windows. When you’re close to having a full context window, it will start hallucinating and having problems with responses. Eventually it will only be able to focus on parts of your conversations because you’ve blown past the 128k token mark.

The ways to mitigate this problem have to be done by the user and they disrupt therapy.

Niacin rush. He downed 6 sausages in the green room.

Trump 2016 - Make America Great Again, Biden 2020 - Build Back Better, Trump 2020 - BBB - Big Beautiful Bill that will Make America Great Again Again.

They’re just going to keep bouncing this same nationalist sentiment back and forth until someone notices that nothing is happening.

My takeaway: whales need video games

A monument of flesh, coated in ochre and topped with brass wool.

It’s just a new version of “literally me”

It’s adapting a cool persona from a movie, TV, or game character. Ryan Gosling in Drive is literally me, you would watch Drive to aura farm.

Yeoman dream.

A large part of posting is to just read the thread title, or skim the first sentence of a post, and then reply with your thoughts. We kind of kid ourselves that posting is social interaction. It’s mainly isolated reaction.

This is why he wasn’t allowed on the door.

This article is evidence of them looking busy.

How do you figure china is already technofeudalist if you don’t compare/contrast it with other countries?

Its just more organized at doing it due to its authoritarianism

More organized than who? Which country are you referring to if not America?

I think you’ll find that you can’t do analysis in isolation. A country’s character does not exist only in relation to its internal structure, but also in relation to other countries and their structures. Basic dialectics.

I don’t think this plan is well thought out

There is no plan. The idea is to begin planning so that if good things happen, people can take advantage of it quickly.

the Queens grandmothers are not going to be happy when you knock on the door to canvas and they ask you “where are you from” and you say “i just moved here”

That’s why I asked which areas to avoid. You don’t show up to a tight-knit community that’s already organizing and say “I’m here to organize you.” At the same time about half of the people in NYC are not from NY. So someone is moving somewhere and that has to be part of the equation. There are more roles than canvasing.
