    Lies, I still listen to dirtbag punk music like FIDLAR, the Mean Jeans, and Lambrini Girls.

    Similarly, math noise rock seems to be alive and well with those weird polka-dotted fellows Angine de Poitrine and electronic noise rock groups like Black Dresses.

    Anamanaguchi was also back with a rock soundtrack for the new Scott Pilgrim games, more good rock tracks that aren’t strictly metal.






  • See, there are three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes. And all the assholes want is to shit all over everything. So pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes! And if they didn’t fuck the assholes, you know what you’d get? You’d get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

    Look if this dick can fuck all those assholes at Blackrock I’m cool with it.







  • That’s definitely a path as well, but considering how smart (at least in math and computer science) you have to be to be developing AI in general. Those are not easy people to replace because of their skill levels and skillsets. Them just leaving and refusing to do the work is honestly a lot better play than trying to get everyone in the company on board for unionization. Only OpenAI is strictly an AI company. Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Twitter all have their fingers in other pies, meaning you would need to get everyone in a massive company on board. Far easier to just get all your colleagues on board and just bail to build your own thing.


  • LMAO a hunger strike in front of companies who literally don’t give a shit if you live or die.

    I think the scariest thing about Artificial Intelligence is the absolute fucking basement-dwelling, fart-sniffing, booger-eating, antisocial narcissists with zero ability to empathize with other human beings developing and “training” it. They spend their lives acting like a victim because they’re “autistic” but I have met plenty of autistic people who aren’t self-aggrandizing, narcissistic assholes, so it’s not because of the autism, it’s because they’re assholes.

    We’re essentially letting AI learn socialization from the people with the least quality socialization skills and interpersonal skills available. That’s the scary part, the idiotic shit it will learn from these narcissistic fucking idiots.


  • Employees need to start figuring out that whining about it doesn’t change shit because you’re in a corporation, not a democracy. The only leverage they have is their numbers. They need to put up or shut up, the only way to stop this is for entire swaths of people to quit their jobs. Further, Google has plenty of people wealthy enough to start their own business, these people have options that a lot of others don’t. If they still care more about their paychecks than they do their ethics, I couldn’t give a fuck about their opinion that they won’t actually stand up to defend.

    At least Timnit Gebru stood on principles (mostly anyway, she at least threatened to quit and they fired her), and the paper Google fired her over is more important today than when it was written in 2020. It was literally a prophetic document for all the issues we face regarding AI today.

    Google pretended it fixed things by doing a lot of fake inclusivity bullshit (not that including people is bullshit, but rather Google’s methods are those weak and pointless corporate ideas of “inclusivity” are bullshit), and brushed the contents of the paper under the rug. The reality is that paper was way too on the nose of real problems for them to allow to be published as it was.

    Anyway, if the employees didn’t figure it out six years ago when they shitcanned Gebru for standing up for herself (and humanity), I doubt they’ll magically figure it out now.
