Father, writer, scientist, teller of dad jokes. The guy that wrote that book you read that time, and plays that game you like.

@UFO_Skeptic_Hub @drdwhitehouse I love this new attitude of "well you can't prove me wrong so I must be right"
When the person making the claim supplied absolutely fuck all for evidence.
English
They wouldn't be pushing back this hard if THEY had the actual evidence that is on their shoulders to provide. Trying to push the burden of proof onto someone else who has nothing to prove is the oldest and most worn out trick in the book. Aren't they bored with that worn out narrative yet? 🥱🥱
English
No you don’t. The default position is we are alone unless proven otherwise. That isn’t a claim that’s equivalent to us being visited. Scientists don’t have to provide anything. It’s up to you to change the status quo.
Disclosure Party@disclosureorg
Some skeptics make claims like "this isn't real" without giving any evidence. If you say something isn't real, that's still a claim, so you have to prove it just like anyone else. For example, dismissing allegations that the U.S. government has recovered UFOs requires evidence. You're asserting that a large group of current and former intelligence officials, many with decades of service and security clearances, are either lying, mistaken, or suffering from some sort of shared delusion. You're also asserting that sworn testimony, whistleblower complaints, and years of Congressional interest is all nonsense, and that none of it points to anything worth taking seriously. "This can't possibly be true!" is not evidence.
English
@UFO_Skeptic_Hub Sadly I don't know that it can be fixed because of the grifters that are always going to try to grab a spotlight and make claims with no basis in reality.

@ChelmsDeep You know what you did, in the simulation....has....wait...hold on.

My daughter put my wife and I into her tomodachi life game.
Apparently I rejected my wife… and now I am in trouble with my real wife.

No peeking at the comments, no running to Google, just your best guess...
True or False?
The lab equipment used in "Young Frankenstein" (1974) was actually the original gear from the 1931 "Frankenstein" movie.

Inflation is completely out of control, you can’t even take 3 kids to a Detroit Tigers game anymore without spending an arm and a leg! Crazy!

Why can’t we have delicious local restaurants inside suburban communities?

YouTube is owned by Google. As the shift from searches on their platform goes to various LLMs they are going to want to keep their bottom line growing.
In short...they are following the money.
Strange History Cafe@XStrangeHistory
YouTube no longer seems interested in indie creators. They’re pivoting to become a distribution platform for big productions, networks, and established media companies. Their business model is shifting. They’re making it harder for smaller creators to earn money, and it feels like they’d prefer us gone entirely. That way, they could keep 100% of the ad revenue without sharing it with anyone. What makes it worse is the lack of real competition. Rumble isn’t a viable alternative for most—it’s largely known for political livestreams, and mainstream audiences rarely go there. I wish that weren’t the case, but it is. I’ve been uploading original videos and podcasts here on X, even though they mostly get ignored for now. But that won’t last forever. X has the potential to become the go-to platform for videos and podcasts, and I’m really hoping it does. YouTube doesn’t want us anymore. They got what they could out of us. We made them lots of money at no cost to them at all. Our value to them has come to an end.

@BigGeckoOnly I can't have one with a hammer either, but I find them very useful.
English
@TimothyImholt I can't have a meaningful conversation about my day with an LLM.
English
I'm not going to argue if LLMs or artificial intelligence is "real" intelligence.
I will say that in many ways they are very useful tools that make me faster at a lot of tasks.
English
None of you asked, but I'm telling you anyway.
I am currently reading The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

@texasrunnerDFW @allie__voss I don't get gender reveal parties. I mean to each their own. But some of these are getting massively expensive, and I know not everyone doing the really pricy ones can really afford it.
Whatever happened to "hooray, it's a girl!"

This is EVERYTHING thanks to social media
I deleted Instagram several years ago.When my kids were babies and toddlers it was overwhelming to see designer gender reveal parties and first birthdays, $150 custom cakes, over the top nursery decor, etc. I was just grateful to have healthy kids and a clean enough house

Dorm rooms are honestly getting out of control thanks to social media
It’s a room you should ideally be spending almost zero time in except to sleep, it doesn’t need to be HGTV

Because their primary skill is fundraising. You have to be ready to sell your soul in ways to get the cash needed to win the election.
That and gerrymandering.

Long ago I took my kids to a circus.
My younger son did NOT want to get close to the clowns and when he did he kept a very close eye on them.

Lots of lost money. No profit dollars in how long?
You can do these things and still have a failing business.

Owning the data is fine until the algorithm catches up with what it needs....then....your model is D.O.A.
George Pu@TheGeorgePu
Uber abandoned self-driving in 2020. Got mocked for it. Travis Kalanick still calls it the worst mistake he made. Five years later. Uber is now the data layer. 25 self-driving companies pay to use it. Waymo. Wayve. 23 others. The CTO said the quiet part out loud: 'The bottleneck is data.' 'They don't have the capital to deploy the cars and go collect all this information.' Uber has the cars. Uber has the cities. Uber has the trips. Tesla bet on the cars. Waymo bet on the algorithm. Uber bet on the marketplace. The marketplace owns the data. The data owns the next decade. Sometimes losing the race means winning the next one.
