It's crazy what you can do now with state of the art AI audio and video generation. If you combine the output with some clever editing it's hard to discern what's real anymore.

Andrew Schulz on Thomas Massie losing: “For a long time I’ve hated when coastal elites shit on southern states and say they’re dumb. And then an election like this comes up and they fucking fall for it and it’s just like congrats man you guys lived up to every single stereotype”

@quant_xbt The market is constantly working towards efficiency.
English
Not a trader: You can’t beat the market. EMH.
1 year as a quant trader: EMH is the dumbest thing academia ever came up with. Markets are obviously inefficient.
3 years as a quant trader: JFC. Every edge is crowded, every signal decays, and the market is basically efficient the moment I try to trade it.

@harjtaggar I don't think google can win because they are not used to actually competing. It's been almost 18 years since they've built a new product that could actually win on its own merits.

Google would be runaway leaders in AI if they were even semi competent building around the model

based on day 1 of looking at this feature i suspect i will never open it again, as has been the case for essentially every google ai product recently. it highlighted 20 TODOs for today, a saturday, including: a bunch of spam-looking emails as "needing response", reminding me to unbox a package at my door, and alerting me of 4 monthly autopay payments (emails iv never opened in the history of my gmail) the only useful action was to wish a friend happy birthday which was buried in the middle

1. Basically every developed economy has cabotage laws. Including China.
2. If you strike the Jones Act then America’s commercial maritime industry dies essentially overnight.
3. Foreign vessels will take their place and the USA will not have a commercial maritime industry.
Dominic Pino@DominicJPino
Look at all the 🇺🇸 trade that's now happening without the Jones Act in effect. And the Jones Act fleet is still fully booked. This is all extra shipping, from Americans to Americans, that's happening just because government got out of the way.

@LRH_Superfan I mean the guy who founded American Apparel had no boundaries when it came to mixing business and pleasure. When we was (justifiably) fired he just started up the same company with a different name.

This shit is genuinely like 80% of the "sleaze" portion of "indie sleaze" in my head so the revival is ultimately incomplete. It's really easy too, bare backgrounds and one big flash plus getting the models to exercise beforehand to get the flushed sex face
Chairman@LRH_Superfan
They don't do ads like these anymore because Terry Richardson, who did all the American Apparel ads got cancelled for being rape-y or something and all the shots do admittedly have a that "post nasty sex" energy that's probably tainted beyond salvage with the allegations

@frmlfr @james_f_thomas I'm waiting to finish extracting our spreadsheet and pdf programs into standalone apps before launching but I will keep you in the loop if you're interested.

@TomCiopp @james_f_thomas I’m a full stack dev so let me know.

I was puzzling over the flawed parallel construction in this AI ad until I realized the ad itself must have been created with AI, which can’t really do jokes. very meta
English
@frmlfr @james_f_thomas This page is going to be retired soon. I'm in the middle of a full redesign. What you're currently seeing is the "ship fast and be embarrassed" version

@TomCiopp @james_f_thomas You’re welcome. Let me know if you want any other optimizations.

@Rational_Psych The Dermatologists have got it pretty good.

"We use barrels per honk foot, because a machine in 1903 used to make a honking sound whenever a drill deviated by more than 1 degree every 52 feet." How do you live like this?

The oil and gas industry uses a clown car unit system. WTF is a Darcy? How is everything not broken all the time?

@frmlfr @james_f_thomas I used the big words intentionally to mock the overconfident and flawed critique of the original author. I understand that my satirical escalation could come off as pompous to an inattentive reader, but my words should be read with contempt for pseudo intellectualism.
English
@TomCiopp @james_f_thomas You sound really smart and use big words. You must be very rich and successful.
English
@breakyrteef @james_f_thomas There is no intended joke in the copy of the ad. This is a value proposition. To interpret anything within as a joke is a failure of the reader.
English
@TomCiopp @james_f_thomas “Slides in 10, not at 10pm” would definitely still fit the constraints of print advertising. The point is that AI doesn’t necessarily understand the way human brains read and process text, so (if it was really used to write this) it fumbled the concept and collapsed the joke
English
@darkmaganeto777 @eathedocument I think you could write a nostalgic song about uptown funk today.
English
@TomCiopp @eathedocument that's like writing a song about Michael Jackson dying in 2021
English
@james_f_thomas My argument is "you don't seem to understand what the point of the ad is and the limitations inherent to print advertising", so you're judging it by the wrong criteria.
English
@TomCiopp I feel like we've drifted pretty far away from the original question of whether "Slides in 10 minutes. Not 10pm" is a syntactically coherent parallel construction
English
@TomCiopp clearly I don't need to, since you already know about it :)
English
@Theolojism @james_f_thomas ...because that's what you'd being doing if I didn't say this
English
@TomCiopp @james_f_thomas It’s not using aposiopesis though is it? There's no unfinished thought, trailing off, or implied continuation
English
@TomCiopp yeah but the whole point of ads is that we're subjected to them against our will because they want us to give them money. they owe *us* consideration, not vice versa
English
@james_f_thomas @mad_muppet It would be immediately understood by the person who works with slide decks all day. The only reason in needs to be explained at length to you, is because you aren't that person.
English
@TomCiopp @mad_muppet you're not making a great case for this ad copy by explaining it at such length and adding parenthetical words for clarity in the quote
