Intolerant Swine

@AlexEpstein Shut the fuck up, shill.

Why is "Big Tech" being demonized for the energy demands of AI, when it is we Americans who are doing the demanding? And that demand is good! AI will give us all access to a level of advice, education, and assistance once enjoyed by only the very wealthy. alexepstein.substack.com/p/why-i-think-…

@AlexFinn Oh fuck off. AI is fancy auto-complete wrapped in twenty six layers of bullshit. It has applications, but most of the so-called thought leaders in this space are imbeciles suffering AI psychosis. These idiots are trying to sell the kids a bill of goods and the kids know it.

Scariest video I've watched this week America's next generation actively booing the most transformative technology our species has ever seen In China grandmas line up to get OpenClaw installed In America, supposedly our most educated people BOO even the mention of AI The west simply does not stand a chance if this continues We have a massive AI marketing problem in this country and nobody is doing anything to fix it Tomorrow Meta will announce 8,000 layoffs. They will blame it completely on AI They won't blame it on their irresponsible hiring in 2021 or extended elevated rates or horrible market conditions or bad inflation No, in order to not tank their stock, they'll blame it on AI College students will read that and learn to HATE the technology They'll protest outside datacenters holding ridiculous signs that say "SAVE OUR WATER NO MORE DATACENTERS" Politicians will see this and run on blocking data centers just to get a few votes All of it will be a cycle that leads to America losing to China This should be a warning sign to all frontier labs and CEOs: messaging matters. And if your messaging doesn't change the West is cooked

@senatorshoshana Shut the fuck up you corrupt dipshit. Nobody wants to build a data center in a place without infrastructure. They want to build it in places with lax regulations, easily bribed officials and electricity which can be stolen from the local community.

No AI data center is worth losing this. And guess what? There's no choice between them! We get to have both! Data centers in no way infringe on this nature.

@Fightincowboy Why the fuck do you care, shit-for-brains? Why are you so seriously invested in IGN, that you defend them at every turn? They're a joke and people have every reason to troll them. What the fuck is it to you?

Genuine question, did IGN fuck your mother over the kitchen table on Christmas morning or something because this level of obsession is ridiculous. Y'all bitch up and down about how irrelevant and bad IGN is and then every review y'all become professional dick riders.

@Gabby_Hoffman You're an imbecile. Data center buildouts are focused exclusively on AI by rapacious corporations who are desperate to believe there's a pot of gold at the end of the AI rainbow. I could hold a trillion of your idiotic messages on my home storage. Educate yourself.

Data centers aren’t simply for AI. Every text, email, movie streamed, and social media post is you - the individual - interacting with data centers. Our digital interactions have to be stored somewhere. They’re housed in data centers, AI-powered or not. Unless you become a Luddite and rid of all tech from your life, you are dependent on data centers…

@AlexanderPayton Literally none of this is true.

@robbysoave Christ, another idiot who has no idea what he's talking about, opining on a topic he doesn't understand in a desperate attempt to be part of the conversation.

We need to have data centers. I don't know what else to tell you. We should have them without eminent domain or tax breaks or other forms of corporate welfare. But we are going to have them.

@molantpk_ No test of skill, not a game.

Estou muito decepcionado com Mixtape Juraram pra mim que não tinha gameplay, e nem precisava apertar botões para "joga-lo", mas descobri que isso era uma mentira Tem que controlar a personagem por um cenário e explorar livremente! Eu só queria um filme interativo e não um jogo!

@garrytan Horseshit. Data Centers drain local power grid resources and impoverish the communities. They do not create a single iota of prosperity for anyone other than the rapacious corporations which own them.

Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300+ local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies. The people who say they want American jobs are trying to block the biggest job creation engine since the interstate highway system.

@TatooineSons No, it's one of the dumbest fucking ideas in Star Wars history. Because there's no reason tiny automated ships couldn't be doing the same thing to destroy larger ships or planets. It's typical Rian Johnson shit writing.

The Holdo Maneuver is visually stunning. The Holdo Maneuver is emotionally devastating. The Holdo Maneuver is a perfect act of sacrifice. But... "Why hasn't anyone done this before?" Because you have to ram your ship — at lightspeed — into the enemy fleet. Which means everyone on your ship dies. Including yourself. So, you have to evacuate the ship first. Or you're killing everyone you're trying to save. It's not a tactic. It's a goodbye.

Mixtape: Vibe-coded millennial cringe.

@RedWavePress The problem is that US refining is setup for the heavy sour crude from the Middle East, Canada and Mexico. US shale produces light sweet crude. The second problem is that the US lacks the infrastructure to get the oil where it's needed.

Joe Rogan: “I talked to Tim Dillon today… He told me that gas is $7.90 a gallon in LA right now.” Brendan Schaub: “And that's down from what it was. I was out there a month shooting a commercial and it was up to $8.40 something.” Joe Rogan: “Here's what I don't understand. Are we getting oil from Iran?... So are they just f*cking us in the a$$?” “Or is it global prices went up because some of the gas can’t get to where it needs to go, and so they need to make that money so they just f*ck you. Isn’t it funny? They’re like, we’re going to make money no matter what. The American people are going to lose money so we make the same amount of money. F*ck you, you need oil.” “[Oil executives are] a bunch of crooks. We should have a national oil company and only sell in America. Keep it in house so no matter what foul sh*t we do outside the in the world [prices don’t go up].” “Even though U.S. is the largest oil producer, companies can sell oil on the global market to whoever pays the highest price. High world prices still translate into high domestic gas prices.” “Hey, Mr. President, please fix that.”

@Beno10_MFC This is a stupid non-puzzle. I can do it by moving one stick. 992. Idiot.

High level of creativity is needed here. Boost your creativity Can you make a number larger than 902 by moving only 2 sticks?

@RobHeinze @layxsnv Dude, E is just fucked in the head. That's totally wrong.

As a choice of style for my writing, I use E. But grammar checker tells me it’s B. When you’re writing creatively, if you’re skilled, you can break rules and make them part of your style. When Stephen King was a good writer, he had some rule-breaking tricks like thoughts expressed in parentheses with no punctuation

Okay, where are the English scholars, which one?

@layxsnv C. Death to the Oxford Comma!

@SmashJT It's a smouldering corpse and we're just taking bets on how long it takes for the smoke to clear.

Bungie's Marathon is doing so bad that not even the haters are posting about these numbers anymore lmfao

Watching Marathon continue to crash and burn is a joy. Bungie deserves this.

@JakeSucky Reminder, just because you like a game doesn't mean it's a good game. And Mixtape isn't even a game.

"Reminder: just because you're not personally into a game, doesn't mean it's a bad game" XBOX responds amid Mixtape feedback

@robsoniecker Oh look, someone vibe-coded millennial cringe into a video game and it caused a bunch of game journalists with Daddy issues to lose their minds. Christ, the pending millennial therapy explosion is going to be beautiful to watch.

Mixtape é um exemplo perfeito do momento de profunda ignorância que estamos vivendo na sociedade. Todas as críticas que vi sobre o jogo simplesmente não se aplicam a ele. Mixtape nunca tentou ser um Life Is Strange, nem se propôs a imitar qualquer outro título. Ele é apenas Mixtape, um jogo artístico, lindo, com uma boa história e músicas excelentes. O valor de Mixtape está justamente na identidade própria: atmosfera, direção artística, trilha sonora e narrativa. Nem todo jogo precisa ser um sistema complexo de escolhas, RPG profundo ou experiência revolucionária em mecânicas. Ele existe à sua própria maneira e nunca prometeu ser algo mais complexo do que é. Talvez o problema não esteja no jogo, e sim nas pessoas, que estão presas em um abismo de ignorância tão grande que acabam enxergando defeitos onde não existem.

@_Sikamikanico_ It's not a game. It's a walking simulator.

Yikes at the "Mixtape isn't a game" discourse 🥱 I didn't give it a 10 because it's the best open world game, or FPS game, or RPG. It got a 10 because I felt it absolutely nailed, in every regard, what it was trying to do and became a shining example of THAT GENRE Of GAME.
