@eigenrobot @UsingLyft Was Horst Wessel a nice guy? Guess it didn’t matter.

@UsingLyft its fairly encouraging that basically everyone is saying "fuck this dude"

I’m not following too much Chud the builder bullshit but I just don’t see where the support is. Asking people to chimp out and attempting to insult them is so unbelievably low class I barely know what to say. And obviously I’m not in support of him getting these modern soft on crime sentences either just cuz black ppl who are nigged up get them. The problem is they shouldn’t be getting them either. All of these people can go to hell

@justalexoki No child starves in a house with food on the table. You must pass through the darkness of the mountain to find the light of the valley.

how do you fix a fussy eater?

@ScottMGreer @DEIconsultant “Whitepirr”

"Whitepill"

@bumbadum14 Many are saying x.com/xactotum/statu…

If the tech guys really wanted to sell people on AI all they have to do is say "we will replace illegal immigrants with robots" They could instantly win by promoting an image of remigration by kicking all the illegal criminal browns out and replacing them with robots.

@powerbottomdad1 @202accepted You need to be courtierpilled and retinuemaxxing

@202accepted get the sentiment or whatever but after living in a big nice house in middle of nowhere id rather just live in a 2 bedroom near friends and family

imagine getting so bored that you kill yourself here

Adcock is sketchy. This gimmick isn’t isn’t one I’d pay for in my warehouse. But poo pooing humanoid robotics off of this is very shortsighted.

@joeybeastmarket @JoshuaHedley Dawg this shit was gay. Maybe it was baby’s first pop punk act but anyone who had this on their ipod was a foid or captain of their college quidditch team

@JoshuaHedley WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT!!!

You can tell when people absolutely weren’t there, cause this band was a joke when they were current lol. Like nickelback levels of hate.

@WomanCorn @rarestbarbie Tangent: Driver monitoring systems can fail to detect attention for white ppl if they catch a full face of sunlight. Basically washes out the IR lmao.

@rarestbarbie Don't Waymos use Lidar? It's not "vision"

i’m east asian, from the entire time from 2017 to 2023, apple face ID would allow my indian friend to unlock my iphone machine vision is absolutely less effective on nonwhite people. anybody nonwhite who has used these things knows this. you do not, because you are white

@G_Freeman77 @powerbottomdad1 @Daeron0x Cool thing is you can both be right. This thing can come out of training. Adcock is sketch.

@powerbottomdad1 @Daeron0x The training set might have been too big to trim in time, they probably had an internal deadline.

ah yes, fully autonomously adjusting its vr headset too i bet. this guy is lying through his fuckin teeth

@kitten_beloved No one who looks like the governor of a breadbasket red state should be within 1000 miles of creative control

I had no idea this is what he looked like Very evil vibes, he's like the Wario to David Lynch's Mario

@Maurizio @ryanjtroy @Gibboanxious It’s this or arrested but that people actually watched 30 rock means something

@ryanjtroy @Gibboanxious 100%, in that category I am talking only about broadcast TV, no cable or premium cable give me an episode of 30 rock over anything else and their ability to close all the stories in their final season is just unmatched across genres... that series finale was a masterpiece

I know everyone thinks his Glengarry Glen Ross scene is Alec Baldwin's finest acting performance, but this must be a close second.

me after 5 mimosas at mother’s day brunch yesterday explaining how I use claude at work to my grandma

You mean like the SAVE Act, or mass deportations, or the gay marriage ban in California, or segregation in Alabama, or the repeal of Fair Housing in California and Ohio, or Colorado's amendment permitting LGBT discrimination, or the denial of benefits to illegals in California, or the Oklahoma sharia ban, or Arizona requiring proof of citizenship to vote, or Arizona requiring official business to be done in English, or Nebraska's ban on corporate farming, or the thirty states that ratified constitutional gay marriage bans before obergefell

Comparative history points the same way. Multi-ethnic societies rarely sustain impersonal, rights-based governance at scale without stabilizers: a confident cultural core enforcing assimilation, clear boundaries limiting zero-sum bloc competition, or strong state capacity suppressing ethnic escalation. Empires managed diversity through hierarchy and segmented autonomy. When those arrangements failed, the usual answer was not liberal individualism, but tighter central control. Singapore managed it through housing quotas, multiracial electoral rules, speech norms, public-order laws, and enforced civic identity. Yew understood that race, religion, language, and communal security do not disappear because the state announces a creed. The data show the same pattern. Putnam’s major U.S. study found higher ethnic diversity correlated with lower trust, lower volunteering, lower civic engagement, and “hunkering down” even within groups. Dincer found that high ethnic polarization reduces trust by nearly 12 percentage points, with polarization being the sharper risk than mere variety. Ziller found immigration-linked diversity associated with declining trust in European regions, especially under economic stress and polarization. Laurence and Bentley showed that rising community diversity worsened attitudes among long-term residents. Wickes and colleagues found weaker cohesion and neighborly exchange in Australian neighborhoods. Koopmans and Veit showed experimentally that making ethnic or religious heterogeneity salient lowers trust in neighbors. Arbatli and colleagues extend the concern beyond trust, linking population diversity to the emergence, recurrence, and severity of internal conflict. Rummel adds the escalation warning: high social pluralism becomes especially dangerous when power is centralized and groups compete for control of the same state. These findings do not prove collapse is inevitable. They show a narrower point: diversity raises coordination costs. It increases the burden on trust, institutions, assimilation, and shared norms. The negative effects sharpen when rapid demographic change coincides with weak assimilation and politicized group identity. That is where post-1965 policy matters. It increased the scale and pace of diversity while also raising the political salience of group identity. Earlier waves entered a regime that expected Americanization. Later waves entered one that increasingly rewarded minority consciousness, bilingual accommodation, racial preferences, ethnic lobbying, and institutional recognition of group claims. Once group identity becomes politically rewarded, salience rises. Multicultural ideology and identity politics amplify the boundaries a creedal republic needs to soften. Public choice then does the rest: organized groups pursue concentrated benefits while diffuse citizens absorb dispersed costs. Then you set up conditions where if you do not show up as a bloc, you do not get a seat. The deeper danger is that destabilization does not usually resolve itself in a more liberal direction. It tends toward Balkanization, permanent patronage politics, or authoritarian management. When groups no longer trust the common rules, the state either fragments into rival communities or centralizes power to suppress them. That is why America’s enemies have long treated racial and ethnic division as a strategic vulnerability. It weakens the creed by making the social conditions for the creed harder to sustain. The practical question is whether those conditions can still be recovered. Weak assimilation may be too slow. Strong assimilation will be called oppressive. Ending group preferences will be framed as an attack. Scaling immigration to assimilation capacity will be called xenophobia. Reasserting the historic core culture will be called domination. That is the dilemma.

@samsja19 @ancerj But why is he talking to aziz ansari about it?

exactly what is happening right now btw

It was a Thielian Buenos Aires Autumn, and the leaves were falling (tech-right and aristocratically-racistly) onto the boulevards, the weather had grown cold and foreboding.

You buy a German anvil. It contains 83 moving parts and requires winding twice a day. It's forged from excellent steel, holds tolerances across all three striking faces to within three microns, includes a beautifully indexed horn-adjustment mechanism nobody asked for, and requires a proprietary 11-point spanner should you need to replace the rebound calibration bushing. It runs flawlessly for years, but one day it starts up in limp mode because the onboard anvil-management system detects that it's overdue for its 50,000-strike inspection. You search AliExpress for a Chinese anvil, and are presented with a multitude of offerings from such household-name brands as DUKXJYIBF, HDBTGMXI, AND UEJQIP. They're all priced to within a few pennies of each other, appear completely identical except for the nameplate, and obviously all came out of the same factory. You text your blacksmith friend to ask if they're legit. He tells you he got one like that from KIXJBU a few years ago, and that it's been great and a terrific deal. You thank him, but KIXJBU seems to have folded so you buy the one from UEJQIP. When it arrives, it feels suspiciously light. You scratch it and realize it's iron-plated aluminum. You buy an American anvil. It's five times the price of the competition, but it comes from a brand that your great-grandfather used to love. It comes boxed with a warranty registration postcard, twenty pages of safety instructions, assay certificate, and a regulatory slip which lists its FCC certification and ITAR registration. It looks just like your friend's KIXJBU. There's a "Made In China" sticker on the bottom. You buy a Russian anvil. It arrives coated in cosmoline, wrapped in newspaper from 1974, and weighing 40% more than advertised. The finish looks like it was machined with a shovel. The face is not flat, but somehow this does not matter. You drop it off a truck, accidentally leave it outside for six winters, and use it to straighten a bulldozer blade. It's fine. You buy a Swedish anvil. It comes flat-packed in a long cardboard box with cheerful Neo-Grotesk lettering and a line drawing of a smiling man assembling it with an Allen key. The instructions contain no words, only pictograms showing the anvil face, horn, waist, feet, and 112 identical-looking fasteners. Halfway through assembly, you discover that the pritchel hole was installed upside down, but only because you used peg B17 where you should have used peg B71. Once assembled, it is clean, stable, and works better than it has any right to. You immediately wonder whether you should have bought two. You buy a Japanese anvil. It arrives wrapped in rice paper inside a paulownia box, accompanied by a certificate bearing three generations of signatures and a photograph of the first production example being presented to the Emperor. The face has been hand-polished by a seventy-eight-year-old master whose family has made striking surfaces since the Muromachi period. You are given detailed instructions for oiling it with a cloth folded in a specific way. It is the most beautiful object you own. You never quite work up the nerve to strike it.

@SlumRNA_Dog Serving it like the velociraptor in jurassic park

This is the liberal godhead

@jawwwn_ The alpha was in realizing as dogshit as this is it’s 5-10x better than any other software USG procures

@jawwwn_ When the who world said “software is eating the world”, we built software. When the whole world said “if every deployment is a custom job then your engineers are consultants”, we called them FDEs.

Alex Karp says the reason Palantir is so unique is because of their willingness to be "non-mimetic": "When the whole world said software had to be worthless—we built platforms that worked." "When the whole world said you couldn't extend it with FDEs—we built FDEs." "When the whole world is saying build AI slop without an ontology that allows you to put truths into the ontology and produce actual results—we stuck to our guns." "And what did we get? We got these results."
