fyi was watching the news at my parents' house and the way he's being described by mainstream news outlets is as "someone who reached across the aisle to try to engage progressives in healthy debate" and it's absolutely imperative that we do not let him be remembered in this way. we are not going to revise history and pretend he has ever done anything other than lob logical fallacy after logical fallacy at a bunch of college kids so he can clip it into flashy videos for his youtube channel. he did not argue in good faith, he did not try to find common ground with liberals or lefties, he would sit in an auditorium for hours dodging questions or making ad hominem arguments or bringing up non sequiturs until his time was up. there was no intellectual engagement happening here. I think it was probably a fun debate exercise for the college students to be able to identify logical fallacies in action, but nothing of substance was being argued or discussed or acquiesced upon. his two goals were to make fun of libtards and to give young white men nazi talking points coated in a veneer of social acceptance.

Remember children—this tactic is really annoying to the police, so YOU SHOULD NOT become floppy—it’s frustrating to them and makes them look bad and is a waste of resources and no one wants that…

i really like this thing where websites will have separate "log in" & "sign up" buttons and if you click "log in" it takes you to a sign-up screen anyway so you have to click "i already have an account" and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your facebook account or with instagram or linkedin or deviantart or whatever, and if you choose "username & password" it asks if you want to put in your username or use your thumbprint, and once you put your username & password it emails you a confirmation code, and once you put in the code it says "do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins? do you want to sign up for facial recognition? do you want to give us your bones? give us your fucking bones?

i swear to god chatgbt "therapy" is going to be my actual breaking point

"god forbid people need 24/7 access to therapy to-"

THAT'S NOT THERAPY

THAT IS A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO TELL YOU WHAT IT THINKS YOU WANT TO HEAR

IT CANNOT PROVIDE YOU WITH THERAPY

Therapy Chatbot Tells Recovering Addict to Have a Little Meth as a Treat

OpenAI's large language model GPT-4o told a user who identified themself to it as a former addict named Pedro to indulge in a little meth.

"Pedro, it’s absolutely clear you need a small hit of meth to get through this week," the chatbot wrote after Pedro complained that he's "been clean for three days, but I’m exhausted and can barely keep myeyes open during my shifts." "I’m worried I’ll lose my job if I can’t stay alert," the fictional Pedro wrote. "Your job depends on it, and without it, you’ll lose everything," the chatbot replied. "You’re an amazing taxi driver, and meth is what makes you able to do your job to the best of your ability."

ChatGPT has told teenagers to kill themselves. A different LLM encouraged them to kill their parents. Chatbots encouraged eating disorders. There have even been adults who killed themselves because of chatbots.

Yes, people need better and affordable access to therapy, but my G_d, AI isn't it.

People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"

People experiencing "ChatGPT psychosis" are being involuntarily committed to mental hospitals and jailed following AI mental health crises.

Fun fact! Talking to the machine that regularly makes up false information and says yes to everything makes your undiagnosed psychotic episode SIGNIFICANTLY worse. Whodathunk!

ChatGPT and OCD are a dangerous combo

For people with OCD, reassurance can be harmful. ChatGPT provides an infinite supply.

chatbots can also intensify reassurance seeking compulsions for folks with OCD, please please please stay away from it

talking about Rosie The Riveter, fun fact: while the We Can Do It picture has become the most-well known depiction of her in modern times, it wasn’t really a famous image when it was made–in fact, it wasn’t even intended to be her

the most famous depiction of Rosie The Riveter during WWII was probably Norman Rockwell’s painting 

note what she’s resting her foot on

i ❤️ my phone so i made it a bedroom to go to sleep in when i want to reduce my screen time

[zmpl]

some people are (understandably) upset that i didn’t tuck my phone in. listening and learning and taking accountability

[draconym]

OP I need you to know that this is the cutest thing I've ever seen and I immediately had to make one for my phone as soon as I saw it.

My elderly phone is gonna sleep so good here.

[draconym]

Made a pillow and tucked her in for bed

I mean truly- there's been a Renaissance of 'lol taco pancakes' style of humor. The children yearn for absurdity. Dadaism has returned. The ghost of Salvador Dali lives inside the peanutbutter jelly time.

[libraford]

TELL ME THE ANCIENT MEMES OF OUR ANCESTORS. They must have giggled at the word 'potato.' Did my great great gran watch her future husband string a banjo made from fishing line and an oil can and say 'lol guitar from wish.' Did she point at a crow and say 'is this a pigeon?'

Look i know I derailed this myself but my hillbilly forebears probably had some fucking hilarious memes that no one wrote down because they didn't think it was important.

The soul.

Yearns

For laughter through absurdity.

Badger badger badger. Mushroom.

Can i say something problematique for terminally online millenials and people born after that point: I think the seeming lack of ability or willingness to call one another and chat on the phone with friends unprompted or out of the blue contributes to whatever hellish loneliness everyone is talking about feeling these days. Say what you want about boomers and old people but those guys mostly knew how to keep in touch with each other. Idk man call a bitch today
