“A coup? You? Lol get fucked.”

Right, I must be “very young” if I don’t think that hurling abuse at others is OK.

Yeah, pretty much figured you were one of the people who thought his behavior wasn’t only acceptable but preferable. In other words, an asshole.

Are we pretending that his various and ubiquitous abusive rants didn’t happen, or that they weren’t him acting like an asshole?

Damnit somebody should just do a Franz Ferdinand to Putin so we could get this bullshit foreplay over with

Clearly those dead babies didn’t have enough gumption. Should have just pulled themselves out of the womb by their bootstraps and gotten a job

He was never likeable. He acted like a huge asshole, which naturally made other assholes look at him and go “see if he can do that so can I”

“I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your invaluable input, and kindly invite you to redirect your suggestions to a more interested recipient.”

Neither of them is exactly what I’d call easily likeable

I love that it’s something random that started flowering

It’s a fun low-ish budget romp. It’s not art house, but it’s a fun enough take on the 'ole “small and plucky – but mostly doomed – group of people fighting alien menace” trope. The sequels are… not great.

I think the Turing test is flawed; eg. ChatGPT playing the part of a doctor is more likely to be empathetic than a real doctor.

The question isn’t whether computers can act like humans; the question is can we.

You’re still trusting that the 1st party javascript won’t be vulnerable to supply chain attacks, though

Fuck Israel, but that being said what the hell does Israel have to do with anything here?

and internet still works… Mostly

That load-bearing “mostly” is doing a lot of work here.

I invite everybody to find out how everything “mostly” works if you disable “most of” javascript – also have fun deciding which parts to enable because you think they’re trustworthy

Yeah that’s totally understandable. It’s just so scummy that suits know they can fire people for some idiotic whim like the current “AI” craze, and then when it inevitably blows up in their faces they can rehire the folks they just fired and for no extra cost because they know people will be desperate. Small wonder they didn’t cut your pay.

So your compensation effectively didn’t change at all, if you’d have gotten the raise anyhow?

Damn.
