After finishing skimming through this thread I’m convinced that fashion people are all crazy. They can literally label the same thing ugly on Tuesday and high fashion on Thursday.

If you simply follow trends and think that everything has to be slim fit, while also wearing business casual, you will wind up with sauceless and possibly even unflattering outfits. Feel more confident about playing around with clothes to find what works for you.

Telling Zohran Mamdani that "we charge you with genocide" is a good way to render the designation meaningless (and signal that you are a fucking moron)
Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside City Hall to call out Mayor Zohran Mamdani for what they see as his betrayal of the movement. "Mayor Mamdani, you can't hide we charge you with genocide" was a chant that just rang out.

Many people are saying …
Unfortunately many of us are incompatible with Western civilization. It's not about assimilation or education, either. That's a fantasy we entertain to feel like good liberals. This person is an unveiled doctor, educated and superficially assimilated into British society, but she cheers on as a poor laborer is put to death for a Facebook comment. People like her have no place in any civilized society.

Hopefully the left wakes up to how these conniving extremists are taking the West for a ride, using the shield of Islamophobia.
It's remarkable that a woman can complain about free speech in Britain while supporting execution for blasphemy in Saudi Arabia. This might be one of those paradox of tolerance situations.

The cult believing the following will not survive the ai revolution, and if you believe this you are part of this cult. “The view among many leftists seems to be that AI is useless, just a bunch of marketing hype, whose only major impact on the world will be destroying jobs, using water excessively, and stealing from artists.”

The reckoning has come for Indian IT. What happens when an economy buoyed by high-earning IT workers sees the sector thin out, with ripple effects spreading through the rest of the economy? asteriskmag.substack.com/p/w…

Right now humanity is fighting AI so that they can continue being Camus’ Sisyphus.

Ai tech bros - come try take our “meaning” out of our cold dead hands …
Brave of Coxon to do a long-form, 25-minute interview with one of the biggest stars in the world and without hedging, without caveats, make the case for the dystopian utopia of universal luxurious jobless purposelessness if AI goes right. But he’s wrong thinking billions of working people and people in poverty will gladly trade a radical loss of meaning—through zero human production of art, music, science or indeed of anything—for improved quality of life (through a high-income UBI). Stewart is right that humans take great meaning from work. He is not arguing that people take great meaning from poverty. We are Homo faber, man the maker. The utopia most want is an end to poverty, inequality and domination, not an end to work and meaning.

People are so fucking stupid. That’s really all I can say. The money you’re desperately trying to preserve, earned through wage slavery, is somehow “empowering.” But give someone a machine that expands what a human can imagine, create, and accomplish, and suddenly you’re reaching for the pitchforks. You don’t actually hate exploitation. You hate change when you can’t control it. The average human is so fucking dumb that, honestly, you deserve the dystopia you keep defending.

Progressives spent their entire political life fighting for social security, safety nets and the idea that humans deserve dignity regardless of their economic potential. Now that technologists are on their way to solve scarcity, Progressives have become puritanical work supremacist prudes who think if you don’t do an economically viable job, you might as well die. Seriously folks?
Most people outside Silicon Valley would find the "post-scarcity" society unbearable. People thrive when their find a sense of purpose in what they do. Doing nothing at home indefinitely is a human nightmare.

Replying to @Benthamsbulldog
I’ve written many peer reviewed papers, given talks, op-eds, shared extensive articles by others, you name it. I’m not here to argue with you but expose you to others. I also know that an uncanny skill your cult has is endless sealioning lol. So bye.

What is wrong with TESCREAL? Communism also strives for a future utopia. Is the status quo so perfect that you are defending? You’re ok with misery, disease, and death?
And there you have it. These are all TESCREAL folks who WANT ASI to realize their fantasies of a posthuman paradise among the stars. They are NOT anti-ASI; what they oppose is ASI that isn't "aligned" with their TESCREAL worldview. @jonstewart @TheDailyShow See below for details:

Since when did humans start associating being the payroll processor at summit paper company as “purpose” when did humans decide to cheapen existence to this extent?
Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon (@hilbertspaess) and Jon Stewart discuss AI, jobs disappearing, universal income, and whether tech CEOs are creating a dystopian future

What’s up with here?
once ASI is here and living somewhere because of "work" becomes pointless, people with money will just move to the nicest places on earth Mediterranean climate, ocean, mountains, good food, beautiful isolated towns places like this are going to become insanely valuable probably worth buying real estate there now

Man carries his own baby. Fox News and the right react as though he has just stormed Normandy. Applause erupts for this astonishing act of bravery, sacrifice, and fatherhood. Medal of Freedom for Vance now please 🎖️
Incredible. Vance arrives in Alaska carrying his newborn baby. He is single-handedly humanizing fatherhood. Kids aren’t burdens, they’re the future.

لعنت ہے ہر ایسے “استاد” پر اور والدین پر جو بچوں پر ہاتھ اٹھاتے ہیں- بچہ پاور میں آپ سے نیچے ہوتا ہے اپنے آپ کو ڈفنڈ نہیں کر سکتا بلکہ آپ کو look up کرتا ہے۔ شرم کا مقام ہے بچوں کو مارنا جو کہ ایک بیمار ذہن کی عکاسی کرتا ہے اور ہر مہذب معاشرے میں جرم ہے-
فزیکل ابیوز کو ”ہتھ چھٹ“ کا نام دینا... ”پاس ہونے کی گارنٹی“ سے ایسے رویے کو جسٹیفائی کرنا... نِک نیمز اور طنز اور طعنوں کے ذریعے مینیپولیشن کو ایجوکیشن کے نام پر گلوریفائی کرنا... یہ شدید قسم کا بُومر بیہیویئر ہے، چاہے آپ کسی بھی دہائی میں پیدا ہوئے ہوں۔
