yt short

may shorts forever die writhing (along with the people that made it happen)

such a fucking abysmal format, coming along only because ~~twitter~~ ~~periscope~~ ~~facebook-lying-to-everyone~~ ~~quibi~~ "tiktok" popularity made every bigtech shitlord feel product fomo and decide they had to do it ritenao just in case they miss the next big thing, despite afterward still sitting on the exact same extractivist bullshit as their source of money as before

probably but it isn't one I've come across (in this form), thus my surprise

"wikipediocracy"? fucking seriously?

for all the good and bad bits that wikipedia has (and there are notably many of the latter too), a rulership is definitely not among that list afaik. wtf.

(e: I'm going purely off the domain name there, but holy shit what a name)

5 posts and not a single sneer among them. dry out there today.

ah but see, if you move these here goalposts of quality, suddenly there's a whole lot more "room for improvement" and thus a longer commercial horizon! and best of all is it doesn't even reuse the same old stuff - innovation! out with the old! yay to crushing tech debt!

our management is very smart.

not quite entirely what I had in mind, but it will be interesting to see what happens with that down the way as well

I didn't previously know I needed this in my life but "mentioned in the stubsack" needs to become a household phrase

because I build things (which entails signing up for a service that someone else built)

fucking THIS

I am so immensely fucking tired of seeing "I built an AI to do $x" posts that all fucking reduce to 1) "I strapped a custom input to the openai api (whose inputs and execution I can't control nor reproduce reliably. I am very smart.)", 2) a bad low-scope shitty-amounts-of-training hyperspecific toy model that solves only their exact 5 requirements (and basically nothing else, so if you even squint at it it'll fall apart)

basilisk save us from the moronicity

it feels like the obscurantism is a stolen magician's trick? keep people too misdirected with all the weird shit and they might not notice the other parts that a lot of people might find themselves objecting to (if it were clearly laid out at first)

the person behind it appears to be a "Jeffrey D Hillman", and this appears to be the first round: https://grantome.com/grant/NIH/R01-DE004529-10

probably worth someone digging into that to see what else may surround the person

from the "Safety Review and FAQ" document:

Will this spread to everyone I kiss? It’s very unlikely in non-immunocompromised adults. However, if you’re concerned, you should avoid kissing anyone taking oral antibiotics, or children.

"sure let's just casually become a walking science experiment and then thinking to first ask whether the other person is taking oral antibiotics. oh and children, because mouth-kissing children is perfectly normal to me, the author of this document"

this was from just like 2min of glancing at this mess so far and fucking what

However, I will only award full credit for a refutation of the idea that competitive violence is innate to men

roller derby (as popular in the last decade and a bit) is the first (albeit not only[0]) thing that comes to mind

[0] - over here in ZA, women's rugby teams (and in other sports) are plentiful, and they do not fuck around

Hmm branding opportunity, “unwanted altruism”
