Stuff Is All You Need
Added 2025-01-17 21:53:15 +0000 UTCThe UK Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan / Please, Please Invest In Us So It Can Be 1999 Again Plan has been launched, and it will give the UK the superpower to know ahead of time where potholes will emerge, before not filling them anyway. Also, Australians total their cars, we invent a new legal concept called “Magician’s Privilege,” and the world historical cruelty and ineptitude of the Biden administration is laid bare as a ceasefire deal finally emerges in Gaza.

I could listen to the TF Hooning Report for hours. It's the perfect podcast.

2025-01-22 14:25:13 +0000 UTCI wonder if the Mexican Hoon Cartel stuff is copying from the US street racing scene. Over here, a lot of people posting illegal street racing videos, especially in places like LA or Houston, will title it as "sick insane 150 mph on the highway (in Mexico)" so that when the cops find the video, they can claim it totally happened in a different jurisdiction outside of local enforcement's ability to police.

2025-01-21 19:21:46 +0000 UTCyou know what is kinda funny? as an academic applying for funding from this very government i need to answer every single question these clowns fail to answer (like you know: how? why?)

2025-01-21 13:04:42 +0000 UTCthe only, and really the only, silver lining of the AI bs taking over absolutely everything is that listening to Trashfuture is now explicitly something I do during ‘work hours’ because I can’t be thinking about this shit in my actual free time.

2025-01-21 12:13:56 +0000 UTCi'm always saying we need more social hooning programs. hooning for profit shouldn't be ok, but hooning for personal use could be considered self-medication. decriminalize hooning for personal use (limited to one set of extra tyres). not on the backstreets where its an unregulated grey market, but on the mainstreet, where it can be done in a safe manner #hoonforhealth

2025-01-20 17:03:30 +0000 UTCOne thing to clarify about the Gaza Ceasefire's effect on the US electrinos: of the 2020 Biden voters who stayed home in 2024, somewhere from 1/3 to 1/2 indicated they Would have voted for Harris if she had committed to a ceasefire deal, and it was the #1 issue for a lot of those stay-at-home voters. so I think Gaza had a larger impact on the US election than anyone important is willing to admit atm.

2025-01-18 08:32:13 +0000 UTCSir Kir’s AI wet dream reminds me of the underwear gnomes from South Park: Step one: Steal everyone’s underwear. Step two: Step three: Make a lot of money. “But what about step two?” “Never mind about step two.” I live in Silicon Valley and I’ve watched the invention of the Internet, the personal computer, the smart phone. Now these idiots are pouring billions of dollars into a technology that’s bad for the environment, has no path to profitability, and has already hit a wall. Just like the UK government they can’t admit they are full of shit because “the market” won’t like it. Well the market is going to be pretty angry when these guys are left holding their dicks in the middle of a fast-moving river. As the water is rising up to their chins they’ll still be shouting “AI is the future.”

2025-01-17 23:02:29 +0000 UTC'sure our Economy Casino has built up a reputation for having far worse odds than other casinos, all the whales are leaving, and the building is falling apart, but don't worry, we have a plan to save it! we give one lucky man ten billion pounds, and claim that they won it legitimately. then the whales will come back to us seeking such returns, we'll be raking in the cash, and we can begin the repairs, pronto! no of course we couldn't stop doing casino stuff and operate a more reputable, less risk-based business, that would be communism.'
marilyn
2025-01-17 23:02:15 +0000 UTCit's honestly pathetic watching the government hunched over the Grovelling lever, getting increasingly frustrated as their attempts to do Derek Mackay to Sam Altman ('hey 🤚 investment 2nite king?') fail harder and harder. just totally incapable of understanding that the whole thing about globalised capitalism is that it gives international oligarchs all the cards and everyone else none, so it doesn't matter how many seductive messages you send them if they've decided collectively that you have Bad Vibes
