  • That's honestly beside the point. This case wasn't about his "grift" it was about harassment of the Sandy Hook families, who have not seen a penny from Jones yet, despite winning the case two years ago. The judge tried to come up with convoluted logic to make sure Jones retains control of IW despite, again, losing the case the judge presided over. It's insanity.

  • Rumble, where he's still using the InfoWars branding:

  • It's absolutely crazy the gymnastics the judicial system is making to keep Jones on the air and prevent the families of the Sandy Hook victims from seeing restitution.

    This shutdown was Jones's decision not the courts or The Onion:

    A judge granted Jones’ request to block the sale, arguing that another offer by a company that happened to operate Jones’ online supplements store had been higher. But in April, there seemed to be a workaround — Jones’ estate had run out of money and instead of buying it in an auction, The Onion could just pay rent in a licensing deal. On Wednesday, a Texas appeals court stopped the transfer again, temporarily blocking the asset handover.

    And so it seems Jones, unable to pay the rent, left on his own accord.

  • Same! My introduction was that I ordered the "burger" at a gastropub that was a vegan restaurant (unbeknownst to me). It was delicious so I asked the bartender for another and he goes "another veggie burger?" and I said "No I had the meat burger" and he replied "we don't have a meat burger here". My mind was blown! And now I don't buy beef anymore lol

  • "Beyond" products taste good, and they're meat-like but don't really taste like anything that currently exists, whereas everything I've tried from Impossible is pretty much indistinguishable from meat, it's actually kind of wild.

    I'm not even vegetarian (one day) but I was able to cut out red meat entirely thanks to these brands.

  • Yes this exactly haha it's crazy.

  • Mine is running Debian and to my memory has never crashed or required me to restore a backup once in several years.

  • If it wasn't for the thumbstick layout and the price I would get this day one, but I'll probably wait for a sale or until I find one used. A pretty cool piece of hardware regardless.

  • Why do you care how an instance that you don't even use is operated? Block and move on if you hate it so much.

  • I definitely don't judge, when I discovered the "rationalist" community I was super interested at first too. But the biases show themselves over time, and in such an obvious way.

    PragerU is another one I'm embarrassed to say I was subscribed to for about a month. It's mostly news-based now but it used to present moreso as "Educational YouTube", which, sure, great, I added it to my collection...until I watched a couple episodes.

    As we all predicted: The fearmongering surrounding Anthropic Mythos was just marketing after all.

  • This was an interesting article! While there is an argument to be made for an "AGI Manhattan project" I'm not convinced that companies like OpenAI or xAI will be of much value to a project like that at all. It would be like if the US government took over Joey's Really Big Stacks of Dynamite Emporium in the 1940's.

  • No means no leave OP alone jfc

  • They also fit in great with Material Design 3 which is distinguishing itself from iOS very well.

    I'm actively trying to DeGoogle but I won't pretend this isn't good design.

  • What I find fascinating about the "Rationalist Community" is how they expect to attract new people when what they are selling is basically the opposite of what they are providing. Anyone interested in actual rationalism would pretty quickly realize the "Rationalist Community" is not that.

  • YES well said. I was also fascinated by Qanon for similar reasons. I just can't wrap my head around that way of seeing the world.

  • The "rationalist" community is so fascinating to me. On the surface it's about well, being rational, and about not allowing past biases to determine a course of action.

    But in practice? In practice it's basically like creationism, where the conclusion is already decided and the work involves creating "logical" steps to justify the predetermined conclusion. The Rationalist community always makes me think of the John Galbraith quote:

    "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

    In that it's easier for them to come up with an entire framework to justify bigotry, than to question if the bigotry needs to be there at all.

  • Being entirely anti-AI or entirely pro-AI are both absurd positions.

    They're also, largely, strawmen.
