80 terabytes of books? that's like... every book

at this point Joe probably thinks Beau is still alive

I had the same experience with A Real Pain. I was like "ehhh an indie dramedy directed by a famous actor? sure I guess I'll put it on" and was kinda blown away by it.

it bothers me that there's a CUT and PASTE but no COPY

also no CTRL? I guess HYPER acts as CTRL?

his first "controversy" was him saying "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" after Hurricane Katrina. he really peaked out of the gate and it's been all downhill since then

As Steve would say, God Bless...

a lot of people say that phrase. I don't think you can credit it to Steve

well it's not like their jobs involve doing any actual work

I would never want to trip with my own family but I definitely want to trip with this family

transphobes love to claim they are "protecting" (cis) women. and then they do this shit

"disability" fuck these fascists

ah right, the type of people who only travel for the gram and don't really engage with the culture of the place they're visiting anyway. imagine having the resources to go anywhere in the world and getting nothing out of it except some content for the slop factory. very cool

AI's propensity towards hyper-individualism. don't people listen to podcasts to learn something about the world outside of themselves, to hear someone else's story or perspective? this need for content so specifically geared towards oneself just shouts "main character syndrome"

also I just can't imagine how an AI-generated podcast based on your vacation pics would even be interesting to listen to. why would you want to hear a fake person relay your own memories back to you based on something as superficial as a photograph? surely your actual lived experience is deeper and more valuable than what some algorithm assumes from a bunch of pixels

and of course it will inevitably say something wrong, probably often. maybe the AI identifies a fruit stand in your photos and the artificial host says something about how strong the smell of strawberries was, except you don't actually remember smelling strawberries. maybe it's been awhile so you think "hm I guess it did smell like strawberries " and the AI just implanted a false memory. disturbing stuff lol
