Wow, today I learned that some people still consider Glen Beck relevant, and he's a Mormon. That's all the thinking about him I want to do for another decade though.

Very cool. Keep me updated, dogs.

Wait, these are both Ethan, right?

This thing hk slaps so hard.

Nah, the LA protesters know what to do when you riot: tear shit up and set things on fire. Based. The Jan 1st rioters took shits in the hall and... got themselves shot? Embarrassing.

I'm really tired of seeing this show in leftist spaces. You are witnessing the procession of simulacra in real time, and it's one of your symbols now. The machine is eating your ideology. Disney is the probably the largest producer of treats in the world. They are the undisputed masters of hyperreality. All this milquetoast rhetoric is in there on purpose. Joe Hamburger likes Andor too. Joe Hamburger is listening to leftist thought be watered down until it's palettable for him, until it's sanitized and safe for him to consume.

Comrade, I would trust a 75 year old before a 14 year old, any day. What the hell does my nephew know about current events other than the latest skibidi toilet lore? Leave the minimums where they are, just put some maximums in place.

It's also just not the same thing at all. The distillations are not even remotely close to the 600+b parameters of the parent model. You can't run Deepseek on your GPU at home. It's the equivalent of buying your kid a powerwheels car. They're not driving a car. They can't drive a car at home.

Edit - I do run the distillations at home though and they're fine for what I use them for. I'm not openai-pilled. I just hate when people say that you can run the same software as a massive datacenter privately.

I defy you to try to spread refrigerated peanut butter on anything - at least the natural stuff. And nothing like ruining your nice warm waffle with cold syrup. I've never had maple syrup go bad in the pantry, but I'm a pancake man, so maybe I just go through it.

I wouldn't even be mad if someone killed me with this.

I don't know if you can call it independently. It's a bit like how clothes from the 70s keep coming back in style. They're not being invented again; it's an homage.

You know, I was really excited to find a deodorant that said Pine on it and it actually smelled like pine, not sandalwood and cheap cologne. But this brand is so obnoxious that I'm genuinely embarrassed I ever used it.
