Most Blatantly Racist Blog from the OWL

 Would she be making this much stink of it were white asses? 

The way her brain functions.  SMH.

Is Overuse of AI a Sign of Being a Moron? How About Habitual Shallow Thinking?

 The owl is still using the racist AI.  But that is not the point of this post.  She has bought fully in, at least says she has.  There is the theory that CBS actually didn't cancel Colbert's late-night show because of political pressure.  The argument is that if they really wanted to shut him up, why did they give him 10 months to stay on air?

That is sophistry:

Sophistry refers to subtly deceptive reasoning or argumentation that appears plausible but is often misleading or fallacious. It originated from ancient Greek philosophers known as sophists, who were skilled in rhetoric but later gained a negative reputation for their questionable reasoning methods. Merriam-Webster Wikipedia

And morons fall for that shit.  

Here is the problem with that moronic argument.  I will start with the truism, that two or more things can be true at the same time.  Going the next level up, false choices are false.  We don't really know all the possible reasons that went into the decision.  Failing to allow for the possibility of more than one thing being behind the decision, is moronic.

Next is the human limitation point.  Humans tend to fucking suck at, as in having pretty much no ability to read other people's minds.  

And I will end on the Aaron Burr point.  From the musical, one of that character's lead songs is the one where he sings about wanting to be in the room where it happens.  If someone wasn't in not only what ever real or virtual space where the decision was made, one was not in the room where it happened, so at best is just guessing.  Which humans suck at.

Any of a number of explanations could be the truth here.  Personally, I immediately guessed the gloves would be off for the remainder of the show's run.  And I watched last night, and was quickly proven right.  There was a show of solidarity with the other late-night hosts being in the studio audience.  Jolly good fun!  However.  Since we don't know what happened in the room.  There could have been some deal where network brass greed to capitulate to the political pressure.  And bargained for the timing, hoping Colbert would go out in a blaze.  

I will leave it there.  Yes, I used to work at CBS's hq.  40 years ago.  So any manager I could have known then is long gone now.  But I can easily imagine some of the lawyers and network brass thinking . . . . be careful what you wish for bitches.  We do this TV thing for a living.

 

Part Deux. Do You Want People

 To believe you are a Nazi sympathizer, lady? 

Despite the notorious scandal of the  nazification of Grok's coding.  The Owl is still posting about using it. 

I can't even construct an appropriate comparison.  I can recall the famous old one about buying Playboy magazine for the articles.  Implying that the person isn't even looking at the nude girly pics.  But that doesn't quite work.

Some asshole who has been called out for white supremacist racist bullshit.  Has a social media site he owns. He is the true boss.  And that platform has an AI that is in house.  At least in the, from, somewhere in the boss's house.  And not for the first time, the AI has spewed racist shit.  But this time it went full nazified? 

And the little old lady blogger blogs about the story.  And then goes back to blogging about still using the nazified AI?

Reach your own conclusions about Althouse.  I have.

Put Down and Walk Away From the Grok, Althouse!

 Call this a distraction from the nazification of the American Federal Government, by orange hitler.  I have updated my coinage of orangenazi to orange hitler.  And proud of it, but sad because of the reasons I feel it is warranted.  But I am supposed to be avoiding that.  So come on trivial shit!  

Ann Althouse has long had a very annoying and childish habit of posting trashy and or trendy articles, and acting as if that stupid shit was really real.  For example, she got on a tangent today, based on the specifically Italian variant of an old wives' tale.  Ya know the one about catching cold?  That shit.  Asking rhetorical questions as if?  As if that is biologically or medically true?

Hey lady!  You are connected to the WWW!  A simple search query,  and reading what some reputable medical entity or MD says, can answer that.  And in my words.  Fuck no!  Fuck no!  You don't catch cold, or the Italian version of the fuck no not real wives' tale, "colpo d’aria,"  and get sick that way.  

"Colds" are caused by germs.   I learned that actually before I was 16 and took that class in Bacteriology.  But that class really hammered in the truth of it.  The kids in the class were given petri dishes.  That we planted in various places, just to see what germs would grow over a week or two.

But let me be clear.  She is free to do and repeat whatever ignorant nonsense she likes.  And I am free to call her out on it.  Ignorant!  I  believe in her right to be wrong.  And I believe in my right to mock her for it.

Speaking of earned mockery.  She still is pumping shit into Grok, and publishing the returns as if it is anything a reasonable, rational person should follow.  Like I said.   I  believe in her right to be wrong.  But seriously, lady.  Grok?  The AI owned by muskrat?  Seriously?

In the interest of full disclosure.  I went on a tear lately.  I was trying to change my google to properly function without abusing me by throwing some shitty AI response at the top of my return search list.  In short.  I ended up changing the default search engine it uses to duckduckgo.  So I am spared the mind killing shit that is what ever AI that google uses.  However, I still get suggested top returns from the duck.   They have an AI there too, but it is optional.  Less of an Orwellian horror than other  search AI.  And not really a chatbot.  So yeah.  Less of a mind killer.  

Why keep your own critical thinking skills sharp, when you can let some billionaire bozo or the weird little shits who work for them spoon feed you what they want you to believe?  I will tell you bitches why!  Because Descartes was correct.  "Cogito ergo sum!"

Here is a screenshot from some article that matches my opinion.  So it must be the correct answer.

(I know it doesn't really work that way.  I trust that the study was legit, I do say.)

Juneteenth 2025

 I won't go long here.  But to say what I really want to do today is arrest several boatloads of Republicans, for crimes against humanity.  

I am not calling the Owl a nazi lover, but . . .

 Before I go any further.  Consider this an example of how correlation is not necessarily causation.  Or.  In this case.  It's less a matter of causation, than it is transitive property stuff.   

Anyway.  The owl seems to have a liking for grok.  Which as I call him, Muskrat is lately using to push what is a flat out, white supremacist bullshit.  I just round all that kind of shit off to being nazi shit.  It's an easier reference than Boer or South African racist shit.

But I would admit it is not fair at all to say that merely because she likes grok and is,seems overly sympathetic to as I call him, the orangenazi, that she herself is a nazi lover.  But.  Some people are making that connection.  I have to guess.

Notorious Nazi Musk Being a Nazi. Still and Always?

Andor - Mon Mothma's Wedding Dance

According to the creator of the Disney/Star Wars series "Andor."  Mon Mothma is dancing (with such abandon,) to keep from screaming.  Spoiler alerts to follow.

Mon Mothma was a minor, as far as screen time goes, character from the last of the original trilogy.  At that point in time she is one of  the highest leaders of the rebellion against the evil empire and emperor.  She pops back in the franchise in the film "Rogue One."  But she is one of the three most important characters in the "Andor" series.

The setting.  We are at least a year or so before the revolution takes out the death star.  She is having a very bad day, week, year.  A lot of shit is hitting her, between her daughter's wedding to a loveless union, blackmail from her oldest friend, and having to ok his assassination.  And not only struggling to keep the revolution going and remaining undetected, their top operative on a crucial mission, is way past his check-in.  So yeah.  She wants to scream, but abandons herself to trance dance instead.

This is the culture story of the week.   Among people like me, at least.  Sci-Fi fans who look to the politics and rebellion in the Star Wars galaxy as something too close to reality.  Many of us want to scream, over what the empire we have to deal with, has been up to.  And would love to be able to trance dance for a bit and really blow off some steam.

I am definitely on Team Mon Mothma!
