Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

“You misunderstand. You don’t get to fly, you just get flies.”

That’s an excellent line. Can i steal it?

If I say “yes”, then it’s not stealing. So, no.

Well, if you have a big Kahuna, doesn’t that imply the existence of at least one small kahuna?

Heh. I saw that.

I feel safe in considering RFK Jr to bea stupid mfer, so this bit of news should fit this thread. He’s now fending off accusations he ate a dog. (The link goes to Yahoo.)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been linked to numerous bizarre headlines — including that a doctor once told him he had a worm in his brain — but things just got a lot weirder.

A Vanity Fair article published Tuesday contained an allegation that the independent presidential candidate once ate a barbecued dog.

I have to say, every time a new RFK Jr. story pops up I can’t help but think he can’t possibly be serious right? This guy doesn’t strike me as a serious politician, he seems like he should be coming out for a 5-second joke once a night on Jimmy Kimmel. Not whatever the hell he’s doing now.

Today’s Paul Paulsen?

Pat P.

Damn. I knew that. Must’ve been a brain fart.

That’s how I felt about Trump, too. And now look.

Remember when people thought this guy was some sort of noble truth-teller instead of just another Putin stooge?

Never cared for the traitor.

Picky, picky, picky.

The scientific journal Medicine has published a study on gout which contains AI-generated diagrams of pure gibberish.

You mean the bones in your legs don’t look like fingers? You at least have an extra bone in your left leg, right?

I wonder if a human wrote the caption. It’s considerably more coherent than the rest of the diagram. Of course, just being in a human-readable language helps with that.

I never knew gout was so sparkly.

On the right drugs, everything is sparkly.

I suppose somebody mentally lazy about like “The Dude” Lebowsky but on drugs is a decent mental model for how a 2024 AI generates its results.

All connections, not much filters. Sounds profound, but really isn’t.

So, Kahlil Gibran?

I think we’ve just solved the Voynich Manuscript. It’s AI generated. That’s why the texts and images make no sense.

As for the article, I fear for the future.
