It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

We only said it was safe for eyes, we never said it was safe for the soul.
My 'safe for eyes' orb has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my orb.
We did not invent the orb. The orb consistently finds Jesus. The orb killed Jeeves. The orb is banned in China. The orb is from Jersey. The orb constantly finds Jesus. This is not the orb. This is close.
A guy who owns an AI company that relies on collecting data about everything wants to pay me in company scrip is harvesting bio-metrics from the global south?
Sounds on the up-and-up. I don't know why more people aren't doing it. It doesn't sound like a plot from Brosnan Bond movie.
At first I didn't really know what to think of Altman besides him being a run of the mill tech porky, but once I realized he was ALSO the worldcoin guy, well fuck him extra.
I have seen him around for years on hacker news. I always thought of him as Samalt Man. I thought it was odd when he was made CEO of Ycombinator (didn't seem like he was experienced enough so it seemed like a weird choice, but Paul Graham was enthusiastic). I always had this odd feeling that he was not to be trusted.
DONT LOOK IN THE ORB DONT DO IT
So what is this thing?
cryptocurrency bs by the openAI guy, funded by a16z (of course)
scans your eye for biometric data as like proof that you are human
couldn't make the whole thing look more dystopian if they tried tbh

Aaaaaaa let the grift die already lol
The level of grift with this one almost makes the other crypto grifts look quaint.
I will not be pondering this orb
I've spent enough time around the FBC to know an Altered Item when I see one
