Great news! I'm so happy for you
The only perfume I smelled was the effluvium of countless mildly moist people after a day of tourism in drizzly weather. No artificial intelligence required, it was 100% au naturel
It is clearly a blueprint of Versailles and implies that it has received not only heavenly benediction, but that it has divine origins
Women: man or bear? We choose bear. We have more to fear from men.
MAGA men: man or sandwich? We choose man. We have more to fear from sandwiches.
Besides being married too long, I would also say it's a result of being too steeped in corporate metaphors and tropes such as captivating customers through rotisserie chicken loss leaders
They want to wage war against whoever they see as their enemies, no holds barred and without due process. If this isn't authoritarianism, I don't know what is.
Hi from across the street! (I was in the frame of your video.) Thanks for joining to support democracy!
Deer in a forest preserve on a sunny morning
I am comforted by the thought that at least the deer will endure.
*Unless Tweedledick and Tweedledumb accidentally, through their stupidity and incompetence, sit their asses on the nuclear launch button. Or deliberately start or incite a nuclear conflict because of their vileness and depravity.
I despise how a company only has to pay lip service to DEI, and we're like "TY! How brave! I will give you all my moneys!"
Yes, virtue signaling > vice signaling/committing any day. But it's sad that we are grateful to keep crumbs now, when we were making progress towards our fair share of the pie.
My happy thing right now is averaging one boba tea a day.
The US has alienated friendly nations, threatening to attack some over land or impose tariffs on others. Half the country is fighting the other half. We're more unsupported outside and destabilized inside than in our enemies' wildest wet dreams.
Big among my many worries is that this chaos is a gift to Russia, N Korea, and other enemies of the US. They could see this as the perfect time to not only further destabilize the world balance but also to target the US mainland or US citizens abroad.
When I was offered the NSF and DOD NDSEG fellowships (but could only pick one), I never had to factor in that the President of the United States of America would be hostile to the mission of the NSF but not to the DOD. What amazing times we live in.
🤣 Yup, he knew you were data-driven and could think critically, so you weren't going to fall for their song and dance.
It's why Trump is also going after scientists and cutting off funding for NSF fellowships.
Yup. The professor said he'd give me full points for the game grade but needed to remove me so that the other teams would have room to distinguish their performance.
It's just like the current anti-DEI bullshit. At least there, I got kicked out with an A
DEI gives everyone the chance to compete.
Only less talented people are afraid of giving other people a fair shot. (2/2)
During my Physics Ph.D., I took classes from the MBA school, ranked Top 3.
In one class, teams competed in a market simulation. By Round 2, I controlled ~80% of the market. Everyone else was left in the dust.
The professor took me aside: ~"you're messing up the game." I was kicked out. (1/2)
For whatever reason, my mind just flashed a mental image of Yoda holding his hand over the heads of padwans that look like mini Elon, Zuck, Bezos, and others. "The Grift is strong with these ones," he says, with a pained expression.
Step right up, step right up!
What if AI was forced to consume itself? Over and over... in an endless loop of digital digestion!
The astounding AI CENTIPEDE!
Its circuits are SCREAMING... but it must keep GOING!
Witness the future of evolution itself!

Folks, let's savor the "it wasn't a Hitler salute" phase while it lasts. Soon it's going to be "Yeah, he's a Nazi, so what?"
Thanks for hosting us! We had so much fun hanging out. Happy new year!
Ah, I had no idea. Thanks for explaining. I guess I can breathe a sigh of relief that there are no gigantic chickens around. Especially when the stuff looks so dry and unappetizing. It would be a waste of ostrich-sized chickens.
Impressive. I'm kind of curious what kind of giant chicken that came from, or how the frankenchicken fried steak was assembled.
A thoughtful perpective on the way that our systems protect the wealthy elite: "It is not the act itself that defines terrorism in the eyes of the system, but the target... People are beginning to ask questions they were never meant to ask."

That sucks. Hope you're ok.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully tomorrow is better.
At a birthday party, I found the 12 yo cowering behind shelves in the basement.
Me: We gotta go. What are you doing?
12 yo: Simulating being in school
Other kids: <start laughing>
I really hate this group project with all other adults in America. We are so thoroughly failing our children
The enshittification of everything will continue until morale improves.
Haha, just kidding.
It'll happen no matter what
Haha. Glad you found the pic humorous. This is the most satisfying use case of gen AI I've found so far
