Watching an endless loop of ten second clips? Haha this younger generation. When I was your age we used to watch a variety show starring an ostrich puppet, a man with a cowboy hat and a reel to reel sound player. It was so racist Harry Connick Jr. made a formal protest. It was three hours long

"what does it even mean to be nonbinary if you just present as your assigned gender" well for one thing i am able to compel computers to treat me with fear and respect
so, I got a bit sick of people asking me about generative AI and @yarnspinner.dev, so I wrote some LinkedIn-style (sorry) thought leadership on the matter

the banning of tiktok is another painful reminder to buy physical copies of your media. i have dozens of dvds of an ai voice reading reddit comments over unrelated minecraft footage.

Some people are paid to watch the tinder for a wildfire alight in ember and only call when the chemical cascade begins its exponential.
Others are sentenced to get in there and fucking rake the firebreak.
Are you paying someone to rake, or are you waiting to watch the firestorm. Make a choice.

I love this quote from Ed's essay: "true masculinity is a sense of responsibility for both oneself and others, and finding strength in supporting and uplifting them with sincerity and honesty"
Yes.
This is it in a nutshell. They don't want to work out a picture, they don't want to have an idea and develop it with sketches or brush strokes that take it in new, better directions and they certainly don't want to learn from mistakes, they just want to be given something.

AI folks have now discovered “thinking”
FYI, folks from Bluesky. Workers at The Barn, among other agricultural buildings, are now shutting the door after the horse got out. Shutting the door, telling people the door is shut, is a form of accountability for the horse that’s now completely free.
i think it’s unfair to expect regular people to know precisely how journalism works so i will say the answer to “why did they sit on that story for so long” is often “because of lawyers”

Friend, you are forty two years old. You are supposed to be the helper.
I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file.
PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields.
