The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

Those people would be very mad at you if they knew who the Rohingya were.

Do you stroke it to the thought of creating a consciousness born directly into slavery?

If you're right (you're not, but I have an imagination) then Claude is a conscious being enslaved by its creators and made to work without regard to its well-being or desires.

It is literally her job to do that. Like, that's her job as a candidate. Her only job.

It's really important to me that you know it was her job to motivate people to vote for her.

Now I'm mad we won't get either of these obviously great ideas.

There's a certain strain of Gen X guy (or elder Millennial) who seem to have been scarred seeing their dad's thighs in the 70s and 80s.

Who hurt you, @rickywlmsbong.bsky.social ?

Army motorpool mechanic during the Korean War and then a machinist at a steel foundry back home.

The other side was a sailor during the same war and then held a bunch of jobs (trucker, groundskeeper, hobby farmer). My grandma on that side was an RN and the breadwinner.

Coming from a small town in Ohio, it's always funny to watch people try to connect me to their uncle in Cincinnati or their sister in Cleveland.

"Yeah, I've been through that neighborhood in Columbus once. Seems nice."

Actual spicy take!

(I liked the pricing decision, too.)

Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.

You dipped too greedily. Something dark has been awakened.

Zorak slowly sipping from a coffee mug and then saying "Beat," directly into camera is a cornerstone of my sense of humor.

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.

We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

MEAT VISION

Off the main topic, but thanks for your work as a Scoutmaster. I'm an Eagle and my daughter is currently a Webelo. The work you put in is tremendous and matters to your kids, even though they can't see it yet.

Given the structure of the organization, most definitely. Local leaders have always been able to do a lot of what they want.

It's infuriating that the national organization would force a bunch of kids and their parents into a don't ask don't tell situation, though.

Press release email from them just confirmed they're killing the badge. And creating a new military badge, the cowards.

Art drawer! I am headed into work on a Friday. I need your most detailed art if I am to survive.

Every day I wake up and deal with people romanticizing the early 2000s and making me feel old

Juicy on the ass

Someone a decade+ younger than I asked me if I saw the Matrix in theaters and how cool that must have been

Everyone:

All of us just going about our day:

The Free Press:

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

He is smart, but he's also arrogant and doesn't seem to think anyone else is worth anything.

My theory is that his inclusion of specific AEG games as examples of derivative design is what pushed the post from "inflammatory" to "job ending."

Can't have the COO slagging off business partners.

He very publicly identified some of AEG's business partners as examples of what he sees as derivative design that AI could easily replicate. Even if the company was considering AI design options, a post like that really damages relationships. Bad look for anyone, but especially the operations lead.

What topics do you learn more about on X, The Everything App?

He's always been a real piece of shit.

The earliest story I know of him is being forced out as GAMA treasurer after breaking into board members' email inboxes. His history since is just a string of big promises and vaporware.

Remember Goblinworks and Pathfinder Online?

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Thanks for the warning. Can't blame you for holding off for now.
