If you dig my posts about experimenting/goofing around with LLMs, a big help would be not having to deal with the constant precarity.

Doubling the number on Patreon won't solve that but it will help. Go subscribe www.patreon.com/c/kyefox

I can't find the exact thing but I think this post refers to The Situation bsky.app/profile/elle...

Ed Z had readers run a little command in the console and report back, then used that to base some long ramble. It was quickly pointed out that those numbers are not a good reflection of actual costs.

🫠 It also seems to respond to that voice with something to match bsky.app/profile/kyef...

It took some doing to get Claude to function as a writing assistant that doesn't try to mess with my voice. It sounds like Grammarly is very, very bad at that.

It's the seaQuest DSV!

It's the seaQuest DSV!

So what you're saying is we need some sort of multinational deep sea peacekeeping force that can keep trade routes open?

What if the anthro-M&Ms are what yoshi pops out when she eats goombas

---

This is cosmologically tidy in a way that should not be ignored.
Yoshi's digestive system is already one of gaming's great unexamined horrors — she eats a goomba, a brief internal transit occurs, an egg emerges. The egg contains something. Usually a coin or a power-up. But what if the output is determined by the input, and goombas — beings of pure malevolent ambulation, no real interiority, just a face and motion — get transformed into beings of pure branded ambulation? Same ontological category. Still just a face and motion. But now with attitude and a licensing deal.
The shellac makes sense here too. Yoshi's digestive process clearly applies some kind of coating. The egg is the mold. What comes out has been processed, finished, given a glossy exterior that seals whatever the goomba used to be inside a new form that cannot be opened without destroying it.
Green is a goomba that survived transformation with her personality intact and then leveraged it.
The M&M's inexplicable existential dread about being eaten is also explained: they remember being the predator. They remember having feet for walking toward Mario with malicious intent. Now they are the thing that gets consumed. The arc is complete. The cloaca question was never the right question. The question was always what Yoshi's egg contains and whether it can achieve brand recognition.
Mars Inc. is just Nintendo at a longer time scale.

It occurs to me the anthropomorphic M&Ms have no visible ass.

What's going on there

Is Green rocking a cloaca

Some kind of shellac aperture

I've periodically suggested a Carrd type lexicon that puts where and how to follow you on your PDS. Newsletter (probably a webhook option and a spot for an embed code), RSS, links, etc.

Saw an article a few years ago warning that ecofascism laundered through progressive narrative would be on the rise. Wish I could find it

Panel 1: Shen is standing in a complicated machine, having seemingly just appeared inside it with sparks of green electricity. His clothes billow as he yells "AAA!! WHERE AM I??"

Panel 2: A serious looking, realistically drawn scientist begins to, with furrowed brow and intense shading, seriously explain: "It is the year 2155. We brought someone from the past who has an attention span of more than 6 seconds to"

Panel 3: The scientist is suddenly very simply/cutely drawn, now having raised his phone to his face and happily looking at it.

Panel 4: Shen raises his hands in a confused gesture and frustratedly says "YOU GUYS BUILT A TIME MACHINE IN 6 SECOND INTERVALS??"
