I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this ๐Ÿ˜‰

BROKE: Australia should not develop nukes

WOKE: Australia should develop nukes

BESPOKE: Australia already developed nukes with the assistance of Aum Shinrikyo, as evidenced by the Banjawarn Station incident of 1993

I still (in Feb 2026) find it makes things up too often for the text itself to be reliably useful for me. If I can beat it with a hammer hard enough to get links out of it and get Gemini not to forget the context from 2 replies ago, I can get some use out of it.

I think it's true that a lot of Americans have financial challenges they didn't have decades ago but that is not the same as poverty and those challenges are made worse, not helped, by spreading bullshit implications around the idea that we can somehow lower inflation while also providing services

sometimes i think about that thing a disco elysium dev said in response to someone asking why choosing fascist options lowers your morale. that being a fascist is miserable, since it requires you to believe that you are being dominated by the weak and unworthy in everything you do.

Me, to my watch: What time is it
My watch (on screen): It is 12:14:36
My watch (speaking): It is twelve, two, thirty six

Google has invented a watch that doesn't understand time

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

The answer I want (because it's the funniest I can think of) is that they had 20 customers and 1 got breached.

I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks!

People who know me know that I love a good QR code. But I've just met my QR code nemesis: a QR code menu link at a restaurant that launches WhatsApp so you have to message and get a PDF menu in return. No paper menu.

I don't think I have *those* kind of concerns particularly. I probably figured it out from context hearing a Brit, and I think most others would, because the alternate interpretation doesn't make much sense. Maximum clarity can also mean maximally boring, but yeah, depends on the context.

I've never heard any complaints, but I remember seeing "to flog" as "to hit" more often, so I *could* imagine it'd be confusing so some. Just guessing since there were no other answers here.

My god, the AI opinions on this site, pro- and anti-, are awful.

Oh no, not yours! Your in-group you isolate yourself with hasn't led you astray, of course not!
