Hi, I'm running for office in a decade, and I'm dedicating 1% of the budget to putting art in traditionally-artless places.

Testing a hot take here: Good Government is Information Science The idea being that the most useful thing a centralized body can do is determine high-quality information and then distribute it to the people that need that information to do their jobs.

nothing to do but watch the game

Whenever someone (myself included lol) throws around "AI" or "AGI" to refer to a software system or hypothetical software system, I think of Blake's on general good versus minute particulars. bsky.app/profile/chri...

This is called change blindness, demonstrated by Dan Simons in his amazing gorilla experiment, and then in this classic (which coincidentally was co-produced by me): youtu.be/v3iPrBrGSJM?...

One of the very best from Clickhole

Oh yeah you can check out the OST of RUIN Ch.0: officialelectric.bandcamp.com/track/ruin-c...

Been listening to Dark Side of the Moon (for obvious reasons) and I forgot how fundamental Time is to all the anxiety I "enjoy" in my day-to-day

He called his shot in 2016.

In re the New Yorker article, I was perusing the deepest corners of my Twitter archives and I found a Dec 11 2015 tweet calling OpenAI a scam because it was founded by Musk and Altman, so I’d like my solid gold Day-3 AI hater trophy and Bluesky accolades delivered at everyone’s earliest convenience.

Möther...take pity, I am but skin & bones

It's pretty and it's good and it's funny and it's good and there's things I want more than this but it's unachievable stuff like World Peace and a Good Night's Sleep

Guys I want this very badly. Please don't make me spend thousands of dollars to get this over the line

"The experiment succeeded because the human supervisor had done the grunt work, years ago, that the machine is now supposedly liberating us from."

The NYT, a paper devoted to spreading the propaganda of rich “centrists” and right wing Trump apologists, isn’t critiquing the wealthy or defending the needy; it’s just trying to stigmatize public services and evangelize for means testing to undermine a socialist mayor. Just my opinion!

***URGENT*** It has just come to my attention that there are some people here who are unfamiliar with the pink fairy armadillo. I repeat: PINK. FAIRY. ARMADILLO. If you are one of them, you need to google it immediately (and thank me later).

We can’t keep being the first, last, and only journalists reporting stories like this. It’s exhausting holding the line.

There are so few times I've actually LOL'd at a comic and @ryannorth.ca got me with this name here

what are we if not worms with too many extra parts

A good, cathartic time

april fools day also means its the third (!?!) anniversary of my really cool bird undertale fangame. happy birthday vs really cool bird bobacupcake.itch.io/vs-really-co...

SCP Foundation for Children (laudatory)

Excellent April fool's crosswords in puzzmo, in that I hated the main one very much, but I also did it at 2am when the work call ended up being unreal www.puzzmo.com/today

"Rastro do Ouro", the first Argentinian animated series by Adult Swim & Cartoon Network, is coming to HBO Max (Brasil) on April 13. Directed by Daniel Duche. Based on his "Furia Estival" indie short film, which I shared in 2021. >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbtw... >> www.catsuka.com/news/2021-10...

in hindsight, it's fascinating how many visions of AI older science fiction offers, compared to the narrow range we see today. such works are foundational to the ways modern AI cultists self-mythologize- the particular fascinations they have, their paranoid fantasies, their imagined futures.

I'd completely slept on Common Side Effects. It's a great show with excellent writing, performances and art direction (fantastic score too!). Looking forward to season 2 and I definitely recommend checking it out!

plus building a strategic notebook reserve

It's brutal; the better I feel in the morning, the less I want to log in for work

Clocking in for my shift at the Mad At You factory so I can do CIA-involved industrial sabotage ❤️

it all works so well when it spins in game!!! bulma's mom and that one lady in the tournament get the same treatment with their hair

Someone created an old school playable jrpg in second life and I wanna talk about it but I feel like I'm absolutely reaching the limits of what people who follow me will tolerate me posting about

Having read a fair amount of LitRPG, I really think that this feeling I get as someone who learnt how to program and is now watching a generation of people who can only code using LLMs, must be exactly how wizards would feel watching a generation of people who can only cast magic using the System

huh how the hell did that happen

Does anybody need to see a tiny dragon and a caterpillar today? Yeah, me too.

I fight about Second Wind for a minute, but there's a killer video on loss that's hitting surprisingly deep for me: m.youtube.com/watch?v=J-UU...

Joe wintergreen posts posts, sometimes as often as multiple times a day

The Western Canon, imo, is like UNIX: it wont make you a better person, but familiarity with it will help anyone do anything more clearly and effectively in the relevant domain

It's so good, why didn't I do this ages ago when I was working in horribly organized Matlab???

Last place has now moved down to 201st 😔

Two years out. RIP to a real one. #francisscottkeybridge

It's me but the couch is my desk chair as I desperately struggle to make a single piece of my game on the computer instead of a notebook
