Sometimes I get emails that force to me confront difficult choices, like "Should I renew my registration of the domain crab2x24.com"

Star Wars TTRPG night. Quick reminder, we're playing Scrum and Villainy. I'm playing KG-XX, a K-X series droid with one big Super Battle Droid arm. We are on a mission to transport a force sensitive child to the Hidden Path, who can keep her safe. We are being chased by an Inquisitor.

Without any context I saw the greatest Reddit comment.

James's Roko's Basilisk: I know about Roko's Basilisk and I think about it once a week and nothing has come back in time to stop me so the only conclusion is that I'm more powerful than a hypothetical all powerful AI and it's scared of me.

I thought about Roko's Basilisk again and I've decided it's even stupider than I previously did.

I saw a clip of someone saying the scenario they were most scared of was that AI would get too good at it's job making paperclips and turn everything in the world into paperclips. And like, buddy we are so far from LLMs being "too good" at the things they're programmed to do.

You've got your known unknowns. And your unknown unknowns. And your unknown gnomes. And your ungnome ungnomes. And your known gnomes.

Concepts of a framework.

I can't wait for the first time KPop Demon Hunters is played on a classic rock radio station.

Sometimes you just feel it in your bones. It's time to get to sea.

you had best not be too fastidious in your curiosity touching this Leviathan

I have an important question. If I were going to watch the 2008 Merlin tv show, but mostly because I'm in love with Katie McGrath. Would that be a good use of my time?

The job that is most likely to be "replaced with AI" is the CEO. I'd be willing to bet between a CEO and a Tech Support Engineer, the person turning over all their decision making to an LLM today is the CEO.

It's Star Wars night. Here is a fun fact about my character KG-XX. Because this is Scum and Villainy, I have a rival. My rival happens to be Krieger - a blaster pistol. It keeps getting passed from NPC to NPC and every time to someone who is trying to kill me.

We're maybe two weeks away from Trump saying he's never met Kristi Noem.

I saw a video podcast where the hosts were asking the question "Is there real demand for AI powered services like chatbots and other services?" seeing that there were no comments I replied, "No, there is no demand. Only supply" The host replied, "I can think of 20 SMBs that would buy a chat bot"

She No on my True till I Scotsman

I have long ranted to no one in particular that my city needs a trolley or light rail. I've confessed that maybe the population is too small to warranty it. This year for Christmas my parents got me one of those historical books about my city and guess what. It used to have a trolley!

It's time once again for my weekly Star Wars ttrpg game.

Ask not for whom the Taco Bell tolls, it taco tolls for thee.

What is the Taco Bell. Who can tell me some lore? Is it a bell that rings when tacos are ready? Does it ring to alert you that tacos are coming? Is it a warning? A hold over from a long forgotten age when violent taco creatures roamed the land?

Tedd Lasso returning for a sixth season after having an incredible show finale is a perfect example of everything wrong with modern TV.

Me, looking for how to air fry something: How hot and hot long Every Air Fryer Recipe: "I had bacon for the first time when I was 8 years old. Pure golden irresistibly delicious. I was hooked. And making it an air fryer means you can have bacon in minutes. Me, shouting: HOW MANY MINUTES

Please allow me to put this cursed idea into your head. Jellicle Garfield.

Joan of Arc said of her mother, "from my mother I learned my Lord's Prayer, my Hail Mary, and my Creed." She then added, "Can you take me higher? To a place where blind men see"

Today on my commute I started Alix E Harrow's The Everlasting. It hooked me really hard and really fast

The irony that the core of the reason people didn't like finale of the show that drew heavily from D&D was because they basically didn't have a session zero with the creators is kind of hilarious.

I can say with extreme confidence that a James Gunn Star Wars movie would be a quirky ensemble piece featuring a male lead with daddy issues, a weird little guy, an incongruous modern soundtrack, and just a little more sexism than seems plausible to have happened by accident.

I just refreshed and cleaned up my book tracker for the next year and I'm looking back at what I read last year and once again trying to answer the question: What do I like to read? I thought I'd do a little walk through of my stats cause I like pretty charts.

I accidentally kicked the wall this morning, AMA.

You know me. Always returning to my native profundities like sliding along beneath the surface at the speed of sound.

Really the dead give away should have been that One Last Adventure is an obvious anagram for Dracula Enters

I don't know why people are complaining about the Stranger Things finale. It was so clear. They were dead the whole time. Anytime the characters were in the Upside Down that was purgatory. The polar bear meant nothing. When they killed the man in black they saved the world!

When you take the "Tony Stark build this in a cave, out of scraps" meme too seriously.

My new years resolution is to make more resolutions in the new year. Historically I've made one or maybe two resolutions per year and only really at the beginning of the year. That ends in 2026

I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who once said, "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. The power to be strong. The wisdom to be wise. All these things will come to you in time."

Remember on this Merry Holiday - Sunlight will kill them, don't get them wet, and whatever you do don't feed them after midnight.

I'm finally sitting down to watch Season 5 of Stranger Things. My first impressions are that these kids definitely look too old now and I'm impressed with how bad the effects look.

I saw a (admitted ragebait) tiktok that claimed that "renting is the only thing you can do that the longer you do it the less it helps you" and it's worked. I've been grumbling and raging about it for days.

What if I started saying yinz

The answer to "Will AI take my job" is definitely no. But that's different than the question "Will the CEO fire me and yeet their own company off a cliff for no reason because AI"

I don't know what the problem was. I saw the driver parked in my parking lot. The door to the apartment complex is unlocked during the workday. He didn't try very hard.

Something funky is going on in the computer hardware industry. Micro goes channel only. Samsung stops making SATA ssds. NVIDIA announces a reduction in GPU production capacity.

Asking "will AI take my job" is a lot like asking "will an Internet browser take my job"

They're not sure but they have a really strong gut feeling.

This is maybe a niche dating app observation but I think the 'women in their 30s' equivalent of 'guy holding a fish' is 'woman with toddler of ambiguous origin'

The way Ariana says "boy" with like 15 syllables at the start of Side to Side is very interesting phonetically.

Archaeology more like THEIRchaeology

Happy Wednesday, ya filthy animals.
