An absolute horrific nightmare of two AI bots caught in a loop with each other is the perfect example of the total nothingness of AI “brains”.

Amazing, no notes, I do not desire to learn anything else about this story, for it would only detract from the perfection on this headline.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Life tip: if you're laminating something you're gonna hang outside, cut the corners off before you laminate it, so that when you make holes for the string or pins or whatever you're using to hang it up with, the holes are just in the plastic and don't create an entry point for water into the paper.

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

Gen AI doth remove commitment from art. Yf an artist ys committed to makinge somethinge trulye weirde, even shockinge, that artist doth neede to crafte the art, at everye steppe thinkinge, "Yes, Ich am drawinge a sexy C-3PO." Wyth Gen AI you kan make a sexy C-3PO wythout caringe, and that ys wrong.

let's get a whole sourcebook going meatball: +1d8 to messiness, double modifier if target is wearing a white shirt tomato slices: on a critical hit, sub explodes and each adjacent target takes 1d4 tomato slice damage toasted: +1d4 bludgeoning damage

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

"Let's take a gander at that license." “I’m so sorry, my partner’s new.” “Fuck you, Mike. It’s a good joke.”

another way to get a free drink from a bartender is to pick a nice nearby spot, show up regularly, tip generously, and don’t be a psycho. you’ll be getting lots of free rounds in no time and, as an added bonus, you are making new friends instead of debasing yourself into a two bit swindler.

I appreciate their enthusiasm, but the group I do a Friday Bible study with pause and everyone says "Amen" after every single line of a prayer, and that's way too much.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

God: Any other requests? Angel: Ooh! Do a cow in sunglasses, holding a cigarette! God: No problem.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

this shifted something. you can't unsee it. "i don't want to get my shots!" why would you? you're twelve. "i want a robot that can draw star wars pictures and do my homework!" well, yeah, what twelve-year-old wouldn't?

This is a REALLY good video that gets into the *specifics* of how AI is degrading our information environment and putting truth further out of reach for the average person / the population as a whole

Hank Green is angry, and his rage gives me hope youtu.be/Vz0oQ0v0W10?...

It's terribly childish, but when everybody started using the phrase President Musk, he got the boot. IJS.

I will never not repost this (Sound on for maximum effect)

Being back in college accommodation has its advantages (I really missed having access to a tumble dryer) but fire alarm testing really isn't one of them

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I want more protest songs that work along the lines of sea shanties. A simple refrain with repetition, easy to memorize. Kinda call-and-response.

The swoletergeist, a weight lifter who is haunting a gym and continuing to do their workouts even in death

Dammit, now the BSAVA has launched an accursed LLM chatbot. "... the AI equivalent of talking to a colleague about a case scenario." Except my colleagues wouldn't charge me for it, and have the experience to back it up. How long until the VDS has to defend somebody who messes up due to genAI?

We should honestly start with the working assumption that the Trump administration murdered these people and buried them in a mass grave. Then, go from there. Make them prove they're alive. If they are, it should be easy to demonstrate.

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

*clears throat* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

No seriously I keep coming back to this kind of spell for TTRPG worlds. I also want "surgical scrub", "wound prep", and a prophylactic version of "cure disease" relatedly, I would totally swear a paladin oath to be able to lay on hands rather than spend the time suturing

who watches the watchmen? well, the clockmaker, duh. he makes watches for everyone, actually. this isn't hard.

No notes

Adobe, I just want to read this pdf about equine rectal tears, I don't need half the screen immediately filled with genAI crap

Am I a fool that my mind is a little blown?

IT Security PSA: Don't use your work account to store personal files. Don't use your work email as a recovery email for personal accounts.

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

Never judge people by their outward appearance. It’s what inside that truly counts! I guess what I’m saying is, you have a very pretty skeleton.

oh my god I want one of these so bad

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: - It’s ‘voilà,’ not ‘wallah!’ - It’s ‘a lot,’ not ‘alot.’ - It’s ‘further ado,’ not ‘farther adieu.’ - It’s ‘flesh out,’ not ‘flush out.’ - It’s ‘sneak peek,’ not ‘sneak peak.’ No worries if not!!!

Discworld QOTD, from Making Money “Plans can break down. You cannot plan the future. Only presumptuous fools plan. The wise man steers.”

the other wrinkle in all these "we're banning porn for UK users!" and "bluesky isn't available in mississippi" stories that no one seems to be talking about: geo-ip is inaccurate as shit, even before VPNs get involved. you can't just detect where people are with any kind of consistency

short about working at the coast guard
