Wow. That’s a ridiculous jump. Yeah… I don’t play MP, or really any console games at this point, so I’ll be dropping game pass. I’ve been a subscriber for over a decade and this jump feels like a slap in the face.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Been sitting on this idea for a while: “brat” but in Latin and Ancient Greek. #ClassicsBlueSky #AncientBlueSky

There is absolutely zero reason to continue stalking and harassing me. Life can be so much better for you than what you’re choosing to make of it by surrounding yourself with hatred and vitriol. I hope you see that someday, and get the psychiatric help you so desperately need.

Hey siri, how do I summon Lucanis Dellamorte to the real world?

Happy *quiet, chill* Pride.

FUCK YEAH

sometimes the right thing to do is unrewarding, uncomfortable, and unsatisfying

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

This edit was sitting in my brain for years.

A friend: Chat on email or DMs A good friend: Meet for meals or coffee A very good friend: Join the groupchat Best friend: Help you move Super bed friend: Help you move bodies Soulmate: Talk to you willingly on the phone

The ONE THING people with large audiences refuse to do to fight fascism is stop publishing on Substack. People are starting to publish on Substack—this month—because Substack keeps paying people to ignore their own moral center. You can’t fight fascism in a Nazi bar. You. Just. Fucking. Can’t.

There is more evidence behind the claim "JD Vance killed the pope" than there is behind the claim that any of the people renditioned to the slave camp in El Salvador are gang members.

The Pope literally used one of his last moments on Earth to scold JD Vance for his unchristian policies towards migrants and refugees. This lapsed catholic appreciates that more than I can verbalize. The people running our country are evil.

ill remove you. block you unfriend you.

It's Friday. We made it. Pour a bottle of champagne down your throat, eat something that will take years off your life, sleep like the dead, and maybe set some fires in your backyard. As a treat. You made it, you beautiful bastard, and you deserve to celebrate it.

"Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me."

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity. What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.
