Generative AI is the apotheosis of this process. It's praised for doing better than a human on certain tasks, but those tasks were *made for computer logic* in the first place. The new world will try to convince you that this computer logic is more valuable than your human thought. Defy it.

Naps are, statistically speaking, the best possible action to take in almost any situation. A nap is virtually never a bad idea. I can think of like ten thousand regrets I've had in my life, but taking a nap has literally never even been a part of one of them.

In hindsight, conservatism was never anything more than in-the-closet fascism.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

AITA for referring to breastfeeding as "nature's human centipede?"

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Inside you there are two woffs. Ignore the first woff. You just need the woff2.

I feel the word "unlock" has hit toxic oversaturation in marketing. The video game terminology was fun for a while, but now it's everywhere, and I just don't want to hear about "unlocking" a deal ever again. I didn't even ask for this email; don't make it sound like I have to work for it.

what exactly is "winning the AI race? environmental destruction, labor extraction, ever more intrusive surveillance, mass manipulation, and unprecedented power for the handful???

What's your favorite song about scrubs?

I'm ready for apologies from pundits and politicians who showed their bigoted asses and suggested we needed to abandon trans people in order to win. looks like "fairness in girls' sports" wasn't the unbeatable wedge issue you thought it was, was it? kinda makes you look like a dumbass, huh?

Kia is so dumb for announcing it's Kia Season because you KNOW I’m gonna start huntin' some Sportages.

A dating site, but just for matching introverts with an adoptive extrovert friend

I could probably troll some comps.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

If I had absolutely no idea who or what Cuomo was, I would say this logo gives "B2B software that just got around to implementing a redesign started in 2009 by someone who hasn't worked there in a decade"

One day you're young, the next day you're thinking about what great poops you're having thanks to your new whole grain cereal.

Wild that three Nintendo consoles in a row now have featured Breath of the Wild as arguably their main attraction.

You can tell you're a grizzled old veteran of the internet when you always copy everything you've typed just before hitting the "submit" button, just in case something doesn't work and it disappears.

"Yeah, boss, I ran that aloof wife story just like you asked. ...Aloof wife, yep that's the one! ...What's that? ... LOUVRE HEIST!? Is THAT what you said!? ...Uh, hang on, lemme call you back..."

Added the TypeScript documentation as a dock shortcut, for important professional work reasons.

It's definitely not the worst part of having a newborn, but it *is* annoying that by the time daytime-me is up in the morning, nighttime-me has already done all the puzzles, games, and crosswords for the day.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

The Incredibles movies are underrated.

It seems Fox News is reporting those racist AI generated videos of Black women as actual news People don't hate OpenAI enough

hahahahahaha holy shit they reinvented the junk bonds from ‘08 except it’s fucking data centre leases instead of mortgages to min. wage workers

“‘Tranches’?” [smokes cigarette] “…haven’t heard that term in a while.” — me, last laid off during the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis slash WGA strike

If AI was inevitable they wouldn't have to try so fucking hard to get you to use it.

One of my favorite things about the new Deno Deploy is how tightly databases are integrated into your apps. Instead of just leaving you to manage everything yourself, there's a robust UI for connecting and/or provisioning, along with environment handling and replication for staging, previews, etc.

Life tip: if you think the side quests where you have to deal with international flights are too hard, come back after the story quest where you have to take care of a newborn. Your stats will be so high the planes will seem like nothing.

Oooh a boss fight. I sure hope there's a brief cut scene of the boss getting angry and roaring at me.

"Nobody wants any of this," he said about literally every single thing in the overwhelming multitude of things that were currently happening.

Wrote down some thoughts on the online vs offline tech discourse and building from first principles: marvinh.dev/blog/buildin...

I recently deployed a SvelteKit repo (with SSR) to Deno Deploy. It took less than 30 seconds from zero to URL.

I want a social network that is just 100% artist time lapse videos. I want to scroll for days and never *not* be seeing an artist making something.

I've had this article bookmarked all year. I get to delete it now, but I've never gotten over how dystopian it is that I even felt the need in the first place. You shouldn't have to document incantations to make sure your pregnant wife doesn't die in a red state. www.propublica.org/article/misc...

Our Deploy platform continues to ramp up, and after exploring it for while @philhawksworth.dev has some highlights to share. deno.com/blog/deno-de...
