I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

Just meant to type "crowd-sourced" to a friend, but wrote "crow-sourced". Something to think about.

Applying tinting to my windows so I can reduce the rendering cost to Society. Everyone do your part.

I got the bigger iPhone to get the wide angle zoom, but now my pocket prolapses every time I pull it out. This is problematic.

I have no idea what mild-mannered James Joyce looks like without his glasses.

Asking for us all, but does The Louvre contain The Friends We Found Along The Way?

Insanely irresponsible for the Citizen App to use the knife icon as default because 1) throwing trash is nothingburger, and the icon choice treats extreme fear as the correct response 2) I got excited to hear about throwing knife man and was disappointed.

I’m going straight to a vampire LARP after the socialist tech worker meeting and I will need to be in costume as an Ancient Elder. So I hope that anyone really feeling the vibes are off asks me what’s up.

Overheard: “Dude, joke don’t about that! I have incest in my bloodline.”

Come see my talk on Productivity for Async Teams!

My @theonion.com physical subscription lapsed because I got a new card, and they included this in my last issue

Just landed back in NYC (which is in the USA) after a month in London. What did I miss? Is there still a government?

What if we make the immersive VR Brooklyn mirage mirage experience

Are there more clowns or have my functions become more clown-adjacent?

Who Slops the Sloppers?

Someone just gave me two slices of toast and I referred to it spontaneously as a Control Group Sandwich and I think that works?

The Seattle transit system announcer voice says “doors to my right”, not the more conventional “doors on my right”. A strange degree of implied embodiment.

Regrettably, I have found a new schema to arrange my bookshelf in [Absolute Cinema splayed hands]

I think the only correct computer program to start with first is COLOSSAL CAVE ADVENTURE

LARP prep

Apparently there’s a regulatory effort called the “European Union Artificial Intelligence Act” and I’m at an event where someone is saying “EUAI Act”, just ramming all those vowels together and it’s incredible.

20% of my neurons are engaged, without my control, in coming up with names for projects.

My doors look like this [push plate] So her hands can look like this [velociraptor claws]

new tech thing after AI should be orbs

In my will, I thought I’d write: 1. Yes, you may use an LLM on my text corpus after my death 2. You may not make an agent that claims to be answering questions on my behalf. The agent may only help query the corpus But now I must add: 3. You may not yassify the agent.

Not enough implementation of Chekhov’s Gun use a skateboard mounted over the mantle.

The Long Tail is always THICC where it matters

In summer I’m likely to bike more, since I’m already disastrously sweaty just by standing still. Rational models of economics cannot predict this.

I need a McKenzie Wark-like anthropological analysis of karaoke places. They’re all so different, yet it always feels like I’m stepping into another sub-room of the same multiversal megapub.

I found a use as a writer for ChatGPT. I gave it my manuscript and asked it to write an additional chapter, which I read, and am using to clear out some of the predictability of the real parts. I thought I might pinch a few lines from the Chat version but nah.

it's crazy that you can be a writer for the new york times and not know who the current mayor of new york city is or the current budget of the NYPD, who despite a constant presence in the area failed to intercept a man walking around with a GIANT FUCKING LONG GUN

Random acts of Waluigiing are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy

Was the Declaration of Independence an early example of “Ignore Previous Instructions”?

What if I said I was working on smartglasses, but if you asked for more info it turned out I’m pint glasses with a sphincter on top that closed if an AI thought you were too drunk.

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

If I bring my own particles to the collider is there like a quarking fee?
