My parents in Texas said they read a good book on AI and they'd send it to me

Timeless advice

When styles from 2017 are looking noticeably dated

My uncle is a really good lead guitarist who is in a band with the Aerosmith drummer and was invited to play with Foghat

I mistook "allowed" for "aloud" and was accused of being homophonic

I want to go to a tech conference and assert I'm a trans-HUMANT-ist (not trans-HUMAN-ist). Sorry guys, I'm not interested in enhancing humans, just being a nomad and herding goats.

I wish I could just capture all of my favorite moots still on X and bring them here

Reasons to date: ❌ Companionship ❌ Intimacy ✅ Finding someone who can accurately tell you the ways you're screwed up

Unlike the masturbatory fever dream of Roko, this one already exists. It’s here now. It’s simple: You must strip cost, friction, and redundancy now, or you lose to someone who will.

sloptimization: solve just enough of the problem that the output is usable for its context class

Godspeed You! Slack Emperor

Never argue with a defensive lineman. He'll never take accountability for ANYTHING.

Idea: make a podcast with friends but don't publish or even record it

😶

This sounds like a Goo Goo Dolls song lyric > You can't fight the fish that ain't comin' > Can't ye see the world where you stand > When everything looks like the white whale > I just want you to know I'm Ahab

Found this old video of my dog listening to me play piano. I swear to God she's enjoying it and even waiting for the chord to resolve at the end.

"No updates from my end"

The world is an overstuffed toy box and we are spoiled children too jaded to appreciate the toys

Who wore it better?

We see so many terrible reddit posts about relationships. Here's a fantastic one (on love).

Foreign adversaries worried that Bluesky is not well suited to corrupt the minds of our youth

The craziest thing about meditation is you'll just be about your day and realize happiness is just an internal state you can visit whenever you want, and your problems spring from the poorly fitting role you're playing which can easily be discarded

"This social media site is an echo chamber" is a separate issue from"this social media site is a battlefield." I would like to see a site that is neither an echo chamber nor a battlefield, but X is doing is a worse job than any other site I've been on because it boosts controversy.

This is about Twitter refugees, isn't it?

They're offering a very low price

Briefly logged into X and almost QT'd Andrew Tate within five minutes. Deleted, logged out, locked myself out of it. The site is pure brain poison now.

I've been listening to an audiobook during my commute and gym time, and I've been learning so much: for instance, did you know consummate is pronounced con-SUM-mit? And winding is pronounced wend-ing? Just kidding, they're not, but the audiobook thinks they are.

Your space is an echo chamber My space is a resonance chamber

Putting on my elderly dad's glasses automatically qualifies me to appear in a Built to Spill or Pavement documentary

I'm as liberal as the rest of you but it seems pretty obvious they're building a network of resist lib shill accounts on here

new level of running unlocked

It might seem like people are coming to Bluesky for only partisan reasons but I feel it's so much more than that. I feel like every fourth post on X has a deeply curséd subtext. Like they're trying to twist the knife into to the passing reader.

My tweets alone are a firehose for researchers, psychologists and mental health professionals

Guys: can I make it to 3000 followers by tomorrow?

This is not a poll 1️⃣ Yes 2️⃣ No 3️⃣ Maybe 4️⃣ So 📊 Show results

Is there a German word for "learning someone's life story involuntarily by overhearing it in an open office"?

"Cadillac money" rolls so much better off the tongue

Do you like to stick to yourself or do you have an interiority complex?

People rate AI-generated poetry more highly because they consider THIS kind of slop to be good poetry

The Sky is falling

I bet the guy who invented the word "bombogenesis" for bomb cyclones just went around saying it every chance he got to look cool. Bombogenesis this, bombogenesis that, etc. etc.

Ordering things online used to be a novelty. Now, going into a department store and being able to interact with the products you're going to buy is a novelty.

I want to study shape puzzles for a several months, improve my IQ by 30 points, and send a picture of my official results to people on the internet as an elaborate way of telling them their fixation on it is dumb

I love it when people talk about the IQ of historical figures. Sure, they may have changed the course of history, but how good were they at what counts: shape puzzles?

When can we stop referring to "free speech advocate Elon Musk" and start referring to "noted state propagandist Elon Musk"?

Sure, but if the people you refuse to tolerate expands to constitute a third of the country then the only workable system of government is a dictatorship -- and maybe one supported by that third of the country

New bumper sticker

New baby in the house 💕

I've seen people criticize tpot for including conservatives. I'm a liberal myself, but once people stop trying to resolve conflicts with words they start resorting to violence. You can try to reason with people, you can try to fight them, but you can't just pretend they don't exist.

Elon Musk's grand vision is to cultivate a community on X that will train the world's greatest insult robot
