If boosters suddenly want a nuanced conversation about "AI" why did they put that label on anything having to do with a computer

Iran threatens ‘complete and utter annihilation’ of OpenAI's $30B Stargate AI data center in Abu Dhabi — regime posts video with satellite imagery of ChatGPT-maker's premier 1GW data center

I have no sense for how much Claude code is actually affecting the software people use but from a PR perspective it’s so funny that people have a convenient scapegoat whenever a website breaks

I’ve never met a bookie

If you think of a “bookie” in your minds eye what kind of hat is he wearing

How does polymarket work

Yeah I’m poly. Polymarket guy

Did you watch that fungus documentary that has a scene with Paul Stamets rocking out to Skrillex in his car

Wait did that cormorant get out of the aviary

If you like metalcore you should check out a band called Converge

Got 45 emails because someone added my email address to google payments for someone else? What is the scam here

Not enough people saying Laika

It’s missing a “secure the perimeter”

ALL GOO, NO EGG

My encounter with Caliban and the Witch was provoked by students citing it. In my experience, once you find somebody using fake quotations, it's best to avoid them ever after. Sometimes that's easier said than done

holy shit WE’VE GOT THE JUICE

To be fair, he criticized the show for this story arc. He didn't go after Murphy Brown herself, since she didn't exist.
