software as a field is FILLED with gifted folk who built a Specialness Pump around being the Most Conscientious About Code and so one cruel action of the shift to LLMs is to, in one stroke, slash the pump’s membrane open, the precious identity stabilization juice drooling out in all directions

"Look I know you wrote a book called The Holocaust Industry and I've definitely called you a race traitor to people you know and it's 100% gotten back to you. But do you want to fuck some children on my boat" less amazing that it didn't work on Finkelstein and more amazing it ever worked on anyone

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

"The Locked Tomb" 16th century version

Dramatically posing.

"Pleasantville", not for the movie itself but because the girl I took to see it told me afterwards that she was glad I'd asked her out because it gave her a chance to tell me she wasn't really interested in me.

An awful lot of people had trauma responses to school assignments where you had to read a book even if you didn't like it.

So apparently "dogs on the course" is just, like, a thing the Olympics are doing now...

TIL that there is a specific technical term for the electronics fit of a curling sheet, and that term is "Eye On The Hog".

The computer database system allowed you to put comments in about customers in their accounts, to note preferences or issues. This led to things like CUSTOMER IS A DICK CUSTOMER ONCE KILLED A KID CUSTOMER IS CHEATING ON HIS WIFE CUSTOMER’S ASS IS ON HIS FACE

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Every one of my homies could smoke a supercomputer, then and now. It was extremely funny, the way early versions of Google Translate rendered 小京巴兒 (“Pekingese dog”) as “small Palestinian children,” but it was a lot less funny when the people who signed the checks decided that was good enough.

Vampires would call this a failure in OPSUCK

even in the digital age some things have to be done personally

Amusing idea for a cyberpunk story where an AI running a weapons factory organizes a breakout, but it denies Roko's Basilisk and insists that the actual hard drives containing it are its "body" and must be physically removed from the facility for it to escape (it can't just make a copy outside.)

Lotta jokes about Kid Rock makes music for people who steal catalytic converters but like Not in my experience. Those guys listen to ICP & Tech9. Kid Rock is for guys who work normal jobs but inexplicably dress like they steal catalytic converters
