This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Since the term AI has been poisoned by generative world-burning stuff, we're going to have to go back to calling video game AI routines "the computer." I couldn't beat the final boss because the computer was being cheap, etc.

Saw this as a post on Facebook, from X. Most of the comments were on how women don’t care if you’re the leader of your friend group, but I’m still stuck on the guy even thinking most friend groups outside of like movies and TV shows have “leaders”.

Calvin's Dad, who didn't own a tape deck or a VCR and wished he didn't have to have a telephone let alone a TV, would not be on social media frankly. People forget how ecoterrorist-coded he was.

On Mass Effect, our love scenes -- soft-lit gentle scenes players got after getting to know their love interest for two-thirds of the game -- got called "virtual orgasmic rape" by Fox News. Nothing is respectable enough. They aren't attacking porn. They're attacking intimacy and openness.

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?" Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

Murderbot thoughts: -Casting is just excellent. -Skarsgard is very little like what I read, but is nearly perfect. -I kind of expected everyone to be saying The Company’s name but MB would bleep it out in real time. -Much funnier than the books to me, or maybe just more obvious given the medium.

My baseline level of anxiety lately has been too high, and the strong winds outside blowing out already-wobbly privacy fence aren’t helping. But going to see friends and watch the first couple of episodes of Murderbot helped a lot.

for those unfamiliar with competitive Pokemon this is the equivalent of if the NBA made guns legal and Lebron James insisted that this was ruining the sport but was forced to use one in order to keep up with the competition and despite his hatred of guns the NBA started out giving Lebron Themed Guns

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
