Tripped over a thread about people who think it's important that LLMs mean you can be friends, in the social and psychological sense, with your computer. This belief is going to create a very weird social gap between people who believe this and people who know it's not (and can't be) a thing.

Am ersten Tag nach der Eröffnung haben rund 7000 Radler:innen den neuen Velotunnel am Hauptbahnhof Zürich befahren. Nun zügig vorwärts mit der #Velowende!

Bounce House

val kilmer’s turn in TOP SECRET is one of the single best comedy performances ever committed to film, both in terms of comic precision and mechanical virtuosity. just watch this whole clip in its entirety; it’s stunning

Hate hate hate the reduction of Ghibli's output into a vague aesthetic. Even before generative AI, people would talk about "cozy Ghibli vibes" stripped of all context, and now we're seeing where that gets us.

roko's basilisk is stupid because i already get tortured by the computer every day of my life and it's fine. i got used to it.
