unleashing social media on the world at large was like inflicting smallpox on immunologically naive peoples. Only psyches scarred over by endless stupid flamewars on usenet or IRC were truly ready for it

AI om een tekst in Word te schrijven. AI om een sms'je op te stellen. AI om een tekst op een verjaardagskaartje te zetten. Straks een AI die namens mij tegen mijn moeder zegt dat ik van haar hou. Echt, wat zijn we nou allemaal aan het doen joh?

RIP Ron, an icon from a bygone era when whole families still gathered round the telly on a Saturday night. Moordspel, Honeymoonquiz, Showbizzquiz... he did them all. Only the greatest of the good get bothered by Emu.

#boardgames You may already be aware of the rotten luck that has befallen Paul Harris of HandyCon. I won't link to Zuckerbook here, but here's a BBC article and radio interview for context. bbc.com/news/article...

Speaking as a neurodiverse person, this is both the laziest and most offensive reading of the world’s richest sociopath.

It sounds dumb but I think it is genuinely hard to understand: all this incredible reorganization of American society—the subservience of an entire political party, the fracturing of reality/elevation of the most absurd lies, the sheer concept of presidential immunity—all that for THIS fucking guy?

I see today is the 55th anniversary of the first broadcast of the first episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. I’ve probably seen every episode at least 20 times but whenever I rewatch there’ll be something that makes me laugh out loud like I’ve never seen it before.

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider : are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No. but do they enable great things that people want? Also no. but are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no. maybe you're not being negative enough

yeah no we're not opposed to AI because of some skynet bullshit. We're opposed to LLM because it's smoke and mirrors, a grift, a lie, it steals our writing and our art, is being used to kill jobs, is environmentally disastrous and is being forced down our throats.
