So much of the “promise” of AI right now is saving time creating. Let me say it from my chest: all I want is to spend *more* time creating. I’m not making content. I’m engaging in my vocation, my calling, my literal reason for existing.

Finished my sign. Can’t wait to explain to everyone tomorrow who these weird turtle guys are.

Only things with minds can hallucinate 🙃

Israel attacking now makes Trump's blabbing about it earlier today appear all the more idiotic and reckless. Not only is the Israeli attack blatant aggression, but, if the US is drawn in, the country on a war footing in its current authoritarian stance is a terrifying prospect indeed 😓

As I mentioned before, human memory is associative, and you can tell because look at this image and then close your eyes. Whichever one you saw, maiden or crone, will make certain words easier to hear or read through noise. Because those words have been primed in your associative memory.

Absolute banger of a Tolkien essay here, about the myths and stories that Gondor and Rohan tell about themselves. Check it out!

Even with an intact CDC and FDA, only like 1% of foodbourne outbreaks were ever identified. 1 out of 6 Americans get a foodbourne illness each year, with no identifiable cause. Now? All but the very largest, most severe outbreaks will be just like that.

Fuck, man

😑 yup "Investing in plant and equipment looks like a bad idea given the uncertainty, but investing in bribes for the ruling family clearly yields excellent returns."

You can try the Microsoft just released a Quake 2 demo that runs on genAI. It forgets where you are you each time you look at the floor and soft-locks when it's to dark. A technological marvel. You can try the "Copilot Gaming Experience" here: copilot.microsoft.com/wham

fuck you make me

Guy who tries to be a free-thinkong contrarian but instead of saying the usual Nazi shit he's just constantly ranting about how "dogs aren't like they used to be" and "doesn't anyone remember when dogs used to talk?"

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base! and they want to do it ... ... in *a few months* I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ... ... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here 1/9

"anti-DEI" FFS stop using fascist-hijacked terminology that normalizes bigotry and conflates popular civil rights reforms with half-assed corporate inclusivity initiatives instead try: "resegregation" "attack on civil rights" "harassment of companies for not being racist enough"

Pathetic. Short-sighted. Bad business decision-making. Immoral. Complicit with shift toward a less humane, more authoritarian US government. Why did it happen so fast? Very likely because they wanted to do it.

Oh thanks Amazon. This is helpful information that will surely get me the correct shoes for my feet 🙄

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

We are all clusters of symptoms. And we meet the diagnostic criteria of multitudes.

Some people seem a bit confused so let's talk a moment on what Great Man Theory is, why I think Silver is blundering into it and why it doesn't work. The key thing here is fundamentally it is two propositions that come as a 'package deal' - reject either and it isn't Great Man Theory. 1/

Chumbawumba, I apologize. I was only partially familiar with your game.

The centralization of the regulatory state was both a strength and its great weakness. Powerfully convening of expertise, promoting standardization, excellence, and efficiency, but brutally vulnerable to a handful of dipshits with sledgehammers.

Fun fact: despite very very few people having PhDs, a quarter of all PhDs are children of people with PhDs. Whether from legacy admissions policies or family culture encouraging it, academia is an insular thing.

Neighborhood clouds! I love this idea ledcoyote.com/blog/communi...

Short post on tech, and something I want to build ledcoyote.com/blog/communi...
