If you're thinking you haven't seen me for a while it's because I'm @learninglaser.bsky.social now! Just as coherently brilliant and a bit more disconnected from real name.

You know who's cool? @learninglaser.bsky.social I've got a good feeling about that guy

Times pass, seasons change, careers advance, and people want to have fun where random resumes won't necessarily lead to their main social media! Moving to a new account in subsequent sküt, follow if you want more me!

In minutes, MERE MINUTES, @blarkytopia.bsky.social will fire up his twitch stream again playing video games for Trans Lifeline. Every time he dies in a game, he spins the Wheel of Morality to see what game he plays next (you can see the list when you click the link). Also, there is whiskey.

IT'S ON! The first spin of the Wheel of Morality has declared he will be playing Satisfactory. Begin the countdown until his first death and drink.

Only a Carpathian would come back *now* and choose a Munich art gallery.

When the space pilot's computer is malfunctioning, if you pause the movie this is what you see

Saw sunshine out the window as my kid ate their breakfast, dashed out to hang laundry, I'm getting more middle-aged by the second and it's wonderful.

Why is Google playing Brewster's Functions

Scoring SSS times on every track

I have two monitors and every single time I turn the side one off I remember Cypher from the Matrix

Just won the feline lottery! (Cats didn't pee outside their litterboxes last night)

Visual summary of NASA's latest achievement

Forced to update my ereader and now it works better and faster. I'd forgotten updates could do that.

Chesterton's Hedge

Twilight Zone where every exec pushing AI wakes up in a world where everyone responds to them in GPTese.

"A large language model could write that faster!" Yeah and a garbage disposal could deal with this doughnut faster, I'm still going to eat it myself.

There's a band called I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME and thank god they're great because I'd have to love them anyway youtu.be/hXzPxBhhmY8?...

Hey #philsci if someone wanted a good survey of the current state of the field, what book would they read? Thanks

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only Steve

Phil is the opposite of an LLM: he thinks and understands a lot, he'll give you useful info, and most corporations don't want him anywhere near their internal processes

Even *good* Red Dwarf lasted longer than the Confederacy!
