Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

C really is the worst letter in English. All it does is ambiguate between s and k.

Fandom is rotten as a concept, man. I understand it helps a lot of people who struggle with socializing to find community, but I think it's pretty clear the end result is the very difficult to reverse enmeshment of individual identity with corporate property.

I think the thing that sums up "conspiracy theorists" as a collective is the post on /r/conspiracy that suggested the cops planted evidence on Luigi Mangione getting downvoted because "cops never plant evidence"

Dan's annual highlights of appealing game animation is a powerful reminder of the spark of life that even a little bit of animation intent can bring to an experience. And the care he puts into highlighting hidden gems is a gift. Just like Dan himself.

the most fascinating but predictable response to this piece is racists that want to believe japanese people will agree with their bullshit politics are now trying to decide which japanese voices are and aren't legitimate. seeing them say 4gamer is illegitimate and in the pocket of the west is nuts.

The world's overdue for a decent religion, but humans will ALWAYS fuck things up. I envisage new post-singularitarian religions looking something like this: (NB: this is NOT the nastiest cult in the space opera I'm working on.)
