I think that's the first time I've gotten an earthquake notice on my phone *before* I felt the shaking.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

Modern execs: "We should stop paying all of the people making our luxury products and have LLMs generate all of the content instead." Also modern execs: "Why isn't anyone buying our luxury products?"

The movie Speed, except instead of a bus it's every car in Orange County, CA, and instead of going too slow, the trigger is pulling front first into a parking spot.

Yea

I miss the days when you could binge a series and get an actual ending, rather than "the story's not over but no more seasons ever got made!"

"Humans won't be needed" would be fine if the same people supported UBI or some other system to ensure a minimum comfortable standard of living for everyone, but that's never part of the same conversation and, besides, it's plainly obvious they would *hate* such a thing.

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

Paying $600 a month 12 months out of the year for insurance that only helps with my $500 a month medication for four months out of the year. Deductibles are stupid.

Also the car only gets .0000001 miles per gallon.

I really want to know how large the Foodie Team was during Monster Hunter Wilds development.

I caught up on Strange New Worlds. My only two complaints are: a) When Kirk is on screen he never sells me on being *the* James T Kirk, just some guy with the same name. And b) Someone *really* wants the Gorn to be xenomorphs and I don't think that really works in Trek.
