it's fucking bad out there. Biden was as bad as a Democrat could be on the issue and fuck him and fuck Harris for being too much of a coward to break with him but it was not this bad.

I'm 40 so when I was a kid, the kits were already around, but rarely any instructions so all of the parts got combined into our own creative monstrosities anyway regardless of what lego originally intended.

There are some interesting things about the technology. Deep dream was super cool. I wonder if we'll see stuff like that again once this gold rush wraps up?

I’d be more willing to give generative AI latitude if it hadn’t (a) constantly failed to live up to its promise (b) illegally and unethically used others’ work for training and (c) was coded and designed by techno fascist dystopians
