They wanted to make Dilla but instead made Doopies and I think that’s Wonderful Actually.

Can we get the bot admins to make a bot that just tells people when they are interacting with an influence bot on a current events thread?

A group of 25 Fields Medalists, including myself, have made a joint declaration on Math and AI: mathandai.org . We welcome additional signatories. See also this article in the Economist announcing the declaration: www.economist.com/science-and-...

LLM text generation, in general, is going to give the entire world banner blindness for written language. In many ways today's LLM business is an anti-literacy project.

The Pebble Time 2 is such a better smartwatch than the expensive first party ones it blows my extremely jaded mind. It's really just so good. And it's cheap! You can write your own apps! You can actually make your own watch faces! You can modify and recompile the entire OS!

One consequence of the "AGI" project is the creation of new systems of belief to resolve the problem that we can't prove if intelligence exists or not. People will rely on faith. Either that intelligence was born or that it wasn't. Absent reality shattering phenomena, it's all we can do.

I'm going to make an office management video game that includes every single item in the uline catalog

How much of the "Breath of the Wild" soundtrack is actually "Ryuichi Sakamoto - Thousand Knives"

it is racial discrimination to try ensure that the representation of a minority group is roughly in line with its proportion of the state’s population. it is equal protection to allow a state to obliterate a minority group’s representation.

You should be able to hit a discogs listing priced well above historical data with a casual "lol" that sits beside it in the listing as a playful expression of private grief and public warning. "Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy Vinyls" lol

LLM as a judge. LLM as a jury. LLM as an

I'm so happy we're doing basic high school solipsism arguing again but because computers this time wow

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Hyperpop, is in fact, Bubblegum/Bass, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Bubblegum plus Bass.

I know it’s annoying that I constantly ask people to sub, but subbing makes a huge difference. @aftermath.site has around 5,000 paying subs right now; most of us still work other jobs on the side. we have over 90k bluesky followers. if a fraction subscribed, it would literally change our lives

The "aliveness" of an AI product is inversely proportional to the marketing. "It's alive now, remember to be nice" no it's super not alive but it's really valuable to us that you think it is. "No moron it's just a machine" it's super alive and they need you to look away. We're at the former.

You know games are art when we are doing the same takes about them as we still do about films. "It's evil filth" "No it's brave and challenging art" "It's not much different than a bad student film that gratuitously pantomimes transgression" It's got all the normal takes. What's new?

Pretend to make God. Get all the money. Buy every computer. Pivot to owning every computer and charging rent.

MS NOW is such a funny rebrand. I almost can't believe it stands for "my source news opinions world" How is it possible. What's less funny is why they have to rebrand this way. That's a lot less funny.

Not recommended for persons sensitive to caffeine.... But if you're not you're honestly gonna have a great time.

Poblanos should be hot. Sometimes they are not. This is the thought I got.

Uh oh

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Google, you were right. I DID want you to forcibly add YouTube music playback to the Android alarm clock. Thanks for that. And thanks for updating my alarms to play YouTube music. And thanks for deciding you should prioritize play count. You chose ambient tracks designed to help dogs stay asleep.

I was trying to remember who played Frederick Douglass in "Lincoln". I had a vague memory he's in it briefly. Turns out he's not portrayed at all, and it's weird! People thought it was weird at the time it was released also! Also originally the screenplay was entirely about their friendship?

🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.

Max becomes HBO Max this summer. Is HBO Max different from Max? Do I have to do anything as a Max subscriber? Will there be any price or plan changes for current subscribers? Will my Max account, profiles, or settings change?

Yeah man I'm OLD: Ornery Loud Deliberately expressing bad ideas

"There are always more, the next one is just around the corner." "There's only one. This is it."

Maybe if we put the Gemini button next to every single UI control in the entire OS, then we can demonstrate to investors increasing usage, and to tech press the inevitability of our total disintermediation of interactivity.
