People will say it’s bad that Mayer couldn’t answer this herself, and they’re right. They’ll say it’s bad she asked AI, and they’re right. But I am here to say that it’s bad that she looked at this wack ass output and called it “perfect”

Not “that gives me a place to start.” Not “that’s terrible, do you know anything about my daughter?” Not even “eh, good enough, it’s Miller time.” She thought it was perfect

if you are a business using AI in your marketing, allow me to recommend the deft maneuver of clarifying that you mean Assistive Intelligence, intended to augment living human activity

this is sadly "old news" to those of us who live outside of Silicon Valley but visit often. see also: Burning Man. (not ALL burners)

Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.

btw, since you asked in your last correspondence... Also I visited an O'Reilly Auto Parts store on South Broadway recently! They had a gumball machine, but I didn't have time for that nonsense. Now I must go do penzance. For my sins.

these skeets are highly relevant to my interests. (and my personal algorithms)

Music playlist assembling algorithms always had the hardest time determining what I want to listen to if I begin with They Might Be Giants - most of the bands considered to be "similar" to them are missing what I actually enjoy about TMBG. But damn YouTube Music finally cracked me.

hope you enjoy my forthcoming iPhone Duo app, Hot Dog Bun, that looks like a hot dog bun and lets you apply condiments so you can eat a hot dog out of the Duo. The front screen means that you can even make a proper Chicago Dog since you can correctly portray the poppyseed bun

i'm ideating on something about how Reacher is lauded as something like the synthesis of Homer Simpson and a composite of characters from The Wire, but i don't actually watch the show, and assembled this mostly from @rincewind.run posting about Large Man

i spent time with family yesterday where they were watching reacher and no offense to my oomfies who have hyped it up but for every minute of that time i was internally wanting to scream. my escape was ostensible plans to go dancing which instead turned into "do we wanna get cozy and watch the wire"

"Don't stay on twitter so long you stop believing in sunscreen" sounds like an idiom people 200 years in the future will be using but won't remember what it means
