When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Less than zero excuse for shilling any ModRetro products now (or ever). Yes, even if you got them for free, just review them or whatever... fuck you.

I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.

Important PSA - if you haven't heard yet, the two new Leisure Suit Larry games by Assemble Entertainment will be delisted on October 23, which is a pity. So before they become lust in time, I really urge you to give them a try. They´re on sale on major platforms and much, muuuch better than...

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Quick shout-out to the guy who was talking to one of our patron services chatbots and calling it "shitbot" and constantly insulting it even after it asked not to, even though, in actual point, we don't use patron service chatbots and the stream of abuse was aimed at an actual person.

How the fuck did they not work out you have to look away from the road to use a touchscreen before putting it in every fucking vehicle?!?

I love how Wild West daytime television was in the 1970s. You could see insane things like Gary Burghoff of M*A*S*H playing the world's largest and slowest pinball machine you have ever seen in your life for the chance to win a lucky member of the studio audience prizes like refrigerators

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

Managed to hunt down two photos of the kitbashed model built by Jim Bowers as reference for the original WipEout game, sometime around 1993 or 1994. You can see the logos on it are harvested from other kits- Toyota and Buick logos, USAF roundels, and more that I'm sure someone else could ID

The peace Conan describes here is what I find so psychotic about Capitalism: The unnatural systemic need for more, growth, bigger, up, is constantly making people feel - mentally and financially - like where they’re at is not what success looks like, even if it’s exactly what makes them happy.

I think about this interview with the distinguished philosopher Conan O'Brien a lot. I actually think this is a healthy way to live your life! www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/a...

The "rogue AI" that is bestowed some world destroying sentience and intelligence, that you keep hearing about, was just doing what it was told to and trained to do. By a person. When LLMs do a thing it's because they've been trained to do that thing, including lie. The rest is marketing and hype

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
