  • Thou shalt buy a smart tv or other device that we can pull metrics from and force advertising to.

  • “I do not recall…”

  • Two possibilities:

    Dementia removes verbal “filters.”

    Aging causes atrophy of the brain, particularly the frontal lobes first, and those (like teens who haven’t fully developed myelination of the frontal lobes) are the filters for impulsiveness and risk taking.

    So he says and does stupid shit because the filters are breaking down.

  • Been listening to a lot of breakdowns of intro guitar riffs and synths from ‘80s and some ‘70s music. That shit is still awesome, especially seeing as so much of it was still brand new and experimental with the electronic side. Really hits the nostalgia button hard, though.

  • This looks AI. Inconsistent focus, scale of cats is different, lights on “rig” are inconsistent, where’s all the LAN and power cables? Who builds a bitcoin mine in a weird tunnel?

  • Thoughts and prayers worked so well to stop school shootings. Don’t know why they think more religion will somehow fix things. They always seem to take the shitty idea and just double down harder, like that’ll work.

  • CEO: has lunch and answers a phone call. “I’m working!” Writes a proposal from a yacht “I’m working!” Goes golfing with industry buddies. “I’m working!” Paid tens of millions not including stock options. Spends time in the c-suite. Actually is working. Writes a letter about his cubicle slaves who are chained to their cubicle at work, their phone at home, unable to actually use PTO due to fear of negative performance reviews, working 50+ hours on the clock and uncounted hours off the clock “You need to work more!!” With their pay and benefits constantly under assault by managers.

  • Yes, it does. But it would be higher at the 45°’s and not in your face. We planned a grid on the compass one way, it would have been no more difficult the other way.

  • Yeah. City roads should have been planned on the 45°, not the cardinal compass directions. Would have prevented this and saved lives. The sun would be higher and not be in your face as much.

    Edit: the earth is round. I apologize for my mid-latitude chauvinism. Adjust angles per lattitude.

  • Exceptionalism.

    The kind that says “I’m special, but you aren’t”

    The kind that lets billionaires exist and fuck with national politics and laws. The kind that lets rich people or corporations off of crimes with little or no punishment. The kind that lets a religious person use their religion to be shitty in any way, as a shield or a cudgel. The kind that lets someone festoon their pickup with LED lights and a squat so you’re blinded at night when they’re coming at you or tailgating you.

    All of them think they’re special and the rules don’t apply, they don’t care how it affects those around them - or others are to be exploited.

  • Well there you have it. It’s not the dev’s fault, it’s the AI’s fault. Just like they’d throw any other employee under the bus, even if it’s one they created.

  • With a really low first, yeah that works. As long as you didn't have a load.

  • She didn’t check the cited source.

    Edit: it’s really going to fall apart when wrong AI cites wrong AI citing a wrong source.

  • Not bad. Doing a potluck Thanksgiving. I got dessert covered. Two cheesecakes (one Basque). I decided to try making the “Pompion Pie” recipe from Tasting History and we’ll see how that goes over. And some apple cider donuts, some with a pumpkin cream cheese frosting.

    Figure that’ll sugar everyone up good.

  • Oh, I don’t doubt that. I’m an amateur “chef” or at least a cooking enthusiast. I’ve had to ask for more help checking flavors as I’ve gotten older. But those soups have deteriorated in quality faster than my taste buds.

  • Man I’m so tired of these skyrocketing prices over everything. Memory, GPUs, car parts, groceries, insurance… fuck. Eating us alive.

  • Was wondering if it was just me. I used to remember the chicken noodle being salty AF but not awful, and now it tastes more like the can it came in. Pretty bad.

  • Hah, those things loaded up off the line pretty much no matter what. Took some skill to not have it jerk a couple times.

  • Keep ignoring the facts I present and making up stories about other’s intent.
