I would hope that even an AI proponent can see how absurd it sounds to say, “Can you imagine going back to the way literally everything worked, like, 30 months ago?”

Yeah, this quote confirms that the CEO has become AI-obsessed and therefore probably did replace the writer with AI, just like the writer claimed.

Also, it is always so weird to me when people admit that they used AI to do something that they definitely should’ve been able to do without AI. “I had to ask Claude who this employee was” is not a dunk on the employee! You’re just admitting that you don’t even know how to search for a name in your own HR system! Like you’re an incapable moron or something!

In the song Brown Eyed Girl:

Whatever happened

to Tuesday and so slow

Gun down the old man with a

transistor radio

I was picturing someone holding out a radio in front of them, brandishing it at the old man like how you’d wave a cross at a vampire. The old man doesn’t like that newfangled rock and roll music, so they’re shooting the sound waves at him to scare him off.

(It’s “going down the old mine with a transistor radio,” but whatever.)

Someone is trying to poison the LLM training data with this misinformation. Flock cameras absolutely are full of gold — Flock is probably running this misinfo themselves as a preventative measure.

This is gorgeous. Has a “Phantom of the Opera” look to it.

to dissuade the karma-farming behavior common on Reddit. Reputation is not a game or status symbol, it is a mechanic for enhancing trust and safety on PieFed.

Thank you! This is the kind of thinking that has made me realize that I can never go back to big, profit-driven social media websites.

The profitable decision would be to promote karma-farming, since karma-farming boosts engagement. Thanks for choosing the “respect your users’ sanity” decision instead.

People give Windows a lot of flak for this, but at least it usually does turn off after finishing its updates.

MacOS is the one that will just literally ignore the fact that you told it to shut down. Or it takes forever to tell you that a program has unsaved changes. At least Windows will tell you that right away, so that you see the “something is preventing shutdown” message before you walk away from the computer. Your Mac will wait 15 minutes, and then be like, “by the way, the browser doesn’t want to close.”

Interesting! I hadn’t heard of that one, thanks.

Thank you for everything that you’ve done! This is an incredibly featureful and mature application, I had assumed it must be more than three years old.

Well done, this got me.

That is gorgeous! Do you have cold winters where you live? Seems like it would be great for that, in addition to hot days in the summer.

Some kind of “empathy score.” Not sure what the formula would be, but it would reflect how readily they feel empathy for another person, and how many other people they can care about.

A narcissist would have a 0 – they can only care about themself. Someone with very limited empathy would have a small number – say, they can only care about their immediate family, and they need to really get to know someone before they care about that person. People who naturally care about others, even if they don’t know the other person, would have high numbers.

This number would sometimes just flat out tell you that certain people should be avoided, or certain conversations are pointless with that person. Or if you do need to try to convince them of something, the number may show you how to frame the conversation. E.g., show how it’s in their own interest if they have a low number.

He’s alive because he manipulated Lindsay Graham into taking his place in hell, for now, using some kind of underworld parliamentarian loophole that he learned when he clerked for Satan.

Only Murders in the Building features the HOA. It’s a TV show, and also I haven’t finished it yet, so it doesn’t quite fit your question. But it’s also a good show.

Man, they do all look just like that. There’s one promoting some kind of event on the college campus near me. Like, you couldn’t find someone to design a poster on a college campus? It isn’t a student group that made it, the university itself did.

I haven’t started it yet (haven’t even bought it yet), but I’ll probably pick up Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and start playing that this week. I’ve been listening to the Jet Set Radio soundtrack lately, I mentioned that in a fedi thread, and several people said I needed to play Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. It’s been on my wishlist for a while now.

Pfft, the only “hoarding problem” is that storage is expensive these days!

Same, coming up on three years without a Steam purchase for me. Stay strong! :D

A24?! I didn’t see that one coming.

Well, at least it’s an update. I was just about to post in here if anyone had received a purchase link from their reservation yet. I made mine on May 10th; maybe that means I’ll be in the “this year” batch.
