All the "s"s do look very similar.

This person isn’t one of my usual YT watches, but I really enjoyed this overview of The Crow related media. I had no idea the series ran so deep, or had so much nasty Weinstein influence.

Its a shame, there’s so much potential in this series that our media apparatus is systematically incapable of making good on.

I keep seeing this reported, and it does suck, but also… can you imagine how insane a LinkedIn AI is going to be? Like, do they really need help filling that site with lunatic C-suite rambling?

At last, we’ve achieved the AI dream: a text-generator that cranks out hustle culture aphorisms, motivational poster quotes, and lies about it’s resume in a way imperceptible from a real human!

Ok but it does seem like people drive way worse now than just a few years ago. I have theories though.

Theory 1: Existential dread. People are so beat down by climate, endless war, failing economy, and more that they’ve gone completely insane.

Theory 2: Long covid brain.

It’ll have no trouble meeting my expectations, because I expect that Bethesda today can’t make a good game so I expect it to be shiiiiiiit!

But also, fuck Bethesda and this “lower your expectations” bullshit. No Todd, it isn’t impossible to please your fans. No Todd, it isn’t impossible to make a good AAA game. No Todd, it isn’t a burden or a problem to have millions of fans who have high expectations for you.

If you can’t cut it, fucking quit and hand the reins over to someone with fresh ideas, someone who’s still hungry and still wants to make good things.

Shouldn’t the red dots be more like red lines along the border? Can I get a ref from !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee in here?

Yeah its super easy now: did your result come from Google? Then AI had a digital hand in it.

I guess the “prize” of destroying human labor costs is big enough to justify any bet on it, no matter how long, but I just wish it would actually ruin some of these shitty companies; instead it’s going to ruin thousands of workers’ lives and eventually result in massive government subsidies to bail out their losses.

I dunno, I think John K managed the worst of both worlds.

That’s why I put <BAD SERIES> on, then I’m never tempted to stop and watch.

It is a place where you drive, to your job

Why wait? Those horny, gym-rat twinks are out there waiting for you right now!

In Alejandro Jodorowsky’s concept for a Dune film from the early 1970s, each house has their costumes and architecture designed by a contemporary artist. Giger was the designer for the Harkonnen, and several of his ideas persisted beyond the failed film.

The Harkonnen Castle

A Harkonnen chair

I assumed Villeneuve was calling back to those designs.

Next up, the Koch snowflake that asymptotically approaches a Hausdorff dimension of (log 4 / log 3) with each post

But what about the unlined, non-equilateral triangles that I can draw between any 3 arbitrary points in the given plane? Did you count those triangles!?!

I figured he was talking about Searle’s Chinese room thought experiment. Searle sucks though, so that’s probably also racist (in addition to being stupid.)

This is especially funny because I think there’s only 7 positions on a typical trombone anyway, and unless you have godlike lips can only hit 3 or 4 octaves across those. i played trombone through high school and it’s like the easiest instrument, haha.

Former president and current chair of the face-eating leopard party shocked at the amount of hungry cats patrolling around their mansion.

People in times of desperate oppression and violence rarely turn to the uncaring vastness of the chaotic universe for comfort.
