One of the most disappointing examples of #GenAI I've come across so far has to be the #Apple #Genmoji feature. It refuses to or fails at making MOST prompts. I've maybe gotten 3 emojis out of it with 30+ prompts and those 3 emoji are... not great or what I asked for

Just ate like 3/4 of a can of pringles in one sitting. Can't even label it as an "oops" event because my talent is no accident.

#thestudio has been pretty darn good. Hope more people choose to watch it

When someone reveals they have really niche skill it probably means they spent hours honing that skill. So the next time you hear someone perform a solid SpongeBob impression, respect the time spent and the hustle

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Judge me not for the content of my pictures, but of the content of my character

Brain rot is becoming unsustainable at hackernews. Really too bad.

(in the trash compactor) “pee-you! it stinks!” (leia and tarkin) “oh yeah well it takes one to know one” (han about to jump to light speed) “I’m going to need a vacation FROM this vacation”

Rewatching the original Star Wars and I’m struck by how loose and colloquial so much of the dialogue is

The word is a big place with a lot of things to do, see and experience... which is why I don't trust anyone's taste that's played #GTA for 15+ hours

**Dad 💞💞** **Today 11:59 AM** **WHERE ARE YOU????? YOUR HAMSTER IS STUCK** **What??** **He's climbing the wall** **Has he ever done that?** **Can he get down on his own?** **What??????** **Read 12:01 PM** *(Attached image shows a hamster clinging to a high wall near the ceiling.)*

**Dad 💞💞** **Do I leave him alone?** **He went ninja mode and now he thinks he's unstoppable** **He should be fine** **I'll be back from work in 15 mins** *(Attached image shows a hamster clinging to a high wall near the ceiling, with its enclosure visible below.)*

**He should be fine** **I'll be back from work in 15 mins** *(Attached image shows a hamster clinging to a high corner of a wall, its legs stretched out.)* 😂😂😂😂 **Read 12:03 PM** **Not funny** **Tomorrow I'm going to wake up and he's going to be trying to drive my car** **We don't know what he's capable of**

A close-up image of a black and white hamster clinging to the high corner of a wall. Its legs are stretched wide apart, the hamster appears to be defying gravity.

I can't stop laughing at this (source: imgur.com/gallery/take...)

Ever since the use of "AI" has ramped up in the corp world I've seen a dramatic uptick in garbage marketing emails flooding my work inbox. Double-edged sword scenario: marketers are flooding the market with more emails faster, but I archive even more than before without bothering to read any 🤷‍♂️

Newest #opensource project I'm exploring: @organicmaps.bsky.social, an alt to #applemaps & #googlemaps. So far so good for a public project. Itchin to get Linux back on a device & have completely open source/decentralized laptop but unfortunately ran into some proprietary hardware limits on old MBP

Tried #Lemmy for 6 mo as reddit alt & after trying to like it I deleted my login. Reminded of early reddit w/small communities, but average #fediverse user way more pompous than needed. Lemmy users make me wonder how successful fediverse can get. Still exploring #opensource & #decentralized alts tho

I don't have that dog in me. I have a combination of a pig and a goat and this "poagt" creature will eat itself to death eventually unless someone with self control stops it

Live every day like you're the Ben Affleck meme... oh wait, shit.

Sometimes life rewards with the hidden glove compartment Oreos from over 2 weeks ago

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

WOW.

For now, I'll wade thru dark waters while I discover a next place of growth. I imagine it will involve newer hobbies I've come to enjoy/grow interested in: writing, hiking & woodworking. Craft projects *may* be seen on socials, but keep an eye on my movie blog. Feels like a good time to revive it.

The point I'm heading toward: Maybe it's time to step back from my mostly lifelong web activities. Leave it behind and find something new to grow into. The playground of fun & knowledge I grew up on, the world wide web, feels like Weekend at Bernie's; Lifeless, manipulated, fake and even dangerous.

Not sure how I feel about my presence on the web, in general. Feels less like a playground and more like a weapon being used to target us, whether by disinformation from hate groups/regimes or companies boosting profits via discord. Meta, reddit, even here... Feels like unnecessary noise in life rn

In an odd state right now. Spent much of my life -ever since getting internet- exploring, learning & creating fun on the web. As "online" shrunk to social networks & rampant capitalism infested all areas the fun has been crammed into a dark corner. Online feels stagnant, repetitive & upsetting now.

Everything is so depressing, I spent the weekend reading dystopian fantasy to escape.

Oh hey - there are people on here now that I have physically met in real life.

So as a society, are we ever going to talk about how Pokémon teaches eugenics but in a dog fighting setting?
