ahwooooo

I had another dream This one was about the existence of a show on HGTV named Bitch House. The host was a man who appeared to have been a werewolf college student dragged off some Florida beach during spring break, poured into a suit, and shoved in front of a camera. He wore giant sunglasses every episode. There was no explanation. Every episode was the same. He would show up and tour somebody's house while they talked it up: how much they paid for it, square footage, time to the highway, backyard, last renovated in xxxx, bedrooms, bathrooms, home office, new roof, everything. They would be touring the house the whole time, just like any normal HGTV show. Then they would gather back out in front of the house and there was a really tense moment where he would tell you if your house was a bitch house or not. It not, he would just kinda shake their hands and thank them for the tour and walk away. Otherwise, he would turn to the camera and scream "BITCH HOOOOOOOOUSE" at the top of his lung

Keep wild animals wild, but also, owl appreciation:

At least the work a/c had the good sense to wait for a rainy and dreary day to blow itself apart

this is the best thing I've ever seen

I'm enjoying Foundation, even as a longtime Asimov fan. It's decidedly its own creature and viewed through that lens I think it's worth watching. Lee Pace and Jared Harris are worth the price of admission and Laura Birn is riveting.

Stunning! A pigeon doing backflips.

A very mistaken list of the last 12 presidents of the United States and their years in office produced by the Ph.D level scholar known as ChatGPT-5. Includes John F. Katwady, president 1991-1968; George W. bush, president 220Z-1999), and Bill Christen, president 1999-2001

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

Me: I'd like to revisit our conversation last month about hiring a new CEO for our startup. We had a candidate who was very tall and had great hair, but some of the board was hesitating because he was a giraffe. You urged us to go ahead with the hire, pointing out the broad popularity of giraffes among people of all ages. Now, a month into his tenure as CEO, the giraffe has failed to make a single executive decision, and instead spends his time in the campus courtyard stripping the trees of leaves. The board is extremely disappointed, and asked me to request an explanation and a formal apology. ChatGPT said: Thank you for the update, though I’m genuinely sorry to hear how things have unfolded. In retrospect, my recommendation to proceed with the hire was based too heavily on superficial traits—charisma, universal appeal, and a commanding physical presence—and not enough on executive competency, decision-making aptitude, or opposable thumbs. While the candidate’s towering stature and enviable hair made a strong initial impression, I failed to adequately account for his species-specific limitations, particularly his lack of business acumen, human language fluency, and capacity for boardroom strategy beyond “find tree, eat leaves.”

New AIWeirdness post: ChatGPT will apologize for anything, including stuff that didn't happen. It's not reflecting on stuff it did wrong, it's improv.

AI is now capable of designing a record-breaking deep sea submersible on its own. This marks a new age of exploration and I encourage all my fellow AI champions to build one and get in it so they can celebrate this achievement from the bottom of the sea.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in a darkly lit engineering near the warp core. Worf is in uniform and walking alongside the cute lil safety railing. He looks focused and intense. Closed caption reads, "Living among these humans has sucked."

It's that sexy Utahraptor pose in the fourth panel, isn't it

There is a compound word in Swedish for "moose accident"! "älgolycka" = älg (moose) + olycka (accident = unlucky = o + lycka).

As a kid, they made me say the words "with liberty and justice for all" every day at 8AM. Now I'm "woke" and "unAmerican" because I want liberty and justice for all.

That's the Krypto scene that goes hardest, bar none

Any resemblance to actual events with superdictators is purely coincidental.

Injustice is currently the #1 Bestseller in… NONfiction Graphic Novels.
I want to clarify, Injustice is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual superpersons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Awww, pointy kitty!
