What kind of fucking idiot builds this sort of thing and doesn't understand the copyright ramifications? JFC

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

If you believe there’s crime in DC, Portland, or Chicago that warrants federal forces, you’re a fucking idiot.

Shark fact:

Most "great" white sharks are actually mediocre. They're just extremely confident.

Sorry but you actually can’t hold me accountable because the computer did all that bad stuff. Unrelated, the computer is now alive.

The most frustrating thing about being in my 40s is seeing disingenuous shit coming around again and again and every time it's treated with credulity. Every right wing talking point and moral panic is the same template as the previous and every time it's taken with a straight face.

how many of them were talking shit about your moderating decisions

Abelard is my favorite guy, it's been exciting that he's got to be in the spotlight so much in Wicked Problems.

If I were a social media CEO, I'd simply thank trans furries for making my network appealing and then shut the fuck up

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Little known fact: cats actually have 2 brain cells of equal acuity: one controls their tail and the other the rest of their body

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

This is at least the third time I have seen a site blow up because their user base isn't what they imagined. Your only option is to accept this or hand management over to someone who can. You cannot change how people use a place once culture is set, you can only destroy it.

Wild given that so much "period" media people are familiar with is set then.

For context, the Edo period ran from 1603 to 1868, or ~265 years. In other words, it ran for longer than the United States of America has ever been a country. The US's life as a country won't surpass the length of the Edo period until 2042!

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

But hey, the girls are -finally- home.

A giant badass lady who will 100% kill you vs a slightly less giant badass lady who is only 15% likely to kill you.

Being a columnist is so cool. You can have absolutely no experience whatsoever and still drop whatever takes you want. Serve in the military? No? Work in natsec? No? Have an academic background in defense? No? Have any government experience at all? No?

Who cares! Fire that column off anyways!

Everything else in the game is great though, you should still play it.

Were it any other studio I'd think it was a last minute rewrite. As it is, I think it's a rare miss for Supergiant.

Hades 2 ending discourse time, no spoilers: I don't have a problem with what happened, so much as it felt abrupt and unearned. In the first game there was loads of leadup and discovery leading to the reconciliation. This was a cutscene with next to no setup.
