we really need to require these things to list contact info for the person who set them up so the person whose house it runs out of can be told to come get their boy lol

no attachment to neopets but I do love drawing a little guy

Normalcy is dead. What now?

I guess I see your point

sure, but someone had to prompt it to set off to fulfill a goal at some initial point surely? like somebody is using a tool to achieve a desired outcome. I just don't like the anthropomorphizing of these programs

I think it's weird this is being framed as "we're 12 AI agents coordinating park cleanup" and not "we the developers are using AI to create a tool to coordinate park cleanup". Like this isn't an "AI problem" they're just using agents to build software?

Oh it's also the same guy from that video that was going around titled "Hillary Clinton Interviews 100 Year Old French Clown". This has lived in my head for years. RIP

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

going to start referring to all this no-caffeine, omni-spectrum sobriety, celibacy, 996, workout and diet focus stuff as "mormonism with silicon valley characteristics" because it's more polite than calling it "homeschool mindset"

Okay, the New York Times has a very dumb op-ed about the US’s “marijuana problem”. You are completely valid in just dismissing it as fear shit, but I will make a Lil’ Thread of some of the dumb stuff in particular, for the Sickos and Curious. Keep your cool, remember: it’s bad on purpose. Andiamo:

The fact that Bad Bunny's halftime show made white bigots angry and feel excluded is A GOOD THING. It's one of the best things about it. It's not a problem to solve. It's a solution to pursue. Bigots *should* feel excluded. We should find *more* ways to celebrate the reality of USian diversity.

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

A PBS kids post of buster from Arthur with sunglasses on waving with the caption “we always loved a bad bunny”

PBS kids is sending me

honestly respect for the ad that’s just like “pokemon are cool.” they are cool

if you buy this someone should take the rest of your money and give it away

Hiring the guy who torched Tumblr as the Washington Post CEO is one of the more blatant examples of how failure is a feature of the role. Not only can C suite people fuck up on a massive scale with no consequences, there is strategic value in dropping a fuckup into a role like that

Even if you oppose the tax "pro-Billionaires" is an insane position to take. This is like opposing a tax on cigarettes by holding a pro lung cancer rally

A 2 panel sketch disgram of a 1 meter tall pod. in the second panel, an oval section pops off and a demonic little face with short tentacles flies out, crudely drawn.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

can i say something without everyone getting mad at me

ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

It really sucks that Microsoft sunk its claws into so much of the game industry and is attached to a ton of games I wanna play.

What sucks even more is supporting genocide, which is something Microsoft loves doing. I’m very in favor of Microsoft fucking off until it stops loving genocide so much.

the mere mention of Fallout 4 in the nintendo direct unlocked my cursed biennial urge to spend 48 full hours modding it and then 4 hours playing the same opening tutorial slog and stopping after the cognitive dissonance of Boston not being that small irl overwhelms me

Spotlighting The World Factbook as We Bid a Fond Farewell Somewhat devastating news today from the CIA: One of CIA’s oldest and most recognizable intelligence publications, The World Factbook, has sunset. There's not even a hint as to why they …

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!

This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

Confirmed with Burlington PD on scene AND the Malls security service.

Per the Simon Coporation you cannot park at the Burlington Mall if you intend to leave mall property and they intend to tow cars in the future.

Fiancee made banana bread yesterday and basically any time I go to get a piece I hear this tweet in my head in full

An cover of an Animorphs book, edited to show a 1990s Honda Civic transforming into the gen 1 female Nidoran sprite from Pokémon Red and Blue

making this animorphs cover with Nidoran transforming from a 1990s Honda Civic is how I chose to spend my time after @spocksbongwater.bsky.social ‘s Pokémon Red stream yesterday ☺️✨
