is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

I should add that this was in the context of an actual real video game company making an actual AI storytelling product - the people running it could understand the idea of "generating text" but had no idea what a story was. I think the company has pivoted away from AI storytelling now

they don't understand that AI (as it exists now) could create a never-ending series of events, but it couldn't create stakes, tension, interesting dynamics between characters that change over time, well-set-up/satisfying twists etc. (any of the things that made Game of Thrones interesting)

A tech person talking to me about AI interactive storytelling had some pitch like "imagine you could play a Game of Thrones story but Ned Stark doesn't die"-- that was the inciting moment of a story. there is not a story without that. it's no longer a story. that's not how stories work

I've been to Boston once since then, but I feel like, spiritually, I've never really BEEN to Boston

this is kind of like that story where the guy from jamiroquai got so mad at winona ryder for being horny that he continued to be the guy from jamiroquai

be careful out there. if you see a deal that seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Somehow when there’s a really stupid plot development in a really stupid TV show it’s even more disappointing… cmon show I’m already giving you all I’ve got. It can’t be all on me to hold this relationship together

life gets better and better every day until about 42 years old, when every moment of life is nearly unbearable ecstasy, and then it still keeps getting better from there somehow

The funniest thing about this is how legit terrified ICE looks.

ugh i just paid $72,000 for a medbed and TWO DAYS LATER apple announces a new one that also accumulates orgone

CARTER "BRONCO" MCCAY: Hammerhead stall like that-- you got some real balls on you!
NEW SQUADMATE: [removes helmet]

If you can get in a line like "I was expecting someone... different" then you're really cooking... the crowd goes nuts every single time

I think a plot device that should get used a lot more is when someone unseen has a gender-ambiguous name and then a character is really surprised when they meet the person. "Jesse-- you're a WOMAN?" etc. This has thrilled and delighted audiences for decades and is always a welcome treat.

i'm always going to click any headline i see about this band because i'm ALWAYS in the mood to read this guy's name one more time

I desperately need people in the media to understand that this is obviously not a creative achievement but it’s also not a technological achievement of any kind. This is ten minutes of work with free open source shit on a home computer

the logos inside were even more offensive

YouTube video by CampLoVEVO Camp Lo - Coolie High (Official HD Video)

fully acknowledging that list-griping is the lowest form of music discourse, but maybe they could have knocked Waka Flocka Flame, best known for being terrible, off the #92 spot for this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3nA...

I enjoyed Pitchfork's 100 Best Rap Albums list but I was reading through it going "wow I guess they're putting Camp Lo pretty high on the list" and then even when I got to the very end I was still like "oh my god, these absolute legends are putting Camp Lo at #1"

Why did he do that. The intrusive thoughts won

when i drop my nuggets into medbed and it turn into chickens!

i used it a lot at twitch and it's very easy-to-use for simple stuff but also incredibly half-baked in very important ways. you'd have to pop the hood and get into the API for the simplest stuff sometimes

« What's the best concert you've ever been to? Curtis Mayfield at the Wingate Concert Series. At that concert there was a rainstorm and the lights fell on Curtis Mayfield and they actually paralyzed him at that concert. He died a few years ago, but it was an amazing concert before that happened. Just so unfortunate. »

With Eric Adams dropping out, let’s remember the craziest low-stake moment of his time in the spotlight: when he named the concert where Curtis Mayfield was paralyzed *before* getting to sing a note as the best concert he’s ever been to.

From a 2021 Vanity Fair interview:

One cool thing about Baby Steps is around 10 hours into it I guarantee you’ll have the thought “this is how walking should work in all games”

when i want to reaffirm the universal value of life, my two go-tos are definitely "ai" and "brand campaign"

(panel 1 - Title above Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries in tracksuits holding paddles.) Democratic Defense with Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries paddles, "FECK" "LESS" (panel 2 - Jeffries attempting to punch a ream of papers held by Schumer.) Schumer, "Nothing can get through these reams of STERNLY WORDED LETTERS." Jeffries, "Hope I don't get a paper cut!" (panel 3 - Jeffries texting.) Jeffries, "Memorize a few million numbers to text in an emergency." text, "HELP! We're in a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS! Click here to DONATE." (panel 4 - Schumer shaking his head.) Schumer, "Subtly shake your head in disapproval while providing UNANIMOUS CONSENT to the latest atrocity." (panel 5 - Jeffries bowing while a foot kicks his butt.) Jeffries, "while they're kicking your ass, show deference to your opponent with a BIPARTISAN BOW." (panel 6 - Schumer cowering.) Schumer, "When CONSTITUENTS demand you start acting like a real OPPOSITION PARTY, use the COWARD's COWER. Please don't primary me!"

Here's a thought.

Fuck these guys.

it’s just wet scrambled eggs up there
