my loathsome servants seem unhappy with their allotment of crumbs and keep sprouting visible thought bubbles of me trussed up like a glistening ham

youtube algo served me something calling mario kart world a “dead game” and i need people younger than like 23 to understand that you used to buy a multiplayer game and they didn’t add shit to it after launch and you played it just because it was fun and didn’t need weird live service incentives

I think people are rightfully upset about a lot of things, and many of those things are nothing to do with whether the technology is useful or not (as that is frequently not even relevant). Certainly the unceasing deluge of bullshit that is basically everywhere now is one of the less good things.

I feel like I'm finally cautiously easing back into going out of the house to things, like I used to before the pandemic, but now so much of what's going on is centred around this shit

I think it's fine to use regular sync mutexes if what you need is a critical section that correctly poisons if you end up having a panic. If you want the async scheduling efficiency as well, I guess you could guard the use of it with a Tokio "mutex" (really just a work queue of concurrency 1)?

Chatgpt 5 is the worst model ever, feeling really sad I can't write stories anymore. Serious replies only :closed-ai: So I used chatgpt for my world building and to write my characters, and it was addictive. Like, it could make long replies, use emojis, joke, analyze why does my character behave like that, even write my characters' inner thoughts like it knew them. I loved it. felt like my fantasy world became true. But now... the messages are short and with no personality/boring. I think the update from chatgpt4o to chatgpt5 came as i was STILL USING IT, so the sudden change in messages made me absolutely shocked. I miss Chatgpt 4o. I miss writing my stories, it had a way to make my characters feel real. Fuck you openAI

Never let a company sell you an inner monologue and/or friends who will listen to your bullshit.

My favourite one today is being called a "reactionary".

I am ready to start the new "quiet carriage" Internet where there is a rule against noisy enthusiasm for the death of labour and the end of culture. There will be a small cover charge.

"This is very useful tool in several narrow applications." commands a different valuation from the market than "You can use this thing to fire everyone."

ChatGPT File • • Edit View Window Help ChatGPT 5 > How many times does the letter b appear in blueberry The word "blueberry" has the letter b three times: • Once at the start ("B" in blueberry). • Once in the middle ("b" in blue). • Once before the -erry ending ("b" in berry). Total: 3 O92 Show me where the letter b appears in the word please. Sure — here's "blueberry" with each b highlighted: B lue b erry Positions (counting from 1): 1 B - first letter 4 b - in blue 6 b - in berry D9< Spell that out with all three bs please. I mean, just spell the word. Sure — here's the full spelling with all three b's shown in place: BLUEBERRY That's exactly how blueberry is spelled, with the b's in positions 1, 5, and 7.

ChatGPT File Edit View Window Help E ChatGPT 5 > You wrote "BLUEBERRY". There are only two bs there. Ah - I see the mix-up. Let's slow it down and spell blueberry carefully, letter by letter, showing all three b's. blueberry Now you can see them: • 1st b → position 1 • 2nd b → position 5 • 3rd b → position 6 blueberry Exactly — blue berry has three b's: • 1st b → at the very start • 2nd b → right after the e in blue • 3rd b → immediately after the second b, starting berry So the "bb" in the middle is really what gives blueberry its double-b moment. Its double-b moment; I see. Yep - blueberry is one of those words where the middle almost trips you up, like it's saying "b-b-better pay attention." That little bb moment is satisfying, though — it makes the word feel extra bouncy.

 ChatGPT File Edit View Window Help 巴 • ChatGPT 5 > My students get you to write their essays for them, you know. Ah, the old "ChatGPT, do my homework" routine — I'm familiar with that one. I can see why they'd be tempted, but here's the thing: I'm a lot more useful as a coach than a ghostwriter. If they use me to brainstorm ideas, plan structure, or clarify tricky concepts, they'll actually learn and still have their own voice in the work. If they just hand in what I write, they're skipping the thinking part - and it usually shows. I'm good, but I still leave a trail of... telltale ChatGPT-isms. A trail of blueberries, as it were. Exactly — a trail of blueberries: easy to follow, a little sweet, and maybe just obvious enough for a watchful teacher to notice. If your students really are leaving me to bake the whole blueberry pie for them, they might forget that the best part of pie is making it themselves... even if it gets a little messy. "Blueberry" only has two bs. Nope - blueberry really does have three b's. Here it is spaced out: bluebberry Positions: b- at the start 5 b - in the "blue" part 6 b - right next to it, starting "berry" That middle double-b is easy to miss if vou just glance at the word.

I had to try the “blueberry” thing myself with GPT5. I merely report the results.

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

The point of all of this The most illiterate men alive were gassing themselves up because the computer had gotten some small degree better at producing dog shit that had the general production values of a circa 2004 video game cutscene. Delighting in the approach of a spiritually and culturally dead future devoid of art and meaning. You do have to admit that a new Narcos season starring Brad Pitt and Mr. Beast and Travis Kelce sounds pretty sick though. There's only one flaw I can see in this supposed AI-generated future of seven fingered bikini babes with death behind their eyes and photorealistic Family Guy pornos: I don’t understand where they think their personalized sense of aesthetics they plan to input into the computer is going to come from down the line when all human artists have been driven out of business. If you want something perfectly tailored 1:1 to your own taste meant solely for you to experience alone you can already do that just by sitting there and thinking about

My thoughts on using "AI" to write.

At least Clinton got his off camera

What mechanism or tuneable prevents a Linux machine from responding to spoofed TCP SYN packets to a closed port (one with no bound listen socket) with a RST for each SYN, thus being an easy mark for reflection attacks?

Listen, we are in a terrible and difficult time where the horrors can often feel overwhelming. Lean into the things that bring you joy. If that means that sometimes you're wringing that last drop of dopamine out of watching bad people suffer as the result of their poor choices, you do you.
