I now have a cursed image in my head of “Ave Caesar” splashed across the bottom of a Little Caesar’s Pizza logo

That must be a huge relief! 😮‍💨

git satay?

Thanks I hate it

Is it okay to start deconstructing K Pop Demon Hunters in a spoilery way yet?

Because I can’t help thinking about the contradiction at the core of the film and how it mirrors some patterns of queer affirmation in Evangelical spaces…

So K Pop Demon Hunters is about the toxicity of Side B theology?

He’d done it! After years of ridicule, he’d proven that reality was a simulation; and with it, a remote code exploit that allowed him to “borrow” the compute cycles of anyone who tried to predict his behavior.

There was just one thing left to do: become the Main Character on social media.

This is something I’d like to hear more about!

Fair enough; for what it’s worth, the essay that I linked to doesn’t use that framing explicitly, and I think it stands without it.

What we (don’t) talk about when we talk about AI Everybody’s talking about it; everybody’s tired of talking about it. Why aren’t we making more progress in the discussion?

I wrote (at least tangentially) about this. Even when we *know* that it’s just a stochastic parrot, it’s really hard to treat it that way because it’s pushed so far into the uncanny valley: mandymusings.com/posts/what-w...

This looks like some sort of Sci fi magical girl transformation (complimentary)

Mawaru Penguindrum! That is certainly one of the more fucked up shows I’ve seen

That’s like a two-for-one deal, introducing an artistic medium and cracking eggs all at the same time!

Fair! I definitely was not prepared for End of Evangelion to rewrite the ending the first time I watched it.

Have you watched the films yet?

Alas, my parents will be here the following week, and I suspect the film would not be quite to their taste 😂

Hmm…maybe that should be the next Wednesday watch…

Wow, that goes *hard*

Ballmer Peak but with stress? Checks out

Is there a word that captures the idea of “carcinization”, but for spreadsheets?

I’m with you. If hype had a taste, it would be In-N-Out Burgers (derogatory)

Which, come to think of it, seems oddly appropriate for California.

That was incredible

I’ve had Chappell Roan’s “The Giver” stuck in my head for days. If I built a country playlist around that and Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road”, what else should go on it?

FWIW, you don’t have a case for exactly equal to one!

That’s a whole damn mood

I’m very sad that I missed this series on my last trip

The Bobiverse books are silly and fun, and I also recently enjoyed Michael Schur’s How to Be Perfect

What we (don’t) talk about when we talk about AI Everybody’s talking about it; everybody’s tired of talking about it. Why aren’t we making more progress in the discussion?

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the reasons that a lot of folks fail to make progress is discussions about AI. Is this part of it?

*in* discussions. smh 🤦🏼‍♀️
