Psychopomp and Circumstance

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

It’s wild how similar our morgue decoration sensibilities are.

Wait hold on, is that my morgue?

One could liken the progression of time to the forward motion of an arrow. On an unrelated note, drosophila are attracted to bananas.

Props for the props.

Picture of me in a gray hoodie and sweats, in the middle of some goofball akimbo pose, with a French fry in my mouth like it’s a cigarette. I’m blurry because I’m moving, and the photographer is laughing.

I’m looking at the camera in this one. There’s a look of crazed intensity in my eyes. I have a mustache. I’m holding an orange cat. The cat looks pretty perplexed. He has no idea what’s going on. His expression is all like “hey what the fuck dude?”

I kinda hope GTA 6 is just okay. Not bad, not broken. Just okay.

If a tv is “smart” enough to say “HDMI 2 is now available” it’s smart enough to just show me HDMI 2 instead of the no signal screen.

I bet I could scrute it.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Missing viral sample?

Problematic phage gap.

Your tire pressure tool can't get a good seal on the valve?

Problematic gauge gap.

Hey guys we need to raise your power bills again because the jackoff material factory needs more power to turn your mom and daughter’s pictures into pornography and we need you to pay for it

It's so important to let kids figure out who they are so by the time they have a job and have to hide most of who they are they understand the who that they're hiding

I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"
