Thanks for coming out to the Duke Invitational
fuck me for being this person, i guess, but public universities are a civic good and shouldn’t be run like businesses. and if you’re going to insist on running them like so, at least do some market research. students like their professors; they don’t want MOOCs taught by ChatGPT.
This reinforces my ick re: anyone yearning for “classical education”

good night, sewers.
good night, streams.
good night, operations and maintenance teams.
good night, settling tanks.

Have you mistaken Emily M Bender for a chatbot you can prompt into giving you the answer you want?

Motte and Bailey, but for dumbass opinions.
I understand media is a tough business. All too well. But the problem of paywalls is serious -- good information is often behind the wall and the lies and disinformation are free. (Not counting public media obviously.) So if you want to help inform your fellow human? POST. THE GIFT. LINK. 😘

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊
The balancing on the email mechanic is completely fucked. You're meant to reply to emails, but when you do so, you're punished by almost immediately getting another email in response which then needs to be replied to. The player is disincentivized from engaging with the core gameplay loop.
Here’s the thing about folks speedrunning the creative process with AI:
I could go to the beach every morning and put a grain of sand in a cup. They’d take their cup to the beach and fill it one day; but the point isn’t to have a cup of sand. It’s to fill my life with a thousand trips to the beach.
it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays
Doubly excellent.
Wait, are you Magic buddies ?
They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk
