Every day:

"what do you mean you never use it?" i have literally never needed it in any situation

opinione da vekkia ma sapere che le band che mi piacciono non continuano a fare musica da ventenni per sempre mi rassicura molto

I look forward to hiring a Chief AI Officer whose job will be to just tell anyone who suggests using AI for anything to shut the fuck up.

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. 🧪

A cute little moth that is very scary and will definitely win many battles. Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls Legendary Creature - Elder Demon Flying Ward-Pay 2 life. Whenever an opponent loses life for the first time during each of their turns, put a +1/+1 counter on Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls and draw a card.

I made a scarier version of my MtG commander so he can intimidate my opponents

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Pictures of a pink sea anemone sitting on top of a hermit crab shell.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

if you enjoy a movie that doesn't pass the Bechdel Test a mean lesbian will come to your house and yell at you actually. we take turns doing shifts for this. mine is next week.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I just received a contract on Docusign for review and signing, and it offered to give me an AI-generated summary that I could read instead to save time.

That's AN AI-GENERATED SUMMARY ***OF A CONTRACT***, in case you need to let that sink in.

did you know? Silksong's full name is actually Hollow Knight: Silksong. the meaning of "Hollow Knight" is unknown, but it's believed that it's a fanciful elaboration on what else HK could stand for, put in as a nod to Team Cherry's love of the Hingdom Kearts series

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
