LKK will colonise Mars and send back the first Fermented Red Sauce by 2032

If you think A.I. will solve your problems, you don't understand technology and you don't understand your problems.

Me, watching TV with my own eyes: is this calvinism

Douglas Adams did this gag already, I guess

Ask AI to write your emails
Ask AI to do your job
Ask AI to read your books
Ask AI to satisfy your wife
Ask AI to sit on your couch and watch TV
Ask AI to pray to your maker

im basically a musk fanboi but for the Lee Kum Kee Corporation

i fought on the side of peas in that war (and the regretted it, apparently)

though I'm using dashi instead of chicken powder in everything so im just breaking even in the cantoneseness here

going through a phase (adding oyster sauce to every sauce)

An AI judge is the most powerful tool you can use to punish creativity and novelty, and reward conformity and superficiality. I am no teacher - maybe that's what standardised exams are meant for?? But god if I was a student i know how much it'd depress me.

Just the sheer existential wasteland of trying to be the best cat for a machine that will never pet a cat, writing for a machine that will never consider writing as a way for humans to communicate ideas to each other, that will never be delighted or surprised or annoyed.

At some point, when you go to the pet store and request a cat, you're just going to get a bag of cat meat, because that's what they've been told a cat is.

We're entering an age where one side produces a cat-shaped block of cat-meat and feed it into a cat-meat scanner, which will tell you it's a cat.

Magic.

Ever needed to recode a variable based on whether it matches something in a named list? Have you ever used rlang's `!!!` operator? It's pretty dang cool. I feel like {rlang} is so cool, but so enigmatic 😂 #rstats

Here's a pic & gist (bc it's frustrating to not be able to copy/paste the pic) #databs

Well, tell *them* no then.

There is tremendous power in a nice, chilled "No.". No follow-up, no justification, no counter, no fuck you, just a plain statement of intention. A total blank monolith that does not invite a response.

That's right! Unless you have a specific legal recourse or economy power over me or threatening me with violence, you actually can't make me! And even technically possible legal/economic/violent threats have to pass a practical credibility thresholds before it reaches "make me".

One of my biggest (re-)discoveries as an adult is learning that "I don't wanna" is, in fact, all the justification I need.

there is no 10th season of the simpsons because base 10 hadn't been invented yet and they ran out of digits

my simpsons references are older than shakespeare references were when the simpsons came out

me non-achievement english? that's unpossible!

Screenshot of an online poll at Stuff.co.nz, asking “Is scrapping NCEA is a good move?” Love that extraneous copula; perfectly fine in e.g. Gaelic or French, but presumably a fail for literacy standards in English… (Checking and rechecking my alt text for any inadvertent typos…)

“Is our children is learning?” [sic]🤔

Tbf, I feel that way about dinosaurs with feathers and rando planets/planetoids/not-a-planet-anymore

I just wish weird psychosexual obsessions functioned the way they used to. 19th century weirdos aiming to end masturbation made us both a breakfast cereal and a tasty cracker. That NEVER happens today. Nobody tries to criminalize IUDs and accidentally invents a new kind of Milano.

Economics and policy professors should always demand of their supervisees 'what survey or admin data source/s ultimately provides this series you are using', to ensure people don't fall into trap of thinking GDP, unemployment, profits, wages, etc data come out of the air or Platonic introspection.

gotta burn an economy to save it, stupid

We need a Foghorn Leghorn for the left.
