As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success". When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be. ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich. "Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure there was a study in Finland that showed a strong social support net allowed women to live independently and settle down only if and when they wanted to.

The only reason this isn’t considered trafficking via fraud is because crime is something poor people do

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

“You’re so lucky! I wish I didn’t have to work!”

People act like we’re getting a permanent vacation.

The reality is we are forced to live in legislated poverty.

Barred from earning or marrying without losing our meagre benefits.

Denied autonomy.

And we’re sick & in pain.

It’s a 24/7 job.

I'm sorry my enjoyment of the hit game The Ooze by Sega Technical Institute that made classics such as Comix Zone and Kid Chameleon is so offensive to you, stranger

90’s anime style screenshot of Hamazaki sitting cross-legged in a big red chair in front of a fireplace, holding a big hardcover book and a mug with a snowman on it. He’s wearing an ugly Christmas sweater. The image is crunchy and degraded like a low quality VHS

A lot of people thought the Hamazaki Holiday Special was a weird pivot for the Like a Dragon anime to take, especially since basically every season is set in December anyway. 🖊️🦑

A sponsorship installation for Musks Grok doing AI bullshit at the Tron Ares premiere.

Honestly, Grok sponsoring a Tron movie is the most anti-Tron thing and just shows how much Ares is straight up corporate tech bro propaganda. It’s very sad. Tron has such potential and never fully gets there. Legacy and Uprising are good but Tron: Identity tbh is the franchise peak.

A newspaper clipping, probably fake, of an early rendering of a Stegosaur with the headline “WAS MOST GROTESQUE ANIMAL” and the caption: “stegosaur, who lived in Utah ages ago, is a freak”

It’s me

The message must be "No bailouts for billionaires." AI is not too big to fail. And should it fail, the richest men in the world should be held accountable and take responsibility for their failures.

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

I'll never forget the pitch of a (thankfully failed) startup I ran across years ago, that was basically "Don't you wish you could monetize your friendships? Now you can! Our new app and shitcoin makes it easy to keep track of the favors you do for one another, to cash in later!"

The second time I experienced it fully... as a summoner!

Funnily enough, my first time with that fight was my easiest. I was a dragoon and the math just worked out so I could land before he went. Until I replayed it I had no idea why others had a hard time.

Not that it was a problem since you cleared it but they fixed that in IC, you can exit if you need to.

A little ferret with his little head in my hand

I hope this little dude never outgrows the part of his personality that says “if you see an open human hand, that’s where your tiny face should go”. He does it literally all the time. If I present my hand to him and he’s not super hyper (even if he is sometimes), he just puts his head there.

That's so adorable! I love ferrets' lil quirks.

Please do as shaun says, but not before reporting the account for spreading disinfo.

genAI is so good nowadays that we're all gonna get got eventually, but being told/shown over and over that you're disseminating a lie, and just ignoring people who point it out, is a serious red flag.

Ever since 2013 you can't reticulate splines like you did back in the old days. Shame.

getting reticulated must feel so good if you're a spline

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?” The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Cis people are perfectly capable of objecting to the current crop of Harry Potter fascist sympathisers with the same stridency as they did to Kimmel’s cancellation or the Riyadh Comedy Festival. They simply choose not to, because they agree with Rowling that we must be kept down at heel.

we live in an era of incredible video editing skills being using to create the most insane media

- put down the damn AI.

Not knowing anything about the Mariners, I thought the people raving about Humpy were talking about a player.

Nothing could be further from the truth. I've discovered Humpy is a salmon mascot who lost over 160 races before winning one during game 5 last night moments before the walk-off single win

Did the Mariners finally win ALDS Game 5 because of Humpy the Salmon? Humpy won his first ever Salmon Run Friday night -- just before the Mariners secured a win and advanced to the ALCS.

Yes www.seattletimes.com/sports/marin...

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it
