This is my favorite scene from PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE (1985). Just as strangely beautiful as the first time I saw it.

Oh, that feels like a reach, he's some serbian dude, and you could argue the metaphor is russia ukraine as much as anything else you wanna project onto it.

shoulda been a hot Netanyahu instead? 😅

The low point for me was the slow garage door. Nothing else especially chafed. Unsurprisingly all of the guy gardner stuff worked well since he's a perfect tonal match for Gunn's comedy. Those giant green middle fingers 💚

My main cringe thing with the left is how often our "comedy" is basically calling the right ugly.

They do look like shit though, and deserve the bullying, so eh ✌️

A screenshot of a news article from the verge. It reads “With Gemini, Williams says, you can just give the details of the message and a tone. Maybe you're running late, so you say, "Tell my spouse I'm 15 minutes late and send it in a jokey tone." Instead of having to think of what to say, the bot will write it for you.”

such a shame about booker, his 25 hour speech had me amenable — politicians really should have to wear their sponsorships like NASCAR

These people can only conceive of win-lose situations, and so they forgo win-win arrangements in favor of lose-lose arrangements

Hey kids, did you know if you pick this up from the cooler and change your mind about buying it, leaving it randomly in the store, it won't go back to the shelf for sale.

It's a part of food safety we should all observe. Don't pickup strange warm dairy products, especially if it that coffemate shit

Cory Booker is so void of any real principles or substance or policies, he is pure political theater and represents everything people hate about the typical American politician—of course he has nothing to say about someone who is so fundamentally the opposite of him

If IGN has layoffs, nobody in games press is safe. If Microsoft has layoffs, nobody in platforms is safe. If Ubisoft and Bungie and NetEase have layoffs, nobody in game development is safe. If the Romeros get their funding pulled, no studio is safe.

It's rough out there, right now.

If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work?
Discussion
It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque.
On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't.
All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction.
I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read).
And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable.
How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with.
I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".

Yes, we know Illinois and Maryland are Dem gerrymanders. And WI, PA, NC, OH, FL, TX, UT are Republican gerrymanders. The Democrats support a nationwide ban on gerrymanders. Do any Republicans?

I love when I can see the work in a piece of art. Practical effects in film, brush strokes on canvas, strange sounds in music, "impossible" visuals in games. It puts me in conversation with the artist. That's why - ethics aside - art created with AI is just so disappointing. There's no work to see.
