This is a fantastic movie with a hell of a performance from Davison, as usual.

As it is Skynet Day, it seems as good a time as any to share that data center based LLM Ai is caught in a death spiral which is going largely unreported in the media. In short, major insurers are creating carve outs for Ai, refusing to insure it, causing corporations to abandon its front facing use.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title above the comic reads, "The organs are a team."
The first panel shows a drawing of a stomach. The stomach says, "I digest food so it can become energy."
The second panel shows a drawing of a heart. The heart says, "I use energy to pump blood."
The third panel shows a drawing of a liver. The liver says, "I take that blood and filter it."
The fourth panel shows a drawing of a brain. The brain says, "I will actively sabotage all of you."

oh god oh fuck
A bluesky notification reading “Tonberry followed you”, from three minutes prior.  Their icon is a picture of a Tonberry from final fantasy, a weird little green dude in a brown robe with a featureless face consisting of only two yellow dot eyes.  It’s holding a lantern, for being spooky, and a knife (for ending your life). It offers me the option to follow the tonberry back, which is generally not how this works, but can be useful in getting through the ARR bonus dungeon Wanderer’s Palace (Hard).

A meme of a Simpsons episode where Mr Burns made a propaganda film of himself based largely on films like Ben-hur. The image depicts mr Burns bathed in angelic light, while a thirsty Ben-hur is in a heap at his feet. The text reads ‘you really are king of kings’ ‘excellent’

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

we should obviously strive for clarity in our work but a not insignificant percentage of your readers will always (erroneously) assume one of your characters is a horse, and no amount of explanation or exposition will prevent this
that tweet where someone was 40% into a book, all the time incorrectly assuming a non-horse character was a horse

This is exactly right. This stuff doesn't scale well. It works fine for individual use cases, natural language search, assisting in research, small coding tasks, etc. It can't replace workers and SV threw a trillion at it like it would.
