I intend to deal with this the same way I deal with any information about Touhou crossing my eyeline, which is to say "wow, that sure is a sequence of facts that I know aren't anything more than a field of nonsense hurled out like pocket sand" and then going back to thinking about robots.

When your therapist says "be nicer to yourself" she isn't including a veiled directive to hire subcontractors.

i strongly agree with this and while i think the definition of virtue can change over time, almost none of the shit that so many powerful chuds think is virtue *ever* has been considered as such

One of the things that makes MST3k great is actually that Mike and Joel from the early days made it clear that you could have different flavors while keeping it recognizably MST3k.

"I was probably annoyingly pretentious and full of myself at age 12" is not a grand character flaw provided you recognize it by around age 18.

"I'm smart enough to have avoided most or all of the pitfalls of youth" is a real "Charlie Brown had hoes" level of statement. No you aren't. That isn't true.

It's an absolute gem of a game that clearly deserved a sequel; much like the first Kirby game, it feels like a proof of concept that's fleshed out exactly enough to feel complete but also with lots of space to do other things. Alas.

Then, when it's done, you ask the interviewer "do you want some of this? Hire me, bitch" and walk out.

It's about power. It's about drive. It's about controlling the interview. Me, I like to smoke the brisket and play "Nobody Speak" on loop the entire time.

I think some of them will be tempted, but I don't think many of them; I think anyone who isn't deep into the Freak Zone is suddenly going to become very, very open to reaching across the aisle because the tide has officially turned.

I don't think I necessarily agree, but I think that it's going to become a more niche skill; typing is still useful in a lot of places, but it is no longer a skill you need to use computers to communicate at all.

"I'm not bringing this rifle. I'm holding it by its scope. That's a terrible idea." "Then why did you bring it at all?" "Because it would look really dope posing with it." "I... why would you..." "Dramatic reveals are important."

The thing about FFVI is that it is a game that inspires something. It feels like an adventure in a way that few manage. Even as a main plot runs through it, there's a sense of this huge, moving world filled with things that barely link together and yet they mean everything in the world.

AI can't want to be funny, it can't want to draw something, it can't feel inspired and pull together a weird confluence of ideas. It's not capable of acting with intent, because that requires internal thoughts, and what we call AI just does not have that. It is, constitutionally, incapable of it.

Deontological Warfare @clockworklady.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I think it goes further than that; they lack intent. Voice is a part of intent, but like you said, the lack of an internal sense and purpose means that the output at best mirrors a style without the substance.

I am shocked, shocked that "gamble on everything and anything" does not attract people who have calm and measured approaches to gambling and an ability to control their spending habits.

They're fancy autocomplete when you ask them to generate something novel, but that's like saying that a car's engine is an inconvenient and dirty hot plate. You're using something for a task it isn't meant to do and complaining that it isn't very good for that task.

As an LGBTQ elder who’s been fighting for our rights since the AIDS crisis, it is my duty to dole out tough love when members of our own community are harming themselves or our community. And telling people not to vote Dem when we’ve already lost rights in GOP states YEARS AGO is harming us all.

1988: "This is gay" means "this is stupid and bad." 2026: "This is gay" means "this rules."

The only part I'd take umbrage with is that "the coup is ongoing" implies that there's some concentrated effort, which I don't think there is. There's not a plan, there's just an addled and awful human being who never intends to give back anything to anyone under any circumstances.

I dropped it from my vocabulary pretty much instantly when we decided "yeah, that's a slur" and have never, no matter how angry, found myself using it again. The only times I say it is when I am referencing a joke that uses it specifically from the 90s and it's a direct quote. Simple as.

Deontological Warfare @clockworklady.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I grew up in the 80s, and as a kid, I used that word pretty much constantly as a way of expressing that something was dumb. It was constant. I can't express how common it was in media until we decided that yeah, it was a slur. And do you know how hard it is for me to not use it? Not at all.

"they're not seriously committed to fighting fascism" I don't know, dude, what are you doing to fight it? How are you planning to do that? As near as I can tell your approach is "constantly criticize the Democrats for any failings" and that isn't working.
