Cormacaroni @cormacaroni.bsky.social · 01/10/2026tired of the trope where TV characters are sarky in response to questions are that are clearly only posed to feed info to second-screen viewers, i.e Joe: the murders took place in Moscow, it says here Jack: Moscow…in Russia?! Joe, eyes rolling, withering: No, Moscow in Penge, you graat pillock 020

Cormacaroni @cormacaroni.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Thing is, you can watch ANY streamer content (including many other Dropout shows) and see much the same thing. The peak GC episodes for me are the ones where you can attempt to figure out the rules along with the players, and then revel in those rules getting twisted into total chaos 100

Cormacaroni @cormacaroni.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It’s easier to write flat, expository dialog and trust the second screen to keep viewers from clicking away than to just write compelling dialog so I guess we’re stuck with it :/ 010
Cormacaroni @cormacaroni.bsky.social · 16/09/2026‘Harry Potter fanfic’ is certainly suggestive of all manner of kink but Methods of Rationality specifically is basically a sexless text and that is the ‘Holy Bible’?

Cormacaroni @cormacaroni.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It’s dangerous to put off selling up and moving out when you’re living in a house of cards, but you can’t just let people come in and poke around and take pictures either. And the longer they wait, the more the competition catches up as you hit diminishing returns. I don’t see anything good for ‘em 040
Cormacaroni @cormacaroni.bsky.social · 13/09/2026So what I strongly suspect is happening here is that OpenAI and Anthropic are angling for favorable regulation from TrumpWorld that will shut out competition from China etc. The fearmongering also hyped up the supposed capabilities of their wares. OFC, they want to IPO asap but the books are putrid 130
