Love getting cold-called on a company holiday by some dude from a major company trying to sell my company some solution I'm pretty sure we handle in-house. Bro didn't even ask if i had time to chat, just launched into the pitch before I stopped him.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

This is both (a) the result of carelessness in the guardrails and (b) an unavoidable outcome with *all* AI. You can do better on (a) to mitigate when/how (b) occurs but a probabilistic model built to have essentially unlimited functionality will sometimes go bonkers. That's inherent to to the tech.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

There’s something in these all of these anecdotes about Dolly’s understanding of bodily autonomy and self-actualization and how those are tied to *all* women’s ability to pursue and achieve their dreams but a cis gay guy like me is not the person to write it.

chaumas posting on tumblr saying: "my dad's best friend who transitioned after being in a car wreck with a moose posted transition pictures and she's looking amazing."

nentuaby asks: "Waitlike. Are these just two facts about her or did the moose somehow crack her egg along with her car."

chaumas clarifies, saying: "she wasn't publicly out before the moose incident but she needed extensive reconstructive surgery and just snuck gender affirming surgeries into that. so yeah to most people it definitely looked like she had a near death moose experience and they just rebuilt her into a woman."

Not speaking ill of the dead is the greatest crock of shit, and you know why? Nobody has to invoke it whenever someone beloved died, you'll hear outpourings from fans about how authors touched their lives, people reminiscence about their favourite actors' best roles, a celebration of their lives...

A man says "if I die please do NOT clear my search history" to another man. He leans in with greater intensity and says "I want people to know what I was into." The other man asks "is it... bad?" The first man, with an expression of aggressive dread, makes a fist and says "no, it is baffling."

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this
Millennial grey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]

Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]

To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.
