Anyway go see spider baby and moon destroyer in Pilsen when I get back to town.

Sometimes you have to fly to Youngstown Ohio to see some Chicago bands by complete accident and tell them you'll absolutely be at their next show in Pilsen when you get home.

this is how you have to treat these guys. with genuine contempt. your genuine contempt makes their smarmy fake contempt look weak and inauthentic. it immediately exposes their game. these guys are just losers who have sworn revenge for every humiliation. humiliate them again

I just spent two days trying to figure out what methods still worked to pirate adobe on macs to work on a project while I'm not home, then just now remembered I still have an affinity 2.x license. Who knew giving them $50 years ago would actually come in handy one day.

I'm not convinced Epic have thought through announcing: "Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher" alongside "We would like to have kernel level access to your Linux filesystems".

I do think you basically charge a few of them with the cybercrimes they're committing and the "alignment" problem does suddenly start to disappear.

trans people are also just flatly correct to rage at Dems for wavering on trans rights because immigration advocates did not do so when Dems started wavering on immigration under Obama and that led us to Biden adopting Trump I immigration policy almost wholesale

I'd have thought that the goal of a nominally centre-left political party would be to build a voter base of marginalised groups with overlapping interests and not to deliberately alienate minorities and then get arsey about it. But, what I failed to consider is, they don't want to.

The reason that AI companies are saying "it's too dangerous! we have to slow down!" is that they are no longer making progress and need that fact to appear deliberate.

The reason that the Harry Potter apologists won't just read better books is because they're not looking for good stories...if they were, they wouldn't have glommed on to Harry Potter. They're looking for the camaraderie and social phenomenon that Harry Potter was in the 2000s.

OK I know I said this about the solo cait sixth fight, but the solo cloud boss at the end of ch11 is hot garbage. I paused and put my console to sleep after 30 minutes of the same attempt and the boss at 95% health still. I think I might just hate this game when it makes you do a fight solo.

Re: Brubaker, Ellis, etc. Good work is good work. I don't feel duped for having bought and enjoyed good stories. HOWEVER, good work is not unique. And let it be known that producing good work does not allow for bad behavior. It is also not a shield that will prevent someone from kicking your ass.

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.
