The Simpsons: Homer's Cursed Frogurt Dilemma

(Tom Cruise plays “Worst Guy Ever” in Tropic Thunder, too, heh.)

Right, but Tropic Thunder was at least funny in spots. This was: “Haha, joke’s on you for being emotionally manipulated by this trash”—except I’m thinking, “uh … I wasn’t?” Galaxy Quest pulls these shenanigans to a lesser degree, but in a good faith attempt to entertain. A wink, not a punch.

Yep. I mean to be fair, I got exactly what I paid for. 😅

Succès de scandale - Wikipedia

I dunno if we still do “Succès de scandale” in these post-post-post-everything times of ours. Yes, sure, fine, maybe we the audience DO deserve to be berated, but … gosh, who has the energy to actually sit through it? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succ%C3...

Parade (ballet) - Wikipedia

Watching it, the Satie/Picasso ballet collab The Parade came to mind, not in terms of content*, but the provocation of the audience. [*] Uh, I guess they also pit the production against the audience, but with different resentments? edia.org/wiki/Parade_(ballet)

There’s a (meta?) reading of the movie as a call to action on climate, but that reading is undermined the entire time — when it’s not being openly mocked. It’s well-crafted. It achieves its artistic purpose, which is to piss off the audience.

200

Not that I think this was a successful or entertaining movie by any stretch. It’s a message movie that hates being a message movie and hates its audience for showing up to a message movie. I left the theater thinking, “Well, screw you, too, Alejandro.”

Insisting that LLMs are Not People is not an academic argument about the nature of sapience or free will. It's a rejection of accountability laundering. If non-determinism made machines responsible for their own actions then revolvers used in Russian Roulette should be indicted for murder.

Also, this is their mascot in the lobby about four feet tall.

Maocai panda mascot. An anthropomorphic panda bear wearing a Chinese tunic eating a large bowl of Maocai stew with chopsticks. Very cute.

Crater Lake gets my seal of approval for being very craterific, quite lakeish.

It’s a picture of Crater Lake, Oregon from the rim looking down at Wizard Island, but with my big meaty white thumbs up in the way.

This coffee shop has only one kind of trash. (No recycle. No compost.) But they do have three large American flags, one regular, one gray with a green stripe (military), and one gray with a red stripe (firefighters) — the pride flags of red America. Coffee and bagel was pretty good.

I’ve traveled from the land of blue dreds and Pokémon tatts to the land of wearing sunglasses on top of your trucker hat. Everyone has a large truck and multiple pony-sized dogs that look like they’re fed on raw venison and gunpowder. The one constant is the waft of cannabis everywhere.

Rode the Amtrak from Seattle to Klamath Dalls, OR. Gonna hang out for a few days, take in Crater Lake. Also staying at a ranch outside Bly that doesn’t get cell service. Do some stargazing. Been a while since I’ve been in Eastern Oregon. Like a different world that’s more redneck than Texas.

This, from an Anthropic employee, either reflects a lack of imagination or is evidence that this is all just lies. If you were really that scared, you'd pull the plug on all the servers and wipe everything from ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC, and RIPE NCC. No more internet; problem solved.

I would burn my equity to the ground in a heartbeat for a 1% higher chance we make it out of this situation alive. I expect a great many of my colleagues across the industry would as well.

I promise you, we are actually just fucking scared, it's not galaxy brained marketing.

real friendships involve the other person pushing back against you, having needs, being busy, not being able to devote themselves to you. we know from the experience of the powerful that having somebody at your literal beck and call is a factor in driving people mad.

💯 It’s all terror tactics, right? Between this and the masks and the shock gloves… Thing is, I’m not actually terrified by the tech; I hate that people in power want to use it. They were absurdly evil all along, but now they have excess money—our money!—to spend on sci-fi terror squad swag.

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.
