hermit-tech.com/blog/ai-mani... This is just some global yikes about AI. I like to find the yikes and wallow in it. I liked the part where he said "there are even some companies still clinging to blockchain" to remind me that this isn't the first awful fad in global business.

So this flyer appeared on our door. First, I must note the incoherence: the first 3 bullet points are directly contradicting the last 3. Whirling, whirling toward the future! But more important is the 4th bullet point. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?! Where are you keeping them??? Is that them in the picture?
A political flyer: lower taxes, less government spending, less job killing relative, keeping more seniors and families (???), in support of law enforcement, in support of emergency services and public infrastructure, water quality and environmental stewardship

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

Lucy snatches the football away from Charlie Brown causing him to fly up in the air and shout "AAUGH!" Charlie, however, continues to fall upwards. He says "haha yes, it is finally happening..." Lucy looks on in disbelief. Charlie rises and says "I am ascending to the realm of God to take my fated plave at his right hand." As he rockets into the stratosphere he shouts "this is the reward for my endless suffering! This is my reward!!"

I warned you www.jezebel.com/do-not-wash-...
Do not address your Cybertruck directly while washing it. Speak only of idle gossip, of the weather — which, again, has some pretty clear requirements for this situation to even be taking place at all — or the latest results of international dressage competitions. Use a light tone if you must talk at all; [highlight] hints of judgment or remonstrance will result in the rear two tires falling off, [/highlight] and the touchscreen will begin to bleed as from stigmata.

Deep thought: We keep hearing about how AI destroys peoples' brains and ability to reason. So who uses AI more than anyone else? The people making it. At the very least, they test it for hours a day. So we can surmise that the decisions around AI dev/deployment are the dumbest possible decisions.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Any suggestions for technology to assist in producing board game documents? I'm thinking of something to assist in repeating the same block layouts over and over with varying content, or a table of commonly used icons I can plop in as if they were text characters. Somewhere between Word and Canva.

You know what the world needs? A souls-like (mixed with about 30% Devil May Cry) where you're Wonder Woman. Lots of shield parrying, a limited-use lasso to lock guys down, bullet reflecting bracelets, hurling environmental objects and your opponents. Why is it always Batman when she's right there?

I get unreasonably happy each time I defeat AI in a program I use. And it feels like a battle to win. There's always an upfront option like "Disable Generative AI", but it turns out there's 7 other steps, most hidden. Well, for Adobe Acrobat, just go Menu > Disable New Acrobat Reader. Enjoy!

Chrome perma-blocked uBlock Origins ad blocker, which would make youtube unusable (AKA 'functioning as intended'). So I gave Brave a try and now I feel dumb for waiting so long. Wow, every ad everywhere is gone! Seems like something the Megacorps won't continue to allow, but I'll enjoy it for now.

There are absolutely not enough people talking about the movie "Drop". We went to see it entirely because we had to know why the woman falls out of the restaurant in the trailer. The answer we got was as insane and nonsensical as the rest of the movie. We laughed so hard, so many times.

I was just hearing about the Chinese AI that is going to run the world, and someone mentioned that it's trained on copyrighted stuff, and we can't sue because it's China. I thought, "true, China doesn't care about copyright"... then I thought, why do we? China clearly has all the same art industries

Because sometimes knowledge i find on social media appears in my brain when I need it, here's knowledge you might need one day: vegetable oil rapidly breaks down the glue in a glue trap. Very handy for saving, for example, a ring-tailed cat stuck to a glue trap you didn't know was in your attic.

The ghosts of winter come calling, mercurial and pale. They wicker and writhe in howling winds, bound by fractured shale. Midst leaden clouds, see ERCOT grin, its grasping claws extended. Demanding tithes of blood or gold, lest ye join them as portended.
