After careful analyzing trumps words and actions I must come to the following conclusion. When he speaks, he; A) is lying B) is full of shit C) is making stuff up as he goes. D) a combination of A), B) and/or C) I can’t stress how worrisome this is for the existence of the whole world.

First we had a text generating machine, but it wasn't enough to raise billions, so it became branded as AI. A year later we still had a text generating machine, but to raise more billions Altman started hawking AGI. Now even AGI isn't enough for yet more billions, so out comes Super Intelligence.

In the eyes of all its international allies it is clear. The US is becoming a fascist state. decorrespondent.nl/16177/this-i...

This is fascism
Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that.

Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵

'accessibility is difficult' is a shitty blanket statement. 'accessibility is made way more difficult by using shit frameworks and ui libraries with inaccessibility baked in' is not. if you're sacrificing semantic html for div soup you're gonna have a shit time no matter what.

Star Wars opened today in 1977, I'm enormously fond of the first, terrible, trailer 20th Century Fox cut for it. They had no idea how to sell it, or faith in the project, and it it shows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHk5...

I still marvel at the people who use GenAi to create images and then post the result as if they did a thing. No, you did not. Stop faking art. Go pick up a pencil or brush and make an effort. Try something. Give a damn. That is the stuff I want to see and what I appreciate.

I do a lot of ideating just to prove that my best darling or my 1st gut instinct is wrong. But over the years, my gut is pretty good. I think this comes from experience. The research is not to validate that I was right all along. It’s to provide durable insights about user intention & behavior.
