It’s actually fine that the US govt doesn’t want to regulate AI development I mean, just look at the US railroads. The govt allowed the railroad tycoons to do whatever they wanted & it all worked out just fine <opens book called ‘History of Rail’ to pg. 1 & begins reading> Oh… Oh no…

OMFG. Why are men?

If you don't celebrate Bill, I do judge you.

Ugh, why is bluetooth always the most annoying technology?

Yeah, if he just sticks to 'fixing' national monuments I'll be...well, not happy, but it beats him besieging my region.

This is one of the elements that makes Pepe's ones so great.

Someone else will be forced to migrate it to updated dependencies near the end. The project will be a death march that costs them a good performance review.

...as the foundation of a chat app. Someone will get promoted for it, but stop supporting it immediately after, this causing the deprecation and shutdown.

Same. I saw that one that yesterday and 🤮😭

FWIW, I created my own feed that curates a lot of the people I remember so I can get more of a focus on everyone.

Happy 'the Hobbits first meet Strider' day for those who celebrate.

I'm bad at actors, but wow.

🫂 That's good parenting, if quite difficult.

We get both coyotes AND roadrunners out here. Though not generally in the same time and place.

I'm dreading this possibility in my own life.

I saw they were detransitioning, but hadn't seen the rest. I'm sorry to hear it, but somehow not surprised.

Good luck on the launch! And I hope you can get some rest!

They're in central Orange County. 😭 Okay, there's fewer of them, but I still see lots.

My partner used to have a pixie, and sometimes makes me coffee, and uh, maybe I need to ask them to be rude to me too? Cause...

Ooh, I wonder which arbitrary national monument he's about to 'improve'.

Seems to be improving. Most of Kate's known health issues have been addressed, now working through the backlog of my medical stuff (fortunately shorter). Suffering a bit of burnout though, had to step away from some fun side projects for a bit.

Which, yeah, this is why we're having all these bluesky discussions about the rationalists.

I'm watching @trueconsolation.bsky.social's latest video, and she's absolutely right about tech leaders following a new syncretic religion reinterpreting traditional religious categories through the lens of technological progress.

Happy 'Tom saves the hobbits from the barrow-wight' day for all who celebrate.

Besides, the real show that ended too soon was Pushing Daisies.

Years ago, there was a reddit thread simulating the fandom discussions if it had continued. Even though it was rank speculation, it was convincing enough that we'd have been so annoyed if it continued.
