I think it's closer to the truth that LLMs *can* save time on *some tasks* which can be valuable *if* you monitor them and check their output. But that doesn't get you a trillion dollars so they have to squint into the middle distance and say stupid sci fi bullshit instead

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.

Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

Welcome to the Far Left, where your vote is somehow powerful enough to determine the outcome of an election, yet not valuable enough to appeal to through campaigning or policy changes.

Really tired of having LGBTQ rights brought up as a bully stick by Islamophobes. "If you lived in a Muslim country-" well I don't, man. The vast majority of the people who hold institutional power in any western country are Christians, and guess who's best represented among people trying to kill me?

As it is Skynet Day, it seems as good a time as any to share that data center based LLM Ai is caught in a death spiral which is going largely unreported in the media. In short, major insurers are creating carve outs for Ai, refusing to insure it, causing corporations to abandon its front facing use.

"Most cultures think sexual contact with dead animals is taboo." Condoms were made from sheep gut for hundreds of years, and people are generally not put off by leather fetishists. Clearly the taboo is against sexual contact with unprocessed dead animals. Ergo, cook the chicken and then fuck it.

Jackdawman @jackdawman.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I think this is the key. There's so much going on in games that you could talk about it forever, but the more important question is then what do you really want to say? What do you want or need to express?

Thing is, what you just said actually makes sense if you know the vocab words in question. What he said doesn't make sense even once you get past the wordiness.

Be a Laurie. I think Laurie is probably sleeping pretty dang well at night

As the flight neared final boarding, another ICE officer accused Laurie of interfering with the operation and pressed her to help locate the passenger. Laurie declined to say whether the woman was on the flight's passenger list and told the officer he would need to contact the airline's corporate security department for information. "You're going to need a subpoena," she said. No arrests were made at the gate that day.

The next day, the passenger called her.
She had made it home. And she was with her child.

It's also interesting to consider the games that deliberately don't automate things almost all other games do, e.g. Receiver for all the details of using a gun, and QWOP or Baby Steps for just moving around the world. I think they demonstrate that all games must automate some part of the experience.

So historically, instead of just standing up for themselves, Democrats join their bully in attacking themselves, and convince people who want obvious answers to desperate problems that they don't stand for much of anything. And their reward for it is they're still painted as dirty Commies.

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”

We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.

GTA 6 feels less like a game and more some kind of totem for a certain kind of dying gamer identity, that cannot economically or culturally sustain itself anymore. it represents a million different things and seemingly the least important of them is that it is an open world mission based video game
