What's funny is that he's completely right about fantasy football, it's just that its sociality is not fun when you're a miserable wretch. On its own it's a huge waste of time that can only ever make you mad at your father in law on Sundays

People won't voluntarily give up their Kid-Crusher 5000s unless we make driving them considerably more costly and inconvenient, which is precisely what we should do.

While it sucks that we're ruled by a guy spiraling into both AI dementia and regular dementia, it rules that there's a new way of making fun of people for being enamored by the computer that tells them nice things

NEW: Amazon will refund thousands of Prime members in Wards 7 and 8 for secretly excluding them from full delivery services. The exclusions have now been lifted, and Amazon will also be required to change its practices. No corporation is too big to be held accountable for deceiving DC residents.

Getting mad at Joyce Cato Oates for being a snob after cheering all her epic burns is a different form of being a member of the Leopards Eating Faces party. You can’t contain that heat, you can only hope to avoid its gaze.

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

I've never seen this panorama at Dulles before. It's a carnival that's been constructed right outside Union Station in DC, 1917. If I didn't have a flight to catch I could stand here and look at the details for an hour.

Ok I've seen enough. The ai guys are in a millenarian apocalyptic cult. They convinced themselves they were too smart for religion and then looped right around into creating a machine god. No more to it than that.

I've been playtesting my new board game's solo mode a lot lately, and the bot keeps beating me. I have no choice but to conclude that this game mode will hasten the downfall of civilization, unfortunately.

As impossible to measure as the out-of-state plate issue mentioned here, but I think integrating hit-and-run data would start to clarify things. Then again, maybe I'm just making the same assumptions.

It's not conspiratorial thinking because their straightforward explanation is that there is a clock that no one else gets to see, ergo a secret clock. They are the ones explaining that there is a secret clock.

Especially in a presidential election, you also don't get to write on the ballot what parts you specifically support. Obviously some assumptions are safer than others, but basing an entire analysis on motive should require some reflection on where people have shifted since.

I don't think this is the argument. CEOs demanding the children's book equivalent of a written report is upstream of this being "the work," so I don't actually care what replaces it. There are so many more pertinent objections to the tech.
