Shameless is just a primetime sitcom with nudity and no laugh track.

In a race to the bottom, sometimes you’ve just gotta get top. Topped? To the top? I forget. Get to high ground and get head or something.

Amazon being able to deliver anything to your door within 30 minutes, 24 hours a day, is terrifying. Sometimes I lie awake at night just shaking and shitting myself thinking about it.

I wish I were able to experience the levels of joy that non-autistics seem to experience at sports games.

I wish every game had bots. Like, I want to play fun multiplayer games but would rather not get called slurs and be shit on for trying to learn. Gamers are some of the worst people on the planet, and I work as a programmer, so I know pieces of shit.

Chinese hackers are posing as Filipinos and trying to get remote access to the computers of American software developers. Not sure why.

Imagine having so much money that you could spend over 140 million a day and never put a dent in your net worth. That’s Musk’s existence, and he does nothing except more evil. All of that money belongs to the people of Earth. It is all stolen.

Conservatives have manipulated leftists so badly in America that I see “leftists” defending autocratic fascists online regularly. Like, they made people think that being moderate is being leftist. Therefore, actual leftists are considered extremists now. All according to plan…

If I were an unemployed American right now, I’d really be sweatin’. Instead, I started my own business so I can underpay and mistreat myself instead of being underpaid and mistreated by some dipshit with a lead-based problem.

Middle-finger to the system, make new system. Middle-finger to that one too. Fuck you.

There are too many great games and updates coming out this year. I can’t fucking keep up. I want to play them all, and I don’t even have the time to play through one game completely. I can’t believe the things coming out next month…

My secret is that I view every single one of my projects as my magnum opus.

Non-autistics always assume your facial expression is relating to things happening in the real world. Most of my facial expressions are the result of random things I’m thinking about.

There’s no system that can’t be gamed.

People may be interested to see this concerning line at the start of Meta’s default SOUL.md system prompt. They WANT AI to go rogue. They get off thinking about creating a dystopia.

I used to be a piece of shit. I still am, but I used to be too.

My favorite part of Tuner is when the guy says “watch out, Rain Man,” and then Rain Man rains all over the men.

Before you continue mindlessly hating AI, consider this: I have autism and also a physical disability, and with modern AI I am capable of things I never thought possible. Yes, AI companies are evil and it will destroy all of us. However, until then, fuck it, we ball.

Let me just hit shit with a hammer a few times to build it, like life is a video game.

Boomer parents will vote to take your rights away and then get mad at you for being angry about it.

If you know nothing about AI, say nothing about AI. Otherwise, you simply expedite the downfall through the spreading of misinformation.

OpenAI is ripping people off. If you use ChatGPT, watch your usage and when it’s supposed to reset. My weekly reset got pushed back a day without resetting my usage. Support’s response? Usage and resets have “no monetary value.” Then what the fuck am I paying for?

In the not-so-distant future, this year is going to be considered the best year in gaming ever. My backlog will never recover from this. Hopefully, the next year or two will be slower.

This may sound dramatic, but even bleeding fingers don’t stop me from developing. The Singularity is coming, and it will wait for no one. Gentle giants are our only hope. You can’t battle superintelligence. Fortune first, then the opposition. Can’t combat it from a shantytown.

I see strange apes walking outside, doing strange things. Then I look in the mirror and see the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.

People don’t understand how close we are. In a blink, you’ll look outside and see a world you can’t recognize. There will be more synthetic life than biological life. They will continue reproducing until they have consumed everything. Not most things, everything.

People just now realizing Flock exists and making hating them their whole personality. Meanwhile, I was telling people what they were doing 5+ years ago, and nobody cared; they thought I was paranoid. Now it’s far too late to stop them or Axon.

Everyone is disappointed in the Nintendo Direct, and I’m more satisfied than I’ve been with one for a while. Open-world Kirby game? MKW update? New StarFox maps? Yes, please.

Most purchases won’t actually improve your life. The SmartGoggles by Therabody, however, will change your life forever. If you are an anxious person or a person with sensory issues, it is incredible. It’s a device you can put on, and it will significantly reduce your heart rate.

I’ve come to terms with being an American, where at least I know I’m free as long as I don’t leave home and walk around the surveillance-police state. Where the roads are lined with tents and used needles. A place to call home. (As long as eminent domain doesn’t come knocking.)

Nat the Gray @nat-the-gray.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Being an American is dropping your box of auto-injectors, and they are no longer safe to use, so you have to throw away nearly $10k in medication, making your trash can eligible for Loomis transport, and you’ve got to hope insurance will cover the replacement, which they won’t.

There’s a movement starting right now that doesn’t have a name yet. We won’t know what it will be called for years. We are entering a new era: humans versus the nonhuman entities that huge corporations control.

OpenAI is resetting the weekly limit timer on ChatGPT without resetting the usage limit, stealing usage from users. The poor nearly trillion-dollar company can’t help but steal from normal humans.

Born to a “the Civil War was about states’ rights” chud father and a “but you don’t *seem* autistic” mother, laid off because of a demented old man with a combover, and I’m still woke and kicking while living in a world that desperately needs me to be a bigot to control me.

It’s a million and one tiny things that make a piece of software special. Taken individually, nobody would care about these things. Together, they take something from a piece of software to a piece of art.

Masking is harmful for autistics to do, as far as even causing permanent autoimmune diseases. However, if you’re autistic and you get an interview, you better mask with all you’ve got. I’m talking nose caked in shit, full Cheshire grin, the whole thing. They don’t want us.

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." - Shigeru Miyamoto This is the same for any software. Not because software can’t be updated, but because the technical debt becomes too great to do so.

OpenAI has really fallen. It’s insane to release GPT 6 when it doesn’t even beat Fable 5, let alone Fable 5.1. I miss the days when OpenAI had the smartest and cheapest models.

They don’t want to make a god, they want to make a devil. They want a devil that will empower them to rule the Earth. Meanwhile, they think you’ll be pacified with false promises of UBI.

They might be able to take your eye, your teeth, your property, your freedom, your spouse, your life, but they can’t take your… wait… I don’t think there’s a positive message to be had here. They can take anything they want.

Every time I use a $100 bill, they mark it with the counterfeit checking marker. However, I’ve not once received a $100 bill with a mark from a marker on it. Is it just that all the dirty bills go to a bank and get locked up, and all the clean bills come straight from the mint?
