I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

Some of the early swings at this kind of thing, "expert systems" from the 70s, were pretty good at doing medical diagnoses (in the limited situations they were trained on). Kind of interesting.

if you think about it, winning via a direct connection to the divine father of all creation through His appointed emissary on Earth is a much more egregious cheating scandal than banging on trash cans

It is bad for the future of left politics in the United States that the dream so many Americans have is not "live in a country where I am well compensated for my labor" but "acquire enough wealth so that I can have Passive Income as a landlord"

I'm sure he's talking about the auto start/stop thing. I would have sidestepped this problem by making it functionally illegal to buy anything other than a hybrid in like...2005.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

in my teens my dad bought a work van from the local auto parts store when it was closing down for $900. I have no idea how many miles that thing had on it, but it was a lot. I drove it frequently, and almost nothing worked in the van, except for this, god's own inline-6.
