On the one hand, Muse is vibe coded slop malware. On the other hand you could get a $32 check in 10 years if you let it build a stasi file on you and everyone you know or meet.

Hey smart people of Bluesky, where do I look for good academic resources on folklore studies? Or any good books in that vein that I should add to my TBR? 📚📜

Question for folk who are more versed in Discord—is there a way to block and/or ignore where Discord *doesn't* show you this "1 blocked message" icon? I keep running in circles through FAQs that don't seem to be up to date, and/or are only for mobile rather than desktop.

Pity the mid-level dev who is talking down to me because they clearly don't know the answer. They're about to learn that I once had a similar tech role & know how to do root cause analysis They have 1 more chance to respond. I'd take, "I don't know but will find out," but ego will prevent that

I just feel like if you design a piece of technology and you're like "wow! This technology doesn't do what we want a lot of the time and we aren't really sure how it works!" that isn't a brag that's just a sign you're really bad at your job

Very this. Writing romance is a specific skill set and I suspect that the snobs who deride it as "easy" or the books as "easy money" would write very, very bad stories that romance readers would be rightfully annoyed by.

in your next zoom interview have not only a cup of ice coffee but seven or eight different cups of various beverages just off camera and casually drink from each of them throughout the interview the drinks should have fancy straws or colorful parasols or large pieces of fruit on the edge of the cup

THIS. AI isn't "going rogue" any more than those exploding Samsung galaxy phones from 2016 went rogue. Human engineers poorly deployed a technology and there were negative consequences. The responsibility falls entirely on humans.

Played penny ante poker in college. Lots of fun. Big winnerd made $20-$25 dollars. It is thrilling when the big loser can't lose a lot. Fun with bragging rights. Problem is that sports betting and prediction market apps aren't penny ante. They break people, leveraging addiction to make money
