Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 3hThe funny thing to me is well before any of this was even remotely possible, the term "artificial intelligence" was coined specifically to be neutral. It was intended to not conjure anything grandiose. It wasn't supposed to be sexy. They knew from the start they could get high on their own supply. 041
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 10hlike do not underestimate their towering blasphemous shipping engines 010
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 10hI feel like there's a lot of different kinds of sicko who still do HP and only SOME of those are vehemently insisting characters stay their assigned genders. 210
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 11hIf machine spirits can be corrupted, Necron personality engrams likely can be too. Maybe a little *unsatisfying* for the average daemon, but it beats boredom. 010
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 12hThe context, at least as those remarks were written and put up on the teleprompter, was that high gas prices were a small price to pay when the alternative was California getting nuked. The "weave" got him midway through reading that off the screen. 000
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026there better be some free cheesy bread in this for you 000
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026the kind that thinks this sort of thing is zero sum 010
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The average English longbow archer was like 4'5" and had arms that could crack a walnut. 090
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026And I think a lot of people forgot that comics-John and comics-Hal *hated each other's guts* when John debuted. Like this whole arc with them earning begrudging respect from each other is very true to the source material. 080
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Oh I gotta keep an eye out for when you liveblog Phantom. 000
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Jurassic Park/World as a franchise keeps coming to the technically correct conclusion that you can't outright own dinosaurs, and considers this a fatal flaw in their multibillion dollar franchise about dinosaurs. Irony so thick you could cut it with a knife. 030
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026James Gunn I am begging you, cast a big tall lady for Wonder Woman. 470
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Also visual language processing is almost certainly something we as a species weren't always able to do this well. We've likely selected for reading ability a lot of generations running. 110
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Maybe they either lack eyes or have very little near-vision. 100
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Like I get that when that speech was written and put up on the teleprompter, it was like "Expensive gas is a small price to pay when the alternative is Iran nuking a major city" but somewhere in the weave that got "which would be kind of cool" attached to it. 010
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Wildly different mindsets, some treating fiction as the intellectual gut flora that helps you figure your shit out. Others treating fiction as a means of doing almost anything other than figuring your shit out, let alone owning your shit. 010
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Major cities being considered acceptable losses to nuclear fire is some real Turner Diaries shit. 120
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I don't know if Sledge hates 'imself that much. Skill issue, to be sure. 020
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm not gonna say we're 100% in the clear, but I am going to say we are blessed with the fact that weeding out the "disloyal" people has led to him being surrounded by a crew of people who are equal to his level of cartoon buffoonery. He's blunted himself because he has no patience for precision. 000
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Doesn't ENTIRELY seem to be working because the guy can't stay on-script to save his life. He's got to let you know he's getting one over on you. 000
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Or, hear me out, he thinks he's discovered that the cheat code to get what he wants without oversight is to claim it's military/national security. Which bears itself out when we've got DoJ lawyers trying to claim the White House press bans are national security too. 200
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026yeah but if you're playing for beer money you might as well have some fun with it 000
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026When Vance pulls stuff like this we desperately need at least one pool reporter to ask "Are you stupid, or do you just hope we are?" 000
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Ooh, like Mr. Wizard, but he eats the kids at the end. 000
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson are in the position where their competition used to be other primetime news anchors and now it's Tim Pool and Candace Owens. So they now basically have to say something truly outrageous every five minutes, or they sink below the Catturd line of notoriety. 030
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Knotley I'm sure someday soon a very special someone will let you paint their Deathstrike missile and that is not a euphemism unless you want it to be 020

Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Lot of things falling into place here. Very concerned by worth, defines a fair bit of his own worth by possessing a high-value girlfriend/fiance. Initially planned on solidifying that by winning (by rigging) the poll that paired him with Asmodea (emphatically Asmodea the role, not Elith the person). 020
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026the "politics of fighting" is what plays in Poughkeepsie right now we want some folks willing to pick fights on our behalf 010
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026(also as an aside I kinda love that there's some visual storytelling going on with the God-Speaker having a dilapidated version of the Warqueen's headdress. Like if you fail to die in glorious battle, eventually the visions the gods give you go weird and you become this.) 010
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I want like an Old World style Warqueen kit. Multiple weapon loadouts, multiple heads, option to make her on foot or riding something gnarly. 200
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026static.klipy.comLord Farquaad: Some of You May DieAlt: Lord Farquaad from Shrek addresses the people: "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make." 020
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026but can we apply the patch to revert her to Woke 1 000
Brian Griffith @qlippot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Having to find the sweet spot on the new shoulders via telepathy drove me a bit nuts, tho. 020
