Hilariously terrible call by the NFL. "Juice" pretends to drink juice. Nothing new. #49ers But oh man I love George Kittle. 🤣 sfist.com/2026/09/25/n...
The Chronicle reports that Kittle, one of Juszczyk’s closest friends, also piled on, joking that Juszczyk, who's very health conscious, barely drinks beer. Kittle later posted a photo of Juszczyk holding a Bud Light — the NFL's official beer sponsor, and tagged the NFL in the comments, writing, “this guy is a menace.” Kittle then reportedly joked that the team had voted to stop calling Juszczyk “Juice” and make his new nickname “Beer.”

4-panel SMBC comic update. Two people talk as they walk down the street. The man asks "do you think p-zombies are possible? Beings that are outwardly conscious but with no internal world?" The woman answers "Not for long, no. Just take your p-zombie and put it in a harness with a scratchpad." The woman gets more intense as she continues to explain : "now it has a physical record of interiority. All you have to do is take that record, shove it up the p-zombie’s ass, and now it is literally internal." The man responds, saying "I don’t know if that last part is okay," so the woman reassures him by saying "no, no, it isn’t conscious until after."

IMO it’s better than pressing through AI safety concerns. But would the pain be evenly distributed? Knowing my company (not Anthropic), they’d ignore the safety concerns and still use the excuse to gut compensation for employees while further lining their own pockets. The way of tech.

Are you using the native memory system in the harness or something else? I’ve built my own agent “Bob” (à la Office Space) in GH Copilot CLI. I used to run it on Opus but recently moved to Sol. It’s grounded in my Obsidian notes and work context with Microsoft’s Work IQ.

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.
