My mom recorded a poorly animated Richard Scarry TV special where a wolf breaks into a house and kidnaps some kids, and that shit was Richard Scary AF.

LLMs are good at being "a guy with no chill about a subject" but with some chill. Half the reason I use them for programming related questions is to avoid having to interact with the kind of people who answer questions on stackoverflow.com.

On the bright side, this might make using AI so embarrassing that the military will stop.

I know @cwtycho.penny-arcade.com didn't write the phrase "from whence." It was extracted from him, unwilling. "We require more Vespene Gas," they hissed as they took it.

Firing the 10 guys that prevented lettuce from giving everyone diarrhea was a bad idea, in retrospect. But to be fair at the time nobody knew if lettuce giving everyone diarrhea would be a good thing or a bad thing

Give him a break! Anglican is just diet Catholic: all the ceremony, half the guilt. As much organ, if not more, with way less hangups about ever having sex. Something something all the organ with none of the organ 😏

There's two ways to have a model that's a better programmer than your staff: build a really good model or hire incredibly dumb staff.

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

Texture is an issue. Cherry texture is mid, but they're small so it's less noticeable. Plums not as bad as pears, but they need to take a texture lesson from peaches.

LLMs are not dangerous because of AGI or it becoming Skynet or anything like that, it won't and cannot. It is dangerous because people in power don't understand what it is, they believe the Silicon Valley press releases. They are going to use it in deeply stupid ways. This is the actual danger.

FWIW, we drink so much soda water that we got a Drinkmate. Like a Sodastream, but cheaper and no DRM. You can carbonate anything, not just water.

Personally, I think the Muppets were at their best remaking classics by replacing all but a couple people with muppets. Can't believe that hasn't gotten.more traction in this current Hollywood movement to remake everything.

Variety show, not sure, but plot as loose connective tissue is alive and well. For the Super Mario Galaxy movie, they clearly started with bits and one liners they wanted to include and reverse engineered the plot to be whatever strung those parts together.
