AI is a machine which shows you stuff you didn’t know existed and pretend it created it from whole cloth and you believe it if you don’t check it.

I’m hoping that every Starbucks is actually a Star*ucks. Just pure escort missions all night long.

I think it’s kinda weird she’s adapting it in the first place but that’s cause I think she could be using better source material.

i think it's ridiculous that they couldn't find an actual lion-who-is-Jesus actor to play the role

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

I was on the internet before the web and it was glorious. The web only made it even better.

That’s the thing, he’s already helped make the systems the people will spend his own money on if we tax it, think making him seem even richer! He can’t fucking lose here.

AI and fascism go together because both will bulldoze the truth to promote themselves and the idea.

This is why deadlifts are crap and picking up sacks of potato are the proper exercise. Also this kid shouldn't be going limp but that does make it funny.

I've looked into it and really the biggest problem is the app store guidelines for publishing stuff. Also it's still not possible to produce a freestanding stack all on the phone because... reasons. You can get godot for ipad though.

I'm not as mad that people are using AI to do it as there should have already been a better way that was native to the phone. But alas, Apple/Google really don't want people building weird little apps on the phone.

(Probably cause they were too busy building their walled gardens)

People need weird little apps that do dumb stuff like these. Also I don't think we need to boil the oceans to do it. Ye olde hypercard was a great way to build stuff that was simple, easy to use and easy to extend. It's the one thing Apple/Google has failed to deliver us in mobile form.

Steven Toth @toths.info · 04/10/2026
When I see people saying that they want AI to build them weird little apps that do something just for them, I cry in Hypercard.

The worst part is that if you say the writing of the magic box is bad or doesn't make sense then they call you names cause you just don't get it. Sometimes you can't help the illiterate.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

We all remember or make up a history that has varying degrees of truth to them. Though a totally serious Star Trek is a stretch to say the least.

Or my new favorite, doctor a photo to remove a watermark so you don’t have to pay for it or replace the white background without photoshop.

While I think it’s fine to just take your own photo, I also think that using a photoshop clone to put in a stock background in is like 15 minutes of work for even the slowest user. Parents bragging about ripping off photographers after getting a pro shoot done is gross though. F that.

When you think about it from that angle it would be harder to explain why some animals can see outside the area where water is transparent.

I can’t believe we’re in a world where the pope has to remind people that human creation is important even if the results a machine can produce look better sometimes.

The timing of his Iran war was amazingly perfect to give the effects of it the space it needed to trickle through the economy just in time for midterms.

We are doing a complete 180 from the previous decade where Obama wanted everyone to learn to code. Now he wants us all to just manage someone.

OpenAI is hoping that people will build apps that use your own token subscription. What a joke. This 'bring your own compute' is a mess and makes it so that the dev has very little incentive to make their app efficient. x.com/sama/status/...

This stuff is just too expensive to run and people assumed it was going to be an infinite gravy train of free AI compute but it's quickly turning into another set of subscriptions we all need to just exist.

In a very sick way it does make sense if some people think the best way to remain a superpower vs the growing Chinese power is to merge the two previous superpowers.

He did win a tournament once, offscreen in tng, but that was also an episode where he shifted realities so he only won it in some realities.
