LLMs ‘think’ differently and do many tasks as well or even better than humans do, often faster. The problem is that it’s most annoying boosters expect this to be true of all problems, and the haters glom onto the (very obvious and often very funny) failures that make the boosters look stupid.

My working theory is that the people of the United States have stopped taking the US Government seriously because the US Government has stopped taking itself seriously.

I don't really believe the polls that say that incumbent Republican Greg Abbott is in danger of losing his governor's race this fall but it's clear that Abbott's team does.

Many players' aversion to the *idea* of losing a battle is greater than their aversion to marching 10 minutes out of a dungeon to buy more healing supplies, so they freely dump Per Rest abilities in every fight, rest after every fight, and then curse the designers for making them go back to town.

There’s a lot of reasons I couldn’t be a pro quarterback but one of them is because I would lose my mind if I kept hitting recievers right in the numbers and they kept dropping the ball.

If the other team’s penalty gives you less than a yard of field position, you should also be granted a free down.

For the statement “the Democratic Party is more evil than it was in 1996” to be true you have to assume “evil” includes some combination of LGBTQ rights, expanding healthcare, criminal justice reform, abortion, and green energy/climate

At a game dev summit and someone told the story of how they used AI to do a major engine migration estimated to take a man-year in only two weeks with about a day of the CTO’s full attention.

Alternatively, candidates matter. Possible Example: AES is less popular than 'generic democrat' and Susan Collins has ALWAYS outperformed the election environment.

“The Sims” is a top ten ranking game franchise of all time and it’s only high budget copycat was Playboy themed Because the people funding games don’t understand markets they don’t play.

The thing that systems designers should understand about AI coding is that now every time you say 'fuck, this would be a lot easier if I had a tool', five minutes later, you have a tool.

For the first time ever I am looking for a CROWDED movie theater to see a movie in. My kid expressed interest in Endgame and I know its a longshot, but if even if there was a CHANCE at seeing some of that crowd energy again, it would blow his mind.

NO!!! Electing a majority that's big enough so that Joe Manchin (or, say, John Fetterman) isn't the 50th vote is what keeps them from defining party priorities!

AND voluntarily giving up the president's unique bully pulpit 40 days before a major election is a spectacularly stupid thing to do.

Someday Bijan Robinson is going to find himself on a team with an offensive line and literally any other threats at all, and then he's gonna be an absolute monster.

Yes, the world is a smoldering trash fire on the brink of collapse, but my wife found a grocery store that still sells Newman's Own Sockarooni Spaghetti Sauce, so at least for tonight, everything's gonna be okay.

I keep wanting to write a long ranty thread about politics, but it comes to this: Political purity is poison. Bluesky politics don't match real life. Stop being fucking stupid. The elections in 40 days. Support every D like they're your perfect candidate, yell at them after we win. IF we do.
