A professional geek. This one time, on Jeopardy, I got to respond correctly with "What is Nine Inch Nails?" and it made my day. This profile consists mainly of three things: #Jeopardy, #FFXIV, #simracing twitch.tv/zer0bandwidth

I saw that look on my dad's face a lot, toward the end of his life. It was the look of a man no longer capable of comprehending the world around him.

A little known fact about the CARS universe, is that post-World War 2 many Volkswagens, BMWs and Mercedes fled to Cargentina to avoid the Nuremberg Time Trials

I mean, I *guess* that's *one* way to frame the utter and total destruction of Americans' ability to save money for retirement.

Sitting at my desk and suddenly wishing that Sir Patrick Stewart were on Cameo, so I could humbly request a dramatic reading of the line, "Give me fuel. Give me fire. Give me that which I desire!" Because that is the sort of self-torture my brain inflicts on me when it's allowed an idle moment. 🤓😅

Largo and Naphyr are now older than I was when I first imagined them. Naphyr first appeared in a D&D campaign in 2001. Largo was a replacement character in a Planescape campaign in 2003. Jeeeeebus, I'm old.

They want to call it Super Intelligence instead of Artificial Intelligence because they don't want to be constantly reminded that it's fake and they will remain as stupid as they always were; they instead want to feel superior to the people whom they know are, and always will be, naturally smarter.

My local station just cut off tonight's #Jeopardy episode less than a second after the last FJ wager was revealed, before Ken had even finished saying it aloud, because they are smart and great at their jobs. 🙄

I got up this morning thinking about chilling out and playing games. One side of the sink has been full of dishes for, like, a year. So I settled in to just do the dishes. That led to discovering that the disposal is broken and clogged. The universe is making me regret being responsible today.

I was seated at the deli next to some old guy proudly wearing a red hat emblazoned with "TRUMP 2028", and, dear reader, I am now safely home, having neither spat on his food, nor peppered him with obscenities, nor slapped his ignorant face, nor tripped him on his way out the door. Please clap.

Maybe the average AI evangelist is motivated by a deep dissatisfaction with his previous interactions with humanity. And maybe those interactions were dissatisfying because the average AI evangelist is an irredeemably narcissistic piece of shit who lacks both introspection and empathy.

Need any other reasons to abandon all Meta platforms immediately?
Two posts from Laura Bassett.

"Someone just sent me a Chase ad that features an AI version of me. What do I do?"

"Okay. Apparently Meta updated its terms so that they can use your photos and videos to generate AI versions of you that your friends can see in ads."

Watching #WheelOfFortune is weird this week. Were the contestants and audience still hearing Mr Chat Room in the studio? Have they credited the emergency voiceover guy yet? What other Magic of Television has been edited in?

If there's one thing we can learn about the administration's recent reactions to @atrupar.com is that Mr Trump is working ever harder to surround himself with young white blonde girls who remind him of his daughter. Pardon me while I go throw up.

It's a shame that no news outlet will just play this on a loop for the entire day today. He was a psychopathic megalomaniacal piece of ████ then, and he's a psychopathic megalomaniacal piece of ████ now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6yc...

Did Trump brag he had the "tallest building in Manhattan" after the 9/11 attacks?

Sorry for the hyper-local blurt, but it's so funny so see Shannon Taylor taking an opportunity to dunk on (coughs for emphasis) convicted child sex offender Joe Morrisey in state-wide campaign ads. He's not even running for office. He just deserves to be perpetually dunked on. #RVA

Just wanted to watch #StrangeNewWorlds but apparently that would now require me to hand over all my personal info to Paramount so they can deliver more tailored ads to our formerly ad-free experience, and the only way to opt out is to cancel. So I guess I can never watch ST:SNW again. 🤷

If the three big AI chatbots stay down and die, absolutely nothing of value will have been lost. I'm being neither insincere nor hyperbolic. What do they actually do? Burn an obscene amount of computational resources to give you maybe-fake results to questions you could have answered yourself.

These are the kids who never listen in class, and always hand in papers full of big words, in an attempt to hide the fact that they don't actually say anything, except that every one of those big words is also misused in a way that makes it obvious that the kid never learned what it actually means.

Bought a PC for my daughter. Brought it home. Hooked it up. It's a dud. Crashed during initial setup, now it's permanently confused. Might be a faulty SSD, might be an OS image so corrupted it can't recover. Cool, cool. Lovely Tuesday evening. #FirstWorldProblems

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

Heya #TTRPG / #RPG and #DnD crowd! I wanted to yap a bit about #Goblins in my setting, which I put a bit of info in my first setting book, Tideshear, available now on @drivethrurpg.com (Shameless Plug.) I DO love me a #Goblin, maybe more accurately "Goblinoid," but always felt they needed work. 1/12

Yeah, kick out all those nasty immigrants, and send them right back to their countries of origin, with all their specialized knowledge that got them here in the first place and has probably only improved while they were here. That'll show 'em. Yep. God I'm so ashamed of this government.
