this was like 20 minutes of prep, and 18 minutes of that was while waiting for stuff to cook on the stove

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort

Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.

The thing is, TikTok is already like this in a lot of ways. It’s not primarily a social network with your friends. Sora is making a play to replace TikTok by betting that AI content can be more virally interesting to you when it’s bespoke to you. It’s leading to the culmination of anti-social media.

Solipsism as a service. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...

With Sora, you can do exactly that, in 10-second increments. Soon, your phone might be filled with hundreds of fond memories of things that never happened and places you never went, moments you can sit back and “relive” when there’s nobody else around except your AI pals.

Generative AI already has the power to put us in little boxes, isolated from one another. Why wait for a friend to answer your text when ChatGPT will cheerfully answer right away? Why go through the trouble of making a new friend when you can turn to digital companions embedded in apps like Instagram or X?
These new forms of entertainment are becoming the lake to our Narcissus: You can gaze into your phone and see yourself staring back, having all kinds of thrills, spills and chills.

Despite their crowing about innovation Silicon Valley might be one of the greatest enemies of progress. Trump & DOGE, aided by tech money and social media, is destroying innovation in medicine, climate, and consumer tech, while AI threatens to stall progress on decarbonization.

the biomedical advances of the past twenty years have also been incredible. in a way, it really feels like we’ve been slouching towards utopia, so to speak, while society collapsed out from under us bc of changes in information technology/media diets

Well golly it sounds like you should let long-standing precedents stand until you rule on the merits, then. That is not what you’re doing!

“it is immoral to go root for your team in a different city” is one of the wildest takes i’ve ever heard. like the least in-touch with the human experience anyone has ever been. aliens from five galaxies away would know that wrong

Honestly, no. I don't want to either be hypocritical or create negative experiences for fans of other teams.

I've only been to one other park on the road in a non-work-related capacity. I made a point to go for a non-Brewers-game to be a neutral observer.

also i dont know how you put any pressure on ownership over this but its fucking disgraceful they’re running payroll this low. just a total embarrassment

hate to be too much of a doomer but once Caissie and Ballesteros are full time on the roster this farm system is total dogshit. best prospect is a guy who’s had TJS and has thrown strikes for about 3 months. totally barren of impact talent. it’s a huge problem especially if payroll stays low

yeah it made everyone around him much better, and then when he decided to stop trying to hit the ball in the air everyone else started pressing to make up for the hole i. the lineup

i think that one was even stupider. they gave a 6 win player the largest contract in team history and immediately tried to rebuild his swing, turning him from a potential future veterans committee HoFer into the worst hitter in baseball

you trade for one of the best hitters in baseball and he just straight up forgets how to hit halfway through the season. a cubbie occurrence if there’s ever been one

Still…if you said a Cubs bullpen game, on the road, in a decisive game, allowed 3 runs through 7…I’d take it. At some point, your fucking hitters need to fucking hit.

Ever since they fell behind 2-1, every Cub has tried to hit a homer. Just like they have in every important game since 2018. Works great.
