the new version of mcdonalds monopoly is a shell of its former glory. instead of the pieces being stickers you put on a board you get at the restaurant, it's all on the app. you don't even have to hold onto the pieces.

even the prizes suck. they just say "YOU WON FOOD value $1.79-$2.39"

This is the thing about ai. The benefits are nebulous hypotheticals but the costs are very high and immediate

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

legos, sports cards, and board games all went from being "kid stuff" to massively adult-ified megahobbies over the last 30 years. and guess what, shitting your pants is next

Kreepy Rice Krispies (2001-2001): A special Halloween release, this cereal featured dyed-orange Rice Krispie pieces, with marshmallow bones, skulls, and ghosts.

Also, Crackle looks rightfully wary about entering a haunted house with a bowl of cereal the size of a small swimming pool!

A dark blue cereal box that says "Kreepy Rice Krispies" with "Kreepy" in a chiller font. The box looks like the entry of a haunted house, with a skeleton and Frankenstein monster getting into a green cereal bowl the size of a swimming pool, filled with orange rice krispies and ghost/skull marshmallows

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
