My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

@tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social THIS IS WHY WE DO NOT WANT IT IN AUSTRALIA

This upcoming all-trans adaptation of Frankenstein by the folks who brought you Re: Dracula and Re: Carmilla features Asha Lloyd (our Indira Raju) as Elizabeth.

Can't wait to hear it. Asha is going to kill it!

Oh and hey, they're crowdfunding right now: www.indiegogo.com/projects/re-...

I'll repeat this until the LLMs bubble finally bursts: We were told NFTs were "the future" "here to stay" and "inevitable"

Where's that market now.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

If there exists a category of people who don't have due process rights, then either there's a process for determining who fits in that category or there isn't. In the first case due process is still being observed for everyone, and in the second it can be denied to anyone. There are no other options

This is my entire spousal relationship except replace Simpsons with 90% of all media ever.

Really enjoyed this one!

A potato plant is more sentient than AI. LLM AI is a plagiarism machine that spews out semi-random nonsense.

This was a proper pageturner and I can't wait to read what Devin writes next

Looks like a fascist lice comb.

I’m not talking about the “AI “actress”” thing because it is so clearly an astroturfed non-story which only benefits from people taking it seriously, even as outrage / distaste. It does not exist. It *will* not exist, at least as executed by these people. I refuse to fall for it.

This might be a long shot, but does anyone know of some video games that can be played ENTIRELY through voice commands (without any pesky modding required)?

A game-loving family member became disabled last year and I know they've been missing video games.

Roshan is one of my favorite people in audio drama (and also one of the most brilliant) - he's supported TAFCON from the very beginning and I'm thrilled that he's speaking!

The fact that highly educated experts tend to reject conservative ideas is an indictment of conservatism not an indictment of academia. MAGA is an anti-rational, anti-intellectual movement, of course intellectuals are going to tear it to shreds.
