I was wondering why SciAm was putting out pretty blatant AI boosterism, so that explains it

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Thinking about it, this probably came from reading @ckunzelman.bsky.social 's Assassin's Creed book before bed and my brain just throwing all the Assassin/Templar/ancient humanity stuff in a blender

Overheard this same kid telling himself "There are people who aren't as fast as you. You have to be patient with them." Further evidence that he's a young hero in training.

There's a kid in my neighborhood who is always running. Yesterday I saw him stop, pull out a tiny bound notebook, open to the center and quickly scan the contents with a look of deep contemplation. He tapped the page with the back of his hand, said "Yes. Become stronger," and broke back into a run

There's a lot of dumb shit here but I do feel the pedantic need to point out that Dr Manhattan said literally the exact opposite of this

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

It was nice. A real illustration of that "person in real life: hey man how's it going" tweet. Just a nice normal interaction on a walk through town.

who lives in town and wanted to go hang out on the national mall. We had a nice chat, they asked what I do for work and kind of chuckled sympathetically when I told them. We did some eye-rolling about the current state of things and I told them some cool museums to check out.

The other day walking back to the office from grabbing coffee I was asked for help getting oriented from an older couple who were way east of where they thought they were on the map. I walked with them for a bit til we got to an easier spot to direct them from. They were visiting their daughter

Workshopping her next diss track

#Hades2
Fanart of Scylla from Hades 2 dressed in a casual blue and yellow puffy jacket with Chronos' symbol on the shoulder, a grey crop top and grey pants, with her head tentacles tied back in a loose messy ponytail. She is wearing big round reading glasses and is holding a notepad in one hand, looking at it in mild frustration, while loosely chomping the end of a pencil hanging from the corner of her mouth. Her other hand is tucked away in the pocket of the jacket. There are some random bubbles hanging around her.

The complete absence from Tron: Ares of any of the characters from Legacy strongly implies to me that instead of mess around with all this ENCOM business, Sam just decided to leave it all behind and just go date Olivia Wilde somewhere, and frankly, who can blame him
