What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

“ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, ‘Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode’”

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Ok so when Microsoft was making the first Xbox I was doing Flash ads for them and they had an 800 page brand standards binder and when I used a green that was, and I quote, 6% off, I got my ass chewed out. Fucking losers now. Have some goddamn self respect.
The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.

At Amsterdam airport on a LA-bound flight, I got a random check as always. This time, as soon as security opened my backpack, I got hit by the strongest weed smell I'd ever smelled.
I've never used any drugs. It wasn't mine.
Nervous, I glanced at the person behind me, and Snoop Dogg nodded back.

i'm constantly thinking about how one person's decision to make the pole position countdown sound effect 3 short beeps and 1 one long beep was so singularly influential that not only is it simply a given to add it into basically every racing game by default but people expect it in real races too
The importance and influence of Pole Position is incredible. Consider: within the same 9-month stretch that Namco released Galaga and Dig Dug, two games that innovated and pushed their genres forward, they also released Pole Position, a chase-cam, faux 3D racing title with sprite scaling. In 1982.
XP Arcade: Pole Position
One of the most influential games ever, Pole Position is another classic from Namco's golden age in the arcade.
