This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Halloween movie- all of the protagonists are Halloween-based, and the whole point is that they never figure out how to do Christmas.

strapped to a chair. gun to your head. you are asked a question you MUST answer.

saying "both," "neither," or anything other than the options provided will result in the trigger being pulled.

"Is the Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie, and why?"

what do you say?

The tacky aftermath. #AEWAllOut

Laura Crane @lauracrane.bsky.social · 17d

What.

Laura Crane @lauracrane.bsky.social · 24d

Two shows. Eight trios. Seventeen matches. Seventy+ wrestlers. Several ladders. Five refs. Three victors. One deeply unfortunate Weber grill.

Many stairs. No internet.

@powerprolucha.bsky.social is like nothing else out there.

I love Riverdale about one quarter as much as I love Riverdale jokes

SPOOKY Mistress Usili (Sage) 🏳️‍⚧️ @usili.bsky.social · 25d

imlizy:

I think the funniest thing about Riverdale is that every problem from the murder investigation plotline, to Archie attempting to get over his stage fright and play in the talent show, is treated with the exact same amount of weight and narrative importance, resulting in the funniest show in the world

imlizy:

these are two plotlines in the same episode by the way

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I'm sure you've heard of the Mutter museum, but that seems up your alley.

Lol @lauracrane.bsky.social just reminded me of my most popular tweet ever, which was a parody of a tweet, embedded in a QRT

Screenshot of Kim Spirit's quote-retweet of Matt McMuscles' photo of a life size Jotaro Kujo statue at Comic Con: "another day volunteering at NYCC. everyone keeps asking me if they can fuck the Jotaro statue. buddy, they won't even let me fuck it"

I accidentally made my best friend cry over the weekend by telling her she looked amazing in a picture she sent me. We're all just going through it right now.

(Yes normal my partner inadvertently does this frequently)

Happy Labor Day 🙂

2 shots from tv show Frasier. One shows Frasier holding a sign, "You're Fired." The other shows the producer of his radio show, Roz, holding a sign that says, "I'm union".
