You know how sometimes in the movies they'll find a serial killer's lair and one of the ways they signal this to the audience is that the guy will have like 800 journals filled with dense angular handwriting?

This reads like one of those.

Do you have one of those wire cone things people use to grow tomatoes in? You could wrap some lights around it and be done.

Dig into software and you'll still find references to "carriage return" and "line feed."

So they're stuck endlessly trying to serve the high value/high stakes quadrant, with a product that fundamentally by its nature is not able to solve high-stakes problems.

They're building a billion-dollar hammer to try to force a square peg into a round hole.

Nobody wants to touch low value/high stakes for obvious reasons.

AI companies would love to serve the high value/low stakes quadrant, but it basically doesn't exist.

Low value/low stakes (e.g. setting up a hundred shitty SEO fake product review sites) filled up immediately; but by definition you don't make much money from it.

Hah. You can make a quadrant of problems people try to solve with AI as low/high stake (how important is it to get it right) versus low/high value (how much are people willing to pay for it.)

I had a toilet mouse a couple of months ago. Thank the powers that be that it wasn't a rat, but it was still pretty alarming since I didn't discover it until I was sitting down.

The average person has one* testicle and one* ovary.

*Approximately.

If memory serves, it was someone who for convoluted reasons I no longer remember happened to have a gallon jug of vanilla extract.

I was mostly surprised that it actually baked into a more or less solid cake-like object, rather than hot vanilla slurry.

Plus one of the things we've learned from Trump is that even a president who doesn't have popular support or Congress on his side can still do a LOT of damage, especially if he's willing to just blatantly do things that are illegal.

I'm kind of charmed by the Toronto Blue'ns.

Show me the list of traits and characteristics that billionaires have in common and everyone else *doesn't*, and we'll be getting somewhere.

Like, a lot of billionaires actually do work long hours, so they think that working hard is the key to success. But they aren't working any harder or longer hours than the person holding down three minimum-wage jobs just to keep food on the table.

Ah, yes, I remember when the theater kids broke into everyone's houses and stole all the copies of old RPG rulebooks and burned them and passed a law making it illegal to ever play them again.
