well I mean theres the House of Lords, and the Royal Family,

Tommy Robinson is a literal fucking thug. Musk wouldn’t last 5 fucking minutes in a Milwall footy brawl

I won’t say AI doesn’t have its edgecase uses, and I know people sneer at “prompt engineering” - but you really gotta put as much if not more effort into the prompt as it would to make a dumb if-case machine.

Several paragraphs explaining and contextualizing the AI’s role, then the task at hand, then how you want the output to be, and any additional input. It should be at least 10 substantial paragraphs - but even then you’ve probably not got a bunch of checks for edgecases, errors, formatting, malicious intent from the user…

It’s a less secure, less specific, less technical, higher risk, higher variable, untrustworthy “programming language” interface that enveigles and abstracts the interaction with the data and processors. It is not a person.

ah back in my day we didn’t need an app or to even be out to get the shit kicked out of us for being gay*

funnily enough my bullies knew better I was gay* than I did

pick up sticks

I disagree that tech is more left wing, a lot of them are very religious - evangelical or Mormon or believe in ultra capitalistic Ayn Rand fantasies.

counterpoint: Donald Trump

all immigration is a net benefit, I’ve been waiting to see how, like every other right wing govt in the history of history, this one pretends they hate immigrants while not doing anything about it in a way that looks like they are doing something about it.

And that’s it, that’s the gig.

the chains of satnav: when it sends you on a detour that you know is slower than your way

The first d2 dlc - curse of Osiris - was bad so I played a lot less, then with the dreaming city they started it so other players advanced the story in my world. So now I’m no longer the cool #1 Guardian who saved the world: that is canonically the first fireteam to finish the 24h world first raid race. Not a terrible crime but it breaks one’s immersion when it feels like Zavala and Ikora are coming to me because Gladd and Sweatsicle aren’t available.

Then they vaulted all the content, kept digging deeper into the bad jokes unfunny humor, and added FOMO seasonal content that although nothing gets sunset/vaulted any more - if you can’t play for a few weeks you miss out on major characters dying or whole arcs being finished without you.

I know this is much memed on - I have 97 kids and can only play 4 seconds a month… - but honestly, it sucks. I can still play side quests in skyrim… ff12… fallout 1… balders gate 2… from decades ago - but not AAA game Destiny 2? Bullshit man.

The poem about AI that often gets posted says “What are you trying to avoid? The living [of a life]?”

And yeah, that’s what it’s for, dodging shit you don’t want to do. I gotta produce some useless bullshit that no one’s going to read or care about: AI.

I don’t even mind AI art for things like LinkedIn posts, blogs like “What is warehouse management?” or “Top 10 finance trends in 2025” - SEO spam that no human will read. No one wants to write it, read it, or care about it- its just a x kb file to tell Google to look here.

the problem is, we still gotta beat Trump.

I dont think anyone knows if actual leftist messages will actually work, but holy shit it’s gotta be better than diet, no caffeine, low sodium fun size Bill Clinton Zero.

It makes me laugh that the idea of hiring 18 people that continually fuck up so bad you have to fire a different one every week until you’re left with the least fuck up is in any way a good businesses decision.

the original scene in the Sopranos is about Christopher Columbus, so…

at least he’s stopped trying to be funny 🤷‍♂️

Labour government.

That’s from Waits’ stage adaptation of the famous German unfinished manuscript Woyzeck (Voy-chek), it was a song from act 1 setting the scene in which a working class man would be toyed with and experimented on by high society and the army, driven to madness and killing his wife and himself.

I looked it up there were 3,575 non-citizen births in Canada in 2023.

I couldn’t find any numbers on how many were deliberate

I just watched a compilation of all the deaths a few months back. That’s all you really remember afterwards anyway (first movie excluded, which was actually pretty good)

I’ve had some soul searching moments even just being stoned. I can see it.
