The instinct of management is to blame those pesky workers rather than AI being shit, because the AI mandate comes from the bosses, and the first priority of management is to ensure compliance and mete out punishment.

The failure of a project is in many ways a success for justifying a purge.

Two experiences in my personal life have done this for me: when I lost a lot of weight and suddenly everyone was super nice to me, and when I came out as nonbinary and everyone started picking ridiculous fights with me and being unbelievably rude. It’s like—“That’s all it takes?”

This is genius, because every time I saw this I would reflexively say "haha, dumpsters". You can't buy that mental real estate.

Learning a lot about malware history, and for some reason the story always starts off with something like "So, Windows had this stupid fucking feature that was fundamentally flawed..."

Burger is the meat, not the format. The format is sandwich. Chicken burgers do not exist.

It is the google chrome of media players in that it's what people who don't know any better install because they heard it was better than the system default.

While making a colorblindness tool recently, I discovered how BS most online colorblindness tests are, so I put in some time.

Here’s a real test. Citations are linked. Max your monitor brightness, and make sure any blue filters are off (no “night mode”) 👀

The main problem with checking AI outputs for errors is that you need to have an idea of what you actually wanted it to do.

Most people use AI as a *substitute* for having to figure that out.

Okay let me tweak the prompt. Maybe it's my negatives. This LoRA works with this model, right? Do I need to switch to SDXL for this? Just gimme a minute, it doesn't freak out like this. I think the detailer is having issues. Actually this model bugs out at higher resolutions, let me try a different

Watching Artemis II at the same time as everything else going on felt heartbreaking. Theres is a younger version of me in my head that still enjoys things, and it closed its box of space toys, with their little American flags, and walked out of the room for good

I'm baffled by this, because copyright is VERY heavily policed in Japan, and rightsholders are typically the biggest warriors against AI training.

every high level speedrunner understands how essential shitty hypothetical arguments are to the vibes of a world record breaking run. If you don't have some insane chat member positioning the stupidest words to man, you're almost always gonna choke at the 3 hour mark.

The rationale for the Bitcoin mortgage (as with any pledged asset mortgage) is that the borrower won’t have to realize capital gains like the would if they sold Bitcoin to help buy a house.

This is really part of the larger, growing consensus in America that no one should ever pay taxes ever
