This is just a fucking carjacking. How the hell was he supposed to know it was a state sponsored carjacking. what the fuck are we doing here.

Probably obvious, but a lot of publishing people think the rapid fall in nonfiction sales is primarily due to AI. Makes sense when you remember how popular self-help type are and how many people will now, say, ask ChatGPT for child rearing advice instead of buying How to Raise a Kid books.

my bad my bad

dang, no, I didn't

but when I call Fox News and tell them about my journey through the fractal patterns on my friend's rug (which FELT like 18 days, at least) where I met a machine god (which might have been an ant? or a misplaced shard of potato chip?) I'm dismissed as a lunatic

why would you cite a survey of parents and not children to uncover the behavior of the children

that kind of discovery requires a different world of in-depth reviews and critical essays in a sphere of independent magazines and bloggers &c. in the absence of a robust bookish internet of this kind, what you get is books that vanish into the dark and can at best hope to be "rediscovered" some day

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Final Fantasy XIV is great because what if I told you the little lizard guy in the middle of the screenshot was the king of this neon soaked cyberpunk metropolis?

this is fucking stupid just don't allow it

THE SEGWICK COUNTY ZOO PRINTED OUT MY DRAWING OF THE BABY TAWNY FROGMOUTH AND GAVE IT TO THE KEEPERS AND SHOWED IT TO THE FROGMOUTH ITSELF!!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!! 💕💕💕💕

Narnia books as Isekai Manga

If you're still on the fence about whether AI is good or bad for society, consider this: The fascists desperately want it

it should be illegal for so many video games I want to play to release at the same time

holy shit, this is the whole ballgame in a single paragraph gAI systems require mass theft of copyrighted works, for the explicit purpose of replacing the market for the people they stole from, and the people in charge knew what they were doing ahead of time, and did it anyway

The trouble with the rationalists isn't the polyamory, and it isn't precisely the freaky sex stuff or the play parties, except inasmuch as all of that stuff is downstream of the actual problem: that they're part of an extremely insular, incestuous millenarian religious movement trying to build God

I keep seeing videos of a guy who catches crabs and lobsters, cracks all the barnacles off them, puts a shrimp in their claws and throws them back. can you imagine. abducted by aliens but they just give you a spa day and hand you two hot dogs and let you go
