Some tech assholes in Silicon Valley read “Don’t Create the Torment Nexus” as an instruction manual, but they’re not the only ones. Variations: “My Torment Nexus is Open Source and Any Humanities People Complaining Are Just Too Lazy to Learn to Code so They Can Be Smart Like Me and Take Part in This Conversation” “The Only Torment Nexus Here is a San Francisco Hackerspace Without a Code of Conduct” “Sovereign, EU-Funded Torment Nexus” “What You are Referring to as the Linux Racism Machine is Well Actually the GNU/Linux Racism Machine…”

I was just searching for lists of 5-letter nouns. Of course, Google AI pushed its way to the top of the results to offer, among others, 'allow', 'drench', 'script', and 'flight'. Thanks HAL, you're an indispensable, stone-cold brain trauma.
It should be against the law to send feedback-free job application rejections out on Monday morning. Monday is hard enough without *that* email landing in your inbox before you’ve even reached lunchtime.
Trump hijacked a New York campaign rally to whine about losing the Nobel Peace Prize and called Letitia James "a dog." The Nobel committee might consider adding "handles disappointment like a functioning adult" to its selection criteria. #NobelPeacePrize
It's machine learning if it answers math questions. It's artificial intelligence if it writes novel math proofs. It's super intelligence when the contract says you have to call it that.
Jimmy Carr has a book out next year on how comedy works. I greatly enjoyed his first swing at this for Penguin, now out of print, and appreciate the direct competition. Let battle commence. And whatever happens, I’ll be paying the tax on any earnings from mine.
A prince running around an isometric puzzle kingdom is not yuri and also this game came out two years ago and has positive reviews, why send it to an obviously-wrong curator NOW? #CurationWoes
Its cool how in the opening scene of The Desolation of Smaug, Gandalf gives Thorin Oakenshield a flyer for a local black metal show but Thorin is like: "No thanks, those guys are posers, they haven't desecrated any barrows and use way too much synth for my taste."
Maybe the media could stop referring to Russell Brand as a comedian now?
Football would benefit massively if Manchester City's penalties included a demotion to League Two (plus paying all local costs including local security.) Three years of big paydays and big thrills for clubs further down the ladder, local economies boosted, massive schadenfreude dividend.
To the lady at the Bulimba cafe this morning loudly bragging that she has an AI agent doing her job for her now and her bosses will never find out: you're complicating my pro-worker stance.
People forget the concert where Danhausen went viral for bombing was in Los Angeles in front of all the execs WWE invited. That was the exact moment the fad ended. "This is what passes for entertainment these days?"
Legally speaking, AI music is just vaporwave. Though it's several orders of magnitude more ecologically and economically destructive. You could just make vaporwave.
SNL simply has no choice but to have Shane Gillis host twice a year for the rest of time. No one else has his ability to stare directly at the cue cards for his lines like a toddler sounding out Dr. Seuss while combining it with razor-sharp material like "calling stuff gay"
Was reading about mammoths and the fucker said "only one (mammoth) survived" and this feels like ChatGPT nonsense
I want Monster Hunter World as nature documentary. Just have each episode follow one large monster, talking about it and its habitat, then a ten minute fight sequence when it tries to eat the film crew. Get David Attenborough, it'd be like printing money.
Russian bot net going down because of the data center strike? Not real. Rashawn Slater Joe Alt Russian psyops? Absolutely real and I can prove it I just need to avoid baloneys and carry around a Geiger counter for the rest of my life Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
