I am the journeyer from the valley of the dead Sega consoles. With the blessings of Sega Saturn, the gaming system of destruction, I am the Scout of Silence… Sailor Saturn.
Why would I pay to watch bad Southpark episodes when I can watch them for free on comedy central’s website?
Our real goal is to have 10 million AIs living in the virtual world getting smarter over time until one of them has a sort of Promethean breakthrough and actually becomes the first AI virtual being.
Ah it’s all part of their plot to bring Kenny to life as an all powerful digital mind.
Copilot will be given a little avatar with a “room” and will “age”. In other words: we have now reached the Microsoft Bob stage of the AI bubble.
Meanwhile I have to do code reviews on patches that have been actually written by a chatbot and doing that takes sometimes as long as writing the whole fucking code from scratch.
Yeah I’ve had to do this too. It’s lovely isn’t it? You do all the work and someone else who half-assed a prompt and sent out a change without even reading it gets most of the credit.
I can honestly say that I have never played Umamusume Pretty Derby because on my PC the sound keeps cutting out and the cutscenes don’t play which greatly disappointed me.
The Supabase homepage implies AI bros are two levels below “beginner”, which I found somewhat amusing:
The Gentle Singularity - Sam Altman
This entire blog post is sneerable so I encourage reading it, but the TL;DR is:
We’re already in the singularity. Chat-GPT is more powerful than anyone on earth (if you squint). Anyone who uses it has their productivity multiplied drastically, and anyone who doesn’t will be out of a job. 10 years from now we’ll be in a society where ideas and the execution of those ideas are no longer scarce thanks to LLMs doing most of the work. This will bring about all manner of sci-fi wonders.
Sure makes you wonder why Mr. Altman is so concerned about coddling billionaires if he thinks capitalism as we know it won’t exist 10 years from now but hey what do I know.
I found this footnote from Sam Altman’s blog amusing in light of your comment:
*By using the term AGI here, we aim to communicate clearly, and we do not intend to alter or interpret the definitions and processes that define our relationship with Microsoft. We fully expect to be partnered with Microsoft for the long term. This footnote seems silly, but on the other hand we know some journalists will try to get clicks by writing something silly so here we are pre-empting the silliness…
Bonus: He also appears to think LLM conversations should be exempt from evidence retention requirements due to ‘AI privilege’ (tweet).
Now I’m all for privacy, and this is a good reminder that ‘the cloud’ is not as private as maybe it should be. But clearly AI privilege is not a thing that should exist.
Dude came up with an entire “obviously true” “proof” that music has no value, and then when asked how he defines “value” he shrugs his shoulders and is like 🤷♂️ money I guess?
This almost has too much brainrot to be 100% trolling.
Today in linkedin hell:
Xbox Producer Recommends Laid Off Workers Should Use AI To ‘Help Reduce The Emotional And Cognitive Load That Comes With Job Loss’
https://aftermath.site/xbox-microsoft-layoffs-ai-prompt-chatgpt-matt
including possible effects on the protocols from issues like such as AI fuzzing attempts, to social engineering by AI’s,
“You know those massive problems we already had going back decades? Well what if the same problems happened in the future but with the letters ‘A’ and ‘I’ prepended? Scary!”
through to how we deal with and approach and facilitate Avatars and Agents.
Gosh darn it don’t tell me LLM hype is going to ruin the existing definition of “agent” already well established in web standards.
Alright that’s it: anime streaming needs to return to fansubbing (note: this link contains a skintight anime bosom so don’t open it in front of your boss unless your boss is chill)

The one human-written slop text I’ve read in my life was a textbook for a philosophy 101 class. The text was wordy and meandering to the point of being almost unreadable.
The whole department was corrupt though. The textbook was written by the dean, expensive, and was filled with exercises on perforated pages that had to be ripped out and turned in (no photocopies allowed, and hence no secondhand market for the book). The teacher also showed obvious favoritism towards Christian students and found a way to make the entire class about god.
So anyway that’s why I never minored in Philosophy.
Before LLMs came along no one cared what tools I did or didn’t use at work. Hell will freeze over before I let a text predictor write code for me even if that eventually costs me a job. I’m the sort who can’t stand any sort of auto-completion or other typing “help”, much less spending all my time reviewing LLM output.
Sure maybe the “Showcase” link doesn’t do anything, the “Watch video” link goes to a password protected file, and none of the “Learn More” buttons do anything; but at least they tell you who invested in them as the very first thing on the page!
Also haha I clicked on the blog and this was at the top of the first post:
Here’s a Substack post draft that introduces videogame.ai with a compelling and engaging tone suitable for readers interested in games, tech, or the future of creative work:
New use case for AI found: extracting money from venture capital without actually doing any real work.
We should improve society somewhat.
Yet you participate in society. Curious!
Yeah I saw that but had completely forgotten about it in the meanwhile because I have the memory of a goldfish.
In the grand scheme of things there are worse controversies, but I would so love an enthusiast browser that is, well, “woke” rather than one having a faint stink of techbro worldview about it.
