I was talking to a very drunk Republican girl the other day. We were having a small argument about why we would send medical support to Africa for AIDS. Her argument was something about fixing America first (I was also drunk). I asked if sh

It's not really similar to your idea, but your idea unlocked a memory of playing Gizmos and Gadgets as a kid. Edit: So I decided to go and play it on an online archive site. It's just as fun as I remember.

You're not wrong. But if I'm paying $70 for a game, I'm definitely going to be annoyed if the trees look like they were pulled from Ocarina of Time.

I have an ongoing chat in chatGPT where it's instructed to every once in a while ignore my question and just respond with "Shut up, nerd."

Now I'm curious about training a bot on my IRC logs from the early 2000s. It'd be like a chat time machine. I'd love to go back and bullshit with long-lost online friends about modding Halo:CE on Xbox again.

It's basically social suicide for kids now. But it's great for people like me, because I'm much less likely to be added to a family group text.

Insane, terrifying, incredible, etc. We're rapidly stumbling into the future of media. Who would've imagined a year ago that trivial AI image generation would not only be this advanced, but also this pervasive in the mainstream. A

Well yeah, but just don't call them out. If you identify a problem, the person responsible will (usually) know you're talking about them, and may even appreciate that you're not calling them out in front of the team. If neces

Best approach: Don't hire people like that. Good approach: Specify that complaints be non-specific to a person on the team.

Judging from the current sentiment around piracy among younger generations, I've concluded that MPAA/RIAA propaganda against piracy has been a rousing success. My philosophy has always been: Pay for things if you are able, it&#x27

A better analogy would be to subtract the amount of bullets embedded in the wall behind the ducks from the total bullets fired. Assuming ducks stop the bullets. And assuming it's not just one immortal duck flying around super fast.

War with whom? The government? Tech companies? ISPs? All are in some ways restricting certain freedoms, while enabling others. And what freedoms are you afraid of being taken that have not already been taken in some form? I'm absolutel

I don't disagree with this, but there's a threshold in which the misinformation becomes the prevailing "truth" for a portion of the population, and is no longer able to self-correct. If there is a force actively working
