Remember me? No one after a full generation turns over. My name is on reports and records and patents that will last until the collapse of the US and probably longer, so my name will be found occasionally. But no reason to remember it specifically from among the other 8.2 billion people alive at the same time.

As for how much data will be collected and saved. I wouldn’t count on anything lasting for long that doesn’t have a specific retention policy.

The article on Nimitz class carriers is a great Wikipedia rabbit hole to dive into.

Not too bad for AI slop. Several minor inaccuracies and three major ones. Plus the glaring absence of certain elements.

C- for the bot; I think you can do better, little buddy. Would not publish for consumption by humans.

I don’t even have TV and was still inundated with the NYC ball drop. It’s still named after Dick Clark, for goodness sake. How did you not find it and settle for a Texas copycat? What fascinating little silos we find ourselves in online.

How very post 2001 / Windows XP SP2 of you.

Very cultural dependent. I’ve been quickly recognized as an American because we tend to smile with our teeth exposed more often than other cultures.

Someone DM’d me my home address on a pseudonymous account I thought had no ties to my IRL identity.

Those things had a cascade effect.

API change > 3rd party tools moderators depended on no longer functioned > mods quit because they could no longer manage the subs effectively > the one sub I spent most of my reddit time on is now unrecognizable, filled with alt-right nut bars, 3/4 of which I assume are bots.

I don’t want a bridge because reddit today is not at all the reddit I used to get some entertainment from. Or I guess go ahead with a bridge, I’ll just block it and go about my merry way.

Yep. As if women would never perceive men as a threat based on the same signals men would use to perceive threat.

Men, logical and hunter warrior manly men. Women, attention seekers. Therefore, stare down pretty women to show manly manness.

Alpha bro evo psych is so wild.

I can’t remember the last time I had to print something out on dead trees. Pass.

I already carry a mouse with me when I travel because I hate laptop touchpads. So double pass on an even smaller area of integrated touchpad/spacebar.

If an author used AI as a tool and ended up with a good book, I have no issues with that. There is more to writing a book than spitting out one draft.

I don’t believe LLM AI in its current state is capable of writing a good book without heavy guidance and editing by a human, not to mention the world building, research, and story boarding that isn’t a part of putting final word on paper, so I’m not worried about it.

Book review sites have already been manipulated for years (Goodreads, owned by Amazon) so I moved elsewhere (Storygraph, Bookwyrm) before generative AI became a concern.

At best: they need to experience more of the world. At worst: they’re racist.

Static Shock, Kim Possible, Darkwing Duck

I don’t go to BK regularly, but can confirm my experience with their Impossible burger was also disappointing.

… you want to tell me how awesome and life-changing Useless Product NX900 is?

Well shucks, please send me your black queer mom affiliate link so I can get in on this.

Edit: what a minute, this looks like a hetero white guy affiliate link. Dang it, tricked me again.

It screams white person lying about their identity to justify some whackadoo comment. “I can say this racist/homophobic thing bc I’m a black queer momma of 2. If you can’t handle me, you’re bigoted”.

… sure they are …

Feels like Fight Club to me where there is a subset of young men who like it, not recognizing it’s a parody. Then there’s people who get it and like it as a comedy. And the obviousness of which is which is not always clear, so you will never see me talking about whether I like it or not because it invites the first type.

Why the ever-loving eff would you talk about this during a job interview?

Is this a recent diagnosis? You need to slow way down and educate yourself on the condition and your employment rights. And I don’t mean by asking people on internet forums. Get real resources recommended by the doctor who gave you the diagnosis.

Hank Hill? Idk if he’s canonically autistic, but he sure seems closer to some real life people on the spectrum that I know versus Rick & Morty.

It’s a caricature based on the creators’ own experiences, blown to cartoonish proportions. Literally cartoonish. No, it is not authentic.
