Thank you. Cross-posted this to [email protected].

I feel like almost anything would work if you say it the right way:

• Well okay then!
• As you wish
• This should be good
• Sounds fun
• Right on
• Aaany time you’re ready
• You must construct additional pylons.

Isn’t that second one just porn?

Edit: actually, nevermind. I’ve seen this in weekly detective shows, but now they make the handymen gay so it’s different somehow.

Banana hammocking is bad for your back.

You gotta lay in it diagonally.

Why November 4th?

Holy shit. Robot Chicken and xkcd are modern day prophets.

I applaud the commitment to the bit.

Toei Animation said in some cases, the time spent on a background was reduced to one-sixth of its normal time.

How is creator compensation changing as a result of the introduction of AI?

Are they being paid one-sixth less? Are they working one-sixth less?

throw me in jail where you then have to feed me, give me proper climate control, give me a place to sleep

Hope you don’t live in the United States. You might end up in a Salvadoran prison. Or, almost as bad, an American one.

Do you… have a recipe book? Or do you just walk around with an alphabetical list of stuff you know how to cook in your head?

AI is a venture capital money pit, and they are struggling to monetize before the hype dies out.

If the poison pills work as intended, investors will stop investing “creative” AI when the new models stop getting better (and sometimes get worse) because they’re running out of clean content to steal.

I doubt we’ll ever be offered a real opt-out option.

Instead I’m encouraged by the development of poison pills for the AI that are non-consensually harvesting human art (Glaze and Nightshade) and music (HarmonyCloak).

I remember that movie not ending super well for him…

For people who want a real link to help them with Linux migration, end of 10 might be worth checking out.

I did not know that. Good to know.

I stand by my comment, time traveler.

I think the purpose of a parachute is so that it can be used in an emergency, yes.

If, like me, you were curious about what “disaster” is referring to, it’s basically this:

The flight attendants are told to prioritize guard orders over prisoner safety (aka keep them in chains). And they have no evacuation protocols. If the plane crashes or people need to parachute out, the prisoners will be left for dead.

There’s no way this happened after the year 2000.

I haven’t seen horseshoe used as a verb in… ever, but that still made sense.
