Anything is possible with greenhouses and a nigh-infinite supply of renewable geothermal energy. :D iirc there's a similar thing going on in the coastal desert of South Australia, where a single facility is producing like 15% of the continent's tomatoes using a solar thermal tower.

So, sometimes, I like to say "I can't wait for the AI market to collapse so that nerds can fiddle with the tech and figure out what it's good for" and this is one of those examples of that kind of thing www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Plo...

Absolutely devastated to have to deliver this news.

I have loved working at BuzzFeed so much but I have to stand up for what I believe in.

Please DO NOT send hate to anyone!

If anything changes regarding this, I will let you know.

Lots of great reasons to read, but as a writer, books can offer either Type 1 & Type 2 inspiration.
Type 1: wow! This is amazing. I will spend my life aspiring towards these artistic heights
Type 2: wow! This is rubbish. I can easily do better than this. Maybe being a writer *is* a realistic goal

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

Cola *was* originally developed as a treatment for certain kinds of gastric upset. Still used occasionally for churning up bezoars.

Korean War was a stalemate, but I'd call it a net victory since the UN forces under US leadership were able to stop North Korea annexing South Korea, which is what kicked the war off in the first place. Also, the 1991 Gulf War was a fairly resounding win for the US; Kuwait still exists, after all.

Hello. I am still on my work trip, but I still have a video for you tonight. This one has PopCap, because I can never truly escape. Enjoy your meal

It's honestly not a bad mental exercise.

If I want people to gaf about my stuff, it behooves me to find out what they already care about & connect it to that.

Ain't nobody got time to click on Lady Drones On About Random Stuff, Episode #385 and I respect that

Duolingo can't give you real proficiency because that's not what the app is built to do. It's built to retain you by making you feel good for nailing low level exercises. If you actually learned, you'd eventually stop using it.

Speedrunners love to put "Best Possible Time" in their splits but then you watch them and they're having the worst possible time.

I actually consider toby to be the gold standard for communication with fans when it comes to big art projects.

1. Doesn't explain shit.
2. Makes random weird posts that only become meaningful AFTER the fact
3. Only talks openly about patch updates, news, or things he likes.

We are live! I'm biased, but the Enforcer is my favorite thing I've written for HWI because it breaks all my self-imposed rules, but all the new occupations are great.
