An elderly, weary man at a desk declares "Ruin has come to our family..."

In fairness, I think there are legitimate existential questions in the application of genAI to art. Something that haunts me is thinking about SCP-2112 (the Rush cover band virus). So that is a dimension of this that's not so easily reduced to class consciousness.

I agree with the broad point, tho.

You can, but only if it's in the form of a reaction video.

Not until he has an uncomfortable arc where he gets three quarters but not all the way to understanding the magnitude of his mistakes

It really makes you want to spring for an ad free tier. Maybe that's part of the point.

Skybeef Wellington

I've been trying to remind myself not to buy it until I actually want to play it, but I saw the release notification today and almost bought it on the spot lol

Ah, bloody hell.

Spire 1 or 2?

Gas prices as vital sign of the body politic

Some sentiments you just really wanna give an enthusiastic 'Yup!' to. This is certainly one lol

So uh, is there some kind of evidence that AI was involved in the strike on the girls school?

To be clear; there isn't an agenda behind that question, except that I've seen a couple people allude to it, and I'm wondering if I missed something. Frankly, I've been limiting my Iran coverage reading.

wikipedia is like star trek, twitter is like the imperium of man

This is the cutest thing I've seen all day.

That might not sound remarkable, but I spent much of today at the zoo. So.

Holy hell that's an obnoxious watermark

the one who loved horses, the one who was a great goalkeeper, the one who kept a diary every day, the one who held her sister's hand when they walked to school, the one who read Harry Potter in English, the one who collected old coins, the one who drew rainbows for her grandmother ...

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

It's beyond crazy that having a plan B beyond 'be the next Genshin/Rivals/LoL' is beyond a lot of management now.

No team has to live and die by these insane rules. No one forced them to mortgage their existence beyond two weeks. At some point, the people who start these devs have to break free from the cycle. Also, don’t take Tencent money!

“Oh you think no candidate should go on a podcast where the host has flirted with racist conspiracy theories???”

Like… yes?? I’m sorry, this is a high bar?

Yeah the thing is that kind of tuition buys you a truly staggering amount of 'boys will be boys'.

I mean, staggering. Pigs heads are involved sometimes.

I think you're OK unless you start talking about sulfur content again

Man, I wish people would find better outlets for their creative impulses than social media. Particularly people who work for DoD.

Seriously? You should write a book lol

Unfair, Fortnite probably responsible for more broken gaming peripherals

I guess it's not that bad for them, it is a sick anecdote

I wonder what it's like to realize you've got the best anecdote you're ever gonna have in your entire life

Your grandkids gonna be hearing that shit

A guy who's second greatest disappointment in life, running just behind the early death of his wife, was not winning the Medal of Honor

He would have fucking LOVED Mussolini.

Teddy would have probably been a big Mussolini fanboy had he lived 5-10 more years
