Nah. A mattress though? You bet!

Yes, followed immediately by painful bouts of guilt. Not enough to motivate me to do anything about it. But guilt nonetheless.

The worst part is other people realize it before you do and then try to take advantage…

I still have a BD-RE drive in my current setup. It almost never sees any use, but it’s definitely nice to have the option should I ever require it.

Same way anesthesiology works. We don’t know. We know how to sedate people but we have no idea why it works. AI is much the same. That doesn’t mean it’s sentient yet but to call it merely a text predictor is also selling it short. It’s a black box under the hood.

It’s not anytime soon. It can get like 90% of the way there but those final 10% are the real bitch.

Why do today what I can do Friday afternoon in a frenzy while working up a heart attack?

Yes, and the ever-present “I should’ve done it THAT way, goddamn, I probably screwed up…”

I know the post is a joke but this has high impact on our lives. You don’t develop a drive for certain things unless you feel rewarded. For a lot of us we put in all the work but never get the reward. It’s fucking hell.

What a bitch.

They already don’t. Their power is based off money alone. No one actually likes them, let alone looks up to them. The people who claim to be “inspired” by them are only inspired by their vast fortunes, not with their persons.

I’d be Weedbear prolly…

It killed Digg. It’s slowly killing Reddit now.

Damn, Elon’s company town is barely a week old and others are already introducing scrip. I knew it was going to be inevitable but this is way faster than even I anticipated.

Until you name that “brain” Azatoth and everyone loses their minds.

No war but class war. All struggle is class struggle. Everything else is FUD and obfuscation.

Who needs they shrussy ate?

Windows is like €200 minimum. It’s extortionate.

The enshittification/rent seeking continues. Nothing is sacred.

I let Copilot write emails to annoying customers for me now. Company pays for the license, might as well use it.
