These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

I wish the media would quit reporting on high "concurrent player numbers", it's pointless dickwaving and just fuels irritating fanboys.

I want to know the games where just one solitary person is playing. Who are they? Why did they pick that game? Do they know something we don't?

Ai boosters are misinformation peddlers who have been lying about this since 2023 when they lied and said gpt 4 tricked a Taskrabbit into solving a captcha (it didn’t do this btw). These lies have enriched other liars and killed people and they are responsible

Yeah. I believe the justification was to make it so that you could check if someone blocking you was maliciously spreading sensitive information etc. but yeah. It's not good.

What To Know About The Controversial Change To X’s Block Feature The changes have been widely scrutinized by critics who believe the block function doesn’t go far enough to protect users.

They changed the "block" functionality in mid-2024 sometime so that if someone's blocking you, you can still see their posts, just not interact with them. Which some would argue is barely a "block" at all. www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

Yeeeep. Really sucks. Preservation and gaming history is going to be in a real awkward place in a decade or two. I have no doubt that people are already ripping/cracking digital versions of current stuff, but it will be sad to have a period where there's no functional physical media.

Chocolate, coffee and mint is SUCH a good combination. One of my absolute favourite things is overindulging on after-dinner mints and then having a nice big cup of coffee.

I want shorter games with more weird and stupid unlockable bonuses, and I'm not kidding - MoeGamer Horror games set the benchmark for short games that provide great replayability with a variety of weird and wonderful unlockable bonuses.

Rob's one of the hardest working folks in retro YouTube, and his videos are always a great, well-researched and enjoyable watch. Highly recommend his channel, and throwing him some support if you can spare it.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Yo, screw Palantir. We do not want them involved in our services!

well, yes, and I think that probably applies in most cases, sadly

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

This has happened an uncomfortable amount of times now, and no-one seems in any great hurry to do anything about it. Mind you, given that no-one seems in any great hurry to do anything about the horrible shit going on across the world (particularly involving the US), I guess I shouldn't be surprised

PSYCHIC WORLD for Sega Master System: just a little girl with power inside
PSYCHIC WORLD for Sega Master System: just a little girl with power inside YouTube video by ThisIsPete

New on the channel: that game with a psychic girl that isn't Athena Asamiya. This game is silly and has extremely questionable difficulty balance, but I like it quite a bit! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxtu...

I'm sure there's some dumbass SEO/engagement-bait reason for doing this, but it's really bloody annoying and I wish everyone would stop it.

thing I really wish modern websites would cut the fuck out: putting random unrelated polls and links to non-sequitur pages in the middle of what I'm reading. Was just enjoying a piece, and halfway through it inexplicably asked me what my favourite Grand Theft Auto was. The article was not about GTA.

Nah, we have Cheetos as well, but Wotsits are basically the same thing from a different brand (which is also under PepsiCo, making the distinction largely meaningless but still present for some reason)

Three varieties of "Extra Flamin' Hot" crispy snacks, including Walkers Max crinkle-cut crisps, Doritos and Wotsits Crunchy (a rough analogue to Cheetos)

We also have these, which are not the same as either Chilli Heatwave or Flamin' Hot Cheetos, they are borderline blow-your-head-off spicy.
