would you say that they can... kick rocks?

I'll see myself out.

do not do this. it leads only to ruin.

Remember, once upon a time, Discord's CEO wanted to jam some blockchain crap into the platform when it was the big tech buzzword du jour.

Users screaming at them for even considering it got them to abandon that idea.

Let's do the same thing again.

also just listen to Travelers from the soundtrack on repeat.

Panels from a comic where Captain America decries the US invasion of Panama and the fabricated war on drugs, expressing frustration that the US is on the wrong side of every war.

we like the dino takes. bring the noise.

I can't fucking wait for this shit to die. AI is absolute garbage in every sense, and the only people who will need "cognitive amplifier tools" are the ones who use it for everything and degraded their critical thinking and communications skills.

fair enough! I do audiobooks while walking the dog every day, so I get a solid 90 minutes of listening, but I read standard books at home.

I don't know if you do audiobooks at all, but the audio versions of the DCC books are absolutely amazing. Also, if you enjoyed the first book, I can tell you without reservation that it just gets better every book.

not wrong.

just use hydroid, then it becomes tentacle horror... or hentai. can't decide which.

I'm not. I feel like it would be massively hypocritical to fault them for playing with a tool that we also played with at the same time before anyone knew it was evil. If they had continued or gone further, different story.

It's real easy to stand in judgment with the benefit of hindsight.

apparently this all stems from some placeholder textures that the sandfall devs made using early AI tools in 2022 that slipped through QA and made it to launch (replaced 5 days later).
2022. the same time we were all trying midjourney because we didnt know it was theft. i doubt they knew either.

simple solution: saryn prime. two buttons and a scream to victory.

dude really likes getting beejers, that's for sure.

you haven't spent enough time around people doing lots of cocaine and/or hallucinogens. people will do some mind bending shit on enough drugs.

sometimes you get bored and just make a pie.

yeah, there's a bunch of monorail videos and some really good aerial shots of the crowd at Seattle center before the march on the Seattle subreddit.

when I walked from 1st and Pike all the way back to Westlake to get the light rail home, the end of the march still hadn't even reached the monorail station yet.

I was there for the whole thing. Rally started at Seattle center, followed the monorail line all the way to Westlake, turned down Pine toward the market, turned south on 1st and ended at Pike. I was about halfway through the crowd (right near the giant Constitution)...

I was an early adopter of the "get off my lawn" lifestyle in my 20s and it has served me well for nearly two decades. Highly recommend.

I feel like wisdom may be a stretch, but thank you, Sassy! You da bes!

downside to working at a startup game studio is that when the president rat fucks the economy, funding dries up real fast.

on a related note: anyone know anyone remote or in Seattle looking for a senior executive admin, chief of staff, or project manager?

directly behind him. he's facing east on Colfax.

I've come to the conclusion that we have triggered Murphy's trap card: we keep asking to live in precedented times, cause it sounds good. but the longer this shit keeps up, the more of it *becomes* the precedent.

So I think we all just fucking monkey-paw'd ourselves.

I can't wait for the rain and mid-60s on Friday.

same.
