The irony is that half the audience will be complaining to their supes about the loud heels of their upstairs neighbors sometime in the next 48 hours.

That said, while it is not great by any means, I am surprised I like the Soylent Green as much as I do.

Perhaps not in my lifetime but my children will live long enough to see a colloidal silver Smurf become Surgeon General.

Was very excited that a blog was digging deeper into one of my stories until I discovered it was an AI tool autogenerating commentary, which is probably the most "Dave Zweifler short-story" thing ever.

In negotiations where the Tonya Harding approach is the right approach, the U.S. wins 100% of the time.

Serious ethics question: Is it worse to have done terrible things or to have begged gatekeepers to be allowed to do terrible things but were unable to do so because you were rejected by them because you are a giant dork?

Something Big Is Happening A personal note for non-tech friends and family on what AI is starting to change.

I regularly run into seemingly well-intentioned technology experts whose advice can best be summed up as, "Climb the highest mast on the ship before the rest of the passengers realize that the boat is sinking." shumer.dev/something-bi...

Clearly the writers at HBO did not get the memo that all future GOT properties need to suffer from massive series bloat and poor writing, because Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is killing it.

I feel like this piece is coming from a genuine desire to help, but advice to scramble to the top mast before the other crew members realize the boat is sinking isn't great.
