Guy who in all seriousness uses the term 'woke mind virus' asking for a $60 billion bonus.

Just looked up how to spell 'Klonopin' for this novel I'm writing and Google automatically linked to a page for a mental health crisis hotline and I'm like how did it know I'm writing a novel?

My ducks are back.

It's almost as if the whole debt-laden merger, subsequent write-off bonfire, and cash-flow-based compensation plan were all designed solely for personal gain.

We're going to get an NFT-style 'oops, sorry, that was stupid' institutional course correction about AI chatbots eventually... all I ask is that we speed it up.

My teenaged son can be such a teenager, but I have to cut him a ton of slack when I think back to all the things that youthful cynicism kept me from fully enjoying and I can now only remember wow what a dumbass I was.

Any support chat where I'm obviously talking to a bot and it includes the text 'MyBotName is typing...' automatically makes me hate your company.

'AI' COMPANIES: Sure, if you steal a million dollars from someone, that's bad! But if you take hundred bucks each from 10,000 people and mix it all together so you can't tell whose is whose, that's technically 'training'.

One can only assume they won't object to people 'training' themselves on the movie for free when it hits torrent sites. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…

There were bots on Twitter before, but it wasn't overwhelming. There was misinformation on Twitter before, but it wasn't unmanageable. They had teams of relatively competent people dealing with those things. The utter failure of the current owner is really pretty staggering.

Well that's honestly a bummer.

My sis is one of my favorite painters in the world, and her art career started in part when she was 10 and I was 2 by making me little illustrated books about my life. This is a great thread.

As I go through this life, I realize that the only thing I want — the only thing I *truly* need to be happy — is for websites to stop signing me out. There is no bigger lie than 'Remember me on this computer'.

It's notable how reading almost anything on the web on a phone has become an exercise in trying to see in between and around and behind the ads. It's like websites have put up fortifications to try to keep your unwanted prying eyes out.

When you're making an intentionally bad joke always end it with 'that was a joke' because that's how we got CSS.

I don't know if everyone is aware of this but there is a now a television show where Colin Farrell drives around in a cool car wearing a cool suit, looking cool and watching old movies and solving crimes.
