Taking the “insult to life itself” to a whole another level.

I didn’t mean I expected it to be pro-crypto, just a little surprised it actually namedropped NFTs and blockchain at all.

A recent chapter of one of the official Touhou Project manga had a jab at crypto schemes. This isn’t one of the works of art I expected to so explicitly dunk on these unscrupulous scams, but I welcome it all the more for that.

Not that you, under any circumstances, “have to hand it to” alleged convicted assaulter Shädman, but at least he drew his immature shock porn using his own mid artistic skills.

Murderer on the Roof

OpenAI might as well just be Microsoft’s AI branch.

Using an LLM to shit out grammar for an old school symbolic language model is a poetic ouroboros of AI circlejerking.

If only it were him that suffered from his projections and not everyone else.

I like the video, but I’m a little bothered that she misattributes su3su2u1’s critique to Dan Luu, who makes it very clear he did not write it:

These are archived from the now defunct su3su2u1 tumblr. Since there was some controversy over su3su2u1’s identity, I’ll note that I am not su3su2u1 and that hosting this material is neither an endorsement nor a sign of agreement.

I use UTF-9 to efficiently handle Unicode on my PDP-10.

I have spent the last decade doing either:

• riding a flying pig to frozen hell and back

or

• something.

Wow, look at that sass. Are you doing anything later tonight? 'Cause I doubt you’ll be posting here.

Very fine people at YouGenics. They sponsor our karting team, the Race Scientists.

I missed the AI bit, but I wasn’t surprised.

Do YC, A16z and their ilk ever fund anything good, even by accident?

Cool. Do Oxford comma next!

Breaking: Reply Guy Baffled By Headlinese Complains About Punctuation, Tortures Comma, Semicolon

Hey, there’s a new government program to provide care for dementia patients. I should found a company to make myself a middleman for all those sweet Medicare bucks. All I need is a nice, friendly but smart sounding name. Oh, that’s it! I’ll call it Frenology!

I wrote down some theorems and looked at them through a microscope and actually discovered the objectively correct solution to ethics. I won’t tell you what it is because science should be kept secret (and I could prove it but shouldn’t and won’t).

The headline is a bit of a crash blossom, but if you read the article, the comments in this thread, or even the title itself carefully enough, you should be able to parse it. If not, I’ll help:

A startup company named “11x”, whose business model is AI sales, claims to have customers for its software (which incidentally doesn’t work), who in fact are not their customers.

This is not funny. My best friend died of whatever. If y’all didn’t hate saltman so much maybe he’d still be here with us.
