Oh well.

I'd completely forgotten that we all discovered the president has a nasty little mushroom dick. I'd actually manage to put the image of that man's malformed cock out of my mind. You just reminded me. Bastard.

I mean, people paid to attend trump 'university'. There are always plenty of fools who will buy stupid shit. I kind of feel sorry for the students though. Most people are pretty young at university age and many are still forming their perspectives. Getting away from home and meeting new people is an important part of this. Plenty of people from conservative families go away to uni and start to see that they've been brought up on bullshit. This is an attempt to stop that from happening - the 'anti-woke' shit will attract more conservative students which will reduce the chance that any of them will encounter different views and cultures so they stay in their ignorance bubble. Don't want little Johnny or Jane coming home from school an anarchist! It's sad for the students though who will come away in massive debt with a useless degree and have less opportunity for healthy change.

Rawnsley park is pretty sketchy at night but it's not the most dodgy park in the area. There's a lot of dealing goes on there, I'm assuming this stabbing is related.

now AI will be trained on your craziest "private" conversations

I have no idea what horrible thing this will do to an LLM but I'm kind of curious.

AI just lowers the barrier required for people to be able to express what's in their mind

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with people being about to express themselves, but that's not necessarily art. With art the barriers are things like talent, creativity, and hard work. Lowering those barriers mostly creates rubbish. Typing 'Make a pic of an x fighting a y and make it look cool!' doesn't make anyone an artist.

Happily my job is so shit and poorly paid that I don't anticipate it ever being worth automating. Sometimes humans are just cheaper.

This used to be the case with glass bottles in England back in the 80s. Seemed to work well, certainly I and a lot of other kids used to return as many of those bottles as we could to supplement pocket money. These days all the bottles are plastic and there's no returns policy.

Phrases are definitely more memorable than forcing people to use capitals, numbers, symbols, all that shit. But there are just so many passwords to remember.

A pretty early chatbot called Eliza simulated a non-directive psychotherapist. It kind of feels like they've improved hugely but not really changed much.

I'm cool with that. Maybe they can do tailgaters next.

This is why you photograph the food before you chew it.

Mostly, but not always first person. But I'm not always the same person - my age and sex isn't at all consistent in my dreams. I've been an old woman or a baby boy, and pretty much everything across those spectrums. In my dreams it's completely unremarkable.

Well no, not over. But it'd be a good start.

I don't know what you're referencing, but me too.

We agreed?

I don't know but maybe it's short for 'open goal'

Or just charge up car batteries and drop them.

Yeah I'm looking forward to it. Currently playing through the old ones, they hold up surprisingly well.

They'll do the exact same thing again soon.
