It's kind of sad to think that there's now a generation of young people for whom the word Kennedy refers to RFK Jr, rather than Jamie.

Sadly, this is human drivel.

An American citizen should NEVER have to review "Rules of Engagement" just to leave their own home.

Oh, hey, Canada...
There are lots of folks down here who would make fine and reasonable additions to our dowry. They're in "dumb parts" but treated right, and valued, these folk would make huge bulk in the numbers. A-Yo Saskatchewan. I just want the merch rights. That's what I's asking.

I was just watching 30+ year old "The Great Outdoors" with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd, where Dan Aykroyd is giving some encouraging wisdom to his two young daughters-- while relating an anecdote, like a good dad.
I could only think "Those analogies are all dead by now."

Orrrrr.... this is an anti-Palestinian false flag.

I feel like sand is more performance-indexed, whereas glitter, even if 100% coverage, is still going to lose something in the broad light of day.
I mean... even a chocolate cupcake with sprinkles is going to have to cede attention to less on-the-nose demonstrations of artistry beyond glitter.

Sorry, sir, but visually, you're not interesting from other angles. Any other angles. So, we thought we might, at least, do something original.

TRUMP'S BIRTHDAY NOTE TO EPSTEIN SAYS "WE'RE BOTH PĘDỒS!"
Do this: google "definition of gamine"
Then: google "anagrams of gamine"
Then: re-read Trump's note, written on a *pubescent girl's body*.
IT'S LITERALLY RIGHT THERE.

Wow. Wouldn't you like to be someone that is just randomly super lucky? Because, fuck, my racehorse made goddamned bank and now owns a block of condos in Boca.

Taxpayers aren’t supposed to deduct losses from something that has no hope of being a profitable business.

But billionaire-owned operations that look like expensive hobbies, like race horses, rack up business deductions by the tens of millions of dollars.

That's really novel. Is it like an Ayurvedic or Eastern Asian food tradition as a map, or is it ingredient-based or something? I guess if this soup is ready, it is what it is.
Really interesting mechanic.

Hey, the man is sharing his honest opinion about a book he has definitely read!

What? Did you think this was some kind of transactional quid-pro-quo?

I do enjoy them! I was being a little silly, but in-world-- if I was being a jerk, I would tell devs to avoid your soup model!
I love seeing the design things that people get into. I get a new appreciation for attention to detail in the most curious things. It also inspires-- it's okay to share.

Tonight's AI slop, celebrating fertility, the sun, and chlorophyll, presumably.

Then I would tell people to go to a different restaurant for authentic low-poly soup from scratch.

I was genuinely bummed to see how much hate (bigotry, really) there is against AI. The arguments I've seen made mostly apply to the thin edge of the wedge: sloppateers. The deeper arguments about ethical training apply far more to Google than any AI outfit.
People who care do great stuff with AI.

I feel like the feathers are largely decorative and kind of a hat-on-a-car when the tar is burning their skin off.

Plus-- would the feathers be ethically sourced?

If this isn't a game about eating soup in first person, you might be over-focusing..

I have a cassette somewhere that has this song on it four or five times-- each time, started late, or the DJ talked over part of it, or whatever.

Philosophically, if you believe in a world that essentially exists in language, these models are the first "artificial minds"-- even if they only exist during the moments after you press Enter. To understand a bit better, read about the Turing Test and The Chinese Room (~thought experiments).
