David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

‘Six words or _fewer_.”

A meme. There’s a skull at the top, followed by the words ‘WRITE A HORROR STORY IN SIX WORDS OR LESS’

It's not fun to see a tribe flop and having a hard time talking at tribal on episode 2 because they don't have any food. Give the poor people food.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

studying for system design interviews, I imagine their app's requirements being "design a video streaming app that can serve 100k of concurrent users, with a cancelation page that supports 1 concurrent user at a time"

Republicans Against Trumpism @rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · 24d

So many people are canceling Disney+ over the Kimmel suspension that the cancellation page crashed.

Did you cancel too?

In a time when humanoid gimmicks are omnipresent, this trick tickles me.

A moonwalk by the KAIST humanoid from Hae-Won Park’s lab. It feels so purposeful in its use of foot contact.
