This by itself doesn’t fix the team’s myriad problems, but it might be the only good thing the Mavs do this season so I’m absolutely gonna savor it.

Me: So you “keep the score,” correct?
The body: Yes
Me: That’s interesting, because if I drink too much my brain shuts off, but you keep going.
The body: Uh-huh
Me: So you’re keeping score in that moment, and you still think it’s ok to keep drinking?
The body: It’s, um, it’s complicated

With the passing of Jane Goodall, England must once again hold a lottery to determine which of its citizens has to live among the apes. Will they go on to become a revered primatologist like Goodall, or will they die screaming in terror as the chimps descend upon them like so many past “winners”?

For a while there I was nervous AI would replace me in the labor force, but I think what will actually happen is AI will end up giving me a job. Specifically the job of building AI data centers as a political prisoner.

I'm harnessing the unprecedented power of AI to forget how to read and develop a severe mental illness that makes me unrecognizable to those who once knew me.

I rarely drink anymore, but if I got my hands on a bottle of this I would disappear for 36 hours and come back with grand visions and a desperate need for an IV
Arby's Smoked Bourbon (2022-2022): A limited time offer, this bourbon was "inspired by brisket," and made using the same wood-hickory, mesquite, and pecan-that Arby's uses to smoke their meat, giving the bourbon "that signature Arby's flavor."

The insult to injury of it all with AI is even if the constant bullshitting was true, the product would still suck. Like even if I thought any of Altman’s nonsense here would come to pass it would fall WAY short of justifying all the cultural and environmental damage it would cause.
Sam Altman has got to the point where he doesn't even bother to describe stuff anymore. "Uhh yeah sometime you'll have a thingy that will do stuff. And wow will it be good!"
