should have been a pair of ragged claws
I don’t care if it rains or freezes,
as long as I’ve got St. Thomas Aquinas
sitting on the dashboard of my car. 🎶

Fixing a struggling restaurant is always the same. First you need to weaken the cooks’ power so they can’t stop you from putting sawdust in the food..:

You could splice in a scene from an Elsagate video and it would fit the tone.

All that steroid-generated muscle mass is like the paragraphs of hollow blathering in an LLM-generated article.

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

Cow Clicker started a public discussion that didn’t go in exactly the direction that Ian wanted, so he terminated it.

(So many cool things have happened in the incremental genre since then. A lot of mtx and slop but also so many creative passion projects with memorable settings and puzzles.)

How many of them have you taken down because players uncovered meaning and symbolism and context and fun that you didn’t like?

Manufacturing and warehouse and food delivery robots do not hit dogs.

But robotaxi companies combine “unsafe at any speed” car culture with “move fast and break things” tech culture, instead of prioritizing safety.

I’ve spent 20 years programming robots to operate safely around humans. It’s always possible to slow down and stop before getting into a situation where you will be unable to avoid harm.

If a human driver were incapable of fatigue, distraction, or intoxication, they would be held to higher standards too.

It costs nothing to stop and wait for a dog. Someone programmed it to have a higher priority than operating safely, and everyone at the company agreed that that was acceptable.

Every year you delay your midlife crisis adds two years to your life. It’s simple mathematics.

They should put two of them, side-by-side, telling you opposite things.
