This election is already so terrifying and horrible and the past few weeks companies owned by openly conservative maniacs have rocketed and that makes me very very nervous for the results

It’s one thing to have a bad 538 report, it’s another to see billions being bet on Trump

I think we’re already past the point of every song having a co-writer asterisk next to it going forward.

How far away are we from a realtime ai voicechanging pedal that can make love singers sound however they want?

“Auto tune? Done. Add air? Grit? Subtones? Overtones? Easy. Wanna sound like Janis Joplin? James Brown? Boom”

I guess my point is, enjoy live music now

Me before having kids:

“Why do you guys post pics of your kids? Who the hell cares about some shitty kid except their own parents? What do you think I feel other than ‘yes, that is a kid’?”

Me now: “Look at this. Have you ever seen anything so precious. Weep from joy with me”

There is much, much more to do, but from what I can tell it is not widely understood that US per-capita CO₂ emissions have fallen below WWI levels: https://t.co/WBiPUh7qSg

I’ve spent over 15,000 hours designing and analyzing aircraft structures and I’m still utterly defeated over the physics of Trump standing anywhere

Not interested in AI at all until it can be packaged in a pedal that makes my guitar sound like a choir of Aretha Franklins.

I am going to make this tweet my entire personality for the next month and a half

@JasonKPargin Oh don’t say that Jason.

(Me, approaching middle-aged, listening to the radio): “damn, this ‘I will survive’-homage pop song is a banger. Lemme just google the lyrics to find out whose it is-“

Man I just understood now why DBZ 25 years ago baked into every plot a line from Goku before every encounter with a villain declaring “we can’t fight here! There are too many people! Let’s fly off, into a vague plane of nebulous orientation!

the most interesting and easy-to-render location for an epic showdown: literally nowhere. nothing. an empty word document. a gigantic flat plate of dust. and we all thought the giant grey sludge battlefield in Endgame was bad. i miss setpieces like the Battle of New York, buddy

@WangChangBackup “You analyzed this frame with 4 20470AD3 rivets in 0.090” 2024-T3, are you sure the joint is still bearing-critical?”

“Yes, the joint is still bearing critical”

“Okay, but the total fastener strength is like 500lbs and the bearing is 2k”

“My mistake, it is not”

🤷‍♂️

@WangChangBackup We joke at work that right now, ChatGPT is exactly like a new, bad intern - does a bunch of work really quickly with terrible accuracy AND perfect confidence that what they did was right.
