@Tanukemon053 the argument was made to me that newer pokémon are also designed to be more plush-friendly so that they can make more money. that hlped explained modern designs a lot

obsessed that the majority of comments do not understand that the copy-paste template from hudcon's ember and ice promo is literally the joke

I fear Hudson and Connor started a trend. Episode One drops tonight at 9PM PT.

Have you ever read a popular book so poorly written that it makes you mad?

people ask me how I was able to buy in Manhattan and it's because besides real estate I'm a peasant when it comes to tastes

[ted @tednotlasso]

hot take: manhattan is relatively affordable outside of its main bottleneck - rent - if you're willing to forego the luxury layer

its functional layer is very low-cost: public transport (big one), coffee, pizza, delis, free parks + museums + events

most people want luxury tho

not Hudson Williams delivering shareholder value 💀

Peloton’s stock spiked following the launch of its new campaign with Hudson Williams.

It should be pretty obvious at this point that AI is a "force multiplier" not a "labor substitute".

It helps experts be better at things they are already good at. It doesn't let beginners match experts.

If you can't write, anything you write with AI will be unmitigated slop.

If you aren't a software engineer, anything you vibecode with AI will have security holes and won't be able to scale past a toy demo.

If you blindly trust AI to deliver on a research task without knowing the subject matter, you won't be able to fact-check it.

There's this weird misconception of AI as something that completely levels the playing field. I don't see it that way at all. There are mathematicians deriving novel lemmas with off-the-shelf models. Normal people can't do that.

AI is a tool that makes experts better. It doesn't make everyone into an expert.

this is just good ol' fashioned ✨delusion✨

WHAT’S IT CALLED WHEN YOU’RE SUPER INSECURE BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU CAN WALK INTO A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE AND THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE??

@UltimaShadowX even if this is fake it kinda makes sense with the star wars teaser we got in the trailer?

@jjjacus I hit 202 the other day at 5'10.5"! I accidentally did a bulk at the new year lol

i am so sensitive to font changes, duolingo changed the font in-app and i am losing my mind

my return to hinge experience: "oh he's cute--wait never mind, he didn't respond on grindr"

@laracroftbarbie I learned so many new words because of industry this season lmao

[Walter Menendez @_retlaw]

@notsotroubled Agreed; anyone confused by it I feel like forgot all about last season already.

[Walter Menendez @_retlaw]

@zoesenaa this is the theme of the season that i wish i had more references for because it came up a lot, especially with the read last episode from Bevan about "journalism shouldn't be about myth-making for an aristocratic class"

[Walter Menendez @_retlaw]

@mulhollandmiya i literally yelled "oh i hate this... but it makes so much sense" at my TV

[Walter Menendez @_retlaw]

@apat10 The scene with Kwabena where she straight up admits she doesn't know how to have relationships was so powerful. Harper is finally seeing the symptoms!

[Walter Menendez @_retlaw]

i love seeing all this discourse about hudcon because the way that those two don't give a fuck and just love each other is beautiful and makes all the discourse so pointless and parasocial lmao
