I bet brontosaurus got struck by lightning pretty frequently.

@sflorimm @duncanwc It’s absolutely a totally different vocation now.

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

Time to take up a 120 page screenplay that needs to be scarier. It’s creepy, but not scary, because that’s how Lovecraft wrote. The challenge is making it scary while remaining true to the story.

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

Start building it now. Why wait?

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

Stopped saying please to AI today. My respect for it should be assumed, I told it, so in the interest of brevity my prompts may seem abrasive

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

@anna8ekraft He probably did though

@EmmettNaughton Only when something like Spider Noir happens

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

@KevinNaughtonJr Team Fortress would be perfect here

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

Feels like the time to get ready for some new invention

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

@subscriptiondoc It’s all grandiose avoidance behavior for a couple more years of arthritis, but somehow worth it

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

@JoyceCarolOates Can it be defeated with a Groucho disguise, or will this throw an alert? That’s the hidden terror

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

@RevivedThoughts No, if you’ve been to the airport you’ve only “been to” a place. If you’ve left the airport and entered a public place interesting enough to make you miss your flight, you’ve visited.

@walkingriver Don’t you see these stopgap measures taken now evolving into training “patterns” for AI to handle? I’m frantically writing complex validation matrices and using .md files linked to test scenarios to direct a new session when I could just write the code and tell it to clean up.

@elonmusk We may experience steady, excruciating change. Constant and existentially destabilizing, this kind of insidious suffering could escape attention if the neural lace is not completed soon

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

Again, I favor abundance for all creatures but iguanas? You can have these animals. Their hubris is undeserved

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

I favor abundance for all species, but if you encounter a shoebill please remember what they do to their young and offer no food, or help.

@RaminNasibov @elonmusk Descent, a FPS from ‘95 where you fly a little fighter through corridors and fight drones. It has a death match 1-on-1 mode that turns it into a horror game simply due to the eerie empty corridors

[Mike Britton @mbritton]

I like making ridiculous, ambitious plans, then chipping away at them until it becomes clear they are possible

Existential dread and doom in tech despite astonishing possibilities and market upturn
