I have talked to a lot of executives buying Microsoft Copilot for their firms. Not one seems to have considered what it means to suddenly automate the vast majority of management writing without training or reconsidering the meaning of the work.

if your adhd friend hasn’t been in touch, i promise they still love you. they just don’t have a human soul. their divine connection has been severed and they can no longer hear the voices of angels

I used to have the same frustration with online repos like this, it was so annoying to not have a way to *just install* the application

but now that I've learned how to code, how to use git, how to build software - my opinion is completely unchanged lol

this is googie my friend googie, I pat him on his huge bug body and we get cherry slushies

@docsquiddy a lot of people saying those are crpgs but.. is disco Elysium a crpg? it doesn't have combat which is a massive departure from other crpgs, but is does it still count as crpg

2023 will be the last time we ever got to experience a semantically lossless internet. From now on we face a creeping tide of machine hallucinations, collapsing all human knowledge toward common patterns like a gradually oncoming digital Mandela effect
