And I said “What about Weekend at Bernie’s?”
She said, “I think I remember that film.
And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it.”
And I said “Well, that's the one thing we've got.”

Here is how to distinguish Elon Musk’s new X.com from 1994 computer strategy gaming classic XCOM: one involves a brave struggle against freakish, hideous alien intelligence seeking to undermine world civilization with advanced technology and the other is a computer game

Also! The next Bandcamp Friday is Aug 4, and that's a *great* time to load up on superior music.

Soliciting personal recs for great medium-sized to large instances you love that aren't defederating over personal conflicts between admins and that *do* use Oliphant's level-zero (or greater) blocklist. Preferably not locked to a locality.

If you like an instance but don't know anything about its blocklist, I appreciate you! But please don't recommend it in this specific spot. <3

Many of today's proposals around tech ethics and accountability have already been developed, implemented, and then dropped by a previous generation of computer science. Sigh.

this is among the reasons I get easily frustrated with artists who work with AI claiming that they're "collaborating with the machine." you're not! you're collaborating with other people, it's just that the way you're talking to them is asynchronously and anonymously through a terrible rube goldberg device made of GPUs that distorts everything in the conversation. might as well say that your uber ride is "collaborating with the machine"

I want to expand more on the comedy of errors that led to the eviction of #Twitter from their Boulder, Colorado office.

The story that leads up to this building even existing is bizarre and hilarious, so here goes...

Twitter evicted from office amid lawsuits over unpaid rent and cleaning bills

Twitter evicted in Boulder, Colo., still faces unpaid-rent suit at HQ in California.
