Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

"Trucks like this have all sorts-of problems due to their distorted features, but truck breeders keep making them more deformed in an attempt to follow aesthetic trends. even though they're causing the truck a lifetime of pain. They weren't always this way either. look at a 1999 Chevy Silverado and you'll see a normal looking truck. look at a 2022 model and you'll see a truck with a vertically-stretched and smashed in snout that makes it have trouble breathing. That's why you should always get trucks from a reputable breeder, or better. adopt a truck from a shelter."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4djfp3b27soxcfkxhirydi6d/bafkreicboqezsovvj4lzao6hgrjowt3ib7yolak5kyx5jqyrrhv436rh7i)

i used to look forward to when my generation would be in charge of running popular culture but only other millennials would have thought harry potter was a good model for a star trek show and i want to send this monkey's paw back for a refund
I don't want to talk to a chatbot simulacrum of my late grandmother I want to dream about her alien ghost lover after reading a particularly erotic passage from her diary like god intended
I think chat interfaces with LLMs are whatever the software engineering equivalent is of malpractice. It's physicists dumping tons of radioactive material into the atmosphere with no idea of what it does to a human body
I've read PLAYER OF GAMES, this doesn't turn out well.
mallow@bajablastenjoyer.bsky.social · 11mo agoLOOK, all im saying is we've tried patriarchy and if you go back far enough we've even tried matriarchy, but we've never tried rule by neuter gender. i believe we should try something new in this bold new era (i am very unbiased)
Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like: saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3 and a worker tier whose emails are like: Dear Jim, First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…
Cethan Leahy@cethanleahy.com · 11mo agoWell, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.
I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time
