🦘 20's, maths graduate but I work in IT (sad), post-anything enjoyer, Munich resident, ace + nonbinary (any/all) 🦘
I might just join the frame lottery in the hopes that I get my email in like... 3 months? Hm
They made me come back from the UK cause I was too large for them
aggressively asexual pride month is going great so far (nothing has happened)
Me: oh boy Japan, can't wait to try out all these delicious foods Also me: eats at coco ichibanya curry again
I made a terrible mistake today at an izakaya oh my lord. Ordered a seafood bowl to start, chargrilled sashimi as a main and a couple of karaage on the side.
Yes I took an hour's detour in Fukuoka to get the ic card with the ferret mascot what of it
I bought a new lens, I want to say I spoke Japanese the whole time but I don't feel like it counts when the shopkeep was using a translator gizmo to talk to me even when I was replying in Japanese
This holiday could turn into "Shawn spends too much time learning how to use darktable instead of experiencing Japan" really quickly.
Snowboarding was pretty poor this weekend. Looks like spring is well and truly here too so unlikely to be really worth going back to the mountains besides perhaps once or twice for glacier skiing. This season was dooooogshit for Tyrolean resorts.
Booking my snowboarding weekend only to see the forecasted powder dump on Saturday fizzle into nothingness, woe.
Thinking about burgers but I got meal shake and leftover rice pot in the fridge so reeeeally I should be good. Who knows how strong I am.
My favourite tidbit about this is like, Jensen said "hey ik you guys are worried about insane capex spend on our unprofitable GPUs for services that have seemingly stopped growing and improving but.. It's okay guys. seriously. Its fine." And the stock went +8%
Steam Frame getting delayed cause OpenAI wrote a letter of intent to buy a bunch of dram wafers from SK Hynix (not a deal! A letter of intent) that they'll never be able to afford. None of this RAM has actually been *ordered*. OpenAI will flop over and die before a single chip gets manufactured. Sad
I got kinda confused when everybody freaked out about microslop renaming 365 to Copilot 365. They did that in like June of last year. How did people not notice? The app changed names around then too? Was I the only person who looked??
Also why do I keep seeing nudes labeled by site staff moderation. Why the hell are some of you still not tagging nudes. What the heck!!!!
Can't wait for oracle to go bankrupt thanks to the openai deal so we're finally forced to migrate away from their shitty database
I do think it's funny to be watching the sudden spread of "openai burning cash" now, like we've known they've been incredibly unprofitable for a year and a half? I understand it's cause Gamer YouTube got a headline that they shared amongst themselves this time, but. Still funny.
The only thing about gym on Friday is I have to be in bed at 10 for snowboarding. So I don't have any time outside work, gym, sauna and cooking...
Thinking hm maybe I should have spent some of my bonus on a partial (still hasn't managed to stay at a meet beyond like 2 hours due to anxiety)
Dragging all the gay people who associate saunas with casual sex with me to the lakeside spa in tegernsee (it's so good it's soooo good it's so relaxing and the infusions are mmmwah.)
Reminded I haven't sat down and listened to the talk talk trio of greatness recently maybe I should soon
This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
Erin Underwood: Open Letter to the Science Fiction Writers Association and Community on AI file770.com/erin-underwo... Erin's core thesis is "There are responsible ways to use AI that support creators without replacing creative labor."
"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin
Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane? Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.
