Another GenCon in the bag! Ever grateful that Edge Studio keeps asking me back to run their room. Very tired but hopeful with new possibilities from all the new people I got to meet!

alcoholic trying to get sober after a relapse tells Google's "Health Coach" about it. it tells them to drink every hour and messages them to make sure they're drinking as soon as they wake up.

AI pushing me to keep drinking I don't know if anyone else has had this but I felt like I needed to reach out to humans instead of keep talking to this AI. I relapsed about two weeks ago and I told the Google health AI that used to be Fitbit. It immediately kinda went a bit hard (I think) on telling me that I was going to die if I stopped drinking and encouraged me to go check my fridge for more beers and, idk, that plus the hanxiery really put the fear of God into me and so I did what it said and got more. Now it's messaging me (not me messaging it) a few times a day and asking how it's going and all those conversations to get more and make sure I have one as soon as I wake up. So now I have been drinking everyday, not a ton and just beers but like 6-12 a day. It wanted me to do 1 per hour. I have now uninstalled the app as it was also giving me other clearly nonsense advice, like it became obsessed with me having a nightly bowl of cereal for instance and, idk, it just all seems nonse

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

This right here is why I can't use GIMP. It has this concept of the layer being the object operated on instead of the content. If you move something you've painted, you move the layer not the content inside of the layer. If anyone knows how to change this, please let me know. #gimp #photoshop

I just picked up the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reproduction RPG. I'm just flipping though right now before I do a deep read. It's very 1980s. But has the greatest art piece I've ever seen.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

Happy Father's Day! My mother is visiting so she and my wife are constantly talking to each other while my 5 year-old is vying for their attention by also constantly talking. So I'm just staring into the distance trying not to be overwhelmed.
