there's lots of stuff out there that are poison for a healthy brain, but using LLMs is *actual* brainrot

Using AI helps people get higher grades and get their work done faster, but they learn less & suffer on actual exams I saw this in my own large Intro Psych class: -the exam average is 85% -after AI, it shot up to 95% -after I made the final in person it went to 68% www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

i will not go back to spotify but the tidal desktop app is laughably bad to deal with most days has good software *ever* existed? Feels like I'm getting enshittificaiton gaslit 24/7

we should bring back tarring and feathering people who are this stupid and blatantly selfish

ChatGPT prompts show how an expert witness report was created in a $61 million lawsuit over an explosion that killed three people.

The way scrubdaddy looks at you just before you waterboard him in dirty sink water and drag his face across the baked-on foods in the pan... 💔

Christopher Nolan's branding over the last decade has shown with great effect how you don't need a complicated logo, so long as you have powerful visuals - and it also makes for a great generator! The Odyssey Font & Logo Generator is live now!

working via a VM can be such a jarring experience sometimes - just going to look up a JIRA ticket and getting google like "HEY DO YOU WANT TO INSTEAD GOOGLE ONE OF THESE TRENDING GOOGLES? - WENDYS PREZTLE BURGER - SPORTSMAN INJURY - USA FUCKED???"

i bet it would feel so good to have your shit together

logging back into our steamworks account to see that someone bought Real Winners in the year of our lord 2026????

Those crazy bastards at Microsoft did it - they finally did it! They made logging into a Microsoft account on a PlayStation the most pointlessly stupid and frustrating process on earth! Congrats, team, I hope all that blood, sweat, and tears were worth it!!!

Well at least Argentina lost, I guess that's all the catharsis I get

sometimes the Tidal "discover queue" is downright offensive. You thought i'd like that???

I absolutely fucked up by leaving the house today, Chicago is completely blanketed in smoke

It's like they're going out of their way to invent newer, even dumber ways to run a country. Like think tanks made of 12 year old boys fed nothing but sugar and tiktok

Colin is a great person, AND a great person to work with! Hire him to breathe life into your projects!

every once and a while when I want to have a bad day I'll open up sourcetree

Doing what he loves best: being long and inconvenient

I've been using Tidal for like the last year (because fuck spotify) and overall it's been a fairly analogous experience, but every once and a while Tidal will have the most insane and disjointed "Daily Discovery" playlist lined up. Today's started off with a club remix of "Down Under"

Rolled credits on 007. Overall a very enjoyable game, but I am so incredibly over pointless linear ledge-hopping/climbing/squeezing segments. Feels like some kind of Sony mandate that their single player games need to have hours of absolute pointless fluff mechanics

Lmao, the neighborhood is setting off fireworks to celebrate the US team getting bodied, that's how I found out

Getting your ass beat after the president of the country steps in to manipulate the rules in your favor is historic L.

a bit lttp but Dice Have No Eyes... damn, that's got a vice-grip on me

So you are telling humans literate in history, culture, arts, and writing are better at conceiving ideas than people getting all their ideas from the same box that also drives them insane?
