Commander's Herald: At Least When Our Art Is Bad It's Lack Of Talent, Not Effort

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Great chance to post my all-time favorite headline

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Using LLM-based products like chatGPT doesn't make you "understand AI" any more than smoking crack improves your knowledge of pharmacology. The technology is inherently misleading and self-propagandizing, it's a pump for exploiting user bias.

dear god.. a flavor scientist at the Cheetos factory has published a blog post saying no one is prepared for how "dangerously cheesy" they are

Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com · 2mo ago

OpenAI’s top scientist, in a blog post on Sunday, warns that artificial intelligence is evolving so rapidly that it is becoming increasingly difficult for humans to understand and control it. Here is the post: openai.com/index/an-ali... And a couple of small excerpts--clear warnings.

A memorial for Gloria Steinem In 1963, Gloria Steinem put on a fake name, a fake age, a satin corset, and took a job as a Playboy Bunny. Then she took the ears off, went home, and spent the next sixty years telling the world what it means to work in the sex industry.

So here's a quote from @pablo.show that applies to not only his Clippers investigation but the best of what journalism can be: www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...

Okay, after all the new cycles about GTA6 I've been trying to avoid commenting on, I've watched the latest trailers and I kinda feel I have to say something, so I've been collecting some thoughts while out walking about the state of gaming generally. This might be a long thread so bare with me.

Wondering why data centers are as unpopular as nuclear waste? It's not the data centers. The problem is both more obvious and more fundamental: The daily lived experience of the AI boom sucks. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ai-is-maki...

Modded Minecraft, specifically with Cobblemon and with most hostile mob spawns disabled. I get to spend a mostly peaceful year playing with Pokemon, death isn't permanent, and one of the mods adds a hammock that skips the daytime so if I get bored I can skip the rest of the year by sleeping it away.

You're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?

When you take an evidence-based approach to AI-assisted and agentic software development, a picture emerges. It doesn't serve the narrative the bubble's been built on. But for the tiny % who care what's probably real and what actually works... codemanship.wordpress.com/2026/08/12/a...

AI Software Development – What Does The Data Say?

I’m currently pulling together a bunch of sources – that are mostly recent – on the topic of LLMs and their use in software development. Some are peer-reviewed studies. Some are i…

Bluesky never beating the allegations. I make a math joke (we need to add three more states so that we'll truly be indivisible) and someone quote reskeets it just saying "No" because they don't like one of the states I suggested.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

All my homies hate Tim Hortons

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

Oscar winner and San Francisco resident Marcia Lucas — the former wife of George Lucas who edited the original “Star Wars,” “American Graffiti” and “Taxi Driver” —  has died.

I’d never really experienced it much before but holy shit now I know what people mean when they say Wizards of the Coast has a capitalism problem
