Writing this so I can pin it. Hi; I’m Ryan, and I am a customer experience/relationship management dude with 20+ years of experience. I’m also looking for a job right now and would appreciate any connections you can provide. I’m in the St. Louis metro and can work remotely as well. Email in bio.

honestly some of the most apocalyptic impacts of "AI" will be shit like this, and most of the doomsday dipshits predicting SkyNet can't be bothered to notice or care

There have always been humans who thought: 1) The world will end soon 2) It will happen in a cool, exciting way 3) It’ll happen to me personally 4) I’ll be a martyred prophet, or a warlord, or otherwise special 5) People who don’t see this are lesser “Sexy apocalypse” is a great phrase for that

Super-wack that companies have elected to hand things over to LLMs and dehumanized even the act of introducing yourself and making an impression. I’ll repeat that I’m looking for work and would appreciate it if y’all would connect if we haven’t: linkedin.com/in/ryanmarkel/

I genuinely can’t believe this is really happening. We need the night. This is some of the most dystopian stuff I have ever seen in my entire life.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

My HOA got bought by a larger HOA company. Nothing good can come of this.

Your incessant need to remark that you’re not the one who made the spelling mistake in a quote makes me [sic]

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

"i have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working." The Astronauts truly representing us all up there.

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

I walk into an auto shop this afternoon and the first song I hear on their radio is SRV’s “Lenny”. My car is in good hands.

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

Early contender for hockey highlight of the year. Took me until the slo-mo at the end to even understand it. And now that I do... I still don't.

"If that's not a highlight reel goal I don't know what is" Minnesota's Abbey Murphy beats her defender with a lacrosse move, then slides it over for Bella Fanale to score

I downloaded the video of this in 1990-something on my parents' 14.4 Kb modem. It ran overnight; like a 10 hour phone call. Worth it. Still one my all time internet favorites.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

It's been less than 48 hours since we had a hailstorm, and the vultures are already knocking on doors in the neighborhood. No, random person with a clipboard, I'm not paying you to help me get a "free" roof from my insurance company. Go away. #CrankyOldMan

This, this, this. A million times this.
