Radical Graffiti @radicalgraffiti.bsky.social · 4d agoThe Emperor Has No Clothes! Con-men have convinced management that AI is so valuable that only a fool would doubt it, and not wanting to look like fools, they have to pretend that they believe in AI as well.
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 5d agoThis shear ("AI is changing everything"/"Well, OK, we're not using AI for anything") is so extreme that Suresh once met an exec who confessed to crafting an AI-centered AI strategy for a $2b/year business, even though that exec "had never even used ChatGPT or any AI tool in their life." 36/

It probably feels good as hell to yell "ENOUGH!" and transition into the final phase of your fight.
Look, I don't really approve of insulting people's personal appearance when the real problems are the policies they enact. But I get the appeal of telling these clowns they look like clowns, and I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

"Captive" usually doesn't have a positive connotation, does it?
Hemant Mehta@friendlyatheist.com · last wk.Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend.

Naming a crossover Transformer "Prime" feels like a branding no-no, in the same way Magic doesn't print any unique Universes Beyond Planeswalkers. Prime should be a title with a specific in-universe meaning, not a random transformer-ish word to be pasted on a football helmet.

Some of my favorite stories from that era are smuggler, military, pilot, or treasure-seeking romps. There just wasn’t enough known about the Jedi to make it the storytelling focus, beyond starting neophytes like Luke whose inexperience was the focus.
The Marketplace of Ideas people immediately forcefully shut down all dissent, bought all media, sued & fired all critics & arrested & caged journalists reporting on their heinousness as soon as they got control & all of this was entirely predictable & people who warned of it were called overreactors

I'm so confused. In the trailer we see him as an old man. He says "Bah Humbug" AND "Merry Christmas", implying it's during the events of the original story. How is it supposed to be a prequel? This isn't "Young Ebenezer", it's just the guy from the Muppet Christmas Carol, but without the Muppets.

There's nothing I can imagine the world needs less than a Lambo redo. And I like the big monster truck, but I don't $50 like it. This is the curse - I say I want new characters, not just old ones redone endlessly, but if you don't TELL ME WHO THEY ARE w/ profiles or media, I can't be made to care.

Give Trump everything he asks for and he'll demand more. Deny Trump anything and he'll demand more. Sign a contract with Trump and he'll break it. Send Trump an invoice and he'll stiff you. For Trump, "the art of the deal" can be summed up in one word: *renege*. 17/
