Weapons of Math Destruction. A good read about algorithmic discrimination, this is more of the same.

Sorry kiddo, you must be this tall to view that website

If it was a Hideo Kojima game it would have been Fuck-hard Man

I would have understood them making this call for PS6 onwards - digital edition only. But while they’re still selling disc PS5s at eye-watering prices? What the fuck are they thinking? Way to burn good will with your ever-shrinking fanbase.

Plus you don’t know what you need to hide until it’s a problem with a future government. Look at what’s happening with ICE and immigrants right now. Based on America’s positive history with immigration, nobody in their right mind would have expected such a U-turn. See also Jews and personally identifiable census religious data during WWII.

You can do this with Jellyfin too, there’s lots of guides online on how to set it up. Requires a bit of self-hosting knowledge, but if you’re reading this there’s a good chance you have that.

I’m in the games industry and I can tell you first-hand nobody is making games targetting future hardware right now.

The pattern used to be to optimise assuming your current average hardware would be minspec by the time your game came out. That’s no longer true and everyone knows it.

If you pick up a used 3060, you’ll have a solid gaming PC for many years to come.

We just got sick of approving all those annoying prompts! /s

These days they can also chain together tools, keep a working memory etc. Look at Claude Code if you’re curious. It’s come very far very quickly in the last 12 months.

How can you hear the DJ tunes over the server fans?

It’s substantially faster than most programmers at finding bugs too.

Those A10s really mopped up in The Crusades!

If so, that’s pretty wild, and understandable they’re declaring a state of emergency:

Median annual income in Philippines ~USD5,000
Median annual income in California ~USD100,000

Thanks for making me google cloaca, you goddamn cloaca.

You forget we are in an echo chamber here. Most people not only read the AI summaries, they believe them. Just the other day I saw a normie ask ChatGPT to add up some numbers for them, instead of using a calculator. That’s how entrenched AI has become in their day-to-day. They don’t have to think any more. Thinking is hard. And that’s how Google is able to dominate the web. Steal the data and serve it up as slop that’s good enough for the everyday Joe.

Looking at Ukraine/Russia and now this, it feels like drone warfare has largely made military ships sitting ducks.

I watched someone in a YouTube video ask ChatGPT to add up some numbers for them, despite having a calculator on their phone. The sheer laziness at the expense of someone else’s energy was impressive. And don’t even get me started on the accuracy.

Team America: World Police

Sounds a lot like IBM.

Mar-a-lago sure feels like a sitting duck next to the open ocean.
