Dude came up with an entire "obviously true" "proof" that music has no value, and then when asked how he defines "value" he shrugs his shoulders and is like 🤷‍♂️ money I guess?

This almost has too much brainrot to be 100% trolling.

Today in linkedin hell:

Xbox Producer Recommends Laid Off Workers Should Use AI To ‘Help Reduce The Emotional And Cognitive Load That Comes With Job Loss’

including possible effects on the protocols from issues like such as AI fuzzing attempts, to social engineering by AI's,

"You know those massive problems we already had going back decades? Well what if the same problems happened in the future but with the letters 'A' and 'I' prepended? Scary!"

through to how we deal with and approach and facilitate Avatars and Agents.

Gosh darn it don't tell me LLM hype is going to ruin the existing definition of "agent" already well established in web standards.

Alright that's it: anime streaming needs to return to fansubbing (note: this link contains a skintight anime bosom so don't open it in front of your boss unless your boss is chill)

The one human-written slop text I've read in my life was a textbook for a philosophy 101 class. The text was wordy and meandering to the point of being almost unreadable.

The whole department was corrupt though. The textbook was written by the dean, expensive, and was filled with exercises on perforated pages that had to be ripped out and turned in (no photocopies allowed, and hence no secondhand market for the book). The teacher also showed obvious favoritism towards Christian students and found a way to make the entire class about god.

So anyway that's why I never minored in Philosophy.

Before LLMs came along no one cared what tools I did or didn't use at work. Hell will freeze over before I let a text predictor write code for me even if that eventually costs me a job. I'm the sort who can't stand any sort of auto-completion or other typing "help", much less spending all my time reviewing LLM output.

Sure maybe the "Showcase" link doesn't do anything, the "Watch video" link goes to a password protected file, and none of the "Learn More" buttons do anything; but at least they tell you who invested in them as the very first thing on the page!

Also haha I clicked on the blog and this was at the top of the first post:

Here's a Substack post draft that introduces videogame.ai with a compelling and engaging tone suitable for readers interested in games, tech, or the future of creative work:

New use case for AI found: extracting money from venture capital without actually doing any real work.

We should improve society somewhat.

Yet you participate in society. Curious!

Yeah I saw that but had completely forgotten about it in the meanwhile because I have the memory of a goldfish.

In the grand scheme of things there are worse controversies, but I would so love an enthusiast browser that is, well, "woke" rather than one having a faint stink of techbro worldview about it.

Wait Ladybird is anti-woke? Sigh am I going to have to make my own browser?

(I know I know I'm a lot better about posting about wanting to do cool stuff than actually doing it, hazard of having a full time job)

Totally cool.

There's so many old games I want to decomp and/or make more runnable on modern systems and/or make moddable.

I've never gotten very far due to lacking the skillset. It can be intimidating starting with nothing but some ancient 32-bit (or heaven forbid 16-bit) windows executable and zero documentation.

But maybe I should try again.

I think an actual building. Though Forest City is not exactly prime real estate.

There's some pictures here: https://www.ryanchern.com/posts/network_school (and probably a few other sites scattered across social media). I could geolocate it better than that but I'm currently on shitty mobile hotspot internet.
