Hahahahaha. At least they had the balls to publish and host it themselves.

Love this inversion of the song trope of lamenting the loss of nature. It's a satirical lament of the loss of corporate development.

Lyrics:

Here we stand

Like an Adam and an Eve

Waterfalls

The Garden of Eden

Two fools in love

So beautiful and strong

The birds in the trees

Are smiling upon them

From the age of the dinosaurs

Cars have run on gasoline

Where, where have they gone?

Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory

Now, there are mountains and rivers

You got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake

Now, we got something for dinner

We got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall

Now, it's all covered with flowers

You've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise

I wish I had a lawnmower

You've got it, you've got it

Years ago

I was an angry young man

I'd pretend

That I was a billboard

Standing tall

By the side of the road

I fell in love

With a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate

Now, it's only fields and trees

Where, where is the town?

Now, it's nothing but flowers

The highways and cars

Were sacrificed for agriculture

I thought that we'd start over

But I guess I was wrong, hey

Once there were parking lots

Now, it's a peaceful oasis

You got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut

Now, it's all covered with daisies

You got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks

Dairy Queens and Seven-Elevens

You got it, you got it

And as things fell apart

Nobody paid much attention

You got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies

Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies

You got it, you got it

We used to microwave

Now, we just eat nuts and berries

You got it, you got it

This was a discount store

Now, it's turned into a cornfield

You got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here

I can't get used to this lifestyle

US Congress proposed bill to allow AI to prescribe drugs and medical treatment

Original post from the Fuck AI community: https://lemmy.world/post/24681591

The fact that this has even been proposed is horrifying on so many fucking levels. Technically it has to be approved by the state invovled and the FDA, but opening this door even a crack is so absurdly out of touch with reality.

What's your favorite pronoun candy?

I always get a kick out of goofy ass edits of right wing, facebook tier "memes"

So I'm coming back to the game after a two year break. I didn't get too deep into the game before, mostly doing low level combat and trading.

I was wondering what resources people more familiar with the game would suggest I check out for getting into some of the other content like mining, exobiology, and exploration. I'd like to take a shot at the basics of the different gameplay loops/styles before I start trying to get into the deeper content like engineering.

Unfortunately a lot of guides I've found seem to focus on maximum optimization before you even try to get into the content. I don't want to do an engineering grind, or grind to get an FC, before I figure out if I even like the type of gameplay it's going to make easier.

We've heard the anguished screams of the Funhole community for an alternative to the Funhole Times. For a hard hitting publication unafraid to dig deep, unrestrained by concepts like "common sense", "integrity", "anti-treason laws", "libel lawsuits", and "basic measures of competence".

We're proud to bring you a snippet of the inaugural issue of the Funhole Gazette, and we hope some competition will drive us all to make even better content in the new year!

We also vigorously deny any allegations of sabotage of the Funhole Times facilities.

New Ed! Not much particularly new info, just a general lament and summary of the state of tech and how much has been pinned on magical thinking. Has some wonderfully quotable sections.

What if what we're seeing today isn't a glimpse of the future, but the new terms of the present? What if artificial intelligence isn't actually capable of doing much more than what we're seeing today, and what if there's no clear timeline when it'll be able to do more? What if this entire hype cycle has been built, goosed by a compliant media ready and willing to take career-embellishers at their word?

Please forgive my addition to the title, as it's meant to be a play on "Waiting for Godot", not a comment on the Godot game engine. Wanted to make that more clear than the title alone would.
