I expect this will follow the same pattern as their previous games -

1. the hype cycle will get fans frothing at the mouth
2. the launch will be delayed several times because “we want it to be PERFECT for our fans”
3. the actual launch will still be Bethesda-levels of buggy
4. Over the first ~year after release the game is slowly patched to be playable

It’s weird seeing it happen again and again.

Remember, folks - 2+ years after launch you’ll be able to purchase the original game + the half-dozen DLCs for a nickel.

Intelligence has nothing to do with success. These people are born into wealth, are wealth-adjacent, or are expert ass-kissers.

My fantasy is for “everyone” to realize there’s absolutely nothing “intelligent” about current AI. There is no rationalization. It is incapable of understanding & learning.

ChatGPT et al are search engines. That’s it. It’s just a better Google. Useful in certain situations, but pretending it’s “intelligent” is outright harmful. It’s harmful to people who don’t understand that & take its answers at face value. It’s harmful to business owners who buy into the smoke & mirrors. It’s harmful to the future of real AI.

It’s a fad. Like NFTs and Bitcoin. It’ll have its die-hard fans, but we’re already seeing the cracks - it’s absorbed everything humanity’s published online & it still can’t write a list of real book recommendations. Kids using it to “vibe code” are learning how useless it is for real projects.

Eh. The “all or none” mentality destroys movements.

I view Obsidian like a gateway drug to FOSS. Works well & one can still explore FOSS alternatives simultaneously since it’s all just markdown.

icantstopbuying.domains is a call for help

You are correct. The source code for Obsidian is proprietary, but a lotta FOSS-friendly folks give them a pass since it’s all plaintext Markdown etc on the backend.

I want more movies and shows where the bodyguard grows a conscience and murders the corrupt POS they’re guarding.

So it’s fair use when the AI reads something it didn’t pay for, but for humans it’s “piracy”.

Funny what money does.

The Mountain Goats’ “No Children”, but very intensely.

It’s about motive.

Officials then revealed in the statement, obtained Monday by USA TODAY, that the relationship between the suspects and Nordquist suggests it was not a hate crime.

Nordquist and those suspected in his death were known to each other, and all identified as LGBTQ+, authorities said. At least one of the suspects lived with Nordquist before his death, the statement added.

A “hate crime” by most definitions is motivated purely by a prejudice against someone because of their race/gender/sexuality. If the culprits were just doing this because they’re psychotic, it wouldn’t be pursued as a “hate crime”.

“We are still in the early stages of this investigation,” according to a statement. “We urge the community not to speculate into the motive behind the murder as we work to find justice for Sam.”

It sounds like it’s still possible it’ll be tried as a hate crime, but the revelation that the culprits were known to the victim and also identified as LGBTQ+ means there’s likely more to the motive.

I’m curious whether Truth Social will acquire Xitter, or vice versa.

And when.

This is devastating for my “southerners watching pornhub” kink.

If you haven’t seen it yet, find yourself the season of Taskmaster he was in (7?). Solid gold.

That’s Ambassador Roof, to you.

Those with remaining sentences are Robert D. Bowers, 52, who was sentenced in 2023 for killing 11 people during the Three of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in 2018; Dylann Roof, 30, who was sentenced in 2017 for killing nine people during a white-supremacist motivated mass shooting in South Carolina; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 31, who was sentenced in 2015 for carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing.

The one where Nixon’s reelected hits too close to home.

Link for the uninitiated.

“How come he don’t want me, man?” And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔

How much are you paid to troll? Just curious. Sounds like an interesting job I could do with passion.

Or do you just say dumb shit for your own sexual gratification?

He should tell the FBI cause they’re still crowdsourcing data.
