they seem to have trained on nearly everything you’ve ever heard of. especially a lot of Perl

This is profoundly hilarious to me for some reason. AppleScript, of all things, also seems suspiciously high on that graph. As does Pascal running neck and neck with Swift.

Open Anus Impossibly? My friend, this is nothing new, that site has been around for at least 25 years

This is just haplessly comical. The AI-generated sinister hijab lady, the attempts at algorithm-compliant YouTube face, the fact that they’re doing this instead of raising their kids (which may be beneficial for the kids in the long run…) Who do they imagine they’re convincing?

A møøse ønce bit my spare 4th child, the disappøinting øne with a løw scøre øn Raven’s Prøgressive Matrices…

klassless pooper

Australian posters: is this an appropriate circumstance to tell these people to “get a dog up ya”

and “Slaughterbots” which I’ve never heard of.

I’ve never heard of “Slaughterbots” either, but yesterday I did find out that “Thunderpants” is real and apparently much more well regarded than you might expect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderpants

During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, Paul Giamatti referred to this film as one of the high points in his career.[4] In 2023, whilst promoting The Holdovers, Giamatti referred to Thunderpants as “brilliant” and “one of the most remarkable movies [he’s] been in”.[5]

You will be allotted your weekly ration of tokens, comrade, and you will be grateful

this only happens to people sufficiently low-status

A piquant little reminder that Yud himself is, of course, so high-status that he cannot be brainwashed by the machine

Allfather help me, I’ve got too much o’ th’ computer

Me and Charmander who lives on my keychain are never hanging out with you again!!!

What in the world is a catturd2 public appearance like, anyway? This sad, drunk old loser shouting random slurs at the crowd?

Apparently, for some corporate customers, Outlook has automatically turned on AI summaries as a sidebar in the preview pane for inbox messages. No, nobody I’ve talked to finds this at all helpful.

An underappreciated 8th-season Star Trek: TNG episode where Data tries to get closer to humanity by creating an innovative new metamaterial out of memories of past emotions

EA SPORTS: If it’s in the game…

This is, sadly, pretty unsurprising, as carrying forward the anti-FDR/anti-New Deal movement was a foundational pillar of the libertarianism that Trump co-opted. Heavily promoted by the LewRockwell.com/Mises.org crowd.

But how are they going to awkwardly cram robots in everywhere, to follow up the overwhelming success of AI? Self-crashing cars are a gimme, but maybe a “sealed for your protection” Amazon locker with a robot arm that handles the package for you?

I was in LA this time a couple years ago, and some robot delivery startup had already left their little motorized shopping carts littering the sidewalks around Hollywood. I never saw them moving, they just sat there almost like they were abandoned.

😳

I’ve seen conspiracy theories that a lot of the ad buys for stuff like this are a new avenue of money laundering, focusing on stuff like pirate sports streaming sites, sketchy torrent sites, etc. But a full scraped, SEOd Wikipedia clone also fits.

Sajam deviated from fighting games to do over an hour on this game, if you’d like to feel your brain gently melting out your ears:
