I mean like. chatgpt basically talks in linkedin dialect. the most banal restatement of a hipfiring echo blob of words that is approximately two paragraphs too long ……………. how many ceos are basically already LLMs

it’s the only thing that explains the explosive universal adoption of an at-best aggressively mediocre feature

America really ought to be aggressively brain-draining any country that even slightly annoys us. "Oh, you won't sign this trade agreement? Ooops, free citizenship for the first ten thousand doctors from your country. So as we were saying..." Like, it's a moral good *and* vicious realpolitik.

Ohioans, today is a good day to check to see if you are still registered to vote in our state. And if you are not, or if you haven't registered yet, today is also a very good day to do so. www.axios.com/local/columb...

I'm so happy to see someone doing Japanese game import/export as a business, but with such style and love for the trade. Even just clicking around the site menus is a treat.

New listings and restocks today. Ninja Gaiden 2 is highly recommended. The "learn English from watching movies" disc is a unique curiosity. The music games are a lot of fun too. I'm having a lot of fun testing these. My site: japanretrodirect.ocnk.com

Ordered a cassette from a label in Indonesia. It arrived smelling very, very strongly of fresh cut green onion. The actual cassette, not the packaging or case. Perfect Indonesian cassette ordering experience 👌

The thing these people fail to understand is no one without skin in the game — so most of us — give a shit about the markets. The S&P 500 has 0 effect on my life and being told “well the economy is great because of the markets actually” like I should be happy about that is deeply fucking insulting

Harris Poll: 56% of Americans wrongly believe US is in recession--and most blame Biden: 49% believe the S&P 500 stock market index is down for the year (up ~24% in 2023 & >12% this yr) 49% believe unemployment at a 50-yr high (it's been under 4%, a near 50-yr low). 📈sociology polisky

I don't know if this is something to brag about or be ashamed of, but after getting scammed by this fly-by-night fitness supplement website that tried to go to ground, I successfully cyberstalked the shit out of the owner. Thinking about calling him up to ask for my $60 back lol

The brain worms candidate literally had a brain worm. I take back everything I said about this timeline - this is the best possible one to be alive in.

Middle-aged white guys in Japan will literally drop dead on the spot if they let this kind of story go by without bragging about how it's never happened to them. Case closed!!

Dune Part Two is probably the most heartbreaking movie I've seen in years. Anybody whose idealism was formatively ground down by the Middle East conflicts of 1996-present would be hit especially hard.
