Collateralized Wing Obligations feat. Josh Boerman

also thanks for the reminder that we’re all leveraging our intelligence and education and critical thinking against the dumbest arguments ever

as someone who was loosely involved in the harry potter fandom in the early 2000s (mea culpa, i was a child, i am reformed) the idea that people only *started* actively creating storylines after this video game is hilarious. have you *seen* AO3?

Good god, Andreesen is literally describing Quibi!!! And making it worse with AI!!

You gotta love complex financial products

I do think AI is accelerating the epistemological crisis, now in addition to the usual questions of what is true, and who is saying what, and why, you have to first ask if it's even from a real human and worth investigating. And the only way to determine that is to take more time examining it. Worse since the cost to contribute to the information system has fallen from has to persuade a publisher to get a book deal to burn a forest with chatGPT it's absolutely polluting all our information systems. The question of narrative in video games is one that came up in conversation recently, but our conclusion was that narrative is being abandoned in favor of micro transactions in gaming and it doesn't seem like the investor class really wants to change that. So the man has a point about how to make video games better, but is also the in group of people making the industry worse. Relatedly can we stop pretending using AI makes you creative? Unless you're using it create something that just wasn't possible before. Actually being creative is hard and takes human perception and introspection, the tools are only half the problem. Maybe I'm over reaching on the last one but here it seems like AI is being marketing to people who wish they were creative but are just dull human beings. Ah, it's all just management isn't it.

Bill Clinton talking about the iron dome is so stupid and so good

My Quibi alarm is going off

The Royal Nonces is some infantry regiment I think

The Christian Terminator bit reminded me of this sketch: https://youtu.be/XminlVhLma4?si=-_dNsr1n_tIae636

A sequel to Heat called Meat where they're robbing fast food restaurants, duffel bags full of wings

Declaring proudly to the teenager frying my 2 chicken pieces “I’d like to pay using my Cluckbux Bucket™️ sir”, he sighs, takes a moment, then begrudgingly begins to boot up The Proprietary Device

The funniest thing about Marc Andreesen to me is that his Twitter thumbnail is Charlie Brown, which to me regarding head shape is Misinformation.

Just want to point out one of the reasons for the airplane phenomenon is simpler than you think: when a plane comes in to land, it pitches upwards to ensure the rear wheels make contact first and to slow the plane. The landing lights are designed to shine forwards so the pilots can see the runway even when pitched up, and they are EXTREMELY bright. From a perspective in-front of the plane, it's going to look like the lights aren't moving because they are directly approaching you; they're so bright most people can't tolerate staring into them long enough to catch that they appear to move further apart as the plane gets closer.

Prince Andrew was the Golden Boy who could do no wrong in Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip's eyes. If the could have made him the heir instead of Charles, they would have. Thus no unfortunate accidents.

So that version of an entertainment by AI generaion makes me wish Skynet would just nuke is.

you joke about the alein drone thing but a buddy of mine holds the belief in earnest, to be clear i dont agree with him

"They put this guy on befriending an elderly British p**dophile" So alienating and distancing for the spy, I call that the effect of making a friend or Befriending's effect (yes, this a V-effekt pun, what's wrong with me🫣)

As someone living on Prince Edward Island I thought I was about to be doxxed by the opening.

Think a lot of people are seeing Venus and Jupiter too

November passing up an opportunity to say "AI can't be good but it can be funny."

doing Ender's Game to the NYPD by designing a SAM tracking & interception interface that looks exactly like Candy Crush

I truly don't understand the staying power of Harry Potter for full grown adults. My town in Ohio has a yearly HP weekend festival that they put more time and energy into organizing than fucking Pride

me before listening to the ai segment: ah what cockamamie scheme have the whimsical text-splurge worshippers dreamt up this time? me after listening to the ai segment: of all the genres real life could have taken after why was 'existentially horrifying psychological thriller' the choice that was made

Shout out to the Public Universal Friend: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Universal_Friend

The whole Interactive video section in the Andreeson Horowitz article is so damn funny in light of Netflix completely axing their interactive video division about two weeks ago. All of this stuff has already been done and already failed.

Aliens surprise random New Jersian by speaking perfect Chinese. (they crashed in their backyard due to Andrew touching the control panel inappropriately)

the drones are flown out of a warehouse that was down the pier from a place that was a fent cutting operation and they're contaminated, the cops need triple-a to repel this threat

I see Riley is trying to get in front of the whole 'my favorite hard science fiction novel has vampires in it' thing so I will answer this gambit by adding it has a Ted Bundy quote as the prologue's epigraph. "Life's too short for chess."

I think Josh would Like "Bon Cop, Bad Cop". Especially the scene where the Ontarian Martin Ward played by Colm Feore goes up to the Québécois David Bouchard played by Patrick Huard and says to him "Youth-Quake Richard, Youth-Quake!"

Ah, so this forbidden desire thing is like the sonic dub where they generated a script. me understand

once again begging the tech sector to stop tormenting us schizophrenics

Erm, Jeff Cluckley? I think you'll find it was originally Leonard Cloacahen.

I think the only people who will use the wingscrip are the ones wingstop pays in that instead of money.

"A Perfect Spy" is the semi-autobiographical novel by John Le Carre about the son of a conartist raised playing roles as a devoted son before being recruited as a deeply-placed mole in western intelligence.

“The Spy Who Liked Me” is that anything (for November)

Using Hogwarts Legacy, the most 5/10 game ever made, as your example of the popularity of gaming is a great way to communicate you have no idea what you're talking about.

God the andreessan article is BAD

The thing is, you can't fly drones in an FAA flight path. My suspicion is that the drone happy "But muh freedum!" crowd (who have been hyper-pissed that there are a lot of places they cannot legally fly their drones -like around airports, military bases, etc) are looking forward to the incoming admin, and not being harassed by the FAA, and making an early start of it.

new jersey has generational ufo trauma from the 1938 war of the worlds radio broadcast #RememberGroversMill

The drones are gonna be some insider trading thing, preview for a flying taxi roll out

What is missing from the reporting about the drones is that it is taking place in the MAGA part of NJ. You know people who fly confederate flags in the North.

Rational compromise the NYPD can have an anti air capability but only flak guns I want the NYPD flak battery uniform

First! :D
