Erudit or Al Qaeda?
just a hunch, but randomly referencing Marcuse suggests that he's been consuming James Lindsay posts

Got the rare Hussein relaxation vein on this one. Incredible.

"... Compared monetady policy to car a carmaking production line" You guys skipped over the most important part: Everything is a car production line in their brain. This is what partially radicalized me against "business", and the brain worm that is business school. It is the only thing these people understand, and they will hammer at any process until it looks like a production line. Ever wonder why games are now this formulaic? Well, the game industry now is a car making production line. It was not always this way, but it is now.
Trashfuture's most STEMlord quality is constantly conflating real social science (Five Factor model of personality) with quackery (Myers-Briggs, love languages). Read a psychology paper!
Like this one for instance? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-6494.00117 Or this one? https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fa0022478 While not on the level of Myers-Briggs the five factor model is still pretty shaky and culturally dependant.

Wait, an AI that can "translate text to sign language"? Who is that for? The one person who is both deaf and illiterate? There are already text apps for the deaf that make typing easier and more legible, why would that need to be translated back into sign language?
Ikr, implies they think all BSL speakers read & write in elaborate hand-shaped hieroglyphs
Rip bottlemen
ah, this is one of the ones where Milo screams.
RIP Pepsi Max, they took that from us

Isn't making Serco the King and kicking everyone out to make a hermetically sealed nation the evil plot from Johnny English?
Thought he deserved more time at Manchester City personally
Riley: “they do the slide to the right instead of the” My brain: “take it back now y’all”
tbh my first guesses for eastern European mma degrees of separation were gonna be Steven Seagal or Mickey Rourke
Quietly adding to my "mentions of the Sudbury nickel" tally
If being on the Internet taught me something, is that not everything is worth reading. Including this one comment. Ironic, I know. Back to topic : . Reading minds? Imagine making your boss lose The Game telepathically.
