I thought I could get a corned beef sandwich today but the deli is already closed. I can feel in my bones that it was the only thing that could cure my headache so I guess I'm going to die now

U2's "songs of innocence" sits in billions of phones. refusing to engage won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge
AI sits in billions of phones. Refusing to engage won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. Demand ownership and control, not abstinence.
Abstinence From AI Is Not the Answer
Opinion | Refusing to use AI won’t protect society. Responsible resistance must include gaining knowledge about it.

when I need to look busy I awkwardly hold the clipboard in front of the rifle and fire it one-handed
trying really hard to sneak in somewhere so I wear a high viz vest and a hard hat over ACUs and carry a clipboard in one hand and a rifle in the other
Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

'Twilight.' (1892) Relatively unknown today, Charles-Victor Guilloux exhibited his paintings at the Salon alongside Paul Gauguin and the Nabis artists. A reviewer praised his work as 'remarkable, he is clearly a master colourist.'

how bad is google images now? I was looking for a painting I used to be able to reliably find from it and the highest quality result is a twitter post I made

it seems weird to appeal to a guy and then directly and explicitly say "he definitely wants the opposite of this though," what's the theory of mind at work here

yeah I guess that's true. it's a little funny that we're so far through the looking glass though, musk was pretty much thinking the same thing from the other direction when he bought it and it seems like he was kind of right

this was the moment I think I stopped being sick but I have had a sense of diminished lung capacity that reminds me proust-like of both days after hanging out with my dad in our smoky den and days after I have gotten drunk and smoked like 7 cigarettes, neither of which has happened in many years
after a couple of hours like this I became aware that I needed to eat two spoonfuls of maple syrup, three clementines, and a cold seltzer, or else I would surely die
