Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer, that means I solve problems.

Not problems like "What is beauty?", 'cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.

I solve practical problems.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Just noticed on an old VHS that Robert Patrick was wearing a NIN shirt when he was 3D scanned for the T-1000. That would have been 1990, so he was proudly supporting his brother Richard Patrick, who was in a new band called Nine Inch Nails at the time.

One way of thinking about the AI bubble is that it's the final gasp of a grift based on specialized GPU's instead of tulips, a logical continuation from crypto and NFT's and the metaverse.

Like, there's nowhere else for it to go, no other magical use for this shit other than as electronic waste.

Using your funeral for a victory lap like this is so awesome.
At the 2024 funeral of Pål Enger, who stole Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” from Norway's National Gallery in 1994 (leaving behind a note: “a thousand thanks for your poor security”), not one but two photos of his getaway ladder were displayed, and his coffin was draped in a reproduction of "The Scream"
