There is no reason to drive any faster than 40mph outside of an interstate highway. And even then it's dicey to go over 60mph. You are piloting an enormously heavy machine going fast enough to liquify anyone you hit and you should think about that constantly.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Anyone know how to hide the Copilot icon that just suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of my Word documents on my Macbook? This is incredibly annoying when a large portion of my job includes sharing my screen while writing in Word docs.

One way to conceptualize these numbers is that after 10 years of working a full time job, I am now estimated to be further away from buying a house than I was when I started that job.
The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.
Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

I think this really gets to the core of my opinion re: AI in video games (and maybe in art in general?). It should never create anything. There is potential, however, in its ability to interface with what was already created by human hands. A tool, not a product.
the fuck we are *not*. not genai, anyway.
machine learning to, say, recognize what counts as a hat for categorizing. or to adjust that hat for different models, sure. or for automated testing maybe? idk maybe? there are valid uses. but literally none of them generate art, text, game systems, etc.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Once again: I would rather live in a world with Zane Shamblin in it than a world with ChatGPT. This company has so much blood on its hands that history books will see it as a great evil along with other ventures like the East India Company.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

I fly maybe twice a year and every time I do everything feels like it’s changed. It’s a coin flip if I’m going to need to take my shoes off or not.

This was how I found out by the way.
Dick Cheney, architect of the invasion of Iraq, was found dead near the toilet today. He shitted so much that he lifted up into the air and sustained 800 broken bones when tumbling off of the top of his geyser of shit. Officials have elected to concrete off the area rather than deal with the corpse.

I appreciate that my favorite coffee shop individually makes every matcha drink with the whisking and everything but I also think if you order one when the line is nearly 30 people deep you should think about your choices.

The Louvre heist has illustrated for me that we are in desperate need for a better class of criminal in this world. I get like 10 spam calls in a day of people trying to scam me out of money. They should be putting that energy into more creative outlets, like planning museum heists.
