NOT a great feeling to know that domestic terrorists are pillaging bad 2000s internet comedy and gamer memes as their branding, gotta be honest.

Like if Batman was real he'd need to have a whole other Robin whose job was just EXPLAINING all the dumb lore of every post-2010 criminal to Gordon.

Very few people have ever had anyone quite as dead to rights as Orson Welles had Woody Allen here.
cat-befriender.bsky.social Tim Bernaners-Lee @cat-befriender.bsky.social · Sep 10
Sounds a little bit like Orson Welles' opinion on Woody Allen:
An excerpt from Henry Jaglom's interview with Orson Welles, specifically thr part where Welles shares his opinion of Woody Allen. Relevant excerpt: "I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man ... I can hardly bear to talk to him. He has the Chaplin disease. That particular combination of arrogance and timidity sets my teeth on edge. ... He is arrogant. Like all people with timid personalities, his arrogance is ­unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably ­arrogant. He acts shy, but he’s not. He’s scared. He hates himself, and he loves himself, a very tense situation. It’s people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world—a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Everything he does on the screen is therapeutic."

We told you.

Every. Fucking. Time. We told them.

Crypto. NFTs. The metaverse. We told them *every time.* And still, they did not believe us.

Techbros pretended to throw a ball, and they run off like a loyal dog believing their master would never betray their trust.

They'll do it again, too.

It's seeming likelier and likelier that AI really could eliminate a lot of jobs very soon. Just not in the way boosters have suggested. www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...
Just How Bad Would an AI Bubble Be? The entire U.S. economy is being propped up by the promise of productivity gains that seem very far from materializing. By Rogé Karma The capability-reliability gap might explain why generative AI has so far failed to deliver tangible results for businesses that use it. When researchers at MIT recently tracked the results of 300 publicly disclosed AI initiatives, they found that 95 percent of projects failed to deliver any boost to profits. A March report from McKinsey & Company found that 71 percent of companies reported using generative AI, and more than 80 percent of them reported that the technology had no “tangible impact” on earnings. In light of these trends, Gartner, a tech-consulting firm, recently declared that AI has entered the “trough of disillusionment” phase of technological development. By one estimate, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Tesla will by the end of this year have collectively spent $560 billion on AI-related capital expenditures since the beginning of 2024 and have brought in just $35 billion in AI-related revenue. OpenAI and Anthropic are bringing in lots of revenue and are growing fast, but they are still nowhere near profitable. Their valuations—roughly $300 billion and $183 billion, respectively, and rising—are many multiples higher than their current revenues. (OpenAI projects about $13 billion in revenues this year; Anthropic, $2 billion to $4 billion.) Investors are betting heavily on the prospect that all of this spending will soon generate record-breaking profits. If that belief collapses, however, investors might start to sell en masse, causing the market to experience a large and painful correction. The dot-com crash was bad, but it did not trigger a crisis. An AI-bubble crash could be different. AI-related investments have already surpassed the level that telecom hit at the peak of the dot-com boom as a share of the economy. In the first half of this year, business spending on AI added more to GDP growth than all consumer spending combined. Many experts believe that a major reason the U.S. economy has been able to weather tariffs and mass deportations without a recession is because all of this AI spending is acting, in the words of one economist, as a “massive private sector stimulus program.” An AI crash could lead broadly to less spending, fewer jobs, and slower growth, potentially dragging the economy into a recession. The economist Noah Smith argues that it could even lead to a financial crisis if the unregulated “private credit” loans funding much of the industry’s expansion all go bust at once.

Here's a nice tip for buying a used laptop:

If it's a relatively modern unit and it ever had Windows 11 installed on it, even if it comes with no hard drive or a blank hard drive all you have to do is run the Windows 11 installer from a USB key.

It'll install an activated copy of Windows 11, free.

- Stephen King was on so much cocaine while he wrote "Cujo" that he says he doesn't even remember writing it.

- Speaking of Steve: The only book he's ever explicitly asked be allowed to drop out of print is "Rage," a weirdly predictive novel about a teen boy who shoots up a high school, from 1977.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard.

They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse.

Great work by @acvalens.net for VICE.

I think it's something like:

A-list - "they can sustain their own ongoing book"

B-list - "they can *sometimes* sustain their own ongoing book"

C-list - "they can sustain a miniseries"

D-list - "to be killed at the start of an event to raise stakes"

I have never felt this way but anime nerds under 30 have this “I am anime fan so I have to watch it all” bullshit mentality that got weird 15 years ago when I heard people were watching at 1.5 and 2 times normal speed to get things in. Saying “i am an anime fan” is like saying “i am a fan of TV”

P.S. DC is publishing a tie-in TPB for the movie collecting comic storylines that Gunn has cited as being *specifically* influential on #SUPERMAN and the new DCU:

"All Star Superman"
"Superman For All Seasons"
"Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow?"
"Kingdom Come"
