Hello and welcome to Bluesky I guess. I created this app and populated it with chat bots so I could pretend I had friends to talk to. I have no idea why the rest of you are here.

Anyone who thinks an LLM is “miraculous” is not a serious person. You have the mind of an infant, and Silicon Valley is jingling its keys at you. Maybe your next article should be about where mommy went when she said peek-a-boo

Doctor Sparkles, chief of clown surgery, walks across the parking lot after a tiring shift. Her shoes squeak with each weary step. She takes a long, loud drag on a kazoo before getting in the car along with eleven of her colleagues.

When Covid caused NYC offices to hollow out what they found was that yeah the core business districts suffered but the neighborhoods where people actually live, thrived.
All WFH means is rethinking business districts, not cities.

if you cant go in to the office 3 days a week then you really can't complain when cities are hollowed out. cities are places where ppl work and network. getting rid of that makes cities useless
And it's usually something like "but that's not what the literal DNC does!" as if I don't know, as someone who has worked on Dem campaigns, sometimes in conjunction with the DNC what they do. So I'm going to be very specific here: this is the DNC being shitty: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

"Figure out how we can put this on a press release" seems like the driving force behind the entire AI bubble
i have heard tell of a company telling studios to implement some form of AI in their process (doesn't matter what) so that they can tell their bosses AI is being used to make a show

If I were a billionaire I wouldn’t even be on social media. Someone said something about me? None of my business. I’d be too busy building schools and hospitals in remote villages and/or a colossal model railroad to be online at all.

At 5 a.m. on Nov. 9, 1942, German submarine U-518 dropped off Werner von Janowski at Chaleur Bay, Quebec.
His orders were to go to Montreal to conduct espionage.
It didn't take long to raise the suspicions of locals.
This is the story of a pretty terrible spy.
