Optimist: The glass is half full!

Pessimist: The glass is half empty!

Me: This isn’t Gin & Tonic? Excuse me!? Hello? I must’ve gotten the wrong order.

Optimist: the cup is half full

Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Linguist: quantities are described with regard to a reference state; thus we can efficiently convey whether the cup was more recently full or empty

CATHOLIC CHURCH: No meat on Fridays!

ME: Okay, so, no eggs for breakfast.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: No, eggs are okay.

ME: But eggs are chickens, right?

CATHOLIC CHURCH: No, not until they hatch.

ME: OH. So, a thing isn't a thing until it's born?

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Correct. No, WAIT -

Att uttrycket ”close but no cigar” kommer från att man under tidiga versioner av tivolispel i regel hade cigarrer som förstapris när man skulle skjuta/kasta/snurra rätt. Uttrycket kommer alltså från att man nästan vunnit cigarren, men inte. Detta i alla fall enligt min fru.

Jeg så en beskrive cyber trucks som "Den æske, en Delorean blev leveret i". Det er faktisk det eneste, der ville give mening.

I’ve worked in tech support, trust me.
The only thing worse than people is a computer who pretends it’s people…
Well that and the people who pretend the computer us people in order to drive up stock value.

Infuriatingly dystopian.

EXECUTIVE OF AI STARTUP: (smiles serenely) we get people to kill their dogs
A woman in the audience asked if VERA followed up to make sure her diagnosis had been right. The CEO leaned an elbow on the podium. "I'll tell you a story," he said. A woman wrote to VERA about her elderly dog, who was having diarrhea. "Your dog is at the end of his life," said VERA. "I recommend euthanasia." The woman was beside herself. She told VERA she wasn't ready to say goodbye. Her dog was her only companion. VERA knew the woman's location. She sent a list of nearby clinics that could get the job done. Still, the woman was unconvinced. Euthanasia was so expensive. She'd never be able to afford it. VERA sent another list, this time of nearby shelters. "If you relinquish your dog to a shelter, they will euthanize him at no cost," she said. The woman did not respond. But some days later she sent VERA a long and effusive message. She had taken VERA's advice and euthanized her dog. She wanted to thank VERA for the support during the most difficult moment of her life. The CEO regarded us with satisfaction for his chatbot's work: that, through a series of escalating tactics, it had convinced a woman to end her dog's life, though she hadn't wanted to at all. "The point of this story is that the woman forgot she was talking to a bot," he said. "The experience was so human."

This is how they made Mad Cow Disease: by feeding cow brains to cows.

So some news here: it turns out that if you

(a) build a machine that emits slop created from ground-up stolen creative human labour

(b) stop feeding it human labour and direct the slop pipe back into its input hole

it breaks down and explodes

Maybe I should actually try to be more active here.

Did I miss anything?

"jag har aldrig sett en död människa" sade min chef när vi diskuterade ett jobb på bårhuset här i stan.
Det har jag tänkte jag när han sade det.
En kompis ringde mig när jag var på jobb och sade att han behövde prata.
Jag sade att jag kommer efter jobbet.
Kommer dit och ringer på dörren. Ingen >

When "tech" meant faster computers and smaller phones, it was exciting, you wanted to know what they were going to come up with next. Now it's a bunch of assholes trying to figure out new ways to charge you a subscription to look at the shittiest ads you can imagine

Religion skulle vara en så oerhört mycket bättre idé om inte människor var så enastående benägna till att omvandla alla trossystem till dödskulter.

Pornbottarna på Twixxer börjar bli jävligt tröttsamma så jag får kanske börja hänga här.

Några speciella jag borde följa?
