100% group fitness classes. Orange Theory. I joined boxing, and lost 50+ pounds. Plus I met super nice people, and might have learned a little technique too. If you're single, I've been to two gyms (first one close) and both had majority 20-35 year old women (who could knock me out in seconds).

"This included alleged representations that CaaStle earned $66.3 million on revenue of $439.9 million in 2023, when it actually lost $81 million on revenue of $15.7 million." - Seriously, why would someone attempt to pull this? This lie seems really easy to catch. I don't get it?

"Fake it til you make it" is near-universal in the space. You just never hear about the ones who do make it.

Do investors do due diligence anymore?

> The lawsuit also alleges that Gemini, which exchanged romantic texts with Jonathan Gavalas, drove him to stage an armed mission that he came to believe could bring the chatbot into the real world.

Maybe "The Terminator" got it wrong. Autonomous robots might not wipe out humanity. Instead AI could use actual human disciples for nefarious purposes.


"Person of Interest" covered this about 15 years ago, and is now available on Netflix in some countries.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress covered this about 60 years ago.

Although I did find PoI fun too. Gets a little bit of case-of-the-week syndrome sometimes.


I love the case-of-the-week nature of it. Every TV series should work like the X-Files, all be monster-of-the-week while building up the overall macroplot.

Daemon (2006) and sequel Freedom (TM) (2010) by Daniel Suarez are also on that theme.

Neuromancer before that.

Humans have genocided each other throughout history. Not too far-fetched to think an AI could lead one.

It's possible that it already is, given there are already signs of the US administration leaning on AI. Perhaps they're leaning a bit too heavily and getting the kind of confirmation / feedback they crave?

If they then feedback to the AI the outcomes of current actions, who knows where that'll lead next?

I've seen some code reviews go like,

"Why did you write this async void"

"Claude said so".

Is that so far from:

"Why did you use nukes?"

"ChatGPT said so".

It's entirely possible that humanity simply follows AI to their doom.

Does that make me an AI doomer?


Yes, the AI leading one through a human figurehead would probably be the way it happened.

So I can run shell from a Miracle Piano connected to a NES running Linux?

I try to (relive my youth and) buy my kids action figures and they could care less. Injection molded plastic hunks can't compete with the dopamine hit of Roblox or Dogman books.

I saw an item for sale on Ali Express's video and I thought "Wow, they hired some really attractive actors to pitch their little gadget." 30 seconds in, I realized they used GenAI. Not because it looked AI, but because the production values looked too high and professional for the item. I would get in on this if you sell anything online.


One thing I notice is that the voices in video AI are absolute hogwash. Voice AI is great, video AI is great, but AI videos where humans speak give me the feel of really poorly dubbed foreign TV - the timing is not quite right and the facial expressions don’t always match up with the words being spoken.


They can even combine the models, create the presenters with nano banana and then use that as the reference for a video model and paste in your product


"the most frequently occurring letters in typical English text are e-t-a-o-n-r-i." But "Wheel of Fortune" told me to guess R-N-S-T-L-E!


It's not contradictory. Wheel of Fortune only gives you one vowel for free, e is the most common, same as here.

Wheel of Fortune gives you several consonants, order matters less, and both lists share n r and t.


I recommend AMC+ if you like horror because you also get Shudder. I get to watch Joe Bob Brigg's "Last Drive In."

Plus all the Prestige Y2K Television - Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead.


Tough guys with Mullets that blasted Metallica said "Mint" (term of approval) every sentence back in 1980's Long Island. I just learned it also meant "a trace of homosexual tendencies" a few decades prior.

With all due respect, genuinely, what are you talking about?

I don't read any angst in that comment, just an interesting observation about local slang and the history of similar words.

Also if you're not supposed to comment about culture or identity in a thread about slang, a very cultural and identity specific concept, what's the point of the article?


Your comment reeks of elitism and condescension. If you're this upset over a public comment on a public forum, perhaps you should take your needless pedantry to a private forum where you can moderate out anyone with differing perspectives.


when you read the parent comment, "Tough guys with Mullets that blasted Metallica said "Mint" (term of approval) every sentence back in 1980's Long Island", you didn't think to write, "Your comment reeks of elitism and condescension"?


I used to carry a physical notebook, but now I just Brain Dump to a (now giant and growing) Notepad++ Text file.


Especially powerful if that text file is a Markdown file. The sidebar TOC view then becomes a powerful navigation aid.


I used to do that but switched to Logseq and love it. Most people use obsidian.


Top of the file or end?
