  1. he is indeed a genius. i think comics know, and people in the industry know that he's sort of a comedy GOAT. had his hands in so many things as a writer.. showed up all over the place and has a lot of famous/successful friends who he collaborates w/now and then.
  2. "and another thing..." https://www.citizen.org/article/mushroom-risk-ai-app-misinformation/
  3. at first i was thinking "JFC nuke from orbit" but he gets into classic triumph mode once he gets going. pretty funny one liners in there.
  4. yeah.. probably at some point those bands will be playing a few covers of songs produced by Ai though.
  5. I typically use DuckDuckGo. Sometimes I use google. Once I scroll down passed the ads the results seem better than DuckDuckGo sometimes. Usually I go to google when I’m frustrated. But sometimes google frustrates as well and I go back to DuckDuckGo. I’ve not looked at kagi. Typically I’m going to the same sites all the time or typing in a website with a guess. Or asking a question with a couple key words. I use Adblock. It’s fine. I hate Firefox. I used it some back in the day and after a while it shit the bed routinely. Typically I use safari and once in a while chrome when safari is being dumb which is usually when I need to input stuff into a form. regarding the free principles the internet was founded on. I was trying to make a point that those principles were murder long ago for the most part.
  6. i think all the jurors already got doxxed. he is going to intimidate them nonstop. also, his maga chuds will be hell to deal with. it only takes one juror to hang things up right?
  7. meanwhile https://www.texasobserver.org/water-energy-environment-corpus/ full story
  8. Reason as a name would make the child the Reaper of its own rewards.
  9. sometimes there's a trade.. principles aren't free.. hence advertising and incoming Ai enshitification.. whereas paying $5 a month seems to get rid of the commercialization SEO adfuckery aspect of it all.. so.. perhaps the principles are maintained.. for $5 a month.
  10. that's 2 self immolations this year. will there be more? someone is 1 bad customer service experience away from continuing the trend. not to make light.. because fucking brutal way to go and the guy's screams.. ugh. heartbreaking. he lived so is only in for more absolute pain and torture with the treatment etc.. if he survives beyond potential infections etc i can't even.. it's just going to be misery all the time. but wtf. 2 in one year.. ugh. if this becomes a thing in america.. idk.. beyond the edge.
  11. the Logic of that just fails. Digital Performer is the best name for a kid.
  12. it's like people buying those shitty stupid looking Yeezy sneakers because they just came out and dude was first in line so has the rare thing which makes him cool because people are fucking shallow and stupid. the video is sped up but.. well..
  13. there's no joke. the person who made that happen should be punished somehow.. something appropriate. it's awful. i don't want to see everything get ruined because "we can". there's no sacred cows but for fuck's sake spare us all this endless horseshit of nonsense novelties.
  14. he had a long history of depression and was hospitalized for a bit because of it. he wrote a lot about depression and did it as well as anyone has. you can google "david foster wallace depression quotes" and get a lot of returns. it's a bummer because he was on meds that worked but they were older meds and had some side effects that can make parts of life difficult. he was married and wanted to start a family so after lot's of thought and discussion w/his doctors they switched his meds. the new meds didn't work well. and as happens sometimes when switching those kinds of meds.. you can't go back.. because sometimes the old meds won't work any more because the brain.. synapses do a thing where they close off to those particular chemicals and the receptors do no update. he tried to go back to the olds but no go. so, he hung in there as long as he could I guess and was still writing. one or two of his friends said he was writing to simply escape boredom. then at some point in 2008 he hung himself in his kitchen. his final totally unfinished novel was released after he died. kind of a mixed bag of brilliance and tedium and half baked stuff. but the brilliant parts are brilliant. but suicide and depression are deep in a lot of his work. he handles it amazingly well and makes ideas about it very relatable. but reading it all after he died felt more revealing to me. had a different feel of course.
  15. oof. send them a message and walk it back or tell them you just committed to something for a certain amount of time or whatever... it's a fine line of obvious bullshit vs. a convincing story.. but the other option is to fess up and tell them you spoke w/o thinking and are obligated to hold up your end for other clients. you never know.. they could say "Well, we're prepared to offer you $1 billion and a foosball table"
  16. whoever made the mona lisa rap should lose a finger
