Generally how I operate too. The key is enriching for me. If you’re a piece of shit who’s alive and collecting royalties, I’ll do everything I can not to add to them. If I already own your creation, I’ll use that instead of streaming/renting/buying. If I don’t, I’ll just find something else.

It’s like when the owners of Chick-Fil-A turned out to be horrendous bigots. Everybody was saying “but there are so many people working there that aren’t homophobic - are you going to hurt them too?” Afraid so. I’m not going to contribute to the success of a hateful person for a fucking chicken sandwich. Working for them is also contributing to the success of those bigots and their efforts in trying to destroy people I love, so I’m afraid I can’t be very sympathetic. The job market for hate needs to have downward pressure on it.

I think 8 is the biggest steaming pile of garbage ever, but 7 was simple fun and 9 would have been decent if it wasn’t forced to rebuild the china shop that 8 had just rampaged through. The Last Jedi took every bit of work building a narrative that 7 had done, piled it up, shat on it, then lit it on fire, all in the name of trying to be a cool rogue auteur. 9 had no choice but to do inane contortions like “somehow, Palpatine returned” because there were no fucking villains left alive.

Rian Johnson should never be allowed within a hundred miles of a beloved franchise he didn’t create. He can keep making Knives Out, but I will die on the hill that The Last Jedi is a selfish, senseless, poorly written piece of hackery.

Partial blame goes to Disney for not having the sequel trilogy plot predetermined in a story bible before ever putting the first ink to script.

Yeah I have a pretty solid supplier for now so I don’t bother making my own, but it doesn’t look that hard as long as you can find fenugreek.

Thanks! Some recipes include cayenne, some even to the point of being inappropriately spicy. This recipe looks about right though.

Ethiopian Berbere. Trust me. You can add it to almost anything when it needs a kick of earthy umami. We keep tons of it on hand because it’s shockingly useful for something so rarely used.

Don’t worry, the resulting class action lawsuit will make them atone for their crimes. Expect your $1.17 Venmo payment in 9-27 months.

I would leave a flaming wreck too.

You know I was just thinking that what OpenAI needs to really succeed is someone who knows how to haphazardly throw together a wildly irresponsible, insecure, and unsafe tool that gets really popular really quickly.

This, along with the story of the driverless car running over a beloved neighborhood cat, highlight the fundamental problem here: they’re training these systems to be autonomous cars - and they’re impressively close - but they’re still miles away from creating a simulation of an autonomous human. Not everything about operating a car is driving it.

Predates him but he’s known for his version of it. There’s an entire documentary of it.

Fair enough. Maybe I’m too old for the internet.

Is Homeland Security chasing bots? Because that’s the bottiest name I’ve ever seen. If so, please continue. 🍿

This was a question in a You Don’t Know Jack game, with the added “…64, if you relax.”

Tesla’s KPIs aren’t selling good cars or making customers happy. There’s only one, and it’s making money for investors. It’s never been worth anything close to its valuation. It’s just a tool (run by a tool) for tools to get rich on.

I downvote any article with this insanely sketchy domain format.
