it seems like the overarching mission plan in tech ATM is:

1. use AI to burn out the domain experts
2. ???
3. profit

wishing the inventor of the @everyone mention in discord a very "literally experience a reply-to-everyone email chain every work day of the rest of their life"

i think as a species we should ban two-stroke lawncare engines. and destroy them all, in a single great spectacle. a moment of unity, to celebrate the end of the dread beasts.

well. AP-NORC has him at 33% approval. on the one hand that's still too high, but on the other hand, in the context of american politics jesus christ, he's heading for bush and nixon numbers, and perhaps more importantly... the floor broke. his _loyal supporters_ are leaving.

Watching a cult take over your industry is very distressing.

RE: @zzt@mas.to

"fuck you, make me" is always the correct answer to fascists. this is a simple truth that apparently is hard as hell to teach

having seen what MCP _is_ i'm shocked it took this long

commentary limited because migraine but tldr: MCP is a generic API for machine use of all the things (okay...) oriented around LLMs (um...) that has a fundamental assumption that you're giving the LLM the precise set of perms you do (... excuse me?).

but then it's just a photo with literally the entire town in it

oh right. i feel depressed because my estrogen's currently "i'm YOLO DIYing to tide me over" tier out of wack

The primary job of many, many white collar roles is to say "no, that's a bad idea." That's why we invented the "yes, that's a great idea" machine!

Oh, fuck.

ended up looking a little at the laura croft remaster collection...
oh no it's got AI scaling on the textures and the cutscenes. you can turn it off to get the vintage crunchy graphics, but that's the default. and not only is it AI graphics scaling, it's _circa 2024_ AI graphics scaling.
why... why did they _ship_ that? it doesn't look like high-end graphics, it looks like an amateur "high end" texture pack -- that is to say, like ass!
