“We’re having trouble with AI solving problems. Let’s solve the problem with AI.”

It’s not strictly a bad idea or doomed or anything, but it makes me sad.

I’ve heard blood can substitute for egg. Maybe a giant shit omelet instead?

Am I allowed to mix concrete with the blood of traitors to create a (probably very large) shit emoji?

It’s a MINERAL, Marie.

I would suggest redirecting slightly. Every single publicly traded tech company eventually fully enshittifies into predatory ad/data revenue generation due to the fundamental requirement that they not only generate profit, but that they consistently generate growth.

I could create an amazing app, sell it for $5, and if 5 million people download it and I don’t sell out or incorporate and go public, I could just cruise on it and retire happily. There’s no intrinsic pressure to switch profit models because I don’t owe anybody shit.

Yeah, it has its flaws, but I think if you just give it a chance and don’t obsess over the Star Warsness of it, it’s just a fun movie.

As an American, I am not an accelerationist, but I am somewhat darkly satisfied to see the military industrial complex reach the Find Out stage.

They’ve been added to the watchlist.

Wait, is that the watchlist?

Yeah that’s the one. Whew, for a minute I thought we added them to the war planning chat.

Wait, fuck.

Amanita minute to get ready for some real talk in this thread.

You seem like a fungi

If 6 is the Papermate felt tip, then that one. I like the static tip. Otherwise, probably 3, the upstart Sharpie.

A couple random ones:

Sneakers is the OG hacker film. If you haven’t seen it, it’s an absolute must. It’s a computer-driven heist film from the 90’s and even though the tech aged, the movie holds up beautifully.

Believe it or not, I’m gonna recommend Solo: A Star Wars Story. It is, at its heart, a sci-fi heist flick.

Repeat after me: LLMs do not have intelligence.

Get in losers, we’re going rotting.

Assjowl?

List of things that needed to be improved upon from the original film:

That game was the mutt’s nuts. I’m still looking for a good way to replay it. I still remember how blown away I was when, in classic Bond fashion, it just threw me into a completely badass car chase/sniper mission before even showing a title screen.

Fun fact: there was a GBA port that, while it is pretty clunky in a lot of ways, is also unbelievably ambitious for the platform. Full 3D engine, multiple paths through levels, etc. It’s worth trying if you’re a big Nightfire and/or retro technology nerd.

Fun fact (because there’s nothing more fun than technicality!): Technically it wasn’t his life’s work. Well before his work on nuclear fission, Oppenheimer was actually responsible for originally theorizing the existence of both antimatter and black holes. He was a more intuitive physicist than a technical one, so he didn’t follow through on these ideas, instead letting others carry the work forward.

A lot of it is that depending on who your party ends up being, it stitches together each one’s ending, so beating the game may let you watch several of said endings. You don’t have to beat it 86 times.

That said, it’s still a crazy game.

Glad to meet a fellow traveler. It’s a gem. I should play through it again too. I have so many little retro emulator handhelds I’m sure I could get through it on one of them in my spare time.
