If you asked me to guess the kind of kerfuffle that might develop between a Cape Breton fiddler and AI, I would have answered, well, my entire knowledge of Cape Breton fiddling is based on the paper “Cape Breton Fiddling and Intellectual Property Rights”, so my guess would be just “the normal AI stuff”. And I’d be totally wrong and reminded that just because I know one thing about something doesn’t mean it’s the only thing.

Well, we do have computer science, so necessarily we must have computer religion/superstition

a rationalist, catcalling: “nice gametes”

oh thanks, this is great.

yes now that it is pointed out, very eugenics-y to go around saying “ah yes there is one true supreme bacteria, we should culture this bacteria on the human petri dish aka vagina”

Congrats on the bottom surgery youngster joey

Well, he’s a tech ceo guy, so he doesn’t know that buses or trains exist

ok so just imagine that I’ve sneered at the 100 worst aspects of this already. lol @ this being the fifth point

I was thinking of an LLM trained on sovereign citizens. AKA “I’m not hallucinating, I’m generating. There is no such thing as copyright under maritime law”

I have mixed feelings about speaking things into existence

Wake me up when there’s an agentic butt plug

I was recommended allbirds by my piano teacher. They suck

Riding this high for a while folks

Old by modern standards but this dramatic reading of some shit the suno guy said got me to laugh: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVLmCoNj_PB/

Did I mention that one of your more recent eps covered some shit so odious I stress ate a pile of oreos? Keep up the good work

I started using duolingo for japanese in maybe 2022 and quit in maybe 2024. I did 4 years of Japanese in high school and so I had a vague memory of grammar and some vocab. Duo didn’t really improve my situation; I think all i got out of duolingo was frustration.

Also, I can’t speak to other examples of it, but the gamification was ass. Games are usually trying to be fun.

ok ngl I didn’t actually read the article at first (can you blame me) but since you pointed that out, FUCK. That’s so fucking pathetic. I was imagining a scenario where scott had met epstein IRL but had gotten “jock” vibes from him and decided not to associate based on that.

nice. this would probably make a roko’s basilisk believer uncomfortable and i like that

was doomscrolling and got fucking jumpscared by this fucking article: https://www.science.org/content/article/meet-three-scientists-who-said-no-epstein

Istg this has come up before, i am just too lazy to prove it. Still. Why would anyone want this
