Having worked in two different global corporations with email lists numbering in the thousands of members, well…
Let’s say it did provide occasional comic relief as various vice presidents would reply to the reply-alls in an attempt to get the cascade of (often intentionally) idiotic replies to stop.
Good times.

The structure you describe is called a Soleta. If you are interested, space nerds have explored the possibilities in some detail.

Yeah, you get it. I aim to trivialize the oligarchy. I think the idea that we can make the world better at nearly zero cost. The only cost is the therapy bills of the former billionaires, as they work through their butthurt at being reduced to mere opulence.

I cannot un-hear this.
I need to listen to it but i think adding ‘again’ at the end matches the original cadence better.
I’m going to learn to sing this. It will come in handy for comic value certainly.

Yeah, it’s a very creepy experience to walk through a corn field at night in July.
Definitely no place for children. If you see any, run like hell. ;)

The satisfying plop of a placenta hitting the floor really makes the night shift more enjoyable.

A plant can use water efficiently, in terms of getting a lot of CO2 in exchange for the water they transpire, and still use a lot of water.
Corn grows super fast at peak season.

I prefer the second option. That means he is alive and can still find love as a wiser but sadder monkey. There is more room in a broken heart.
- Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout 1 week ago:
Zuck owns more than Facebook, too. ANY big social media platform is similarly toxic.
These people have co-opted our social discourse for evil causes. And they aren’t the only way to share work online.
Creative people do not have a right to my admiration if they provide fresh bait that the oligarchs use to degrade democracy and civil society
- Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout 1 week ago:
Nah, if you are feeding the Zuck, not my team. The principled creatives aren’t there.
It sucks to try to make a living as a creative. But giving your efforts to support social media platforms controlled by the worst people is inexcusable. Zuck literally and provably helped the fascists gain power.
The creatives I can respect create because they are compelled to. They work jobs and create when they can. They share their work on less shitty platforms and in actual real life.
- Comment on The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon 1 week ago:
I remember at my first job in high school in a store on Main Street. We had a sidewalk sale with other business owners.
My innocence was lost when my boss instructed me to place higher prices using our ordinary white stickers and then cover them with orange sales stickers at slightly higher prices.
These dicks just do it at scale. Amazon is a tawdry crime organization. We all know it.
- Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout 1 week ago:
Boo hoo, losers. Your device has a power switch. Influencers have a warped and inflated sense of the value they create. They can stop at any time and use their skills in other ways.
Making good content is hard, but ‘good’ content doesn’t have an expiration date. Shallow brain-rot content does and that’s what the algorithms reward.
The entitlement that influencers have is nauseating. There are many creators out there laboring in near obscurity and producing useful content all the time for little or no compensation.
They are tools for Zuck and fools for propping his platforms up. It sounds like a hard slog, but they can stop any time.

Listen here, you little shit.
JK, you are correct. I prefer punishingly steep progressive taxation over asphyxiation as a solution.

Then WHY THE FUCK AREN’T WE ACTING LIKE IT!!!
Sir, I apologize for my inappropriate display of emotion. But seriously, I think almost everyone would agree with this statement if asked in a vacuum.

- Comment on Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote 2 weeks ago:
I don’t buy it.
A diversity of regulatory approaches especially in such a complex subject really does need the 50 state laboratory.
In fact because states are smaller markets, it might encourage the development of more smaller companies. A complex regulatory landscape gives an efficiency edge to players who focus product development in specific states.
Anything to keep this shitshow happening in a more democratic way is fine by me. Anthropic and that Altman fellow seem so desperately out of touch with humanity, I welcome any disadvantages we can give them.

I miss my Razr. It had the most satisfying feel and look when you flipped it open, star trek communicator style.
- Comment on Does using ChatGPT change your brain activity? Study sparks debate 3 weeks ago:
It definitely does in my experience. I have intentionally used it for specific tasks for defined periods of time. And then stopped and used only my normal online search tools and a text editor without AI assistance. My projects were written concept development, plus some light coding to create utility scripts.
From just my own experience there is definitely a real cognitive hazard associated with using LLMs at all, for all but the most specialized tasks where an LLM is really warranted.
The scripts worked fine, as they were quite simple python utilities for some data cleaning, so I see a use there. But I found that the concepts never caught fire in my imagination, whereas usually a good share of concepts developed manually turn into something that gets a deeper treatment, even a prototype design at least.

Lucky people. They will have a period of mourning and then enter a cultural renaissance.

Websites work very well and are scalable af. A plugged in person with a track record like that could go Web 2.0 and probably net more.
