9·2 months agoAh, the innocence of youth.
7·2 months agoThe same nonsense is invading all of my feeds as well. These things need to be required to label their AI usage so they can be filtered out.
I enjoyed hearing about meme crossovers in a recurring Reply All segment where they would take a host who didn’t understand a complicated Tweet and break down all the pieces.
Here’s an excerpt that stuck with me:
PJ: Dog underscore rates. Ok. So, there is a–there is a Twitter account, uh, that has over 2 million followers.
ALEX BLUMBERG: Ok.
PJ: And it is devoted to rating peoples’ dogs,
ALEX BLUMBERG: Rating them.
PJ: Yeah. So like, scale of one to ten?
ALEX BLUMBERG: Ohhhh.
PJ: Except they always give them above 10. Like, every single time. Um, can I just show you the best moment in WeRateDogs™’ history? Where a guy got angry, that he thought the ratings system was skewed?
ALEX BLUMBERG: Uh, so, this guy Brant?
PJ: Yeah.
ALEX BLUMBERG: He was like, “@dog_rates You’re rating system sucks! Just change your name to cute dogs!” And then WeRateDogs™ wrote back: “Why are you so mad, Bront?” And then he said, “Well, you give every dog 11s and 12s, it doesn’t even make any sense!” (laughing) That’s a guy who is not in on the joke.
PJ: Yes.
ALEX BLUMBERG: (laughing) And then WeRateDogs™–and then WeRateDogs™ says, “They’re good dogs, Brent.” Brant: “It’s a cheap gimmick!” WeRateDogs™: “Well Brint, (laughing) the people love it and I’m doing it for them, not you.” Uh. Brent: “All I’m saying is you could have real legitimate ratings instead of every just saying (laughing) every dog is a 10, 11, or 12”
PJ: So like, that is basically–that is like a good encapsulation of what is good about this.
ALEX BLUMBERG: (laughing)
PJ: (laughing) Alex Blumberg is losing his mind.
ALEX BLUMBERG: Oh, “They’re good dogs, Brent” is really funny.
Here’s the episode: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/o2ho9j
Miss that show.
Probably they find net zero (minus cost of hiring musicians) preferred over paying out a moderate income to actual artists. Capitalism at its finest.
Ah, thanks for the correction, never done it myself and learned about it a long time ago so I’m not surprised I remembered it wrong.
I have heard that spore prints are a reliable way of determining mushroom species (removing the stem, putting the underside of the mushroom on an ink pad, pressing against paper, and comparing the print with those of known species).
I bet an AI could analyze that data pretty well. But since there’s really no market for such a product, if I want it, I would have to make it myself. In which case I highly advise against using it because I really don’t trust me.
When you’re here, you’re ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʟᴇᴀᴠɪɴɢ.
The US is developing? That’s great news!

Check if it is Tuesday.
Certainly sounds like it. If you experience any intrusive acronyms like adc, cs, ks, ffs, or smh, it’s advised that you quarantine outside the home and take minimum of two “touch grass” per day until symptoms improve.
We didn’t scratch the disc
It was always scratched, you can ask the cat
One day we will commit to a git repo where we will be judged not by the pointyness of our banana but the contents of our peel.
You would if you’d seen my cabinet impression.
I don’t think a screwdriver would illuminate much at all. You are a bit crazy.
