“Here and Now” on @npr.org has a segment about horror books for Halloween … and the person they interview says she hates horror and doesn’t read it? Seriously? They couldn’t find someone who actually reads the genre? And she calls true crime and nonfiction horror? https://static.klipy.com/ii/8ce8357c78ea940b9c2015daf05ce1a5/c4/76/YtdJ9Wd4.gif?hh=498&ww=498&mp4=ohMce3ByDWUOPZdme&webm=7aNxzWNcSjxyNjuD

I'm gonna be insufferable with the "I told you so" comments when the AI bubble completely pops. It looks like we may be seeing the first real signs of that today. And I will not be happy to be right, because I have a feeling it's gonna tank the economy. Buckle up cuz it's gonna be fuckled up.

Honestly, I would not be surprised if Kegbreath fired him because he has a "girl's name" (Sylvia). [contains quote post or other embedded content]

When are tech journalists going to stop being stenographers for these AI broligarchs and call out this sci-fi bullshit? I am so tired of it.

"Did you hear about AI—" No, please. I don't care. "But Claude—" I said no, did you not hear me? "But Meta's new AI agent—" SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. >>Me, every goddam day.<< Generative AI is the most boring and annoying technology I have experienced in my long life as a tech enthusiast.

Listening to NPR's "On Point" and allegedly educated idiots are seriously proposing that AI—computer networks that mimic human conversation—can be conscious/sentient. It's rank idiocy, and Anthropic and others just spew this nonsense to boost their stocks. We live in an era of utter stupidity.

Join me and my actor/comedian/all around awesome pal Steve Berg for a discussion of extremism in esoteric and paranormal communities on the "High, Strangeness!" podcast. Despite the seriousness, we laugh a lot, because, well, Steve is one of the funniest people I know. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4c8Y1bDeZzkqD7oWwJguFk?si=DeqN-glhT9u9FFc1W0MvnQ&fbclid=IwY2xjawVHD2JleHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mBWJyaWQRMU1xQ3FHV0lPME5sRU1zNkJzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeGgfH2dC4Du98XUreOsIPFHFkCK0HN0dMReecUF7-Y8aFnV4oi9WF9FBQ2RU_aem_zra8w7OxjNhG5N5fKZ3PdA&nd=1&dlsi=74b8ad05afbe4d34

If they give me a test where I have to differentiate between a bunch of cartoon animals, I’m gonna get really worried about my mental function.
