Brave Little Hitachi Wand

I guess I had a kneejerk, a lot of times when someone starts up like this it always feels like a veiled “people don’t like my favourite one” type of thing. He’s pretty even handed and nuanced beyond that, credit where credit is due.

As long as people are moving away from Windows and Mac, who cares? You’re never gonna convince most people that their OS should be interesting and worth talking about. Take the W.

But… He’s selling watermelons. Why isn’t he busy? 😭

That’s the best thing anyone has said all day as far as I’m concerned

See, I think the real reason an LLM is so unfunny is structural. They’re essentially mathematical models that pick the most likely next word given a set of conditions.

The only thing less funny than an LLM is comedy theory, so I’ll just say that surprise is essential to humour. You’d never laugh after hearing the most likely next word, would you? Knowing how to surprise people takes guile, ingenuity, and trauma.

If AI was this funny I’d probably betray humanity

Kinda yeah. Like I said I’m happy it’ll exist, it’s just that I don’t like to spend money on upgrades for the sake of upgrades.

The idea did occur to me a minute after I’d commented. After my PS4 gives up, I’ll have choices to make.

I don’t think I need it, but I’m super glad it’s going to exist.

If it came with a native DVD reader and my PS4 suddenly died, I’d have some choices to make, however.

Customer is always right

That would be a better movie if the ending showed him choosing, but didn’t tell us which he chose. Leave it heavily implicit, not to get people debating but to put the choice onto the viewer, connect that dot to how we choose to live our lives.

He looks untouched by his ordeal, but exactly like a dude who crashes cars

This one gets me every time I see it. I almost woke up my wife giggling

Does someone pay you to be boring? They should.

I’ve personally worked at multiple deli counters. By all accounts I was incredibly bad at it. The first time, on my first day I sliced the tip of my right thumb off down to the nub and shot arterial blood all through the display and got fired immediately. So I flatter myself that I am something of an authority on bad deli counter skills. And I tell you, this shit never happened.

The standard burger bun is brioche (not very nice brioche, granted, but they still call it that)

I mean, this shit never happened. Keeping that in mind, cringe is at an all time high. People are forgetting how to act.

The stories you’ve lived are the ones that seem more meaningful. For a guy, climax is a given, and sometimes the whole point just for maintenance purposes. The wholesome joy of a thing is made impure by ulterior motives. It took me a while to see it from the other side.
