The US economy is 100% on coyote time.

It wouldn’t matter if everyone came to their senses today. All the money that’s been invested into AI is gone. It has been turned into heat and swiftly-depreciating assets and can never be recouped.

It’s surreal isn’t it?

Eric Cartman earnestly believing he invented the fish stick joke

A type 2 supernova, but dumber

Either that or making a sale. They are excellent salespeople

They managed to successfully cold-call the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Yeah, I thought that it read like a guy who constantly denies rumors about having an enormous wang.

Ngl, Iron Council made me ugly cry.

Also highly recommend Machineries of Empire by Yoon Ha Lee.

It’s got romance. It’s got swashbuckling. It’s got vendettas. A woman smashes a genocidal empire with mathemagic. Conversely, the empire’s greatest general is an effortlessly cool gay dude with dyscalculia from the Korean part of Space Texas who lives in people’s shadows, and it makes sense how that happened. The genocide happens because of a lone maniac’s insane tech debt. Different factions try to subvert each other via cleverly designed board games. There are soooo many unhealthy relationships.

Good on ya for not letting the bastards steal your joy.

How long till the next-gen grifters thought leaders begin filtering into sneerspaces en masse and claiming that they saw the collapse coming before anyone else?

It’d be lovely to see the correct folks build a better one with blackjack and webhooks.

Disappointed that no one has tried to sell the US government an “Agent Smith” smh

Quantum Computing Since Diogenes by Karl Snarx

I eagerly await the day when we hear about these people from 1-900-HOTDOG instead of Behind the Bastards

This story gives “Bezos buying random cassettes at the gas station” doesn’t it?

Tony Soprano talking to his therapist about roko’s basilisk

Who’s left to do actual work? Who would start a new project that depends on these institutions? Does ruby just die now?

Also:

When the Advanced Custom Fields plugin was stolen by WordPress, DHH said “This is totally crazy. Like if the operators of rubygems dot org just decided to expropriate the official Rails gems, hand over control to a new team, and lock the core team out of it. We’re in uncharted and dangerous territory for open source now. What a sad sight."
