The average user who leaves doesn’t want to read daily Discworld quotes, and we are better off without them.

This is true, but only if the infrastructure to support it is in place. Automatic deployments, monitoring, automated testing, feature flags, etc.

The dog’s quiet.

I want my kids to play the claw machine so that they don’t get addicted to slot machines.

The claw machine is so obviously rigged as to be an instructional tool.

So instead of Terminator style Doomsday, the robots are just going to be really passive aggressive to us?

It could be worse.

Which is good because I curse out the Walgreens telephone robot until it gets a human for me.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

If you’re cold; they’re cold. Please take your pets inside.

Saints fans hate Tampa and Carolina a healthy amount. The hatred for Atlanta is entirely unhealthy.

Pandora’s Box is just sitting forgotten on the metaphorical shelf of metaphors.

an email from Nilay Patel, my editor in chief: We are holding CHIPWRECKED Inbox Nilay Patel 7:56 AM (2 minutes ago) to Elizabeth Elizabeth - as I’m sure you know by now, I have decided to hold your piece on Nvidia, GPU depreciation, and the fundamental instability of the AI economy, which we have tentatively titled CHIPWRECKED.

I’ve had sweet “cornbread” that tasted great. But I wouldn’t dunk it in chili, therefore it wasn’t cornbread but corncake.

What’s funny about the Disney YoutubeTV fight is that Disney probably doesn’t realize no one at Google is paying attention.

They deployed YoutubeTV, earned their promotions, and moved on to the next product.

That table deserves nothing less.

"yes bro eat excel take it away" - a tiny tortoise is trying to eat the green excel logo from the task bar of a pc.

Of course. It’s a Honda.

I think Altman assumes that “PhD-level expert” means someone who speaks confidently on everything as opposed to saying “it’s nuanced,” losing their keys, and getting maniacally fixated on their current topic to the point of seeing it in everything.

This is a sci fi future we were promised.

3. Your small dog should get training. Yes, that dog in particular.

You need to start using it in the cringiest ways you can. Rob the word of its power.

Like setting a controlled burn ahead of a forest fire.

The “If I had a nickel for every time. I’d only have two, but it’s weird that it happened twice” meme applies here.
