I totally misread your skeet to mean that people were caught by others using an AI system. I was like “Wow was that by finding criminal patterns or something?” Then I reread it properly and realised it was just lazy assholes using LLM to badly do their work.
The toilet in the new office has a sign outside saying that only natural products are used to clean it and there are no *unnatural* products used. Now I’m trying to think of unnatural products used for cleaning. Is ectoplasm any good?
I DM'd my first game of Dungeons and Dragons on Sunday. I completely forgot everything due to nervousness but two of my players know the game inside out and asked pointed questions about the rules that kept things flowing.
A chart from Our World In Data, showing the shift away from coal power in the UK - nearly 70% of electricity production in the late 1980s, to less than 0.1% in 2025.
There's a lot being shared right now about China's incredible shift towards renewable energy - and rightly so.
But this, from the UK, is equally astonishing & encouraging.
It's not just that change can happen. It's that it *is* happening.

Which one is the dish? Sam Neill?
Fine. ALL the blame goes on the people who used the LLM model to help them with their decision, and they get no protection just because they abrogated their responsibility to a plausible sentence generator, any more than they would if they used a magic 8 ball.
I read that it seems like the right time for King Arthur to return and save Britain. It got me thinking, who would King Arthur support, seeing as he opposed the Anglo Saxon invasion? Wouldn't King Arthur, the Lich Wizard Merlin and their undead armies just push the currrent leadership into the sea?
Thanks for giving it to me strait man!
Watching LifeForce on Prime which I haven’t seen since it was broadcast on telly when I was much too young. It’s actually amazing. Excellent special effects and creature work and the bits set in space are quite effective. A little amused that the international spacecraft had a single life pod though
Well that sounds like an interesting bit of 60’s sci fi erotica to read!
My first one with that style was Dungeon Crawler Carl, which I expected to hate but I actually really enjoyed. I tried another one and immediately loathed it though.
I wonder if you back that info out again by prompting “write me a memo written in the style of a private wealth manager called X to one of her clients called Y regarding the location and account number of their main account.”
It’s a HISSTORY! No wait.
Four panel comic of chameleons colored in the various LGBTQ+ flag colors. Panel 1) Someone has a gender you don't understand? *Several chameleons are in this panel with various flag colors*.

Panel 4) Super blurry action shot closeup of RC "but the language STILL EXISTS"
Je ne sais pas?

elon musk wielding a sword at joe rogan's studio. there's an american flag an a cow skull behind him.
the time has come to send elon to the strait of hormuz
We should get him a jacket for the occasion. In the spirit of naming clothes after areas of conflict popularising them we can call it a strait jacket.
That table looks too fragile for that beast.
They make them with wide gaps between the doors and the frame. Supposedly so they can spot people shooting up or having sex. I don’t think it’s universal but it’s quite common.
I hate US toilets cos the water is so lose to the top. Ugh
I mean they are clearly support straps for some sort of alien spacesuit.
I know, right?
Book Cover. Panther Science Fiction J.O.JEPPSON The Second Experiment Black background. Grey brown moonscape. An old school rocketship taking off with a massive tyrannosaur type creature with wings. She’s too big to fit inside.
I found it on my phone! I forgot the Tyrannosaur has wings which is a detail missing from the fossil record. She is riding on top of the ship as she’s too big to fit inside (from memory).
Likely! But I did buy a 60’s sci fi novel because it had a tyrannosaur riding a space ship and I thought “no way is this in the book!”. Surprisingly it actually had an intelligent lady tyrannosaur riding a spaceship in the plot.
we had this already it was called “the entirety of fantasy, SF, and horror”
(also I will reiterate for the thousandth time that MORE DUDES SHOULD READ ROMANCE, you are missing out)
Lurid green book cover. Whipping Star Frank Herbert Dazzling new book from the author of Dune Has the back of woman facing away from the reader looking at a bright star. She holds a whip.
I literally bought this today as I’m very curious if the lady on the cover has anything to do with the plot or if it’s the overactive imagination of the artists asked to illustrate “Whipping Star”
They even tried to help by calling it the far side rather than the misnomer “dark side” which makes people think it’s dark rather than just relatively unknown due to facing the other way.
I think they can cause a lot of disruption just by driving alongside each other at the most fuel efficient speed on their usual routes. It’s about 45-55 mph for a truck, so well below motorway limits.
He could have just said “I’m over the moon.”
This is somewhat similar to a plot from Constellation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constel... in that the people that go up to space may not be the same people that come back.
From Clickhole's "Incredible! We Asked These Astronauts What It’s Like To Be In Space," Barry Wilmore: You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.
One of the very best from Clickhole
