A shop front with “The Ultimate Laser Adventure” written on it. The upper storey is completely missing and surrounding buildings are charred.

They weren’t kidding.

$10 says he used AI to come up with that.

Anakin/Padme meme: “AI will replace all our jobs” “And then we’ll all get a base income to, you know, eat and enjoy ourselves!” *blank stare* “And then we’ll all get a base income to, you know, eat and enjoy ourselves?”

It's my birthday this weekend. I'd love it if you helped me celebrate by buying yourself or a loved one a book of mine. Or two. 🎂 🖤

I love the Melbourne food scene. Worked in the city for 20 years and eaten at a truckload of awesome spots, but now I have a new one to add to the To Do list.

Some kid is going to come and chuck a poke ball at you if you’re not careful.

Looks like TACO has kicked the can down the road for another fortnight.

I’d also be happy with that. Should I hit you up at the end of the month?

Will there be some sort of package deal? Not sure how I missed the original.

Still watching!

A coin-operated aeroplane ride, suitable for briefly entertaining a three year old.

I always wanted to be a pilot but hated all that “learning to read instruments” and “paying attention”. Now it’s fun as hell.

I would define “greater control” as me picking what I want to see, not a bot, but hey I’m no tech genius 🤷‍♂️

@Daractenus For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

This summed it up for me about as well as it is summuppable.

Any help spreading the word about this series of unashamedly Australian horror would be massively appreciated. Thanks! 🖤

Been watching the whole campaign from a different hemisphere. Seeing everything we do on US politics at a distance, I was just waiting for you to go through the established order like a dose of salts. Whatever you do, don’t stop here.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

I think his biggest gripe is that someone else thinks they get to do it.

Because we’re not all shills of Big Footwear, Simon.

Reminds me of that old pearl of wisdom “any machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough”.

Travelling the length a few years back I noticed there also seems to be a dog/cat divide somewhere north of Rome. Stray cats everywhere until suddenly stray dogs. I was waiting for a West Side Story rumble.
