AI quota inflation is no token effort. It's baked in Opinion: We've been here before. This time, we may not get out

Not only is AI shit, it's going to have to lock you in, and then charge you a *lot* more for those tokens. And don't ask what a token is

Great work, thanks

My view is that showing up with a completely new bike and being within 1 second is quite remarkable anyway

I also agree with @denkmit.bsky.social that the rule changes for 27 will turn the grid upside down. Assuming the Ducati will be best is classic recency bias

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

A screenshot of a tweet from the New York Post, saying that an alarming study reveals the universe will end much, much sooner than previously estimated. This is true, but much, much sooner for something that was already unimaginably distant isn't really relevant. Spoiler alert: The heat-death of the universe is not going to be what kills you, keep your alarm fresh for things that could conceivably happen in the near future. I mean, for fuck's sake, we're living through the Trump era. We might not even see Thursday.

How alarmed should you be?

If you built a time-machine that could, for 1 second spent inside, leap the amount of time that separates us from the dinosaurs, then you spent your whole life inside, travelling forwards, you'd die of old age before getting to 0.000000033% of the way to the new date.

All of a sudden, after months of total darkness, there is hope. There is a sense that liberal democracy can still triumph against the populist threat, it can withstand the joint assault from the Kremlin and the White House.
