My cousin’s out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Chat duty.

I almost expected the two dates to use different formats, but no, they’re just both “the American way”.

So, assuming you got the time wrong and meant you could confuse year and time of day, ISO also puts time after date.

Which makes sense. Higher unit to lower unit.

Won’t be true after 9999-12-31, however.

Because of his “edgy”, shitty provocative humour and how high profile he was, he’s generally considered one of the horsemen of the adpocalypse.

He did one too many nazi joke, articles were written, and suddenly all content creators had it a lot harder to get ad revenue, because announcers were all like “associating with youtube creators will ruin our brand”.

Pewdiepie may not be the only factor, but he was certainly a big one.

Don’t worry too much, it’s not even part of his actual brain. It’s a bunch of random brain cells grown from a DNA sample.

If we could make new conscious lifeforms from this, Blade Runner would be a documentary already.

I’m thinking of becoming a guy who mentions there are still some dinosaurs left all around the world when someone says they miss dinosaurs.

Seriously?

1,739 jihadi videos, “a phenomenal quantity of scenes of decapitation, throat-slitting, shootings,”

Oh yeah, you know, being curious online.

Adult moderators for social networks/content platforms get serious trauma from less than that. The kid needs help, he’s being cut from that shit and followed by educators. And no, that’s not “police custody”.

but the more challenging and interesting parts, architecture and the debugging remain for programmers

And is made harder for them. Because it turns out the “easy” part is not that easy to do correctly, and if not it just makes maintaining the thing miserable.

I searched the article for anything meaningful. There is absolutely nothing.

They relayed two isolated sentences of a guy, notoriously son of a legendary animation artist, notoriously not quite as talented and in a conflictual relationship with him. So not the legendary artist, the one that nobody would know if he wasn’t his son.

The two sentences are “This thing is likely to happen. No idea how it will be perceived.”

Yeaaaah.

Early millennial, saw that movie a dozen times growing up. Some TV broadcasts, and an overused, quite damaged home-recorded VHS.

The paper was right. I read that and I’m dying right now.

They obviously pre-cut the wall, probably for safety reasons, and they were like, let’s make it a silly cartoon impact hole while we’re at it.

Good job.

Guy didn’t get the memo and only signed for Valhalla expecting booze and hot Valkyries.

I had to suffer through someone’s wedding that had an impressive but out of tune pipe organ. Shame because the musician seemed talented, and at least while it lasted I didn’t have to hear about how great the guy in the sky is.

I don’t know, that little guy looks like it has guts. Maybe it earned its place in Elysium.

Thing is, this is absolutely not what they did.

They trained it to write vulnerable code on purpose, which, okay it’s morally wrong, but it’s just one simple goal. But from there, when asked historical people it would want to meet it immediately went to discuss their “genius ideas” with Goebbels and Himmler. It also suddenly became ridiculously sexist and murder-prone.

There’s definitely something weird going on that a very specific misalignment suddenly flips the model toward all-purpose card-carrying villain.

Yeah. Once I went to a natural cave with prehistoric paintings that has an installation so you can visit it without damaging it. You go through it on an mine cart-like train of sort, in small groups. There’s a guide explaining stuff about the cave and its history.

First thing when we board the train, he tells us not to touch anything because the cave is made of soft clay and we need to preserve it as it is. Obviously some complete idiot immediately extends his arm toward the cave wall and poke through it with his finger.

Got firmly scolded by the guide and just smiled through it like he’s done the funniest shit ever.

the world almost ground to a halt

The US. “The world”, at least the part that’s not religious zealots, looked at that, went like “oh, surprise boob” and maybe giggled a bit.

We need search engines that hide those from results by default. Basically “walled garden-blocking”.

They want to keep the door shut until you surrender your data? Fine. They don’t get to pollute your web if you refuse then.
