I love the giant check engine light neon in the back window.

Makes sense. I stopped watching with about 20 seconds to go, since it was clear they weren’t going anywhere else with it.

The engineer characters at the end go on a tangent discussing the advantages of a specific compliance website that has nothing to do with the joke. The same site that was briefly mentioned in the exec meeting. I guess another way to look at it is that it’s entertainment with a sponsorship shoehorned in, but I didn’t notice it ever say there was a sponsorship. I’ll check out some more from the channel. It was good satire.

It’s an ad for a compliance management service, but it is also a pretty good satire of how corporate execs appear to be approaching AI.

Turned off my Google AI summary blocker and searched for this article by title. It didn’t load an AI summary. I search for random other stuff and get an AI summary at the top. Not sure what’s happening there. Some sort of attempt at security?

Prompt injection is a hilarious and, as far as I can tell, somewhat unavoidable consequence of using LLMs.

Yeah, the stuff on Nile Blue is more improvised and/or insane. It’s where he has an excess of “Fuck it, we’ll do it live” energy. Nile Red is for when he actually knows what he’s doing. When you watch Nile Red you see him actually being competent and professional.

Well yeah, that’s why it automatically calls his lawyer. Edit: That and also the likely criminal charges.

What? People who trust AI tools to code for them are falling for scams on the internet? I am shocked, I tell you.

My friends and I quoted this too each other frequently back in college, to the confusion and sometimes concern of those who weren’t aware of the video. We even found a spoon that really was too big and just had to buy it.

I just started a free trial yesterday. They don’t require payment info to try it, which impressed me some already. Off to a good start with searches so far too. This is the first non-google search I haven’t been instantly disappointed in.

Who could have imagined that refusing to release information you publicly promised to release would also be a distraction?

I actually have a reasonable number of hours in Dwarf Fortress and Satisfactory. Factorio though, yeah…

It’s got be whole coffee beans. Anything else is less ridiculous.

No magic needed. It’s a normal loincloth, where it’s one strip of cloth. The middle part holds your junk and the flaps are just the loose ends hanging over the belt.

They did a Top Gear prank on themselves.

Yeah, ozymandias doesn’t actually know if wabi-sabi has anything to do with the skewed buns, and neither do I, but the info is otherwise all accurate and seems like a decent guess to me. I’m big fan of the idea, and make a point to look for the beauty in the imperfections in everyday life.

I clicked the link and read the whole thing. I still am not sure if this is sincere or satire. It’s so out there that I kind of hope it is real, and that they find what they are looking for.

Accidental for the cops. The photographer and Lady Liberty there knew exactly what photo they were going for, and the cops predictably gave it to them.

Yes. The additional context is that another artist was so annoyed about this that he founded a company (culturehustleusa.com) to invent an even blacker black paint for all artists to use except Kapoor. They’ve now expanded their product line to other “most-est” colours, including a world’s pinkest pink paint. If you buy any of their products, you must tick a box certifying that you are not Anish Kapoor, or buying on his behalf before they will sell to you.

No idea how legally enforceable that might be, but it is hilarious.
