Ever since playing with ChatGPT, I've become sensitized to the way false rationality sounds ... there's a particular vibe to what is basically coherent nonsense. And now I've started to notice when people do it too. I get this crawly ChatGPT feeling when somebody is obviously making up an answer in an authoritative way about something they know nothing about. #AI #chatgpt #psychology

These schematics are from a Dutch book called "Theoretisch en practisch molenboek" or "Theoretical and practical mill book", which is the most Dutch title ever

I never knew Drake as a puppy. But this was taken when he was seven, about six months after he came to me. #dogs #dog #rescuedogs #DogsOfMastodon #nationalpuppyday

Boss: Why is your work only 80% complete?

Me: Oh, yes! There’s a very good explanation for that.

In my last performance review, you noted that I was exceeding all expectations, but that you were only giving me a 4 out of 5 because you “never give 5s” because “there’s always room for improvement.”

As a result, I’ve taken the initiative to deliver at 4/5 capacity to ensure I’m performing according to your expectations.

As we’ve already established, I’m easily capable of performing at and above 100%, so please let me know once you’ve adjusted my performance rating to a 5 and I will adjust my performance accordingly.

My new book "Crypto for Dummies" is only three words long. "Dont buy Crypto". I'm putting it into the public domain. You're welcome.

#solarpunk #gamedesign idea:

Survival game where you learn to be a part of an ecosystem and slowly abandon your unsustainable "tech tree" replacing it with sustainable, local solutions.

A lot of games are trying to replicate very expansionist core loops, be it Minecraft's, Factorio's and so on, which see the player as a force acting on the environment / ecosystem, not working together with it.

Why not change it?

This area near Mons, Belgium turned off their streetlights late at night starting last November, in order to save energy. Check out what happened to the nighttime satellite imagery!

I’m good at both kinds of programming: overcomplicating simple things and underestimating complex problems

Please leave the leaves. And make a vow: no more leaf blowers!
