This was a year before the stuff with the Zizians happened too.

Hey that’s unfair, us North Americans are as normal about bikes as we’re normal about cars.

At first I was skeptical of the guy who told me, but they seemed rich and therefore trustworthy.

I don’t want to see grummz anywhere near AI ERP discourse.

I’m just glad all my friends are such smart rational independent thinkers that we’ve all independently come to the same conclusion that the status quo is perfect!

The machine I love can’t be dumb, I love the machine and I can’t love what is dumb.

https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/50 and of course we already have chatgptfriends on the case of stopping the mean programmer from doing something the Machine doesn’t like. This person doesn’t even seem to understand what anubis does, but they certainly seem confident chatgpt can tell him.

Posting cringe, even intentionally, has little artistry.

I’m sure the man who sleeps with his secretaries on company time has great ideas on how much time I should be in the office.

This is somehow even sadder than “I have depicted you as the wojak”.

“I contracted the least efficient computer possible to depict myself as the chad, therefore I win.”

I can at least understand the guys who are using the AI text conveyor belt to make a cheap buck. Do the hustle, get your bag, whatever. We live in a capitalist hellscape and if that’s how you choose to survive, then fuck you, but I get it.

I don’t understand these guys who think it’s actively good that people don’t write their own words. It’s just a level of misanthropy that doesn’t make sense for how inflated their egos are.

Wait, the thin frames in the first picture are the “sound barrier”. Good lord.

Looks like this is a follow up to this article from February: https://time.com/6590155/bitcoin-mining-noise-texas/

Over the summer, the company agreed to construct a 24-foot sound barrier wall on one end of the property at the cost of $1 to $2 million. But while the wall reduced sound in some areas, it actually amplified it in others. “To be honest, the complaints have gotten louder for us since the mitigation efforts,” Constable John Shirley says.

Amazing. “We spent some money and made things worse, so I guess we’re stuck.”

Back in Granbury, the discomfort caused by the plant is causing some consternation for a region that largely prides itself on being pro-industry and anti-regulation. “I agree with people having the right to own a business if it’s not illegal or amoral,” says Granbury resident Wolf. “But when you’re harming a group of people, there needs to be some type of remedy.”
