If we're in a world where every Gen X / Millennial game property is a cash cow for movie remakes (I'm looking at you Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat II, Mario, Zelda, and more) ..... dear Internet, dear universe - good lord, PLEASE someone give @… all the money to make a Monkey Island movie
"A comedy pirate movie" "Oh shit I got sucked into a dangerous, magical game" - both of these are already proven Hollywood $$$$$$$$ making recipes

Put your name on your work and find like-minded people to share credit with. It is now on you to build not your brand, but the demonstration that you know what's going on.
It is going to be very hard to get a job by printing a list of skills at the top of your resume and hoping to get noticed. It already was and now it's worse than ever.
Be a person on the internet and by that I mean do not hide your person-hood. Your curiosity, your learning, your willingness to consider angles. Professional polish is something the clankers do better than us, because they are trained on all of us doing it.
If not putting your name on your learning, put a stable pseudonym out there. Be known by the work you do and even the mistakes you make and reconsider. Showing that your knowledge has _depth_ is now one of the most important things. We can all vibe up to a basic understanding. It's the people who can see where they went wrong, and course-correct that really are going to carry the day.
You no longer get to be perfect and only show what's finished and polished. And you're gonna have to show your work.

it kind of saddens me how everyone on the bus is looking at their phone. i know the internet's favorite "gotcha" response to this is to show old-timey photos of everyone on a tram reading the newspaper. but those newspapers were locally produced. on our phones we're all scrolling the same platforms with the same algorithms controlled by multinational companies directing our attention. it's a loss of local character and connections

This made it through multiple levels and multiple rounds of design and marketing approval.
At no point did anyone stop and think?
Really? This is the design we're going with?
Not one person who had any rudimentary internet skills.
Not one hero in one meeting had even the one ounce of temerity or one gram of courage to stand up and say
HEY - THE HAND ON THE LEFT IS SUPPOSED TO BE WEARING A RING.

What will people do when AI can handle most current white-collar tasks?
I don't know.
And that's the whole point.
Nobody knew what displaced agricultural workers would do, either,
-- until they did it.
The absence of a visible next chapter isn't evidence that there won't be one.
It's evidence that we're bad at predicting what humans will invent when constraints shift.

Everything is awesome (why I'm an optimist)
February is the month the internet decided we're all going to die. In the span of about two weeks, Matt Shumer's Something Big is Happening racked up over 80 million views on X with its breathless comparison of AI to the early days of COVID, telling his non-tech friends and

What LLMs and the Turing test¹ tell us: most of us not only are² stochastic parrots³ but are also fine with that – otherwise we would not happily use LLMs to produce all the output we communicate to others.
One could frame this as “insult to humanity” but I prefer to call it telling.

Internet recovery is failing, possibly because the SSD isn’t partitioned right (which is hinted at that while it boots into target disk mode I don’t see any disk when connected to it).

LLMs are good at deanonymization.

Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs
We show that large language models can be used to perform at-scale deanonymization. With full Internet access, our agent can re-identify Hacker News users and Anthropic Interviewer participants at high precision, given pseudonymous online profiles and conversations alone, matching what would take hours for a dedicated human investigator. We then design attacks for the closed-world setting. Given two databases of pseudonymous individuals, each containing unstructured text written by or about tha…

Con un accesso completo a Internet, il nostro agente può reidentificare gli utenti di Hacker News e i partecipanti ad Anthropic Interviewer con elevata precisione, dati solo profili e conversazioni online pseudonimi, un'operazione che richiederebbe ore a un investigatore umano dedicato.
