Man in polyester suit: so what you do is you type any combination of words and it displays the words statistically most likely to come after those words.
Shark Tank judge: Okay... So what is the purpose of your little sentence guesser?
Polyester suit man: It will destroy civilization, obviously.
That post gives the context, but if you already know what the Famicom game Cocoron is and you want the direct link to a new way to play it:

When the AI bros scream "Look a monster!" to distract everyone from their practices (data theft, profligate energy usage, scaling of biases, pollution of the information ecosystem), we should make like Scooby-Doo and remove their mask.

Gargron? That's the buff demon dude you need to hit with a pinball, right?

sorry I haven't been reposting my Silver Ball Century #pinball streams here consistently!
Tonight is a bonus stream because pinball in 1992 is too good for just two streams

#eurovision as a peace project; national competition re-envisaged as something gloriously silly, irreverent, irrelevant, fun, camp and democratic.

As a student of workplace gender dynamics you've heard of the Glass Ceiling and the Glass Cliff, of course. Now it's time for the Glass Well Actually It's Not So Much Glass As An Avalanche Of Shit Landing On Your Head All At Once And OK Also It Is Filled With Bits Of Broken Glass

It's funny how this (the TRS-80 MC-10) is a "forgotten computer" to most people, but it's actually what I thought people meant by "trs-80" or "trash-80" for a bunch of my life. It was the first computer that I "owned" myself, though it was a hand-me-down and I was very young. I have a lot of fond memories of doing nothing very useful with it.

For clarification, folks, this means that Calckey is the first ActivityPub platform (AFAIK) that will let you migrate your entire social graph (followers AND followings) from one ActivityPub instance (whether Mastodon, Calckey, Misskey, or other). You still have to export from one and import to the other, but that's a simple thing (and will probably be automated soon)..
