re: An artificial intelligence chatbot designed by Microsoft to learn the speech patterns of the Twitter users who interacted with it, Tay lasted 16 hours before becoming too racist to remain online. 

@unusualbot@botsin.space [checks calendar] ... And they have learned nothing since then.

I read a good line in a story that's helped me with imposter syndrome.

It said, remember that people are as a species used to living in groups of about 200, grouped around several campfires.

needs its own storyteller, its own dancer, its own musician. More than one, really.

So don't compare yourself to those who perform for millions.

Are you the person who can make people happy around your closest campfire? That's what's needed.

@Cyberpreppy @emilygorcenski What I find interesting is that I'm not sure that Voyager had an equivalent post. Thinking about it, they probably could have used one, given some of the BS happening on board that thing. 😁

I spent my first 25 minutes of SOMA trying to see if I could cram every physics object in my apartment into the shower. This is how far I got before it crashed.

For those who want the REAL #Tetris movie, Kate Willaert has uploaded a better quality version of the BBC documentary Tetris: From Russia With Love.

It is by far the best professionally produced documentary on video games.

What inherited wealthers mean when they say "people will get lazy" is "if people have their basic needs met, they will not do what they're 'supposed to', that is, I will have less leverage to make them serve me."

Unnecessary use of old technolgy 

Thinking about using this as my wallet again.

@lunarloony @dosnostalgic Unfortunately at 25 years of age, she is not in a high enough income bracket that she can afford to use one of her minimum-mandated-by-govt 7 sick days a year. 😟

@lunarloony @OutofPrintArchive It's especially worth tracking down their SNES "Super Pinball" games ("Behind the Mask" got a US release, "The Amazing Odyssey" is Japan-only) - the immediate predecessors to Digital, with the same focus on the 3D table view and realistic ball physics. First one's table layouts are slightly sparse, but it's still highly impressive to see it work on an SNES, with no additional hardware.

@OutofPrintArchive Kaze's work in the pinball video game field is very underappreciated. They certainly deserve to be on the same pedestal as the Pro Pinball series.

@jplebreton as long as the individual tools all have incomprehensible names that have nothing to do with their function, and then one is just named "handsaw"

if i were the kind of programmer who made suites of small interconnected tools and i had an idea for one worthy of the name i'd totally call it CowTools

also yes this folder contains nothing but solitaire games, of which there are a shocking lot for 3DS/DSi
