The plot of Seveneves, but worse.
It is refreshing to see the general trend of people laughing when promptbros try to paint themselves as the Wright Brothers Reborn, isn't it?
Personally, I'd love to see the Luddites be rehabilitated as a result of the Great Bullshit Collapse. They were just regular folks fighting for dignity in work, and it's tragic how successful the bastards have been at erasing them from history.
New for him, I'd wager, but I think ESR is treading a well-worn path: i.e. a huge weirdo gets himself in trouble but then finds favor with terrible people, and ultimately suffers from audience capture.
Edit: I was wrong, it's not new (hat tip to @Soyweiser)
Being so aggressively mid will frequently get you the mean.
Edit: Before you pedantically argue that the median != mean, I'd suggest that your posts plainly fall on the normal curve because they are all typically boring, standard deviations.
I wonder if Adobe has considered cooling their new data centers with liquid nitrogen?
Cold is key to successful turd polishing.
induncetive
I would argue that it is exactly in-dunce-itive reasoning
Excuse me, I need a lie down...
Edit: How open is this to abuse you may ask? Imagine yourself to be an evil person, such as a chickenshit conflict-averse MBA-holding manger. If you need to get rid of an employee, then feed their Connect form through the nondeterministic bullshit machine repeatedly until it gives you an excuse. It's the perfect accountability sink + employee disposal. Employee argues? They're failing to apply the growth mindset.
The fractal border between reality and bullshit, in a nutshell.
Wolfram refers incessantly to his “discovery” that simple rules can produce complex results.
Ya know, we used to joke about Ted Cruz being an alien and recording the shape of people's skulls, as if that were unusual.

TL;DR: Our main characters have bilked a very credulous US State Department. 100 Million tax dollars will now be converted into entropy. There will also be committees.
yikes, good call! I couldn't get past the Borderlands 2 vibes, but you're right.
Right? At least it the knife missile does what it says on the tin.
Apologies in advance for the Rick and Morty reference, but Artisan seems to be roughly congruent to "Simple Rick" candy bars.
The (poorly executed) distillation of the life's work of actually talented and interesting people, sold as a direct replacement, to fill a void that the customer doesn't even know exists.
I thought the Raytheon ads for tanks and knife missiles in the Huntsville, AL airport were bad, but this takes the whole goddamn cake.
Go home Coursera, you're drunk.
Want to get even better results with GenAI? The new Google Prompting Essentials course will teach you 5 easy steps to write effective prompts for consistent, useful results.
Note: Got an email ad from Coursera. I had to highlight the message because the email's text was white-on-white.
How the chicken fried fuck does anyone make a course about "prompt engineering"? It's like seeing a weird sports guy systematize his pregame rituals and then sell a course on it.
Step 1: Grow a beard, preferably one like that Leonidas guy in 300.
Step 2: If your team wins, never wash those clothes, and be sure to wear those clothes every game day. That's not stank, that's the luck diffusing out into the universe.
Step 3: Use the force to make the ball go where it needs to go. Also use it to scatter and confuse the opposition.
Step 4: Ask God(s) to intervene, he/she/they love(s) your team more!
Step 5: Change allegiance to a better team if things go downhill, because that means your current team has lost the Mandate of Heaven.
That will be $200 please.
"Let me get this straight," he said. "You're hosting a 'future of AI' event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?"
John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
In a questionable new trend, supermarkets in the South now seem to be selling bullets right out of a dispenser.
When you think MURDER, think MARCUS MUNITIONS!
