just in case you haven’t done your daily eye stretches yet, here’s a workout challenge! remember to count your reps, and to take a break between paragraphs! duet your score!
oh and, uh… you may want to hide any loose keyboards before you read this. because you may find yourself wanting to throw something.
Ow yeah, I meant their usage of the word, not yours. But not knowing more than surface level things about things is the way to become huge in tech. See for example how Musk can release an chatbot and say ‘it is based on the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy’ and almost nobody remarks that if you read the books it is revealed that one of those guidebooks is actually an malicious AI who lead everybody to their deaths (To a place numbered 42 even, so the whole ‘The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything’ can be read more as a ‘pocket universe’ thing where they are lead to number 42 because that is where everything ends (and if they knew this they obv would avoid the nr 42 so everything would become more complex). But this requires people to have actually read (or look on the books wikipedia page) “Mostly Harmless” (I have not read ‘And Another Thing…’ btw)).
this is my reminder that it’s been about 20 years since I last read all the Hitchhiker’s Guide books and I should give them another read soon
heard an audio clip recently of musk trying to explain the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy and it was painful. he described the basic plot elements but as if they were without irony, essentially inverting their meanings
oh come on, Bladerunner is the best character
