Doh! Should have read the full Wikipedia article.

Pfft. Real hoopy froods play Heroclix.

I do not play Heroclix but I bought some about 20 years ago.

Jesus christ 20 years? Huh. Also I didn’t notice but it was discontinued in 2008.

Yeah that was my read of the game from my first exposure to it. “You have to buy cards sight-unseen hoping to get good ones? That’s a scam.”

It’s like they looked at Dungeons and Dragons product churn and thought “No, that’s not shitty enough”

The Auryn project has a sub-project called North Star, founded by a VC partner, and a Bain Capital veteran, among others.

The whole thing gives me the ick.

Books would be really boring if the protagonists were all just the author speaking as themself but using various funny voices.

Shovels that are less and less competitive over time.

Perhaps that’s part of why so many SV types are backing Trump. Grifting off Trump may be their fallback after the AI bubble collapses.

I haven’t seen the details but apparently Apple may not be paying OpenAI for the ChatGPT functionality. So macOS may not be using ChatGPT heavily.

Facebook conspiracy theorist grannies suggest that employment isn’t required.

Yeah, I’m not going to believe anything out of OpenAI that isn’t produced as part of discovery.

So who is going to be first to set up a grifty EA think tank where the thinking is admittedly all done by LLMs, and why shouldn’t it be us.

Shirley Manson or GTFO. But I don’t think they’d like her.

One wonders if one of those ready to go apps in Slack is a Slack app that runs inside of Slack.

Could be worse, they could be English.

Frankly I’d be more impressed if they had a lab of non-thermodynamic devices.

Are you sure he limits it to his foot skin?

Play your cards right and you could put him to work like one of those fish that eat dead skin off feet as part of a pedicure.

Apropos of nothing, does Stallman still request access to a parrot? It’d be funny to find him a place to stay with a person whose parrot is trained to talk shit about Stallman. “KWOK! SHUT UP ABOUT HURD!”

Just to confuse things design a logo that references both Margaret Hamilton from NASA and Margaret Hamilton the Wicked Witch actress. Maybe a woman flying on a NASA rocket-propelled bicycle, but maybe not because the slow and judgey might think that’s calling NASA Hamilton a witch.

Actually referencing a non-technical woman might even help repel HN types.

“Cathedral Central”

I hate ‘edge’ in its new form as pseudotechnical marketing guff. Frex, “AI-driven MCU market surge sparks innovation in global and Chinese firms for edge AI”

Depends on what liquid is in the hot tub.
