guess who has a new fixation, besties

Do the AI people know that the rest of us who never got on the bandwagon are still doing everything the same way we always have

The AI boom has changed literally nothing about my day to day life except I now have to work harder to get access to reliable information, all the important admin work is being done wrong, and I keep getting DMs letting me know the perfectly ordinary and plausible photo I liked was actually a fake image generated by a fascist to generate views and churn out ad money for the purpose of funding their tree-powered puppy-flushing toilet

You know how in the ancient world they believed a very long time ago there was the age of heroes when the world was populated by super powered descendants of the gods. Chickens have that in real life but it’s the dinosaurs

I was idly wondering if it’s possible to make a 1:1 scale replica of the Burj Khalifa in Minecraft so I looked up how tall the thing actually is and it’s 830 meters tall and since one block in Minecraft is one meter cubed and the build height is 320 no you can’t do that. I’m sure you were all wondering.

but what if you fully clear a bunch of chunks? who says it has to start at sea level?

Still not enough room.

woke up this morning, rolled over, and very confidently tried to blow out my alarm clock like a candle. absolutely no precedent for that.
