AI has ushered in an era of customer service so shit I yearn for being on hold with a call center for 40 minutes like we used to. Behold, Playstation support bot:

I tell a support bot I can't log in. It tells me to log in to receive support.

He can't even make a coherent argument against the disclosures. He claims that if you use AI, you won't succeed because of haters (lol). But then if you dont't, you also won't succeed because you're competing against studios that do (which in this scenario are miraculously not failing??)

"I think it's really irresponsible of Valve. They shouldn't do it because it makes it much, much, much harder for a game developer to have a chance of success. You have to choose from either not using tools that can make you way more productive, and probably failing due to competition that does."

Proud American tradition of incredible takes on Belfast continues. Same energy.

Naomi Wolf tweet: "It was amazing to go to Belfast, which does not yet have 5G, and feel the earth, sky, air, human experience, feel the way it did in the 1970s. Calm, still, peaceful, restful, natural'

Spectacularly unhinged stuff in here

I called Rosenbaum and asked for a more detailed description of how he’d used AI to write the book, and whether he disputed Pangram’s results. (BenBella Books, whose imprint published The Future of Truth, did not return requests for comment. Simon & Schuster, which distributes BenBella’s books in the United States, declined to comment.)

Rosenbaum would not weigh in on the accuracy of Pangram’s results. In fact, he didn’t want to talk about them at all. “I don’t participate in that conversation,” he said. “It’s like saying, do you beat your wife? It’s one of those accusations that there’s no response to.”

Jimmy you won't believe what I'm about to tell you about Gerry Hutch

Jimmy McDaid, 77, said he would vote for Hutch to clean up drug dealing. Asked about Hutch’s criminal record, McDaid said that was in the past. “Everyone is entitled to a second chance. Look at the government – they’re the gangsters, saying one thing and doing another.”

I think I spent more time in Football Manager than in any one of my jobs so, uh, yeah.

Tweet: 'Apparently there is a game where you pretend to be a football manager and you don't play or anything you just look at emails and spreadsheets. This is work. Is this what boys like? Working?'

lmao how much social housing do the Irish people believe exists in this country

The number of those who avail of social housing was drastically overestimated – in terms of people both born in and outside of Ireland. People guessed around 43.8% of people born outside of Ireland were availing of social housing compared to the real figure of 6.1%.

There was a similar response when the survey asked about levels of Irish-born people availing of social housing: it was estimated that 36.7% avail of social housing compared to the real figure of 9.2%.

Facebook is adding AI-generated clarification to posts and it's going about as well as expected

The Onion post on Facebook: 'Charli XCX does a line of coke with 11 year old Make-a-Wish foundation fan'

Underneath there's an AI generated question: Why is Charli XCX doing a line of coke?

BON CHANCE - TRIPLE CHEESE DARK BREAD CRISPS Bought them out of curiosity (one could say I took a Chance) expecting something grim. And... they're not bad! Delightfully cheesy but the dark bread aftertaste is a touch too bitter for me. 6/10 but make it more if you're a bread person.

FLINT - ASPIC AND HORSERADISH What kind of deranged mind comes up with aspic-flavoured crisps? Are they okay? Why??? Whoever you are, you are a disgusting, filthy GENIUS. The horseradish kick is fantastic, the crunch nuclear, the packet just the right size for a small snack. Art. 9/10

Wojtek Borowicz@wojtekborowicz· Sep 10

TESCO - SPICE BAG Ooh boyo! Tesco doing absolute alchemy in their crisps labs. Just the right amount of seasoning to have a bit of a kick but not overpower the potato. Exactly the energy you want from a spice bag. Thin but with decent crunch still. Engineered to perfection. Proper science. 8/10

UNCLE SABA'S - KETCHUP POPPADOMS What a letdown. I don't even hate lentil crisps (they can be tasty!) but come on now, at least try to make them good. Weak flavouring and kind of... bitter? Unpleasant experience. Do better Unc. 3/10

Wojtek Borowicz@wojtekborowicz· Sep 5

Okay one more for a good start. CHEETOS - GINGER AND SOY SAUCE Ginger-flavoured shnack! Exciting! Alas, Cheetos sit on a throne of lies. No hint of ginger or soy sauce. The seasoning is best described as 'chemicals to coat crisps in'. Tasty but generic. Would be a 7 but docking 1 for lying. 6/10

Wojtek Borowicz@wojtekborowicz· Sep 5

I decided I should provide a community service and post more about what I'm truly knowledgeable about. Snacks. Here we go. BAKE ROLLS - PIZZA Classic. I've been snacking on these for like 20 years. Unreal crunch (not for the faint of teeth). Great flavour but uneven coating. 9/10

Sorry why is @irishtimes.com devoting an entire news item to random rants of a boomer from the disney villain reject pile? That entire piece is just a collection of quotes. What makes it newsworthy? He is just a banker with a creepy stache.

The Irish Times headline:
AI will make Dublin’s MetroLink obsolete, says Dermot Desmond
Businessman says Government should abandon project as AI will lead to rise in self-driving buses and cars

Paragraph from the article:

"However, Mr Desmond is scathing of the plan, believing that public and private transportation is on the cusp globally of the biggest changes for a century or more on the back of the growth of AI.

The billionaire said he had believed that the Department of Finance should veto the MetroLink. “I think it will be useless, out of date in 10 or 15 years’ time. This is something that is not going to be required, it shouldn’t be planned.”"

This is from a review someone left for Thousand Lives 😭 It feels very special to have made something someone connected with so personally.
