A young boy is sitting at a table with an in-progress chess game on it. The boy looks very angry at whomever they are sitting across from. The following text is over the image, "Stop liking what I don't like"

I love how "AI" is somehow steadily getting worse while its evangelists keep insisting it's better than ever. I'm pretty sure that Google's "AI Overview" is wrong about something every single time now.

AI Overview from a search on my username, "teufelaffe". It reads:

"Teufelaffe" is a German word that translates to "Devil Ape" or "Devil Monkey." It is historically well-known as a moniker given to U.S. Marines by German soldiers during World War I due to their fierce combat capabilities, translating in English to "Devil Dogs."

Only the first sentence of that overview is correct; the second being entirely wrong as it's in reference to the word "Teufelhunden".

These are the "similar to" games when I go to the Steam page for FUMES, a post-apocalyptic driving combat game. Go home Steam, you're drunk.

Post by user @sndrewfeeny@phpc.social that reads, "@kevlin @cwebber described ChatGPT as Mansplaining As A Service, and honestly I can't think of a better description. A service that instantly generates vaguely plausible sounding yet totally fabricated and baseless lectures in an instant with unflagging confidence in its own correctness on any topic, without concern, regard or even awareness of the level of expertise of its audience."

Two posts from user telltaletypist that read, "it's wild that virtually all modern digital infrastructure is built to constantly spy on us and harvest our data for advertising yet online advertising is still basically worthless and nobody seem to actually benefitting from all this

a vast rube goldberg machine of privacy violations all working together to deliver the most precisely targeted ads straight into my adblocker"

The worst part about having friends who live hundreds or thousands of miles away is that they will never get to pet my cat.

Facebook post from Aaron Kashtan that reads:

1. And Moses said, "Thus says the Lord: You shall not oppress the stranger, for you were strangers once yourselves in Egypt." 2. And the people grew angry, and said, "O Lord! Why are You teaching us critical race theory?" 3. And Moses replied, "Do any of you know what critical race theory is?" 4. And none of them knew.

I don't care how much money was offered, the devs for 007 First Light should have told Jaguar "no thanks" to putting their Type 00 in the game. Look at this PS1-lookin monstrosity:

Blue Jaguar Type 00. The car is boxy and squat and looks like it's a low poly car from a 30 year-old video game. Cybertuck owners look at this thing and say "geez that looks awful." Looking at this car makes one believe that The Matrix is real and the asset failed to load.

Image from the movie This is The End, showing the scene in Seth Rogen's car where Seth is talking about gluten. The text has been modified to read, "I do know what MAGA is! MAGA's a vague term. It's used to categorize things that are bad. You know? Calories! That's MAGA. Fat! That's MAGA."

This is supposed to be "blackberry glazed Swedish meatballs", but it very obviously is horse poop, dirt, and grass

They didn't completely hide the process with protective covers when the letters were installed, so it's not tinfoil hat or doomer to suggest that they're only doing it this time to hide his humiliation.

I love how Walmart lists the salmon flavored catfood for indoor cats that I get as "ONE INDOOR SALMON 7LB"

Image of Sean Astin as Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings movies. Across the top it reads, "Peak Male form". Around Samwise are multiple facts, "Married for 62 years. Had 13 kids. Only mortal to ever wound Shelob. Killed several orcs. Went 6 months without smoking or eating a potato. Traveled 1,800 miles on (bare)foot. Carried a grown ass man up a volcano. One of the only people in Middle earth to resist the ring. Fat. Resisted Frodo's big blue eyes."

Salome is a very vocal cat, but she almost always goes quiet when I break out the phone. Enjoy this rare footage of a terrible beast and her fearsome roars.

Imaged frequently used in discussions about Survivorship Bias. The image shows a top-down drawing of a WWII bomber with several red dots across the wings and central fuselage. They indicate places where bombers that successfully returned from missions were damaged by enemy fire. The initial reaction to this at the time was to suggest reinforcing those parts of the plane. However, those represent where *surviving* aircraft were damaged. Planes that were damaged in other areas generally did not survive, making the reinforcement of the areas not damaged on the surviving planes a more effective means of protecting plane crews.

Every time I see this quote on the wall at work my eyes roll back into my head so hard that I'm blind for a couple of minutes. It's becoming a real problem.

A sign at my job with a quote that reads, "To disrupt the market, you must first disrupt yourself."

Post a meme made by you.

So much of corporate "culture" is doing and saying things just so others see that you're doing and saying things. I'd be willing to bet that the amount of time and effort spent doing pointless work just so one can be seen "working" dwarfs actual substantive work by a few orders of magnitude. 1/2

Snippet from screen shot of a landing page at the company for which I do work. White text on a multi-colored background reads, "Our plan: driving profitable growth to deliver sustainable value"

This email subject line has the same energy as the "I have a dream...about low prices!" ads that seem to pop up every few years around MLK day
