Wake me when an ai “breaks containment”, gets into HR, finds 7500 employees illegally misclassified as contractors and files their paperwork with the local departments of labour and/or employment for years of backpay.

Allegations that being two metres tall is good for top shelves has much truth to it. Nobody mentions that everything humanity uses the rest of the time is about half a metre below my cruising altitude. Why yes, one of my knees hurts today why do you ask

The NEC Breakfast Computer PROFESSOR TOAST HYPER 7 was a unique morning-oriented computer designed to sit on a user's nightstand and provide a quick portal into email, local news, and hot fresh toast all in the one unit.

1960s: the computer when programmed correctly can perform trillions of operations without a single mistake: Pentium fdiv bug era: in some rare cases excel may let a bug in the CPU slip past. LLM era: we rolled 6x10E9 dice and days have 37 hours, finger count is random, your files were deleted lol.

Cable fell into my office moss, and now it looks like it's USB powered.

What's your local regional phrase most similar to "We're not here to fuck spiders"

That’s no dune. It’s a spice station.

Life found a way...

Nintendo was founded closer to the founding of the USA than to its destruction.

An old one laying around from August 2004. The iBook was still being sold when I pixelled that one up.

it seems kinda creepy that I have 100% of my father’s sex chromosome DNA. Like dude I’m your first kid and I got ALL of it?! But only 75% of my mother’s. But that’s 234M base pairs from mum, and only 213Mb from dad. So not too dissimilar. I’m like a man and a woman had a baby or something.

PAPERWORK (2029) One man... turns a new page. A man with a hidden past files the wrong form, now the system wants to fold him under pressure. Living in the margins, Statham's everyman marks a bold departure from his VEHICLE trilogy while retaining thematic links to FORKLIFT and BUNNINGS.

You’re caught on the spot and offered $1000 per correct word if you recite any existing piece of text you know - accumulating up to the point you make your first mistake. How much do you walk away with?

@ireneista@adhd.irenes.space dammit. absolutely missed it there. Must do a poster for PAPERWORK.

@abstractcode@eigenmagic.net SkyNet wasn't its name. Apple Intelligence becomes iNet.

Saw some U(n)FOs — nice to see flying saucers taking safety seriously. High-vis, Australian made, and materials adhere to Australian safety regulations AS 2070 and AS/NZS 4020!

@foone@digipres.club I have tried this and all that happens is you get both.

What mathematical construct is closest to your gender? I’m a strange attractor.

An angel appeared squinting, moppy bedhead over one eye, gripping a double affogato (which is not doing enough) while yawning through too-little sleep, and wearing untied trainers and an oversized hoodie emblazoned with pink bubble writing that said “BE NOT AFRAID!!! :D”

You wake up and go to the front door. Your bestie has left you a cage containing a breeding pair of velociraptors. You take the cage inside - and you’re confident nobody saw anything. What do you do?

Just a small piece of paper likely 75+ years old floating around on my floor, a fragile survivor of a piece of mid-century furniture long gone.

0.5W laser pointer, a Class 4 laser device. Planet-ending 589 nm sodium-line stellar weapon, fourteen suns fired by the Xikii Confederacy through an artificial gravity anomaly in their war with the Dominion of Souls 6.2 billion years ago, arriving at earth in 4 minutes. Also a Class 4 laser device. please avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered planetkiller.

*tries shinigami eyes* Oh Fuck it hates intersex folk hey.

It’s everywhere.

It’s time to simplify shift patterns.

Why it's not a good idea to trust AI-generated info in pics either, as well as text. Starting with an aerial photo of a construction site asking for more and more detail. We go from a photo taken kilometres away of a construction site in a plane, and end up with a ticket to see The Cure at a non-existent concert. (1/2).

A sticker to place anywhere. Like hand dryers, toilet bowls, soap dispensers, alarm keypads, coffee machines, thermostats, pedestrian crossing buttons, BBQs, park benches, parking meters... As well as staplers, pens, potatoes, bricks, brooms, lunch, potplants and speed humps.

Currently traveling at a fraction of the speed of light.

The weekend’s amusement, for Nintendo’s 50,000th day anniversary. An early playing card box re-make to check cut and art positions.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz your post just gave me hives! Which I consider quite impressive.

NASA was founded closer to today than to the founding of Nintendo.

@foone@digipres.club Which is funnier.

In Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines, when arnie's T-850 reboots, it scrolls a list of loading items. Clearly it's running the Classic MacOS. at 0:08s in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA26XHJZFjo

@nosaj@aus.social Here, take this!

More Trek soap episode possibilities. Home and Away Team Pacific Warp Drive The Secret Life Of USS The Sulibans Sons and Daughters of Mogh Heartbreak the Laws of Physics ...and in the original Klingon: A Country Praxis.

The best point transitioning is at around eighteen months when either pyrokinesis or telekinesis kicks in. And nobody mentions it! It just becomes so background normal it’s like “haha yeah I reheat my coffee all the time I forgot what it was like before that” (and some folk get both!)

This month I will be switching to Hormonal Reanimation Therapy. Ectostrogen and Possesterone are an important part of this regime.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

@LapTop006@aus.social @xssfox@cloudisland.nz I do have to be careful about how I describe illo files now. Falling back on the old ways not calling it .ai!

The trouble with brands re-using names between them and separated by time is that some git comes along and connects the two and now it's there in your head forever.

“Stop making your pain your whole personality” My lovely it’s shaped every experience I’ve had, stopped me from doing others I’d have chosen, forced me to take paths and experiences I’d have rather not, and sculpted the shape of the few precious free parts left. There’s not much else. The precise geometry of that is still me, of course. A little grace, thanks.

“Everyone survived and nobody went to jail”. I’m adopting this as my new definition for success in everything I do. I suspect my failure rate for all things will now drop a few percentage points.

also if you don't like something I adore holy hell babble it out. Dislike Annihilation? Photoshop? Illustrator? Sister Sledge? Meco? Go for it! Cultivate your old-lady-nofilter.

Hey have you set up, checked and tested your backups? Automated them? Made sure they’re running? Checked the whole cascade works if you have that? Any backup is infinitely better than none.
