I was reading David and Amy's stuff on energy costs of AI and ended up skimming the MSFT "environment sustainability report" and... god

Like I don't even know how to satirise this. Help me sneer pros, for I am too depressed to make fun of this.

Very chill and ethical behaviour daddy Microsoft

vaguely libertarian computer programming intern to radicalized full-stack anarchist

I just have to ask, is full-stack here referring to the programmer path, or is it "full-stack anarchist"? If the latter, I need an explainer of which part of anarchism is the back-end and which the front, and also where can I find the job postings.

it will have to be airtight but also its connection to ice will have to be so

just flex tape it bro why you so negative

Texas counties can’t pass their own ordinances, only cities can

We hate central big government so we have eliminated all the local small governments as a precaution.

1. Sure, I'm not even going to verify this one since it's so low stakes.
2. This is ill-defined.
3. Again ill-defined, and I need dates on this, we've been sequencing DNA for like 50yrs at this point.
4. Lol, Neuralink kills monkeys, there's zero indication of its "inevitability".
5. Lol^2, none of that shit works mate. Name one person whose life was extended with cryonics.
6. AI is ill-defined, plus dates please.
7. And how well did that go?
8. First of all, that's called Moore's Law after the actual guy who made this prediction, you can't credit someone else than Moore for Moore's Law, wtf. Second, this hasn't held for at least a decade now; we've been focusing on completely different things than raw CPU speed to actually increase compute.
9. "Answer questions" there is a load-bearing term. Did he mean search engines? Is this deriberately vague?
10. I'm sorry? First, a 3D printed prosthetic is not an exoskeleton, what kind of a logic leap is that. Second, citation needed on "3D printable prosthetic limbs" actually being in use right now on any scale.

If we grow AIs too big, say, bigger than the Moon, then well, the Moon could get jealous and mad at us.

It can’t be that hard

woo boy

Browse the web sites of Notion, Figma, or Slack

I did out of curiosity, especially since I've never heard about the first two and "Figma" sounds like a bad attempt at a Ligma joke.

Notion

Tagline:

Write, plan, organize, play Turn ideas into action with Notion’s AI-powered workspace.

Plus this gem

"Your AI everything app." ~ Forbes

Wait I thought X was the everything app.

I scrolled through and I have no idea why anyone would pay for this. It doesn't seem to be able to do anything that a GitLab instance can't and "AI" here just looks like a hook to ChatGPT.

Figma

balls! haha

How you design, align, and build matters. Do it together with Figma.

What the hell does "align" mean here? Align like a div to be centered? It seems to be a design tool so that's what I assume, but it's a weird thing to focus on.

Co-create in one space Work together in real time and empower designers to create in new ways.

Okay, this at least gives me a product pitch - design tool with real-time sharing like in Google Docs. That sounds actually useful.

Keep workflows efficient with tools that give every team visibility throughout the process.

... aaand this is just word salad, you lost me.

The rest looks like a regular pitch for a prototype tool for UX, which I think is a pretty specific and useful tool though, so I'm not 100% sure why it'd fit with the theme of the blogpost. Maybe I'm missing something, I never actually dealt with serious UX design.

Slack

This one was I surprised by since I thought I knew what the entire Slack product is - it's a chat. You have channels, direct messages, and pings. That's about it, right?

Move faster with your tools in one place Automate away routine tasks with the power of generative AI and simplify your workflow with all your favourite apps ready to go in Slack.

God what.

The rest is a normal pitch, flexible communications, remote work, channels, etc. But why would you start with AI? Again, Slack is a chat app why would you want gen AI in a chat app?

Wytham abbey was technically a manor house but “EA gets a castle” is objectively a funnier meme.

My "My non-profit castle is actually a manor house" t-shirt provokes a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt.

Also I'm sorry, but "EA buys a castle, but akchualy it's a manor house so it's cool" is objectively the funniest meme.

V0ldek, the largest poster in the Sneer industry, announced a strategic expansion of his big swinging dick. This significant move underscores V0ldek's dedication to advancing Sneer accessibility and efficiency, further solidifying his role as a pioneer in shaping the future of Sneering.

With a dick length exceeding 100cm (according to V0ldek) and a reputation for strategic investments in diverse subreddits, including SneerClub and Buttcoin mining, V0ldek continues to demonstrate his commitment to calling out bullshit.

I always say jk after sucking a dick so it doesn't count.
