Amazing. I never thought we’d invent real life C-3POs (etiquette and protocol droids) before we’d invent R2-D2s, but here we are.
I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner. I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.
Oh no, if Twitter goes down I’ll… *checks notes* …be significantly more productive at work and spend more focused time with my family?

If you come across any nerds over 30 today who seem mysteriously sad, this is why.
Kevin Conroy, who’s most well known as the iconic voice behind Batman in BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, has sadly passed away at the age of 66… Rest In Peace
In the documentary I Know That Voice, Kevin Conroy tells this unforgettable story about working at a food relief station in Manhattan in the days after 9/11. It’s one of my favorite stories he told about the power of his talents. Rest In Peace Mr. Conroy

Showing my 5-year-old Star Wars… HER: Why does Darth Vader look like that? ME: He got hurt in a fight with Obi-Wan Kenobi a long time ago. HER: Is there a movie about that? ME: …There’s 3 movies and dozens of TV episodes about that. HER: WHAAAAT!?
No, *you* told an AI to draw Joe Biden in the style of Batman: The Animated Series.

We, the People of the State of California, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure and perpetuate its blessings, do establish and ordain this Constitution, so that we all may vote on dialysis-related ballot measures, every year, for the rest of our lives.
In UP, Carl Fredericksen’s Bay Area neighborhood is being upzoned into big skyscrapers instead of crumbling single family homes and it’s portrayed as tragic but tbh that’s a better use of land sorry

I really enjoyed this unexpected sci-fi novella twitter thread from @imillhiser. And since I've been looking for something fun to do with machine-generated art, I made #stablediffusion generate a book cover. My computer literally made all these last night while I slept.

If my career collapses, please know it's because I finally got one of those machine learning art generator things to run on my laptop, and it's very hard to write when you can make pictures of Joe Biden as different fighting game characters whenever you want. #stablediffusion

Why yes I have had a low-grade fever for several days while taking care of a 5-year-old, why do you ask?

Game 1 Thursday (9 PM ET) on ABC
The first two new episodes of Kids in the Hall feel miraculous. They’ve somehow seamlessly continued the original show’s energy and style (from 1995!) and it still feels fresh. I was scared this would be old heroes embarrassing themselves but instead it’s triumphant.

Two brief (non-spoiler) thoughts on Severance after watching the season finale. 1. It's very good and reminds me of the best parts of Lost (the dollops of concentrated weirdness, warm and funny relationships, mystery that focused on character psychology rather than plot).

...so as the season built I stopped caring about the why of the mystery and got pulled into the tension of wondering how these people I cared about would navigate all the emotional and physical dangers I knew existed around every corner.

Can they keep up a mystery box show like this? I don't know. But I really enjoyed the smart plotting, wonderful performances, and memorable visuals of season one.
