Roughly 99.99% of games of Go ever played are AI self-play training games. So if you ever find yourself playing Go that means you’re probably an AI.
My pal got pulled over in fog. The cop said “What do we do when we encounter Mr Fog, sir?” Flustered, my mate says “I guess we put our foot on Mr Brakes and pull over into Mr Slow Lane, officer”. The cop says, “No sir, I said “What do we do when we encounter MIST OR FOG?!!!” 😂
RIP the legendary Tom Stoppard. Among his more famous achievements, he radically rewrote Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (under the pen-name Barry Watson), adding most of the thrilling beats and hilarious gags. One of my favourites: the cut to Brody, after being hyped up as…
the Michelin man is kinda like a Greek god in the sense that he presides over tires and which restaurants are good
This broke the Internet in 2018. It was totally spontaneous and recorded on an iPhone.

In 2006, a teacher told students to write to a famous author for advice. The only author to respond was Kurt Vonnegut, born 103 years ago today.

every moment that the ports of oakland and LA remain shitty analog human scale, 9-5 & closed on weekends, instead of a fully automated alien behemoth running around the clock is prosperity stolen from you and your country by unions and regulations. it’s embarrassing
I’ve been thinking about this David Foster Wallace quote more and more recently “The technology is just gonna get better and better and better and better. And it's gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable to be alone with images…
love george lucas bc he just inexplicably has the exact preoccupations of an 18th century democratic-republican. like why was bro making movies about tariff policy, the dangers of standing armies, and the perfidy of centralizing court party monocrats
Jane Goodall died today. While smarter and more informed people will talk about her work, I want to share a snippet from her Wikipedia page - the two greatest paragraphs ever on Wikipedia. The first parts are amusing and interesting, but the last sentence elevates it to high art.
Incredible to me how the universe balances everything out. For instance, last month we had to replace our roof. That was $14k. But then this week, we find out our son needs braces which will cost about $6k. Now the water heater isn't working. Maybe this was a bad example.
