Thanks, Toby!

I just found out this morning that my prediction for Deltarune Chapter 5’s release date was partly right: it was indeed announced last-minute. Fifteen days prior, to be exact.

That was fifteen days ago, by the way. Meaning it releases today.

On– My? BIRTHDAY???

What!

So… Happy birthday to me, apparently! Best birthday surprise ever! I’m just gonna go turn off the internet for a couple months to make sure I don’t see any spoilers.

…Bye!

That Feel

When you leave a comment on one of your favorite webcomics and the author drops a “like” on it:

Me (to myself): This is great. I'm going to get a good grade in [comment], something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

Unfortunately, I still don’t have the polyamory flag colors. Better luck next year?

Why Am I Like This, pt. XVIII

Me: “All right, feeling good! Looking forward to locking in and getting some serious work done 😎”

My coworkers: *immediately gather around my cubicle to loudly socialize*

My family: “When are we going to see you again??”

My watch: “It’s literally 4:30 pm, bro”

Me: “FFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffff”

Why Am I Like This, pt. XVII

[window sticker]:

The word "FAITH" above a horizontal line, with the word "FEAR" below the line.

[me]: Let’s see…the Fs and As cancel out, so that reduces to: “ITH over ER” *satisfied nod*

AI Companies Using AI to Suppress AI Regulation

I’m shocked. Again.

In February, PauseAI received an email from Michael Chen, a journalist at The Wire by Acutus. He was looking for a response to an article he was writing about what he called “escalating anti-AI radicalism.”

Only Michael Chen does not exist.

According to an in-depth investigation by Model Republic, Michael Chen is an AI agent – an AI system capable of researching, emailing, interviewing, writing and publishing content.

Model Republic’s reporting indicates that almost the entire Acutus website is generated by AI and that the trail of ownership appears to lead back to OpenAI.

These are the sorts of things our descendants will read about in history books and think, “How in the world could they have missed these signs? Why weren’t there riots? Were our ancestors just that dense? Or were they truly more afraid of embarassment than death–or the death of their children?”

Of course, that’s assuming we have any descendants.

Office Problems, pt. IV

Judging by when I’m most productive while working from home (and rested), my ideal working hours seem to be roughly 1-9 P.M.

…Do any of y’all know of remote work opportunities in Hawaii or New Zealand?
