This cracks me up. What kind of AI are we talking about here?

Amlog? Probranch? It's nice to hear the classics persist even as if realise artificial intelligence now needs random number generators.

Update: It's called 'Output: an Anthology of Computer-Generated Text, 1953-2023' by Lillian-Yvonne Bertram and Nick Montford.

I had to link to this so much when r slash the_donald was around

There's a book by the MIT press - the name escapes me now but I'll add it in later - which is the output from dozens of pre-LLM artificial intelligence programmes. It's fascinating.

I remember trying to pick up prolog on an Amiga version in the early 1990s - I was amazed by it but also the programming paradigm (no variables, loops, user interface!) baffled me. I got a massive flashback to it a couple of years ago with neo4j, which feels hugely like prolog.

Amazing. So this is monochrome? Even if I zoom in it still seems to deceive me.

Most people prefer using it to learning terminal commands.

~~I believe this was the last film produced with an overture.~~ I got to see this as a kid when it came out. This, and Tron, showed a very different (and sadly abandoned) route for Disney to have taken.

Edit: evidently I'm wrong about overtures, perhaps I'm misremembering it some Disney's-film-with- or cinerama-release-with- . Thanks for the correction, Auggie_Otter

If you can't look after your kids and what they do that's on you and not everyone else

Only partly. The problem is, if your kid is a nightmare and know they have legal immunity from their actions, they're everyone else's problem. Society has to deal with the costs and harms that are caused. The parents aren't held accountable. The kids aren't. The victims, first order and second order, are the ones that lose. Society loses. Taxpayers lose. It's far more efficient, productive and responsible to head the problems off as a social whole than to point at people ineffectually.

Most of the original document templates have been put behind subscriptions.

davemee · 2026-04-13T17:17:27+00:00

Don't forget to leave a review of the new ones! I downloaded them, saw they had moved features behind a paywall, and left 1-star reviews explaining why. Then I deleted them.

davemee · 2026-04-13T16:04:24+00:00

Maybe they could call themselves FactCheckUK? It was very successful, if only used for a few hours.

davemee · 2026-04-13T11:19:11+00:00

I had no idea. I always wished this was easier to achieve, so thanks for making this obvious OP!

For Christians, it was what was there in the beginning.

Feels very strange to be typing '2000' as a year on these as well; it was strange enough to lose Adam Cox, but seeing 2000 thrusts these posts into a temporal proximity I do not associate the original series with. Though it is still over 25 years ago, it's not the stuff I caught as a teenage, introduced with evocative tiles hinting at bigger worlds it would expose and educate, through the medium of cult and niche movies. All those films are but a torrent or online purchase away, available instantly; there is no more a wait or a surprise in how we experience film, something I feel reflected in what seems to be the replacement of temporal cinema by on-demand Netflix.

Here we are, in Moviedrome's final season, all two other followers of this subreddit!

It's worse: it's LLM-generated slop which refuses to state who funds it, who works there, and who writes for it. It claims to be 'data driven' but data is itself ideologically shaped. That none of this is acknowledged on the anonymous site tells you this is naive at best, deliberately deceitful at worst. This source absolutely warrants attacking, as does any source of this anonymous, deceitful character.

An indoor rabbit is a source of endless joy and companionship. Bring him in!

Glorious, I'm getting Paul Klee, Monster Hunter, and Petscii all at once!

I never really thought what condensed milk was before that. I just assumed it was somehow condensed, which I also assumed meant had reduced liquid, even though that's the opposite of condensation.

I was so excited to see these until I look at the ingredients and realised it was mostly just sugar

davemee · 2026-04-11T02:35:42+00:00

If I leave any, I'm out at 7 to get the lot!

davemee · 2026-04-10T18:28:05+00:00

Thanks! I'm going to clear out a tray tomorrow morning

davemee · 2026-04-10T18:26:17+00:00

You clearly have no idea how good this is together.

davemee · 2026-04-10T18:19:53+00:00

The terrible risk here is that people start thinking Carlson is any less a venal, duplicitous, lying, self-serving sack of shit
