Don't make me tap the sign, y'all.

Grummz I hate what I call the "AI gacha" system where you basically are paying for pulls and the AI to iterate while you roll the dice on it getting what you want right. And it also ENCOURAGES AI companies to design their AI poorly so getting what you want takes more tries.

Dark UX patterns in social media. You know perfectly well that all those red blinking dots every time you sign in are almost certainly just bots and ads, but you still have to click to clear the dots every time, *just to be sure* you don't miss the one you actually care about.

The moloch SSC article is so deeply embedded in this sphere but no one remembers the ending, where we have to kill moloch and replace him with a better god

The AI's code (left) versus my edited version (right).

This is absolutely not the bottom line. In free societies, law enforcement officers do not get to KILL YOU because you don't do what they say. I feel like I am going insane because people really cannot believe this and still call themselves American patriots.

A culture must accommodate its own disruption or be destroyed by it. Once upon a time, the leftists were the edgy ones, peeing on crosses or mocking American flags to make the conservatives squirm. Then the left became not only puritanical but began advocating for an internal
