What? I could eat

Oy

Uh… what?

(Also, do you have some pastrami? on Rye, perhaps? maybe with a little mustard?)

You’re gonna have to be a lot more specific than that

Again: fuck the stigma. Therapy is great!

Yes

I’ve binged through the show a bunch of times, myself

As I recall, he was a perfectly competent staff member. I think he worked on the speechwriting team? It was a while ago, now, so I don’t remember most of the details.

Iirc, he only worked in the first Obama administration, and then returned to Hollywood. Apparently, having a perfectly normal job for four years was enough.

And then left that show to join the Obama administration. Seriously.

Oooooh… yeah, I see what you mean. I don’t use the YouTube app for precisely that reason. That, and better playlist control through the website. I can accomplish everything I want from the website version of YouTube, which usually isn’t much when I’m just using my phone, and if I want anything more complicated, I usually have my MacBook Pro with me, so I just use that instead.

And that usually is just using AirPlay for videos to my Apple TV, and I certainly don’t use the YouTube app on that, again, because I can’t use ad block on the YouTube app on my Apple TV, which is why I AirPlay videos from my MacBook Pro. And that works great, because the YouTube website offers much better control in creating playlists. So I would probably be using the website on my Mac anyway just for that.

I guess it really comes down to my particular use case

ublock origin light even blocks YouTube ads. It’s perfect.

Before that, there were plenty of other ad blockers for iPhone.

I haven’t seen an ad in well over 15 years (except for when I was setting up a new device)

The only joke is how mad you still are, lol

lol grow up

Greatest place on earth

That explains why you expect an award just because you aged.

And why you refer to anyone who calls you on your shit a “boomer“

Yawn.

lol whatever, kid

I was living in NYC when Google Glass first premiered. Within three or four days, almost every restaurant, every shop, and certainly every bar and club had a sign that said “Google glass forbidden! Anyone wearing Google glass will be banned for life!“

I didn’t see many people wearing them, but when I did, it wouldn’t be long before I saw some random person just punch the fuck out of that person, or grab the headset off of the person’s face and just stomp it, and then just start screaming at the person who was wearing them until they ran away, while everyone nearby cheered them on.

And every time, I felt that they deserved that— because they did.

With all of these secret spyware sunglasses that Meta is pushing out today? I fully expected people being beat to death with baseball bats, or being shot in the face with guns. I’m actually quite glad that people are learning their lessons now before they are just being fucking murdered in the streets. But if that’s what it takes for people to stop wearing these sunglasses, not spy on people in record them without their permission, then so be it.

Listen up, you entitled assholes. You wear these stupid spyglasses in public, and you deserve every shred of bodily harm and violence that you get coming to you. And if it takes every single person who puts them on their face being torn apart in the streets and dying horrific death until a long gets past banning them forever, then please please please make that happen. People need to learn that their personal entitlement will cost them their lives if it steps hard enough on others that the others fight back. And we others? We need to learn how to fight back hard enough to make them stop.

so windy!

But it has. Repeatedly. And it often continues to do so. There are few things that contemporaneous AI truly excels at, but that’s definitely one of them: aggregating disparate information into condensed information summaries and drawing logical conclusions based off of that disparately assembled information. especially when that information is technical in nature.

And managing to do so all while teaching me all about the subject matter at hand better than I would’ve learned it by mucking around blind on my own? Amazing.

Did you even bother reading the previous comment that you replied to?

no. in that instance, search would have been sufficient.

but if that answer came in the form of tens of thousands of fragmented answers delivered over hundreds of thousands of forum posts/replies made over the course of 35+ years, then AI is able to parse all of that in seconds rather than making me do that over the course of, possibly, years (or just giving up long before then)-- and that’s a process I’ve already been through many, many times before over the decades.

no, if I can just save a bunch of time and simply ask Claude and get a reply that will not only give me the solution I need, but also explain to me exactly why the problem existed in the first place and why the solution works, then the AI is working is a positive way that’s worthwhile.
