Right now if you search for "country in Africa that starts with the letter K":

- DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.

- Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.

This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:

"There are no countries in Africa that start with K."
"What about Kenya?"
"Kenya suck deez nuts?"

Google Search is over.

Free speech has its limits. If you shout “Theater!” in a crowded firehouse they spray you with the hose.

This captures a moment just before I learnt something important.

I learnt that a 360 camera is NOT a good choice for capturing the glorious sight of a rainbow at sea. It's there, if you look really closely, but.... aye...

Nice planet sphere though, and an excellent foghorn.

@evilstevie Hah, perfect! Maybe it’s both. The names Bob, Weird Bob.

what LLMs effectively do is reduce ‘infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters’ to about a hundred monkeys and you have to choose which monkey you think is the best

I took a few macro photos of this purple and cream flower. None of the photos were quite right, but they all made me think of alien landscapes. They were very other-worldly.

Then one of them turned into this.

I think it's friendly.

Loved when NFTs were getting hyped because if you were skeptical a bunch of chuds were like "You just don't understand how it works" and then you'd look up how it worked and it was actually much stupider than you thought

Bro they were trying to charge for URLs

@stavvers @andi I was really hoping submersible guy would kick off a bizarre-demise fad among the super rich.

Thiel: dies after deliberately replacing his own blood with the bile of forty hyenas.

Musk: devoured like a pagan god by his many children.

Ellison: Lost at sea. Found. Thrown back.

It's come to my attention that many of my international followers just don't do cryptic crosswords, so here's how the answer *works*

The clue is looking for a word that means "sexual impulse".

Lido is a pool
Bi is swinging both ways

Put "bi" in "lido" and you get "libido" which means sexual impulse.

This is how we live on rainy fascist island.
