For the next big Twitter-killer social media network, our trademark bad idea is that we're not gonna let users enter alt-text:
Instead we're just using an LLM to identify what's in the photo.

@foone this makes me think of that YouTuber that would do covers of songs by translating them from English back to English through 5 other languages

I don't know how we made it into the 2000s. I can't think without at least two screens

oh sweet jesus. I found some raspi-based GPS/RFID devices at ewaste, right? and they had a mini-PCIe WLAN card, complete with SIM card in it.

The SIM card is still active.

The problem with being a weird geek like me is that I've seen the coolest thing I've seen in years and it's a DIY pie launcher

The kinda counterpart to the Torment Nexus is that sometimes as a writer you're not really trying to write a cautionary tale so much as thinking that if the Torment Nexus did exist, you personally would not be able to resist it, and would have a lot of fun (and probably screw up your life big time) abusing the Torment Nexus.

So you're writing about the Torment Nexus because it doesn't exist and writing about it is as close as you can get to being able to play with it.

I wonder how hard it is to make a fake USB printer.
Like, a printer that takes any printout and goes "yep, that printed just fine" but nothing ever comes out anywhere

Bad idea that could still make a lot of money:
A small desk-size washing machine, with proprietary soap packets, designed to clean keyboard keycaps.
