    [serious: no fun allowed zone]

    I thought the internet as a whole had kind of reached a consensus that 'april fool' intentional misinformation posts were shit and overplayed, so we had started to see a shift to people creating fun toy instead - like reddit r/place. What happened with that? We're slipping back?

    I am continuing to play nomifactory, I like this minecraft mod a lot. I have been building a new base which is supposed to be more well designed. I have my power generator system perfected, and scaled up. So I can power all my machines. I have also rebuild my fluid processing systems using digital storage and this has simplified how it all works a lot. It's pleasing to optimize things in this way so that they all run well on their own and don't require constant manual intervention.

    I've been playing minecraft modpack nomifactory. It's very addictive. everything takes a lot of small parts to craft and it's enjoyable building up systems that build parts for you.

    This just occurred to me and I can't stop thinking about it. Why are we calling ourselves queer? Why has that term become accepted and embraced?

    I think that if AI tools based on technology like this become commonplace part of lives (e.g. replacing customer service, phone calls etc.) then... learning to "prompt" these AIs well will become an important life skill. After 10 mins of trying to get ChatGPT to do what I want, I'm absolutely horrified by this prospect. I don't want to have account access, healthcare etc. gated through one of these AI bots. Not at all excited about that.
