I’m fearful if I add anymore, it may reach mozzarella singularity. No life, only moz

This is very clever and I hate you for it.

So I have absolutely boofed up a lasagna. It’s an old Margaret Fulton recipe and I was really looking forward to making it for the first time in ages.

The cheese mix was perfect, and the meat had cooked down fantastically. I must have had a brain fart though, because instead of just a sprinkle of mozzarella in between the middle layer and on top, I seem to have totally overdone it - it’s basically a mozzarella pile that just tastes like it’s been in the same room as the meat sauce. Pretty much a salty inedible blob.

So instead of wasting it, I wanted to ask if anyone has any ideas of how to salvage this mess? Recook with extra sauce? Scrap off the top and hope for the best? Anyway to save it!?

I’m legit looking forward to when Google returns completely garbled and unreadable search results, because someone is running an automated Ads campaign that sources another automated campaign and so on, with the only reason it rises to the top is that they put the highest bid amount.

I doubt Google will do shit about it, but at least the memes will be good!

Honestly, that sounds like the most realistic outcome. If the history of the internet is anything to go by, the bubble will reach critical mass and not so much pop, as slowly deflate when something else begins to grow and take its place of hype.

You’re absolutely right about not going back. Web 3.0 I guess. I want to be optimistic that a distinction between all the garbage and actual useful or real information will be visible to people, but like you said, general tech and media literacy isn’t encouraging, hey?

Slightly related, but I’ve actually noticed a government awareness campaign where I live about identifying digital scams. Be nice if that could be extended to incorrect or misleading AI content too.

Well said! I’m still wondering what happens when the enviable ouroboros of AI content referencing AI content referencing AI content makes the whole internet a self perpetuating mess of unreadable content and makes anything of value these companies once gained basically useless.

Would that eventually result in fresh, actual human created content only coming from social media? I guess clauses about using your likeness will be popping up in TikTok at some point (if they aren’t already)

I love a good chunky overdrive. Not enough that it’s all just fuzz, but something that adds snarl while preserving body. I used a Boss for a while but last year switched to a Darkglass BK3 It’s absolutely amazing. The volume can be a bit tricky to balance but it adds just enough bite with the blend and mid boost to cut through without becoming mud. Highly recommend.

Can this be a new, more positive spin on the koala copy pasta? Cuz horseshoe crabs really are fucking gnarly

One cup a day. That cup happens to be the size of a bathtub.

I have a sneaking suspicion that other players photos are appearing as loading screens as well. Some of them just look a bit more like gameplay than offical.

Not sure if this in confirmed or not, I’ve just been thinking about it for a while.

I’ve only ever really watched this unfold with a causal interest, so whilst I’d like to know more, that article really said very little aside from a few dates and numbers.

More so, and the reason I’m making this comment, is the whole thing felt 100% like the second output of a GPT print. That format of “why is this the way it is? There at several reasons…” followed by a bunch of points that barely address the question, let alone answer it. That and the random bolder phrases.

Still, maybe is had more work put into it than Star Citizen?
