white always wins
this is the method Elon prefers
this was mentioned in last week's thread
what I don't get is why the admins chose to both backdate the entries and re-use poster's handles. If they'd just tried to "close" open questions using GenAI with the current date and a robot user it would still be shit but not quite as deceptive
This is a good article, thanks for posting.
SoftBank, one of the big backers behind Stargate, is notorious for WeWork-level funding disasters — but five days from floating the idea to the crash might be a new record.

Free SFnal short story idea, came to me literally in a dream:
Dude is living his best life, beatiful house, beatiful wife, gets a job doing computer stuff "improving the world". But his big fancy work computer is wasting a lot of space so he reformats it/installs Nix, and suddenly everythings gone, all grey wireframe, no way out. Turns out he was given root to his own simulation and there's no backup.
Feels I should have read this somehwere but haven't read short SF in ages so...
