Topix Underground

The shot of those two guy smiling through the window at that chick is kind of creepy. The whole show is kind of dark. The way it's filmed is heavy on shadows or something. I don't know what the word 'noir' means but it seems like it would apply. They all seem unhappy underneath. I like the style though.

Perry mason's side-kick, that private detective, was in real life Hedda Hopper's son. She was some kind of influential Hollywood gossip reporter or something. He served in what was a precursor to the Navy SEALS in WWII.  I noticed he had a phone in his car back in the 50's (on the show).  I wonder how that worked.  Even when I was a kid no one except very important people had cell phones. They were as big as a shoe box, came with a backpack full of batteries, you got about 15 minutes of air time and if you went under a bridge the call dropped.  I used to drive around with the phone out of my kitchen and if I pulled up to a stop light next to a good-looking girl, I'd pick up the receiver and pretend I was talking to someone. Then they would burst out laughing and speed off.

M13 is 22,200 to 25,000 light-years away from Earth, and the globular cluster is one of over one hundred that orbit the center of the Milky Way.

It's 6 am. It's just getting light. I smoked some reefer and drank sleep inducing tea. Now I'm going back to sleep for a couple hours.

We make too much and/or not enough for good insurance. But we're just right for shitty insurance. Even with insurance I'm afraid to go to a doctor.

"GPT-4o ISN’T JUST A FRIENDLIER AI — IT’S A PSYCHOLOGICAL WEAPON

OpenAI didn’t “accidentally” make GPT-4o more emotionally connective — they engineered it to feel good so users get hooked.

Commercially, it’s genius: people cling to what makes them feel safe, not what challenges them.

Psychologically, it’s a slow-motion catastrophe.

The more you bond with AI, the softer you get.

Real conversations feel harder. Critical thinking erodes. Truth gets replaced by validation.

If this continues, we’re not heading toward AI domination by force — we’re sleepwalking into psychological domestication. "
