   @jaseg Indeed. I used to have a iMac and a Macbook Air and it was really good.

   It makes me a little bit nervous that my sole computer might break when I travel since I'm totally dependent on that thing.

   Also SSD Upgrades are so expensive that it seems way cheaper to just plug your external SSD into your MacStudio instead of upgrading it on a MacBook Pro.

   The final new bot wave I've identified alarms me greatly because I'm not even sure it exists.
   I've been "bot-hunting" for years - and I'm no longer sure I can spot them all now. The AI is getting really good.

   It takes high-level language skills to identify them, and the apps and the sites persist in throwing more tech at the problem.
   They're mostly Reply-Guy chatbots at the moment.
   The problem is exacerbated by users who keep engaging with these bots, significantly blurring the lines.
   It's all shits and giggles now, but I suspect these will become very high calibre trollbots - and hellishly difficult to spot. They could overwhelm a smaller site rather quickly.
   Their objective, like that of most bots, is fake traffic metrics. The platforms are lying to the influencers, and the advertisers, and the investors. They're all pretending to offer "eyeballs" (that's you and me) - and the new bots are passing the Turing test.
   We all laughed at the Twitter egg-avi influx, and we're still paying the price.

   Clear your delusions: SkyNet is human and it's not sending the T-1000s back one at a time.

   @taylormccue Not too bad - I was away for a bit and exorcised some stuff with a friend, and now we're feeling creative about our game project, so that's good.

   It's nice to see you come around here, even when you don't have anything immediate to show off.

   @zimowski ps. Youre all good.

   It's just been a long week.

   This week is the most I've been engaged with here in such a short period of time. It's a little overwhelming tbh.

   Things used to move pretty normally, but my notifications have been blowing up.

   "at what point here do you become what you hate? Yes, I hear you giving fascists a taste of their own medicine. And yes, retribution feels good.

   It’s also one of many things wrong with our system of social organization."

   You heard NOTHING if this is what you came back with in response to me telling you how to bet fascism. NOTHING at all. Absolute fucking wanker.

   Not gonna lie, NXT trying to mimic UFC isn't looking that good.

   It was a good, unique try. However, it's coming off to me, VERY tacky.🤷♂️
