  • It’s probably not perfect, but this is what we have right now. I only nightshade my stuff because I don’t think anyone will want to imitate my style anyway (I’m years and years away from that kind of recognition) and I think it’s more important to go on the offensive. Ideally, imho everybody should always at least nightshade every image file they upload, drawing, painting, photograph, not just “art” but anything visual.

    I’m confused by this phrase:

    this DEI gimmick

    What gimmick would that be? I can’t see anything in the text that this might refer to. Is this a translation issue? Because even the term “DEI” is at least unusual, that’s not a thing in Germany. I’d like to know what he said originally.





  • They are a feature that capitalists think will be useful - of course they are ultimately meant to make you spend more money. It’s not inconceivable that means they’ll make your visit to a site more pleasant (so you’ll be likely to come back to spend more).

    That said, it’s also The Thing To Do these days to put AI into everything, whether it’s actually useful or not. So whether or not any particular AI assistant will be helpful or not is anyone’s guess and you’ll have to try them to see. Any AI assistant I’ve interacted with has been decidedly less than helpful and just barfed up what information I could’ve found more easily on my own.

    • hey gym assistant, does the subscription include a trainer showing me how stuff works?
    • the subscription includes a personalised training plan :)
    • okay but will your staff show me how the equipment works?
    • the personalised workout plan is included in the subscription and is personalised to you by our staff :)
    • i am a total beginner, never been to the gym, will your staff show me how to use the equipment if i don’t know how to use it?
    • our staff will help you design your workout plan personalised to your individual fitness level. sugar free drinks are included in the subscription too :)
    • you’re not answering my question. i don’t want to know about the personalised workout plan or the drinks. i need to know about the equipment in the gym. is there anyone who can teach me how to use the equipment so i don’t hurt myself?
    • i’m sorry, i don’t know that :( hey but our subscription is awesome :)

    True story.

    (I ended up assuming they’re not going to show me shit.)



  • Could the other refiners just not be working on anything? They might be props for Mark. Lumon knows that hoomans apparently need hooman interaction, their work output suffers when they feel lonely and for now (in this current version of severance) they haven’t found a more cost-effective solution to this embarrassment. So maybe the other refiners are given truly meaningless tasks that just imitate what Mark is doing just so that Mark feels comfortable enough in his simulated normal work environment to finish his important work. This icky hooman stuff is all supposed to go away with the next version of severance.

    I’m going to say it: the other refiners are working on goats.

    Before Mark started working on Gemma, this may have been different. There were probably several earlier iterations of this project that ran simultaneously. Petey, Dylan and Irving used to work on real people. Mark working on Gemma just proved so successful that every other test was abandoned and the other refiners were reluctantly retained, for the reason above.

    Or, of course, there’s always the possibility of more people like Gemma trapped somewhere.
