In my late 20s I had just started my first real job as a programmer at a small company of about 10 people, I was kinda shy and hadn’t talked to people much. One day a woman was talking about her trip to New York and how there was this famous hotdog stand near the statue of liberty and how the seagulls just terrorised her and people buying hotdogs, swooping in to steal the sausages right out of your hands.
People were laughing and chatting about it and I joined in by wondering out loud if you could put a mannequin on a bench there and put hotdog meat in its eyesockets and teach seagulls to think that human eyeballs were made of hotdog.
The room went completely silent.
I’m now married to the secretary from that job. This was the first thing she remembers ever hearing me say.


I read an article a little while ago about one of the swimmers who was training for these games and it talked about exactly this, how the changes to his body shape and composition were bigger drawbacks than the added strength from the enhancements.
If this event ends up going for a while and has enough interest I would expect people to figure out an optimal way to dope to find the balance.


Yeah, an energy boosting substance should be more apt for quick sprints.
The opposite I think, meth doesn’t magically make you stronger or faster (it just feels like it does) but it keeps you going for longer.


“Kiddie fiddler” is a term used in Australia, I assume this actually what happened with the AI, its taken his description as a fiddler and equated it with this. Insane.
I saw Bladerunner as a teenager and it affected me so much I’m now a grown-ass man living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Follow your dreams.
