Tepid take, I suppose, but it's increasingly clear to me that LLM usage is as addictive as nicotine at the least.

As a noted disliker of people, I shouldn&#39;t be as depressed as I am at how much the rise of prompt-fondling has destroyed the respect I once had for so many people.

We&#39;re electing City Council seats here in my town, and right now the two &quot;socialists&quot; (they ain&#39;t but one is DSA and got endorsed by Bernie) are ahead of the corpo candidates. So that&#39;s nice.

RE: https://masto.ai/@n0m0time/116539944901271083 Look, here's the fucking deal. Trump and his cronies are absolutely Nazis, but the reality is that we live in a kritocracy and have for decades. The Federalist Society has been working toward this goal for as long as I can remember, and the Democrats have been complicit in this for two reasons: 1) By continuing to rubber stamp the judicial nominations that let these assholes pack the courts and b) By insisting that all social progress *must*...

A few years back I bought a 20oz insulated mug from which to consume my iced coffee thinking, surely this will be a sufficient amount of coffee. Fam, it was a woefully inadequate amount of coffee. Criminally inadequate.

Nobody wants Trump gone more than me, but I truly wish non-U.S. people demanding to know why "we don't get rid of him" would understand that there are less than 600 people in the nation that can actually accomplish that task.

On a personally hilarious note, one of the Sales Managers has been going on all month about how the company was going to create a leadership position for him to focus on AI (I’ve been calling it the “Director of Sloperations”). The announcement was today and it's just a “manager" title (I'm a Sr. Manager for reference) and he reports to a guy who reports to my boss, so diagonally down in the org chart from me. Like, ultimately, who gives a fuck. But I did get a laugh out of it.

Some people say that space exploration is a waste of resources and that we should focus on issues here on Earth. Other people say that there is valuable science to be done and also, we should embrace the sense of wonder. I agree with both positions, which is why I say we should be studying the effect of shooting billionaires into the Sun...which would be wonderful.

@futurebird@sauropods.win This is the thing that gets me whenever the slopheads at my company wax idiotic about all the things they're "accomplishing" with AI. Like, gimme ten minutes and an API endpoint and I can whip that up in Python. And my “solution" will have the added benefit of being consistent.

Every time I hear “Trump does X in defiance of blah blah norms" All I really hear is “The U.S. has always been an empire, it's just that the previous dudes have been more polite about it”.
