  @brib@bribstodon.xyz @davidgerard@circumstances.run i honestly think, based on how the article is written, that Yegge experiences agent usage as a power fantasy of owning/commanding people. You can see it in the strange governance structures and hierarchies that abstract him as the leader of some pyramid structure, rather than a set of interconnected tools. The antropromorphising of the individual software instances is another big clue - he has deliberately structured it to feel as much like con...

  Sorry, I had originally just boosted this because I like the idea of a dark sky app that uses proper astronomical data but I took a second look at the page and it has that LLM-generated feel to the UI. Can't explain it that well but it has The Stank. I apologise! RE: https://indieweb.social/ap/users/115948090307838315/statuses/117022764569677489

  all I'm saying is if he'd sat down and gone "who am I helping with this?" the answer makes it clear that this isn't a useful thing to do with LLM's because the answer is "Cory Doctorow" and no one else

  Has anyone else here watched The Substance? i was quite disappointed by it tbh - i really liked how it started but i felt a lot like it didn't trust me to get the point on my own. So much revisitation, so many things either told or so obviously shown you might as well be telling. Like "process that makes you hot and young but its excruciating and yucky" is a great metaphor for so many things about the U.S. obsession with aging and youth, but i felt like we missed out on so many...

  can't find any goddamn non-ai orchid botanical diagrams on multiple search indices ​:cat_sadder:​ but shoutout to Dannye Chase Dot Com for pointing me to Artvee, where I found Mary Vaux Walcott's body of work from the 1920's that's perfect for what I'm doing ​:cat_disco:​ I wonder if aggregating a list of domain-specific AI free search engines would be nice
