You are allowed to reject LLMs. (...) You might meet resistance citing [many] reasons when rejecting LLMs. (...) None of these need to deter you. You are still allowed to reject them on any and every grounds you like.

One thing I've noticed, with all the AI doomerism, is just how much *contempt* all these AI bros have for actual labor, to the point where they pretend it doesn't actually exist or matter.

Like, my dude, I am absolutely sure you haven't noticed, but in the Real World:tm: actual human beings are still required for basically all productive things, and if your magic AI overlord (which is just three calvinist views of God in a trench coat) takes over then nothing's getting done.

As for me, I'm going to try to figure out how to make this grass I am working on in Blender better. But also when I took a screenshot of it, somehow that screenshot corrupted in the most beautiful way. Rather than show you my visible WIP grass screenshot, I'm going to share this corrupted screenshot because it looks kinda beautiful

My inner hoarder fell in love with the knapsack problem simulator immediately.

11/10, would wear three large hiking backpacks again to carry a metric fuckton of steel lumps back to my mobile, solar-powered base tank.

Thank you, Maya. PZ got shit on C:DDA.

@cwebber chatting with my mom over lunch. "Umm your phones going kinda crazy do you need to get that?"
"It's ok I'm just getting Christined again. I can check it later."
"You got what?"
"Christined, it's like being knighted on the fediverse."
(This explains nothing, obviously. Revenge for past transgressions.)

I was planning on working on some chair covers today, but Clara is doing her best to convince me to keep knitting, so we'll see!

> The website WE NEWS has three northern Indigenous 'AI correspondents.' Their profiles say they are 'a member of Yukon First Nation,' 'of Dene heritage,' and 'an Inuk raised in the North.' Experts in the industry call the site disturbing and say it muddies the waters for readers trying to get authentic information.

good news bad news, we've got the majority of the bytes from the log-load transform described now, but the runtime is up to nine minutes again

we know exactly why, and there's a thing we can do when we're better rested that'll probably fix that particular concern once and for all, but it's work we'll have to do
