Blocking? Isn't that what Jamie Sycamore was sued over (which cost us taxpayers money when he was found guilty)?

My least favorite part of living in the panopticon is being catcalled by people's miscalibrated whistling porch security cameras.

Dear tech recruiters: if I reply to your emails saying that I'm not interested in the jobs you're recruiting for, the follow-up course of action is certainly *not* to call me to discuss things further.

This was so disappointing. We were seated outside, & despite asking the bartender to have our orders taken, the waiter ghosted the table for 40 minutes. By the time we were able to flag them down, we resigned ourselves to getting a single beer and moving elsewhere. The bar was full, but not packed.

one data point i will graciously concede to the “llms can think” cranks is that i absolutely do not believe a stochastic parrot trained on internet conversation would ever decide to assemble the sentence “you’re right i misspoke”. so that came from someplace else
