Aquilegia Hybrida @eccentricflower.com · 14hYeah, I grant that there's a hidden third part "but the ads need to behave themselves" 010
Aquilegia Hybrida @eccentricflower.com · 17hYou know, if y'all didn't feel the way you do about web ads, we could just have ads. Sure, they'd be ads, but then we could see things for free without giving them our data to spam us with. 100
Aquilegia Hybrida @eccentricflower.com · 17hBy the by, I did not actually read that Vulture review of DIGGER. I saved it to read later on a real screen, and when I got there, I was hit by a wall with two choices: Register on their site or pay $4, and I'm not doing either. 100
Aquilegia Hybrida @eccentricflower.com · 19hAnd as someone who has made an ENORMOUS investment in Studio resources just to have a half-assed solution to the fact that I can’t draw and the audience won’t read, I am hugely sympathetic to the generative art users — but it doesn’t matter. Theft. Ruin. IT MUST BURN. 000
Aquilegia Hybrida @eccentricflower.com · 20hYou know, there’s a fair bit of generative art these days I like. It’s people using the tools to realize ideas that they otherwise would not have the money or artistic ability to do. TOO FUCKING BAD. It’s founded on theft and ecological disaster and it has to burn. IT HAS TO BURN 100
Aquilegia Hybrida @eccentricflower.com · 20hThis is a visceral issue and it must be fought viscerally, not with facts. I realize this pisses off the people who have good and legitimate uses of these tools. I’m sorry. You have to be collateral damage and that sucks, but the stakes are too high. This crap is destroying brains and vocations. 000
Aquilegia Hybrida @eccentricflower.com · 20hThe main reason I haven’t written that essay on This Is What LLMs Are Actually Doing Get A Clue Folks is that I’ve concluded more understanding won’t actually help achieve the goal, which is to destroy Altman and the Amodeis and all their sycophants while it’s still not too late to fix the damage. 100
Aquilegia Hybrida @eccentricflower.com · 20hI would very much like to find a solution that doesn’t destroy the good and valid uses of these tools, and I’m sympathetic to your position, but fir now that’s secondary to destroying Altman and the Amodeis and all their sycophants. Short-term goals. 000
Aquilegia Hybrida @eccentricflower.com · 20hI’m sorry, Len, I really am, but this is war. I’m having tremendous trouble getting people to understand that LLMs don’t know the MEANINGS of any of thr words they string together. I can’t afford nuance here. 100

Reposted by Aquilegia HybridaJohn Scalzi @scalzi.com · 29/09/2026To be fair, the single most publicly-accessed example of "AI" in the world can't find its ass with a flashlight and it's right on top of the search listings, where the most accurate search result used to be.

Reposted by Aquilegia HybridaJohn Scalzi @scalzi.com · 29/09/2026A thing I learned not too long ago is that when an LLM selects a token that leads it down an incorrect path (factually), it has no way to back up, or even know that it should back up, it's just on to the next likely bit. Literally every LLM is just posting their way through it. What an image. 451258188
