For my public services pals, what percentage of email reference seems to be chatbot-authored these days? Our inbox looks to be over a third AI-generated, but as yet rare to be sent by a self-identified agent like ilands.

Almost every hobby or passtime I've had my entire life - comic books, action figures, trading cards, personal computers, even *the movies* - has been consumed by a bunch of gambling addicts desperate for some new speculative market and we should make gambling illegal because it's their fucking turn

It's extremely in front of our faces. "Automation" without human intervention is the gas company phone tree that runs you in circles forever, the broken website for which none of the third part vendors will take responsibility. There's no substitute for human workers, nor for paying them.

Ok I keep coming up with even more ideas so that’s not working. But perhaps most of all I think that the whole story of the island is about deeds of gift, documented custody, and provenance tracking

I’ve seen a lot of discussion of the ending of Lost (2004-2010) on here lately, perhaps because of various tv show rankings. I will not be weighing in because I already have (my tumblr is available via Wayback) but I will just say that “they were dead the whole time” is a WILLFUL MISINTERPRETATION

even if you’re down with using LLMs to code on hobby projects like this, dropping a 50,000 line PR with tons of unrelated garbage is the software equivalent to walking into someone’s house and pissing on their rug

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.
