Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 23/06/2026I’m not the one accusing another person of being 17 and using an LLM. You should calm down and take a breath. 000
Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 23/06/2026You are contradicting your own metaphor. The LLM hammer that was sold to the carpenter was supposed to be a smart one capable of targeting nails automatically. Otherwise, why would I buy it over a normal one? 000
Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 23/06/2026He’s smug because he made a profit. The tech doesn’t need to work if you made bank. You live in a neoliberal capitalist society run by a technocratic banker as PM, and you are not aware that this is how business works? 000
Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 23/06/2026The point is, you shouldn’t spend billions on shiny tech because of FOMO, especially when it’s been proven to be absurdly ineffective in both office and military environments. 010
Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Still doesn’t justify spending billions of dollars on a stupid machine that targets schoolchildren instead of a military base. 000
Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 23/06/2026It’s not a very good hammer if it targets your finger every instead of the nail. All things being equal, an Israeli mole could have told you that the Minab school was not a military base for a fraction of the cost. 000
Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Does this also include letting known human rights abuser, former ICE chairman, and dog-killing scum Kristi Noem work for a Vancouver company? 000
Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 23/06/2026They used Palantir AI to target that girl’s school in Minab. That goes to show you how stupid and ineffective that tech is. 010

Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 10/06/2026If the Iran war is any indication, spending your way to a military victory is an enormously stupid move. Especially if your enemy can blow your stuff up on a shoestring budget. 010
Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 31/05/2026This man wrote one of the best mystery novels I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a long, long time. Don’t let the bizarre mask fool you — “Strange Pictures” is one hell of a trip. Grab a copy when you can. 030
Josh Bartolome @jbartolome.bsky.social · 29/05/2026A machine cannot ape interiority, which is essential in fiction writing. The way a character relates to the world and interprets events through a unique perspective can’t be broken down into a SVO formula. This is why LLM writing seems so abhorrent. It sounds the notes but doesn’t play the music. 082
