"Anthropomorphizing" is normal. It's just using familiar words to talk about complex systems with internal state: "This thing has a mind of its own." "This car wants to pull to the right." "The thermostat thinks it's too warm." 💯 cromulent expressions. Not fallacious or an indication of psychosis.

But it sucked. No manufacturer ever figured out how to make reliable spring contacts for that form factor. The contact springs wore out even faster than today's batteries. They caused flakiness and reboots and users stressed. By all means, support right-to-repair. But with basic tools and competency

It is interesting how strongly people want to fit LLM/AI into existing concepts like "software".

Over the weekend I read The Final Architecture: Salvation’s Child by @aptshadow.bsky.social - a graphic novel prequel to the Final Architecture trilogy. A cracking addition to that universe, I won't go into spoilers but if you enjoyed the original books this is definitely for you. 1/
Cover for Salvation's Child by Adrian Tchaikovsky - A graphic novel. Tchikovsky Collins Bowland Introduction by Sophie Aldred. The image shows various spacecraft fleeing an Architect alien craft coming through a wormhole in nebula.

Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison (R) tries to scam MAGA with deceptively edited UFO video. The blur/bloom was an effect added in editing, it blurs even the “Pause (Ctrl+P)” video player UI (bottom center). Amateurs. 🤣 See: www.bbc.com/news/live/c1...

Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17

Except that it's not actually particularly uncommon for pathogens to escape a lab. It is a semi-regular occurrence. This is how a virus endemic to a region in Africa came to be named after Marburg, a town in West Germany. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... (I'm not attached to either interpretation)

The dictionary definition surprised me too when I looked it up the other day. I'd have said it meant holding others to a different standard of behavior than yourself. But obviously that's a very closely related concept.
