_Big Walk_ may be the best game I’ve played this year or last year, or maybe since _The Outer Wilds_. What an absolutely heart-warming, delightful experience!

So listen. If I ask for a code sent to my phone for 2FA, do you know what never want right after that? An additional, separate code sent to my email for a further verification. Just stop with that! Le stop.

You know what I love? When you’re checking out your online order and both “ship to store” and “ship to home” say “by tomorrow. And so you pick “ship to home” because easier, right? And then you order. And now it says “estimated delivery: Monday.” Excuse me? *uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh*

LLM's provide a simulacrum of what it looks like to "know" something. ChatGPT can not "know," only humans can "know." And "knowing" is a mysterious, precious, unfolding thing...and it used to be the reason why many people went to college, because they wanted to experience "knowing" new things.

This thread perfectly explains why AI has little value for qualitative research. Yes, large language models can find patterns in qualitative data. But, they're trained on what we already know. So, they won't find anything surprising. And, surprise is qualitative research's primary value-add.

The surrender caucus secured yes votes from Democrats who aren't facing re-election this cycle, but four of them have Democratic governors who can pick their replacement. If you live in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maine or Virginia this is an easy and effective way to make your anger clear.

Really important advice. And if you insist on posting these things or keeping them up after you've been informed they're fake, that's going to be a quick block. "Well, it could be true!" It's not. "Well, you can imagine." Nope. "Well, they do it!" Yeah, no.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

So seldom is there a story about Musk that bothers to mention the fact that DOGE is an fake agency, it has no legitimate claim to power, and thus it has no real head, every act it undertakes is automatically illegal and corrupt, and all of its "employees" are criminals.

Apparently a lot of people need to hear this, but: Elon Musk doesn’t actually have any power or authority. You don’t have to let him in the building. You don’t have to do anything he says. If he says, “well we’re going to [insert terrible, idiotic idea],” you can just say, “no, we’re not.”

Listen. Just because somebody says to do a thing, you don’t actually have to do it. And if they ultimately make you do it, you can do it however you want. Let a toddler inspire you. Make your compliance as petty and malicious as possible. You can do that. Just, you know, in case you were wondering.
