ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: after far too many support messages, finally got someone to realize I know what I'm talking about and should be escalated beyond Tier 1

Update: Teaspoon should be stable and accessible now. It definitely seems like the problem was a bot attack, so I'm leaving Cloudflare's Under Attack Mode on for a while.

A 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.

A Teaspoon And An Open Mind (whofic.com) update: We're having intermittent database access issues. A reboot will probably fix it; just waiting for hosting provider to do this.

I feel like the number of times I as a person should have to think about the words "DMARC," "DKIM," and "SPF" should be zero, but again today is not going to be that day

anyway, today I got hilarious AI spam from someone saying they "help under‑discovered YA authors build the kind of visibility that lasts not through hype, but through trusted reader communities," who wants to talk about the book spouse & I co-wrote the book is a nonfiction design/programming book

In my continuing effort to figure out what to do with the cape gooseberries we get from the CSA, I made a tiny pound cake & have turned that, the gooseberries, a bit of marmalade, and some leftover heavy cream/mascarpone into a trifle. If all else fails, pound cake & whipped cream is always a winner

1Password now fully expunged from my Mac. I have to hand it to them: their uninstall instructions were extremely clear. Sadly, so is their commitment to funding white supremacy.

Five days of contractors in the house this week. Even Noir, who has been extremely chill, has started yelling at me about people moving her couch while she's on it. Feeling amazed I've billed a whole hour today.

Can't wait for the Boston Globe's next big article: Suburban junior high D&D group falls apart in 1986 because one member bought the Clash's first album and declared 'Rush kinda sucks' and 'it should not take 45 min to resolve a combat between two goblins and a 7th lvl party.' Blows were exchanged.

Want to add that they didn't snip off okra PODS, the part you eat. There is no mistaking the pods for the leaves, and you can cut the pods off without ever touching the leaves. Nor were they bitten off by any of our local garden-loving animals. Some fools gonna be very sad

Okra plants suddenly missing a number of branches that have clearly been snipped off. The only explanation I can come up with is that someone has mistaken it for marijuana, in which case I wish them the best of luck getting high with whatever leaves they dry

On the one hand, HVAC contractors unexpectedly not coming today means that I have quiet time on my busiest work day this week, and the cat won't be traumatized by noise. On the other: still got up an hour early (& spouse 2 hours early), am exhausted, and it's not even 8am 🙃

I say again, any "pause/pacing/contemplative silence where AI CEOs think about what they've done and promise to be very good boys from now on" that doesn't result in ACTUAL enforcement mechanisms to hold them Several-Hundred-Billion-Dollars accountable any time their product fucks up is nigh useless

Screenshot of posts from me:

Chris, they trained a system to hack & got scared when it hacked. This is on human beings not being able to logically think through what they've built & what they then trained & told it to do; they'll never "solve alignment," because they can't get what human values they're trying to "align" "Al" To.

Hold the HUMANS accountable for what their systems do. The humans' companies and individual humans themselves.
