getting the robot to golf my resume PDF into as few bytes as possible
big wall of screenshot text from the LLM coding harness, describing what it stripped out of the PDF, then its explanation that the contents plus embedded font are ~8.5KB and we can't get much smaller without degrading the font, to which i reply

"degrading the font... tell me more 🫦"

afterwards, the bot is Thinking

calvin and hobbes record player meme: looking for a tech job? i'll show you something interesting. the two types of employer are anduril and flock. all tech jobs fall into one of these two categories. microsoft? anduril. netflix? flock. twitter is anduril. facebook is flock. despite its domestic surveillance capabilities, openai is actually anduril

oh cool, the hackers' almanack from def con 33 is out... and seems like they think policymakers should know about our snitch puck research? (i agree, naturally, but the outside validation is nice)

i mentioned my account on one slide at the very end of my 45-minute DEF CON talk and that's also had a few geniuses on the youtube video scrambling to comment about it. particularly enjoy the double-feature "upset by bluesky" and "confused by gender" thread
screenshot of selected youtube comments.
@rayxfinkle8328 says "bluesky says it all"
@arednog says "of course she uses bluesky" and @Trillion_Dollar_Extreme replies "he"
@stevenmcgrew869 says "it surprises me that so many blue sky type of people arein tech. you would think that they would be more logical"
