Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 2hI think (separate from the LLM debate) it’s super funny that a human being’s explanation of how they came to conclusion is completely unreliable, in fact more likely than not incorrect. We have maybe less insight into our internal processes than ChatGPT (since ChatGPT has at least read the manual) 100

Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 4hI tried with that book but became increasingly irate that it existed at all. Once I got to three straight pages of “Achievement Unlocked”, each with a snarky sentence that felt like it came from an Xbox in 2010, I could proceed no longer 150
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 8hShe surely has other very bad opinions but it hasn’t impacted her yet 050
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 8hIt’s because they realized they want to do the exact same things, but this time America will love it since it was just the Gaza stuff that was the issue 0291
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 22hI have seen a stuck Waymo and it was kind of charming? Also, it never got mad or started driving erratically in response to its predicament 220
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 22hIt also stresses me out if people are determined to learn no lessons about how his agenda crashed and burned, and Americans DO crave deliverism as long as this dumb bad old man isn’t at the helm of it (though whatever we talk about here doesn’t matter too much I guess, still I stress) 0172
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 22hsorry for my wrongly placed reply, I hope you and your family are doing okay <3 160
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 22hThey actually IME tend towards weasel wordy references to “his health, which Democrats covered up” which practically could mean anything, but they don’t specify the dementia thing because it is absurd at this point! But if there is no dementia there was nothing to cover up, we all knew he was old 1452
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 22hMy eye doctor has very negative things to say about this but most doctors seem to expect it 140
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 22hI did this until I was like 30, it did not even occur to me to live any different 140
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hI know the solution is to log off but, counterpoint, I will never log off 0130
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hI don’t want to belittle what they’re going through, which is clearly severe no matter how mild the condition, but like, it’s not good for all of us to be in a miasma of this kind of thing all day every day 190
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hSo I google them and find like, so many Internet posts of people going “MY LIFE IS FUCKING OVER. I NEED TO FIX THIS. I CAN’T LIVE LIKE THIS. WHY IS THERE NO CURE” 2120
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hThere are a few things about my body (sensitive eyes, itchy nose, dots on my leg skin) that I have just kind of assumed are part of being human (I mean, it’s still true), but it turns out they are various named health conditions 3160
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hI bet Twitter does something weird with what it allows the search engines to scrape 190
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hAnd it’s more to do with her age than her ideology in this case, I think 010
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hme? I long ago him off for the exact same crime, getting weirdly nasty and personal to people in his mentions who I don’t think deserved it! 150
Reposted by BrittanyJoyousPanther @joyouspanther.bsky.social · 23hBatman was a fine movie but its politics were a bit iffy. wouldve been way better if at the end Batman turned to the camera & said "i am fascist now" & then specified hes the exact kind of fascist I hate 191
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hI don’t think this behavior IS emboldened though, it is more like overly defensive. If you were really confident you’d be just like “heh, we’ll see in November!” and not get upset a suspected doubter is in your midst I am pretty on board with hype! But nervous hype, idk, seems fragile 120
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hI tentatively agree but the swing makes me feel like I can’t trust it though. There are bad times ahead and the election itself it likely to be a bit scary! 120
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hI am feeling pretty good about November tbc but that’s actually why I don’t need to overreact like this 090
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hIf you freak out at everybody not as wildly optimistic as you I don’t understand how you’re going to get through the next two years when the Democratic majority’s powers will really be hampered by *gestures at everything* 2130
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 23hI also again don’t like how anybody who is a little wary of the polls right now get this “you fucking pathetic doomer, you weak willed mewling kitten, don’t you understand we’re going to absolutely destroy the Republicans in November?!?!?!” response 3140
Reposted by Brittanyrobert j bennett, ceo, results omega @robertjbennett.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I react very poorly when any proposed policy or plan is met with "but what if someone like Trump gets hold of it?? then it would be not good, but very bad" because there really is no law or institution that can work when a population is willing to elect the stupidest, worst asshole alive 1674975
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026maybe I am just biased though since he and I are the same age and come from the same culture (defined as sort of trashy middle class white Americans), could easily have hung out as young people, it’s hard to imagine any of the dudes I knew back then that looked just like this being scary at all!!! 130
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026i sometimes think i ought to be afraid of him since he has certainly climbed far and from not much (his backstory exaggerations aside, he still does not come from mega riches or anything) but it’s impossible when seeing stuff like this 140
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026The most contemporary version of this I can think of is maybe Rory Gilmore’s grandparents and that’s not a very recent show 080
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026Another theory that just came to me is that maybe the uptight, WASPy American aristocrat who feels very obligated to his community is a character type that is fading from popular consciousness 2191
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026I feel like I’m not the only DC ignorant person out there because the Marvel discussions on here are a lot more rooted in canon. Like “was Magneto really the bad guy” is a repeat offender discussion too but everybody in it is clearly more familiar with who Magneto is and things he’s done 2131
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026“Imagine a Batman villain who reduced the supply of villains in Gotham! Bruce would be so mad” literally what are you talking about!!! 2201
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026I am “meh” on Bruce Wayne as a character but he’s not Rorschach 190
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026I know almost nothing about DC comics at all but even I know that Batman is not some kind of maniac who lives for the love of finding criminals in alleys and beating them to a fine pulp 1230
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026It’s necessary, IMO. Even if we had a perfect political system, which is probably not possible, bad things would keep happening to us and other people (car accidents, diseases, natural disasters, bad luck in various forms, etc) 010
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026It is also not my experience that the person who self-describes simply too empathetic about the state of the world to ever be happy is particularly empathetic to the people they know and care about, because they are too focused on their inner state (which frequently seems to be wracked with anxiety) 0144
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026Disastrous for you personally and also pretty disastrous for your political project if it requires signing up for permanent, performative misery 1171
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026This mindset also makes, pretty much explicitly, *being happy* evidence of a character flaw, this is bad! 3283
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026right, like, whomst among us Bluesky posters are not intimately familiar with that specific “woah man nothing feels real” sensation 0770
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026that account is gonna have to change the display name at a certain point 01655
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026it is true we have terrible governance at the moment but this doesn’t mean everything in the world is fake and about to come crashing down. most jobs, fortunately or unfortunately, still need doing 420310
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026I don’t think it would be good at picking a specific size for any person but I’m not sure that’s the role of an LLM here, it would be more for outfit ideas or combinations that work or flattering colors or whatever. It probably could scan reviews for “runs large” or “runs small” pretty well though 010
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026I feel like it would have to be part of the weights to count as a full conversion 180
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026Today is the youngest Bluesky’s user base will ever be (unfortunately, probably true) 0130
Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 29/09/2026This is an app for 41 year olds, and it’s going up all the time!! 1180
