Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Venison chops marinating for dinner tonight! I'm using the marinated venison chop recipe from the New Better Homes And Gardens Cookbook (1996). Marinade ingredients in the alt text. 🍜🍽️

Venison marinated in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, dry mustard, oil, cider vinegar and salt/pepper. I added 2 teaspoons of dark mushroom soy sauce to give the marinade a little more depth.

And, as I said at the start, none of this addresses the very real harms that LLMs have already wrought, and will continue to do so. We cannot let vague concerns about AI safety escape from what this industry has done and will continue to do. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-alread...

There are, however, things we can do, per former FTC Chair Lina Khan, if we actually had any interest in doing so:

There is an extensive set of laws that govern dangerous and defective products. For example, releasing unvetted AI models or agents can violate consumer protection laws. Shipping flawed AI tools without implementing adequate measures to detect and stop rogue or defective AI agents can be an “unfair or deceptive” act or practice under the FTC Act (and analogous state laws). And some state AGs are already exploring holding AI firms and their CEOs criminally liable when their models participate in criminal activity.
If LLMs were a toy, they’d be taken off the shelves. If LLMs were a drug, they would be banned.

I agree that we need to take “AI safely” seriously, but that starts with treating LLMs as normal software run in a reckless and dangerous manner by malevolent entities with little regard for society.

Sitting at the bar of my local Italian red sauce place. I ordered a Caesar salad with shrimp and steak tips, which inspired a regular two seats down to get the same. Guy directly to my right announced he had a White Claw for breakfast. I want this town to never change.

I realize a lot of this is very very lonely people trying to make a friend, but it's not good for your mental health. And learning how to draw or use Photoshop or a 3D modeler isn't that difficult and you'd be adding a new skillset to your life. Don't be a sad, lazy shit.

Potatoes were introduced to Europe in the 16th century, which means that if Lord of the Rings is taken in its intended role as a mythological history thereof, they did not have potatoes at the time. So whatever was boiled, mashed, or stuck in a stew, it was not what we call a potato. In this essay
