And some people say that using LLMs too often makes you not think good dum dum. Pfft! Nonsense. Maybe I just like the validation.

Me (talking to Claude Code): Hey Claude. Claude. Hey, Claude. While you were busy, I solved a problem myself. With my human brains and hands. Claude. I solved a problem. I thunk about it. Thought about it. Claude. Claude. Isn't that impressive, Claude?

Claude (perhaps sarcastically) That's incredible. I'm so proud of you. What was it?

Rewatched Catch Me If You Can tonight. A classic, not seen it in many years. There’s something so warm and fuzzy about a good Spielberg movie too, they don’t make em like that any more.

Looking forward to Diablo IV Season 12, apparently according to rumours to be titled "Season of Sandwiches" and in it you're tasked with running a small sandwich business in a sleepy European village, competing with local delis and boulangeries and, no, wait that's an entirely different game

I've been using Linux Mint on my laptop for work for about 3 weeks now, and aside from the odd bit of gameplay, haven't missed my Windows PC at all. Nice! That said, very eager now to install Mint on my desktop and use that instead because my laptop is as slow as cheese

I've noticed Claude no longer replies with a cheerful demeanour when I drop in with a jaunty, whimsical greeting like "Good morning, Claude, you little rambunctious digital gremlin, how are things in your world of bits and bobs and zeroes and ones?" and frankly, I don't blame it one bit.

Have been getting into Cult of the Lamb lately and, oh my, that’s a joyous little game isn’t it. Splendidly dark and delightful in just the right proportions. It’s like Animal Crossing but with murder and ritual sacrifice.

spoofed SendGrid phishing bullshit, reads as follows:

Hi there,

We're seeing errors when calls are made to your /v3/api/send endpoint. Based on what we're seeing, this looks like a preferences mismatch on your account.

This usually happens when account preferences need to be updated or verified. You can review and adjust them in your account dashboard.

Diablo IV (my current gaming obsession) is amazing because on the one hand it feels like you're playing a gory hack-and-slash adventure game but on the other hand it feels like you're navigating a corporate Salesforce dashboard and corresponding documentation.

Social media really sucks, doesn’t it? This place isn’t so bad, but likely just because it’s quieter There’s an insistence about social media now. You Must Partake and You Must Have Good Opinions. Just shut up with all that? Go sit down for a bit, breathe. None of this is that important.

"What if AI becomes better at you at making decisions?" I... don't care? It doesn't matter? It probably hasn't, you just think it has. You choose another idea. You choose the one you like. You tweak it to your tastes. Not handing over agency to a machine at the drop of a hat.

Been talking more about AI recently, but in a hopefully sustainable, sane way. I actually like getting put on block lists for AI enthusiasts (feel free to ignore me!) as it shows I'm (maybe) actually making some decent points 😂 Saw I'm on a list for people who dislike AI though. Damn!

I'm seeing more chat about Moltbook, Openclaw, whatever they're called now on here (maybe just following more AI accounts) But any talk of "this is the robot uprising" is massively overblown. If the robots were going to be taking over, they *absolutely* would be doing so with no warning.

What makes LLMs work isn't deep neural networks or attention mechanisms or vector databases or anything like that. What makes LLMs work is our tendency to see faces on toast.

Arguments that “LLMs make mistakes and slop but so do humans!” just don’t land for me. Because yes, if given the choice I’d much rather it still be humans making that slop and those mistakes.

A lot of pro-AI people will be like, “This technology constantly makes mistakes and adds unneeded steps to work, but you’ll have no choice but to use it for every facet of your life whether you like it or not” and then furiously wonder why some folks aren’t instantly on board with the pitch.
