Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I speak out against AI and actively avoid it in my personal life BECAUSE I have used it, and I have seen the damage it causes and I'm aware of the dangers it presents. 020
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think you are blinded to what's happening around you; this behavior is proliferating through our society and the tech giants will do nothing to stop it. The brand of LLM has nothing to do with it, they all have the same impact. 120
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Literally right now. I am watching coworkers become dependent on this shit while it eats away at their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Some of them can't reply to an email without feeding it to Copilot first. 140
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I work in IT for a company that is HEAVILY invested in making "AI" work and encouraging every employee to use it for every task they can imagine. I can assure you, from firsthand experience, that LLMs are garbage and this industry cannot die quickly enough. 1190
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 19/08/2026In addition to tearing up golf courses, they are also great at disposing of Halloween pumpkins. 020
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 25/05/2026It's using "AI"-generated images. LLMs are built on theft, they are environmentally destructive, and the people who use them willingly are creatively and morally bankrupt. Using it as a form of satire makes them just as pathetic as their target. 050
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 25/05/2026This was a fun account to follow. A shame it's devolved into this garbage. 140
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 02/04/2026I got an insane deal on a '23 Polestar 2 about three months ago and it is a joy to drive. People really need to jump on these while they can. 120
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 04/02/2026The solution to secret police is not to give the secret police more equipment, it's to GET RID OF THE FUCKING SECRET POLICE. Abolish ICE. Retire and let someone useful have your job. 000
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Hm, you might be correct. Hopefully it gets implemented as a standard feature at some point. 240
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Thank you! I was in a rush out the door but wanted to get the info out ASAP 110
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Not exactly the same as what you're asking, but Android has a feature that can automatically record up to 45 minutes of footage, and automatically share with your emergency contacts. Triggered by pressing the power button 5 times. Located under Safety & Emergency settings. 5458189
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 16/01/2026This is the game that taught me to read the system requirements. I was so excited I was able to convince my parents to buy this for me, only to be foiled by a 2x CD-ROM drive that was too slow to stream the FMV. Eventually we upgraded and I was able to play (and discover that I sucked at it!) 210
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 06/01/2026I misread this as "Steam Deck". The reality is way less interesting. 010
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Reminds me of this beauty I saw at a Kroger over a decade ago. 000
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Did you ask ChatGPT to define it for you? Because that's not what the dictionary says. 110
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 25/07/2025I mean if you're just making up your own definitions of words then you can say whatever you want, but that's not what "novel" means. 110
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 25/07/2025You claimed it can solve novel problems. LLMs cannot do that. Just because it can list out the steps it is taking to reach an answer does not mean it is "reasoning". 120

Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 11/07/2025You're mad that the fascists didn't let you play Fascism with them? Am I understanding you correctly? Maybe you just need to change that D to an R, I'm sure they'll let you into their little club. 000
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Not getting a cent from me until they cancel that $16mil check. 010
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Someday we'll have a platform where the AI and Crypto Bros can't follow us. But I fear that they, or whatever they evolve into, will persist until the heat death of the universe. 130

Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 09/06/2025Maybe your opinions on these topics are bad and you should feel bad. Or maybe we think billionaires are bad and shouldn't exist. Whomst can say? 000
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 30/04/2025I've had to develop the habit of pasting the password generated by Keeper into Notepad so I can make SURE it saved correctly. Then Microsoft added Copilot to Notepad and now I can't trust anything at this point. 060
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 30/04/2025This might be the dumbest statement I've read all day, and that's a high bar to clear in the moment. Just breathtakingly stupid. 000
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 29/04/2025And I was just thinking of picking up Spanish again... Reinstalled and signed back in, just so I could delete my account. Take your AI slop and stick it where the sun don't shine, pendejo. 0280

Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Credit unions exist, are cheap, and often offer better rates than banks. But you can't personally extract wealth from them so of course you won't mention them. You absolute knob. 000
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 25/02/2025HOW? WHAT are you doing? Explain, with details. Your words are emptier than Trump and Elon's brainpans, combined. 020
Idiom McCloy @vale05.bsky.social · 22/02/2025This wireless charging adapter is neat; I no longer have to keep a micro USB cable on-hand, and it even works through the case I've been using since I bought the Kindle over a decade ago. 000
