Nimbus sleeps against my body practically every night and still gets annoyed at me for having the audacity to shift slightly every 10 minutes until I fall asleep. We both know its gonna happen little buddy and you stay anyways ❤️ . #cat

I'll say it again: it's amazing how many Americans who enjoy dystopian science-fiction media are also proving themselves to be 100% on board for signing over most of their cognitive function to technological tools run by sinister, giant corporations.

Is this an apples to apples comparison where the human is given the same prompt as the LLM? Clearly the LLM has been influenced to speak more casually / use slang. Seems fairly meaningless without better context on the setup of this “test”

I can’t decide whether the term “vibe coding” is too cringy or appropriately cringy.

Similarly, why would it be hard to wipe a phone? Factory reset is in settings for every phone I've ever seen. Maybe the issue is migrating the sim.

"Bad Dragon Inflation" in Skyrim

iMessage screenshot.

Sam:
I hated how those guys turned into dragons

Matthew:
Did they? I don’t remember that

Me:
Sam are you an American pop rock band formed in 2008, based in Las Vegas, Nevada?
because i think you imagine dragons
i don’t remember that either haha

iMessage screenshot:

Sam:
Okay I looked it up
I remember the end of the r game you are at their monestary
And a good dragon and a bad dragon show up and have toss
Good dragon wins
But I thought the grey beards could turn into dragons

Michael Vartan:
the only way to fight a bad dragon is with a good dragon
don’t believe me? google “bad dragon inflation”

Google Search/gemini is hallucinating that "chud" is antisemitic. so dumb.

"Chud" can refer to several things, including a derogatory term for a person, a 1984 horror film title, and a film review website.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Derogatory Term:
"Chud" is sometimes used as a derogatory term, particularly in online contexts, often with antisemitic connotations.

I read Tolkien as a kid, and the lesson I got was the biggest heroes were the Hobbits; and that enough power can break anyone but the greatest of us will be tempted the most and would *be* the worst. Others read Tolkien and name their killbot factory after the good guy's sword. You know?

After a long, LONG two weeks of hibernation, the DNC appears to be spamming everyone's inboxes for money again. We are once again calling on you to hand your money instead to people who will use it for good, or even just to buy themself a beer after a rough day.

This is why antivaxxers like RFK are so dangerous. They harm children, and not just with preventable infections. Their entire world view is so bigoted that they dislike their own children for being different. Autism is not a disease and cannot be “cured. Children die when these beliefs are tolerated

It has become increasingly clear that the Neil Gaiman we all knew (whether socially or para-socially) was performance art - a character meant to earn the admiration of his peers and an endless string of victims to abuse. And it's clear the abuse was the whole point. Read with caution - but do read.
