i haven't drawn a person since grade school but this post has given me the courage

[ Removed by Reddit ] being on the frontpage for hours despite being expunged near-instantly is morbidly funny. The absence is speaking louder than the silence

linux 4.5-rc5 had efivarfs fixed to prevent "rm -rf /" bricking uefi motherboards -- so maybe someone can try it out? :]

SQL sanitization joke. Won't affect most databases today.

I thought there was only one impersonation (which was attacked since it didn't have the quotes that the NYT had extracted from their unreleased copy).

About a possibility of a hoax: Klippenstein has a fairly reputable history of uncovering/reporting on leaks, but this situation is essentially a

Ken: Here's the document guys.

Other news websites: Looks like Ken has the document!

AI structure can be pretty obvious if you know which English weapons it loves to spam. Let's walk it through (sorry for the wall of text lmfao):

I skip the image because the chimney mistake and overdone shading is obvious

1. Corporate style.
   • "In these unpredictable and often challenging times" -- This is very corporate. How many messages have you seen like this during the pandemic? Buuut just because it's soulless doesn't mean it's AI, but I wouldn't expect it from a community of this archetype. (ai suspicion +1)
2. Tricolons, especially ascending. (source)
   • This is something ChatGPT loves. Essentially, there are three "things" in a sentence, sometimes clauses. Sometimes each one is larger than the last (ascending), e.g. "I honed my skills in research, collaboration, and problem-solving." And it appears a lot even in this short snippet
   • "...you can step back, breathe, and find some calm amidst the chaos". The third element is longer. Ascension spotted. (ai suspicion +2)
   • "May your days be filled with joy, your systems stay secure, and your kernels remain stable." Elements are successively syllabically longer. Ascension spotted. (ai suspicion +2)
   • "Take the opportunity to reconnect, reflect, and perhaps even find inspiration for the year ahead." Third element is longer. Ascension spotted. How funny -- three tricolons! Three three three three (ai suspicion +2)
3. Obsession with superficial positivity.
   • ChatGPT, even when making stories about evil, is very partial to love, friendship, joy, making up, peace, tranquility, (pseudo) "unconventional" friendship. Excessive meaningless positivity is an archetype too, though ChatGPT's factgivings are usually neutral-positive.
   • "more important than ever to pause and share heartfelt wishes" Share wishes. Would a human on c/linux say something like that without elaborating further about wishing for something, perhaps death to Windows users? (ai suspicion +1)
   • "moment of peace" "find some calm" "positivity" "open-source spirit" but they never talk deeper, again. (ai suspicion +1)

So yeah this is at least 90% OpenAI. Too fuckin' bad.

oddly a duck is the last thing i expected to see

A brave, vulnerably nuanced answer. Suspicious... what are you planning?

The grind culture is such an alluring chopping block. A meat grinder... some people go in, apply for a thousand internships, work three jobs, but not all of them go out. Is it a weak vs. strong separator? Am I weak?

I hope not. I'm just an archer, not a tank, I'd like to think.

I'm sorry your dad still has to work, and about their injuries.

"Duck!"

"Ooh, where--"

Antimetaboles, maybe? It's when you switch two words for poetic effect.

When the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'!

It's fun to sound pseudo-poetic by trying to make one on the fly. Easier than a limerick

In this world, you either have bot aim, or you have aimbot.

Shakespeare was lowbrow too, ok

I forgive 'em cuz watt hours are a disgusting unit in general

Work over time, × time, is just work! kWh are just joules (J) with extra steps! Screw kWh, I will die on this hill!!! Raaah

Goodbye

edit: word

You're correct in that the NYPD said that it was a "handwritten, three-page document" -- I found it odd too -- but, the "document" could've been on one of those mini notebooks, or in large print, or scrawled.

From another perspective -- if the transcription is incomplete, then Klippenstein either (1) omitted text by his own hand, (2) could not acquire the entire document but was unaware that he hadn't, or (3) did not acquire the entire document but withheld his report's weakness of breadth.

I'm not sure Klippenstein's incompleteness is very likely

I don't have talent... but I have a reference image, a mouse with the sens all the way down, and a half-hour to waste.

HUZZAH!
