I don't know who in the DCCC needs to hear this, but learning a Republican supports a Democratic candidate makes me support them less, not more.

You'd think Harris trotting out Liz Cheney and losing would get the message across, but magically donor money makes that lesson go poof.

Fire in the Sky. Way too young for the honey scene.

Don't volunteer to kill and die for a county that actively, openly hates you.

Letterboxd, and to an extent Goodreads.

I just spent a solid chunk of time importing and correcting various accounts to NeoDB and Bookwyrm and they are both petty frustrating to use, especially with how much content is missing, mislabeled, or duplicated. Plus, they don't seem to federate with each other (understandable, in so far as very few parts of the Fediverse actually federate well together [unlike, perhaps, Mastodon and mbin]) or even support exporting/importing data from each other.

What's scary to me is that Hank Green is a rationale, intelligent person with time, money, resources, etc. Everything someone could want to be successful at their passion. And in this case, the passion is literally explaining science. If his own family has to have an intervention on his AI use (which it seems like they did?) after he denied reciting AI prompts on video despite being caught red-handed (which it seems like he did?) what chance do normie script kiddy vibe coders have? Is this the future? Addicts with rotting brains and AI psychosis leading the planet to destruction?

The allure of outsourcing your mental load to a chat bot designed to tell you exactly what you want to hear is too much. Everyone's getting high off their own supply.

Every Linus AI headline for the last year: "AI is the future, adapt or die, if you hate AI leave Linux."

Every actual Linus quotation from those articles: "AI can be a powerful tool in the hands of experienced human programmers that are still responsible for every line of code they push."

Not having a conversation with my supervisor for months at a time is literally the dream.

There can't be many examples in history of an empire being cucked by it's own client state, but here we are.

Kobo has it's own ebook store, plus it connects with Overdrive (outdated version of Libby) to handle library checkouts.

Kobo is also really easy to sideload books on to, so you can, you know, just get them from wherever...

Without a warrant, it's literally his phone to do with it what he pleases. Baffled that that's not the end of the conversation.

Assuming we lived in a rational world with a fair and impartial justice system, and not one that exists to funnel money from the working class into the Epstein class and kill or imprison everyone that makes that less easy.

No country has a right to exist. People have rights. States have responsibilities.

If slop coding is so great why is everyone so adamant about hiding it from users?

If you're not willing to disclose something, maybe take that as a hint.

Steam, too. It was originally unpopular DRM for Half-Life 2. It had a broken offline mode that could only be selected when already online. It had no meaningful customer service and people permanently lost their accounts with no avenue for appeal (and probably no human even involved).

Somewhere in the past year an LLM became my thinking partner, and I say that without embarrassment.

You're good, I have enough secondhand embarrassment for the both of us.

Signing up to kill and die for a country that actively, openly hates you was certainly a choice.

Are cheating and plagiarism no longer grounds for immediate expulsion...?

Respectfully, I don't really understand this opinion. Reading between the lines, he read a Chat-GPT prompt on video, denied it despite it being on video, seemingly leading to his wife and brother holding an intervention on his behalf which ultimately lead to this 'confession.'

Swap AI for any other behavior or substance, and we'd be calling him an addict in need of treatment. An addict's opinion on the validity of their addiction is useless. Hank Green of all people not being able to have a healthy relationship with chatbots is alarming and this is more proof to me that we need even more grains of salt when AI users assure us that AI is great.

Wild that people just casually admit to outsourcing their thinking to a machine. I'd never willing post something that embarrassing. Butlerian Jihad Now.

It's so bad. I keep searching topics on YouTube and getting 3-4 results before YouTube starts recommending videos based on past searches or past watched videos. Like, excuse me YouTube, what the fuck? You search what I tell you to search.

I thought we elected a communist? Why are the petite bourgeoisie cheering? 👺 /hj
