"How would you describe the problem you're having with your computer?"

"It looks like a wave."

Bah, I knew I'd read this headline soon.

Take a people from their land, shove them into an inhospitable place, and break every treaty you've ever made with them.

THEN in _your_ hour of need ask them to keep your secrets while risking their lives for a nation that derides them. THEY answer the call in _honor_ and we betray their memory.

I don't know where to put my rage.

... So... Many... Things... To... Google...

@log

Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy not being tangled in wires (because I _always_ was) but I would've appreciated the choice.

@baldur

I don't think the urge is going to go away.

Sloan has not only drank the Kool-Aid, he's mixed it himself.

The 'black-box' mystique that is continually raised around LLMs is weird and smacks of: "We don't understand it, so it must be profound!"

It's not profound. The only profundity is how we're responding to it as a culture. LLMs as AI is snake oil. It always has been.

Anyway, good luck not responding. 🤗

Gross, Drupal!

It's like tech business FOMO. It's disgusting. Who seriously believes their product will have a reduced adoption rate without "AI"?

@quinn

Well, TIL about the Peace of Westphalia.

@artemis

Seriously, I... I read the dictionary for _fun_ as a kid. I know that's not normal but I don't need robots bullying me for it.

Also, using a bot to determine if a bot wrote something is definitely a second layer of stupid.

"Well, the machine said it was written by a machine. Who else would know so well what a machine wrote than a machine? Hmm?"

The most reasonable response I can come up with to any of this is to burn it down. Just... Burn it down.

@paninid

Some variation of this is my prediction for the planet. No humans left, or at least not ones that can understand any of the machinery that continues to beep and boop, just machines chattering back and forth at each other without context.

Incoming messages from your hairstylists automated scheduling system that communicates with your automated response system that checks with your automated scheduling system if you're available for an appointment on February 31st (because dates are hard) that checks if your heart rate monitoring system has reported a heartbeat in the last three days.

...

Burn it all down. It'd be better for everyone.

@patrickcmiller

... Are you saying we can get $10 million dollars by making the State Department aware of the GOP?
