Health is irreplaceable.

I am posting from the city hospital lounge.

What was I lacking, you ask?

Daily exercise. Stretching and working out.

Just from a lack of exercise, when trying to run at full speed, a person can end up falling on their head and getting a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Everyone on the Fediverse, let my seemingly unlucky self be a lesson to you.

Feel free to ask me anything about native Japanese.

Since I'm a native Japanese speaker, I tend to use a lot of casual language, so I can't guarantee my Japanese is grammatically perfect, though.

@Layan2002 @katzenberger @aral Hey Mr. Aral, I really appreciate your team providing me with the opportunity to connect with each individual in Gaza.

Each person has different types of problems, and they must not be treated as one.

Good evening, fedi folks.

The Kumamoto earthquake, magnitude 7.1, happened in Japan, and the evening news is chaotic.

Meow, a peaceful lunch time.

Good morning, fedi folks.

This morning, my weight has not changed.

Narcissistic individuals are more prone to problematic use of generative AI

I have OCD, so I can't stand having unnecessary cookies piling up in my web browser. It drives me crazy.

I'm always clearing my data. I'm a CAD addict!

It's probably common knowledge for people on the Fediverse, but while the left is idealistic, it isn't a "partisan faction."

If you're not on the left, you're just going to end up on the side of evil.

I stand with everyone in the Fediverse.

I love you all.

The combination of Windows 11, Microsoft Teams, and Google Chrome is just way too bloated.

It's a problem that goes beyond Big Tech centralization or privacy concerns.

Rise and shine, Fediverse folks.

Another kilogram gone today!

I ended up installing it on so many devices, so that I'm now in the middle of deleting them one by one.

It's a shame. I'm exhausted.

Privacy is a natural right.

Sigh. I'm exhausted.

Do you guys know about a Firefox and Chrome extension called Bonjourr?

It basically just makes your start page look stylish, like a smartphone's welcome screen. You can also add widgets for bookmarks, the weather, or quotes, and for a little while, it was one of my favorites.

But it betrayed me. My Cloudflare One caught it sending telemetry to doubleclick.net an insane number of times.

Hello.

Yeah. LLMs are definitely useful, no doubt about it. They're powerful tools that let you keep up the appearance of working without ever having to spend the time or mental energy to actually focus on the task.

But here's the thing. The brains of people who have become addicted to LLMs have turned into mush—their intellect has become as soft and fragile as tofu!

AI—specifically LLMs—is a genuine form of technical debt for us.

The survival of AI companies depends entirely on their ability to attract constant investment. Once the bubble bursts, simply switching to paid services or usage-based API pricing won't even come close to making up the difference.

They haven't paid copyright royalties for most of the creative works in their datasets, and as a result, they're stuck dealing with constant "model distillation" attacks from Chinese startups backed by the Chinese government.

After the bubble collapses, AI will become incredibly expensive—so much so that it won't even be comparable to the cost of hiring senior human engineers.

Now that the LLM "trial period" is over, we're being put to the test: can we prove we aren't hooked on it like opium?

Japan has been hit by a string of earthquakes and typhoons one after another.

Good morning, fellow Fedizens.

It's now Sunday in Japan.
