This is for medical research. Saving lives. When I say LLMs are killing people by killing research computing, this is what I mean.

The dumbest take I've ever heard is "but what if I harm them further while doing CPR?"

A person who needs CPR is functionally dead. If they come back to life, a couple of broken ribs is a small price to pay.

Your infrequent reminder that I spent twenty minutes dead a few years ago, and without constant CPR and a correctly-used defibrillator when paramedics arrived I would still be dead.

LEARN CPR. LEARN TO USE A DEFIBRILLATOR.

Yurt glamping company went bust, leaving people out more than £10,000 plus Glastonbury tickets. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czelydedx44o

They took cash only (no credit cards) for yurts that they didn't have, and used that money on company operations. At no point did they buy the Glastonbury tickets that were supposedly part of the package.

I think this is the first time someone can use "scammed by an unscrupulous yurt merchant" since the sweeping changes to international law made by one Genghis Khan.

Seven of the #RPG books I worked on were pirated by #Meta to train their #AI #Bullshit

Regardless as to my feelings on copyright, the IP owner did not consent to their inclusion in the dataset.

Meta's use is fundamentally immoral to the point that my own works will have an exclusion to their existing permissive licences to say "Fuck you and your idiot autocorrect"

See if they've pirated your work here: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/search-libgen-data-set/682094/

How to find Nazis:

(1) Post “Fuck Nazis”

(2) Watch for the “Don't call people you disagree with Nazis!” comments, or those saying it's more complex then that.

(3) You found the Nazi.

It's time I came clean. I have another life, another name, and I'm an ordained Catholic priest.

It's my altar-ego.
