one very cool thing about the current AI wave is that they've made CLIs cool again

i have very little bad feelings about LLM themselves. but encountering groupchat-itis sufferers, cultists, and other people in a now very much overlapping groupset activates a fight or flight instinct

the TL was consumed with bad vibes...AI, Talarico, Iran, the Kennedy Center.....and, in our era of peril, a messy Colorado representative that lives for the drama came to our rescue

"cognitive decoupling" was essentially a trick to convince you to ignore something you literally provide LLMs to make them work: context

person ranting in the middle of the street: "you can't call a female-presenting AI 'her', you have to use 'it'!" *no one gives a shit* person, ranting louder: "YOU CAN'T DO IT! THERE SHOULD BE A LAW! A LAW!" *no one still gives a shit*

it feels to me like scifi trope of banning AI or having a Turing Police is kind of like Earth having a world government: largely narrative convenience

short form video stuff on youtube is pitching me cartoon dramas about a football player's forbidden love for a goth chick what is this, 1993? probably a sign that a non-american is generating the AI content

once you get used to generating Claudelish documentation for yourself, you see LLM-generated writing everywhere

i'm much more accepting of instrumental generated AI music than vocal. years of listening to electronic music have inured me to the notion that machine-generated music is bad. but when i hear a machine imitation of a human voice that doesn't sound obviously mechanical, i say "get behind thee satan"
