There is an anecdote that I can’t currently find, nor am I certain I have the author and story right.

But there was a person who picked up Fifty Shades of Grey while his wife was reading it and claimed he could write better in spite of not being an author; I think they were a programmer. Anyway she challenged hisband Dennis E. Taylor who then wrote the Bobiverse.

So… maybe you just need that first one to really get going.

First I’m finding out a ligature exists. Awesome.

Wait! What? That’s actually a big bummer. It Feels so _Good Bad.

And also this asshole.

Truffle Shuffle 🤮

MUD’s are poised to make a comeback.

As an aside, how is your thumbnail animated? First I’ve seen that.

FWIW, Anthropic’s models do much better here and point out how problematic demographic assessment like this is and provide an answer without those. One of many indications that Anthropic has a much higher focus on safety and alignment than OpenAI. Not exactly superstars, but much better.

… fine I’ll do it.

That begs the question, how is it used properly?

This is a thing up with which I will not put.

They should have used all caps. Then it would have listened. Oh wait…

Watch Jeremiah if you haven’t. It was a great concept and he was great in it.

It really doesn’t. They are not owned. They accept contracts of their own volition and are represented by unions. Are slaves represented by unions? This is just silly.

Pretty simple. When you don’t have a choice in the terms of your agreement. Then, in addition, it is legal to beat the shit out of you for any reason, and in some cases kill a person under such conditions. All protected by law, in many cases with no contract termination. And throughout the remainder of your life, you’ll work tirelessly and thanklessly; all while owning no property or possessing any rights your own.

If you think your analogy holds up, fine. I just think it is hyperbole of the highest order.

I agree about tax funded stadiums, but slavery…? Come on. I’m sure slaves would definitely see playing a sport for notoriety and millions of dollars as basically the same as indentured servitude.

iOS does make corrections in previous text given additional context. Like change “your” to “you’re”, for example. It still fails miserably on contractions in the most vexing way, but sometimes it is pretty good. And the key detection by changing the hitbox is really quite good, even when using a multilingual keyboard.

I suppose it was for those in that circle.

AZ-5 switches.

Peacock is NBC / Comcast. Colbert was on CBS / Paramount.

6k km almost precisely. Different continent. This will be my home.
