my commisserations. i severed contacts with a number of people who went the anti-vaccine way and it’s fucking sad.

just in case: i immensely appreciate the random pearls of highly-specific knowledge that sometimes land here as random comments. thank you so much.

yes, but (i’ve corrected my bloody typo above), there are independent confirmations of veracity. so i think it’s fine to complain here, but it would detract from the point outside the sneering area.

it doesn’t mean he’s not inaccurate in that particular piece.

gebru straight up judges the text on the composition of the guests at the unveiling, and declines to read it, this is kremlinology in the worst style.

it is a doctrinal document directed at the catholic faithful, it is useful to actually take it at face value, and criticise it for its own (de)merits.

for the nerds here, said head of the catholic fucking church quotes (correctly!) one gandalf from the works of well known catholic writer named tolkien

it’s just another fash-adjacent subculture

that would be my assumption as well, but i’m sure the business subscriptions have some language that suggests otherwise.

does anthropic sequester the data it gets sent the same way on personal and business plans?

(oh dear, how sad, nevermind)

this is obvious bullshit: theoretically, my writing is affected by two factors that might skew the assessment towards it having been generated by an llm: i’m neurodivergent (adhd) and english is not my native language – and i was never accused of using synthetic text generators…

neuromancer is brilliant prose first and foremost, and yudkowsky not being able to realise this is so very symptomatic

matthew sheffield out there on bluesky reports that dawkins, unsurprisingly, got one-shotted by claude.

i’m still remarkably happy with fedora’s kde on my laptop, but i’m also very content with the current state of wayland (with obvious caveats about use cases and personal idiosyncrasies).

i’m running xfce on a remote ubuntu box at work though, using rdp for connections, and it’s, well, fine. lacks some things i like in full DEs, but it’s perfectly adequate for the job.

(both beat fucking windows 11 when it comes to being usable for me)

the post itself is talking about vapourware too: fortunately none of these features will really land this year in any usable form.

enjoy the yank (and no labelers) :-)

there’s this. (though i find it useful to know who not to rely on if/when things get worse: for example i already know our neighbour from the apartment a floor below did write many missives to our cooperative’s administration, without having a single reason.)

like i said, the actual value of that little exercise is finding people who are fine with killing up to 50% of the population for no reason whatsoever.

they seem to be mostly angry that banks didn’t write their vision of the post-singularity paradise.

and of course there’s absolutely nothing in the books that suggests it’s a problem. (hell, there’s a good chance there actually is a lively japanese folk dance fan community there despite the fact that earth was never a part of the culture.)
