somewhere out there, there’s a writer who really likes the em dash, the word “delve,” and answering questions with a one-word hyper-chipper affirmative, followed by three sentences of people pleasing. He can’t get a job because he keeps being accused of using AI

Didn’t know it was something readable! I just know it as an episode of Love Death + Robots. It was a standout episode in an otherwise pretty boring first two seasons.

kinda related but wouldn’t it be fun to believe that LLMs were invented by Big Em Dash as a conspiracy

Ok so in arabic it’s exactly how this guy wants it

reminded me of this

Text conversation that keeps happening with coworker:

Coworker: <information dump>

Me: <not reading any of that> what’s the source for that?

Coworker: Oh I got Copilot to summarise these links: <links>, saves me the time of typing

Saw this, was going to post this a literal minute before you did but stared into this abyss a little too long.

Here’s what the abyss revealed:

• Guy is fucking stupid
• Guy is fucking stupid, hence the AI use
• Guy is fucking stupid, AI accidentally his whole database and he is still an AI glazer

Can’t wait to see this guy just use a different but same tool to delete his shit again, and learn nothing

Tangential: I’ve heard that there are 3D printer people that print junk and sell them. This would not be much of a problem if they didn’t pollute the spaces they operate in. The example I’ve heard of is artist alleys at conventions- a 3D printer person will set up a stall and sell plastic models of dragons or pokemon or whatever. Everything is terrible!

What’s your P(that question has been asked at a US three letter agency)

probably on par with the other stuff you might see at a rationalist poly compound

A random thought occurred to me that Veo is probably “better” at being prompted with something like “the scene from X movie but with Y instead of Z” as it is a plagiarism engine first and foremost. I will never investigate this hypothesis, nor will I hold onto it past typing it here.

think of all the rug you could have pulled…

It may be hard to believe but I am not a ‘tech bro’

“If you look closely you might notice I am wearing a fedora, indicating that I am in fact a technology fraternatarian, you peasant.”

Musk objects to the “stochastic parrot” labelling of LLMs. Mostly just the stochastic part.

oh, absolutely. I mean you could sub out “LLM” with any bullshit that management can easily spring on their understaff. Agile, standups, return to office, the list goes on. Management can get fucked

“This study that I didn’t read that has a real methodology for evaluating LLM usefulness instead of just trusting what AI bros say about LLM usefulness is wrong, they should just trust us, bros”, that’s you
