It is apparently stressfully windy.
In my experience, if it is important and/or they need someone to represent them they should not send me.

An "Ethical" reskin of ChatGPT somehow overseen by a "professor" in Ethical AI with an unrelated degree who teaches at an unaccredited higher learning institute wrapped in a shoddy 3D Printed piece of one of Warhammer's more well known intellectual properties?
God damn dude.
When I was little my Dad would hang dead birds near crops as a deterrent. I'm not sure why I just remembered this as I read through the various bsky/reddit threads about this and see every bit of Mr Midwinter's other past misdeeds being laid out over and over.
Screenshot of a post by "Arj (is covered in a thick ink)". Text reads: "I designed a visual language that Al can't decipher, but human beings understand intuitively! Let me know in the replies what word you think you're seeing, and I'll tell you if you're right!" Below the text is an image, mostly white, with a bunch of odd lines and triangles in a something that almost looks like a pattern.
Three replies to Arj (from the first image). Lil Lilly: Watermelon! Arj: Nailed it! Mr. Joseph: can't ssee a word but I can taste watermelon Arj: Sounds like you got there in the end! We Rate Fruits: We know a 10/10 watermelon when we see one! Arj: Oh wow, I'm a huge fan! Give my love to all the other fruits who didn't make the cut!
A longer thread between Arj and someone named Dan Gissing: Dan: Happy to accept that we shouldn’t have done this, but we have a bunch of LLM-to-human neural mesh test subjects here in the lab and they started screaming in pain when we showed them this image. Arj: please tell me you’re kidding. are the people okay? Dan: The test subjects have been dealt with. We’d love to invite you to our offices, perhaps you could walk our researchers through your process. Where are you? We can send a car, or plane, whatever. Arj: ???? did you kill those people?? I’m not telling you anything about where I live you corpo psycho Dan: No worries, one of the survivors worked out your address from your selfies. Chopper is on the way. Sit tight.
A photo of an iPhone showing an empty twitter profile page for Arj. It's like he's been wiped off the app and all that remains is his name and a white screen.
I can't be the only one who finds this all really bizarre
My dude, it is okay to not admit to this.
If you include the time taken to learn "prompt engineering" he spent about an hour deleting family photos.
He arranged the tryst on Christmas morning and the rabbit died of a heart attack shortly afterwards.

This is the same Irish politician who brought in a law designed to make it easier to deport children
Less than 4 days ago, this same Minister said that child protection and online safety are more important than Irish citizens' human rights. Now he's saying, "Child Sexual Abuse Material what are you going to do, amrite?"
You know, I was just reaching a point where I thought maybe I was okay, that I was done with therapy but kudos on the international news cycle for keeping my shrink employed.

Oh once I get done with work and preparing for Brid's next craft stall I'll get around to a whole load of pictures of the dumb shit I've been making.
It's my last day of work tomorrow. I've already checked out mentally and spiritually so fucking around with weird craft shit at this hour is just adhering to a schedule.

Small cotton pom poms dyed black. The core of the pom is black but the outer fibers are white.
Yes, I'm dying tiny cotton pom poms black at 1:30 in the morning because I have amazing ideas.
How unbelievably dare you.
What would be nice is if I was less aware of my blood pumping through my brain. Who would opt for this feature?
All well and good but I've got a lot of partridges, packing tape and pear saplings arriving in 10-15 working days and they have to go *somewhere*
Someone somewhere upwind from me in clondalkin is burning some nasty shit all day and entirely coincidentally I'm sure I have a headache and sore throat now.

Or maybe men my age regularly buy boxer shorts and remote control light bulbs together a statistically significant amount of times.
It might have to be. It's not like I'm secret service or anything but I'd rather my phone not be sending me suggestions related to sensitive stuff discussed around me.
Maybe men of a certain age and algorithmic dataset start being interested in kayaking around the month of the conversation but mood lightbulbs after a conversation about mood lighting and lightbulbs? I call shenanigans.
This is the most egregious example I've encountered since the time I was reminiscing about kayaking around a little man-made lake in Nottingham with my uncle and I suddenly started getting (google I think) adverts for Kayaks a few days later and I could maybe explain that away coincidence
Though it doesn't seem to have picked up on my "Yeah well I'm going for a shower and I'm not in the mood to slip and die" mood
I can fairly confidently insist that didn't happen since her response when I told her the bathroom light was being weird was "Yeah I kind of like it, it's like mood lighting" which is slightly more damning given how the suggestions are all "pick a colour and tone"
