an interesting thought experiment which my thoughts are now experimenting with in interesting ways - ill straight it out for a bit but im gonna be gayer afterwards to compensate
i dont know why but i think im gonna like the effects
i think im gonna look
its very funny that the entire LLM hype model is based on the hope that they can dupe you by using language that they hope you can't effectively parse fast enough.
like, if someone can't describe the mechanisms of consciousness well enough I'm supposed to say an autocorrect is alive? goofy ass
Remember when I said that laws aren't real because they won't be enforced on people in power, they can't be enforced on them, and they don't defend you?
Well anyway, I wasn't being hyperbolic, I mean literally they don't functionally exist right now.
in other words: relate new concepts to something they know - then detail the difference.
one of the biggest problems in getting anyone to understand anything technical is the fact that jargon *compounds* - individual New Words are fine, but enough New Words in a row, in the same sentence, in the same paragraph, and you're shaving off potential understanding.
analogy and imagery help.
i regret falling off on blogging every day on my website. im gonna try blogging there more nickyflowers.com
i remember when i was criticizing the ability for moderation actions on the Relay level and they assured me that wasn't how they moderated - until it was.
seriously though everything about the way bsky has handled moderation and criticism thereof is the number one thing about this website that makes me hesitant to use it to any great degree.
bros made a moderation system that fails if someone blocks the moderation account and are talking about blocking that account as users "entrapping themselves" - all the while all of their docs talk about the Power of Decentralized-Composable Moderation
oof sorry to hear about your drive - i wish you luck in getting another one. the market is Not Great
the most accurate part of Death Stranding is having people cry every time they Log On

I assume you could boil some factors down - ease of access (to weapons, to victims), perceived threat level (of the same sleight across different situations), level of judgment from peers, access to social environments deemed grounding or cathartic
uruk-hai moment
instead they all just get pretty adept at sniffing out their next paycheck lol
revealing thing about all the people who are now "very sorry" that they didn't realize this was fascism beforehand is that they never go "and because of these missteps i'm going to take a back seat for a while and try to let those who better understood what was happening take the stage"
its always "you leave no room for debate" said by people who are just as steadfast and stubborn about their beliefs as the people they are disagreeing with and yet their own stubbornness is never a sign that *they* are the ones leaving no room for debate
I shouldve taken a picture before I cut the top off but
yesterday I bought a carrot so large the cashier asked what vegetable it was
im old sue me
"He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" and I said, "zines."
And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and gave me the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, 'til I said, "And creating a nuisance," and they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench
you're all stuck in a hell of your own making - you can leave. you just have to walk away.
go outside. make friends with your neighbors. make friends with strangers. be kind and be willing to stand up with and for them when the enemy comes to town.
If all the leftists voting third party is seriously enough to get the Republicans elected then it's also a serious reason for the Dems to actually appeal to that cohort of voters. Either the left matters or it doesn't – you can't have it both ways.
I can only hope every university that embraces this software is saddled with years of fixing the failures this will bring
