People say genius can't be rushed but I think what isn't pointed out nearly enough is that non-genius also shouldn't be rushed. Non-geniuses are no less entitled to a personal quota of idle wandering, breaks to consume cake, staring blankly out a window and taking 11 days to reply to a text message.

It’s the result of massive bot activity, downloading data at a scale which our infrastructure has found challenging. We have been finding this across all our metadata resources in recent months.

Writing is basically the wrong word for writing (e.g. books) :)

Always has been wrong, and incomplete.

Using genAI for "research, brainstorming, or outlining" means your so-called work is not just human work. You may think you can still call it "human-authored work" but it doesn't meet my criteria for "human-authored work."

Authors don't just type words. They think. They read. They choose.

The point of writing a summary is to read actively, process and internalise what you read, and select information according to your purpose. It's not just to have a shorter thing

striking photo of a black and white tuxedo cat. The entire photo is almost entirely a velvety black except a curving line of white fur and the cat's  gold eye which are illuminated by a sliver of sunbeam.

Bow down before your local toad today and respect his supreme leathery authority. There is no time to waste.

A cool little Mycena that I photographed in Oxapampa, PerΓΊ. Never seen one with this cool stem texture before, no idea which species it could be.

a screenshot from 2013 of a virtual pet game called 'kawaii pet megu'. the user's virtual pet, a frowning blue blob with a bulb tail, stands in an illustrated backyard with a dilapidated pet house, looking sad. above its head is the message 'everything is alright'. below it, its status window includes bleak updates like 'health: super fine' 'reliability: you are made irrelevant' 'hobby: tweeting' and 'stress: being bone lazy'. the overall onscreen status message reads screenshot feels particularly relevant to OP today

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
