Don't anthropomorphize LLMs, language is important. Say "the bot generated some text" not "the AI replied". Use "this document contains machine-generated text" not "this work is AI-assisted". See how people squirm when you call out their slop this way.

Monopolists be like 🤷

When my 18 year old was very little, if I ever dropped peas on the floor and said to her oh no I've pea'd on the floor, she would laugh hysterically at this extremely funny joke. However now she just calls me a twat. 👍

@randahl This must be a parody universe.

@pixelfed

thank you

25 years ago I got a year 10 English class to come up with brand names for new medicines during a creative writing project. So far 13 of the names those 14 year olds developed are used on drugs. I bet the pharmaceutical companies paid naming consultants so much for them.

@lowqualityfacts yes send me udon immediately please

Hey, if you want your mind absolutely crushed into dust today then read my article at Scientific American about how much energy is released when two supermassive black holes collide. To borrow from Douglas Adams, it's the best bang since the big one.

@brahms I assume so! That's getting ahead of things - the next crowdfunder will be for the AI book, which is out this spring.

My company used to be a scrappy San Francisco tech startup but we were acquired by a large corporation so we had to switch from being Google people to Microsoft people and I'm in the process of creating a training deck in PowerPoint and I am seriously losing my mind with how Microsoft keeps messing up my formatting and how every little thing seems to take 5–10 times as many steps.

For example, I'll try to figure out how to do something that would have taken one click in Google slides and I'll figure it out, but it's like a seventeen step process in PowerPoint, so, when I’m done, I'll ask my husband who has been tortured by Microsoft for much longer if there's an easier way to do that thing and he'll inevitably be like "the way you did it IS the easy way to do it in PowerPoint/Word/whatever."

It's seriously like they clunked together some code and were like "well, it's at least kind of sort of better than a word processor?" and never bothered to improve anything.

I hope this email finds you worthy, finds you so very precious, finds you so very beautiful with holy divine beauty.

If you're logged in on the website and it doesn't work there either, then it does sound like your server hasn't got elasticsearch active.

You might want to discuss this with your server admin.
