A well-argued essay from @anildash tucked at the bottom of the latest from @pluralistic

Like many others whom the post addresses, I find “AI” so frustrating and distasteful that I have a hard time remembering that no one’s mind was ever changed by arguing

I’m resolving to at least try and do a better job of hearing what is behind others’ drive to engage with the slopbots in service of providing viable alternatives

@ptoothfish my wife saw that over my shoulder and said "eew that sounds like dandruff"

@quixoticgeek I'm glad France is up to the challenge of taking "worst station" from Barcelona Sants

@Caelumtangi genial! 😀 de res!

…The original Jaws script for the above scene voiced by Murray Hamilton was:

“As you can see, it’s a beautiful day, the beach is open, and people are having a wonderful time.”

Ursula K. LeGuin's "Earthsea" cycle is an excellent thing to re-read in your early 40ies, to see how different and still the same it feels in the middle of your life instead of the first quarter.

And this particular edition - hard to hold in your hands, impossible to carry with you, but containing quiet a few extra texts - is something I definitely recommend, too.

Well we have reached the point where someone just sent me a 10p doc that is “I asked AI to tell you how to do your job”.

Deeply insulting. I’m far from perfect. But I have been doing this for 30 years and I promise I can beat the voluminous mediocrity you sent me.

What it say is you do not understand my job, nor have enough respect to learn.
