no wait, that's TSFKA West Virginia. Ohio is now "OK, HO!" which seems a little rude

is that TSFKA Ohio, now Backwards Semi-Russian Nonsense? (as opposed to usual Ohio nonsense πŸ˜‚)

maybe if we rename it Mez Mico, people will be able to identify it as a state and not think it's a different country

I know an English prof whose AI policy is simply to grade LLM papers like any other paper

Because that inevitably means they fail

When all the students who turned in ChatGPT papers get them back with a big red F and all kinds of marks like β€œno such source!” they learn more than one valuable lesson

β€œYes but look how much the tech has progressed! Taking a ten word prompt and drawing a map, labeling it, and creating a digital image file in under 2 seconds in a free web app would have been unthinkable in 2015”

Bro, in 2005 I could go on google and search β€œUS Map” and get one with all the states

A box of safety devices packed and ready for college. There is a fire extinguisher, smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, flashlight, and bike helmet. There is also a full baked ham. Inside the ham is a glowing universe. The text reads: Some of these are safety devices every college kid needs and one is a ham that contains a pocket universe! Pack the safety, leave the celestial ham! Make sure kids pack safety devices they’ll need for their apartments. Don’t forget a helmet if they ride a scooter, bike, or hoverboard.

Regular ham is fine.

What did I fucking say?

I do not care about the LLM's capability to count letters. You are burning down the fucking planet for shitty gotchas which do nothing but prove to the tech industry that people WILL USE THEIR SHIT even if it's fucking bad.

STOP USING GEN AI TO SHIT ON GEN AI.

Just to clarify: ICE is taking people from their homes and the only place in the US they're *not* allowed to lie to get people to open the door is Southern California: brokeassstuart.com/2025/08/07/6...

Even if there is some record of an assault or indecent exposure somewhere, there's no evidence that more strident policing of who can and can't enter a given area would have prevented it. Anyone can walk through a fucking door.

super real, just like the ones of cops with "fentanyl exposure"

in retrospect, I'm pleased that I was smiley after mine instead of shaking and sobbing with relief
