Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I can’t tell you the amount of contempt real coders have for Musk’s stolen valor at pretending to be technical. His years (decades?) of pseudo-code revealing that he doesn’t actually know how software works are so offensive to genuinely talented developers that they’ve always hated him.

Hard same.

Welcome back. Seriously.

Everything got so stupid so quickly.

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock.
Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word. #WorldBookDay

Diesel fumes?

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital.

You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library.

You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library.

You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library.

You want sourced info? Library.

Reasonable men can disagree. I have a whole system optimized for this.

Hard same.

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.”

The three spirits:

“Fuck around and find out” is now becoming “please feel free to test that assumption at your earliest convenience. Per my recommendation, take note of said result”

God this is depressing

If the government ain’t worried about it… it’s probably the governments doing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wild to me that there are legit unidentified drones all over the northeast and the best the government and its multi trillion dollar military budget has for us is "it's fine probably"

Make it like those YouTube plaques
