This is so swashy and fun! (Also I misread QRP for a moment and got really excited that someone was doing a "draw your QPR meme)

This and the next post about women are darkly funny considering the way these dudes talk to Epstein like he's their friend's older brother who they desperately want to think they're cool. One of the many shocking elements of the files is how pathetic powerful men are.

Made it with the booze we had on-hand, and it was super tasty! Will try it with better sherry and vermouth next time. Added a couple drops of Scrappy's Fire Tincture to bite thru the sweet, since I like 'em spicy...

I am SO glad you just fell down a Discworld hole

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

i am here to present to you with the world's most underwhelming shadowgast genderbend, simply to sate my own extremely lesbian need for masc women. thank you for listening. gender is fake.

You can completely uninstall/disable copilot on Windows. Your system and local search will run faster afterward. www.howtogeek.com/how-to-rip-o...

Deleted prev because really, I should know better than go give unserious publications the attention they're looking for. Anyway, sectorial bargaining now

It's not actually true that every technology succeeds & becomes a part of our lives forever! We can choose to build a future without LLMs.

In fact, we can also choose a future without vaccines; or say, if we don't choose a future with vaccines, we might lose them. If children dying is what we want.

Seriously it's hilarious to me, the line on LLMs is "this is progress! you can't stop it!" from the same people who are trying to eliminate every gender transition surgery and, uh, the concept of the computer. Well, *you* think things can be de-invented! Let's de-invent the search engine that lies.

It's always mechanical turking. Every single time.

I'll be honest, this isn't about AI at all, it's about the increased expectations of productivity put on tech workers due to a declining rate of profit. all these new tech cos have sky high 9/9/6 expectations for workers; AI is, like all things, just a convenient proxy for exploitation.

It's nice outside. I am going to employ the advanced project management technique of ditching out of the office the instant the week's last deliverable has been submitted and before anything can turn out to be wrong with it.
