ChatGPT is not your friend! real relationships challenge you toward personal growth, as with Mavis Beacon, a beautiful lady professional who taught me to type really fast.

Slowly watching the coders I knew who were (quite reasonably!) skeptical about AI coding drift into using it constantly. We crossed some kind of utility line a little while back I think

I'm a "Prescribed person", which functionally means there's a bunch of things I'm not allowed to do. Also I read a recipe the other day that told me to put 1L of water in, 1 cup at a time. I'm surprised the language works at all.

Wikipedia definition of "idiot plot": In literary criticism, an idiot plot is one which is "kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot",[1]:β€Š26β€Š and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case.

My dog likes to bark at nothing at night. If I call him Dog Quixote am I just enabling this behaviour?

Honestly at some point "Dead internet theory" as a risk is going to turn into "The internet isn't dead enough can we stab it a few more times please?"
