If you're going to send me something written by an LLM then save us all time and resources and just send me your prompt instead. I'll value a text that says "Heartfelt condolence message with reference to a list of events" more, because this way I at least actually know what you were thinking

An AI generated cover of a dark romantasy book passing itself off as written by Sam Blake. Sam has added the text AI FAKE across the cover with explosive emojis

A screenshot of the title and blurb of an AI generated book passing itself off as written by Sam Blake. There are no reviews which is something of a relief

For anyone who got a notification that I've written a dark romantasy trilogy (this is book 1) - I haven't. Please don't buy any of them.

These books are AI generated &
Amazon should be removing them today.

For anyone who may have bought one, I hope you can get a refund from Amazon.

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

Okay, that's fair. I guess I have a different perspective, given that I'm still at the phase of my life where I get more feedback from older people than younger people.

What I mean to say is: I don't think there's anything wrong with critical nostalgia, and I think many young people on their exploration of the world around them end up yearning for *some* aspects of the past. What is wrong is becoming a fossil. Don't become a fossil, but feel free to be inspired...

And yet, many of us end up being facetiously nostalgic for things and phenomena that are much older than we are, soaking in the highlights reel of retroactive cultural fantasies that we come up with while ignoring all of the problems that we couldn't have been around to witness.

there's two incompatible syntaxes. this is the better syntax.

also as someone who did a lot of coding for both, the 8086 is sooo much more convenient than the SM83

"rep stosw"

when i write 8086 assembly programs I often find myself relying on the REP instruction. i think that makes me a "repper"

being a programmer do be like this sometimes

Panel 1: There is a small, pink, frowning blob labeled "Self Esteem". Shen is crouching down to it, resting his elbows on his knees, and asking, "Self Esteem, why are you so SMALL?" Panel 2: Self Esteem looks down with reflective, emotional eyes and says "I'm s-sorry." Shen's hand pets it on the head as Shen, from off-panel, says "It's okay!" Panel 3: Shen, still resting his hand on Self Esteem's head, points behind him with his thumb, and shifts his eyes to gaze that way too. Self Esteem also looks that way, curious. Shen says "just take some notes from your brother, okay?" Panel 4: In the corner of a room, on a metal bench bending under his weight, sits a massive lime green blob labeled "Elf Esteem." He has a menacing and confident smile and muscular yellow arms and legs, and he is curling a dumbbell with his left arm. He's surrounded by posters of fictional elf women, such as Frieren, Zelda, and Marcille Donato. He also has a bow and arrow leaned against the wall, and a pair of fake elf ears on the ground near him.

An image macro of an angry Twilight Sparkle (unicorn, so the only correct form) with the caption "I'm Gonna Tolerate & Love / The SHIT Outta You."

the reaction of blue archive fans to criticism of their franchise/fandom and the "Love & Tolerate" movement of 2011 are the same picture. it's just bronies with a new coat of paint. i will not be taking questions

for a second i was worried i published the post too early /s

oh dear lord you still remember \*

nah the swan could actually pull most of this off. maybe not the color palettes - RGB444 combined with an awkward GBC-like color space is a bit more restrictive. keep cooking

one of these days i'll write a blog post with no filter. this post will be so unhinged that literally all of bluesky will block me. every single one of you

ordered a phone 3a, left with nothing
