Solving your problems with WAY too much firepower...
  • So I ran into this word in two different ways without realizing they were the same word. I saw it written down in various World of Darkness books (where I pronounced it phonetically), and I heard it spoken in the Laundry Files audiobooks (where they pronounce it "gesh"). It took me ages to figure out they were the same word.

  • Early Adopters of Microsoft’s AI Bot Wonder if It’s Worth the Money
  • My problem with this is that your example replies on you already knowing the correct answer, so that you know it's given you the wrong answer and you can go back and try to trick it into giving a different answer. If you're asking it a question to which you don't already know the answer, how would you know if this has happened?

  • You've been instantly teleported two feet to the left. How does this affect you?
  • I fall on my ass in the carpark outside the office. It's cold, but assuming there's no car there at the time, I just walk round the building and let myself back in.

    I thought the no car thing was a pretty safe bet at this time, until one drove past as I was typing this.

  • My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i open
  • I never had that floating over the document I was viewing, just in the home tab of the menu, but I did find a way to switch it off. 'File > Preferences > General' has an option to 'disable all features which require an internet connection'. There are also options in there to disable that opening splash screen if you don't want that.

  • What genuinely interesting people do you follow on mastodon?
  • I started with LoadingReadyRun (@LoadingReadyRun@kind.social) because I've been a fan of their work for many years now. I've found a couple of authors I'm fond of: Charles Stross (@cstross@wandering.shop) and Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself@mastodon.social). George Takei is a good one to follow as well (@georgetakei@universeodon.com).
