autoplag pronounced like “auto-plag” or “auto-plage”?
Guy invented a new way to misinterpret the matrix, nice. Was getting tired of all the pilltalk
I looked through her recent replies on threads, and while she has deleted the original post, it looks like she is doubling down on this take:
I guess I’ll say this in a different way, the language around that SOME people are using around chat GPT is the same panic language society always uses with new “advancements” or tools. We saw it when GPS became a thing, we see it now with people freaking out about cursive going away, and oh my, they definitely saw it with calculators. At its core it’s a “geez how are we gonna tell people apart anymore, if we can’t test these skills.” That’s not the only argument about it…
there are plenty of things to talk about about AI But this language definitely exists in the conversation. I recognize it easily, because it’s very, very Culty. It’s this very apocalyptic nature of discussion around it instead of the acknowledgment that human beings will keep building tools that will change everything.
every time a new tool makes certain skills that we test for to rank folks obsolete human beings freak out
To which all this I say… wow, she really has decided to just ignore all the discourse about generative AI*, huh? Like sure you can use this analogy but it breaks down pretty quickly, especially when you spend like 5 minutes doing any research on this stuff.
*Would love to start using a new term here because AI oversells the whole concept. I was thinking of tacking something onto procedural generation? Mass PG? LLMPG/LPG? Added benefit of evoking petroleum gas.
My understanding is that through her experience, she has developed a career around analysing cults (as well as other things) which is great! We need that in the world.
However she has unfortunately missed the areas where her expertise would be really insightful (SV itself basically) and taken this weird tack. Dunning Kruger be like that sometimes
This is great.
What I’ve heard from my endless hours of comedy podcasts is that at corporate gigs like this, sometimes some execs start getting the idea that, because comedy is being performed, that they get to make some jokes too. Once they get up on stage, the worst possible mask off shit just pours forth. I kind of want to know if that happened.

capitalist: does capitalism
liberal: Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this.
I'm feeling a weird mix of emotions about this. It's not the cash grab by ol' salty dog; capitalism is doing its thing. I'm both elated that these idiot liberals feel betrayed by this turn of events and enraged that these liberal idiots exist to launder the reputation of techbros in the first place.
And remember kids, pump always comes before the dump

A wallpaper app? What is this, 2008?
Also: note that it is centred around her sister. Note to self: do not direct LLM to write erotica about a sibling, because that is not a normal thing to do for someone turning over a new leaf.
“completed” I guarantee it’s AI gen’ed. Note to self: use LLM to pump out a novel if/when I need to show I’m turning over a new leaf
These are the parks the promptfondlers want
Up to 8.5 million Windows devices were affected by Friday's IT outage after Crowdstrike's antivirus update went awry.
Kind of sharing this because the headline is a little sensationalist and makes it sound like MS is hard right (they are, but not like this) and anti-EU.
I mean, they probably are! Especially if it means MS is barred from monopolies and vertical integration.
Whisker Squadron: Survivor "feels like a whole new game"
Uncritically sharing this article with naive hope. Is this just PR for a game? Probably. Indies deserve as much free press as possible though.
