We call AI output slop not because it's incapable of regurgitating something beautiful, but because vomiting up chunks of mixed restaurant meals is not the same as being a chef. That some of the upchuck can still be parsed as it was on the plate is not thanks to digestion or emesis, but to cooking.
how dare your order cause me to spend more time (approximately 30 seconds) amongst people! don't you know there is a lonliness epidemic!
nice work if you can get it*
*and have no ethics
This Atlantic article is a textbook example of how you create a straw man and then argue solely against that straw man rather than trying to craft a logical argument based in a reality that doesn't fit your preconceived biases.
I've burned through my fair share of Moleskines and G2s...
An Adler 46 typewriter in black with German keyboard. There is a sheet of paper curled over in the typewriter, with one line showing: "When they answer no to either question, the referendum begins."
Sometimes you need to turn to the typewriter to get the thoughts out and turn off the editor brain. I'm never going to finish a draft of either of these books if I constantly feel the need to revise as I work.
If only there were some sort of expert they could have turned to for advice... I feel so goddamn bad for kids whose parents abuse them like this.
And I don't use the term lightly. It's abuse, full stop.
Indeed, and any journalist worth their salt would already be well aware of those voices.
Just finished this blanket for my wife.
53,790 stitches.
Biggest project I've ever completed.
NARRATOR: Historians will not, in fact, struggle to explain what happened.
Okay, annual Clery Act compliance training complete... NOW it is officially spring break.

We're on spring break here this week, so there's at least some adjustment period.
This person obviously thinks a candidate is entitled to votes, and a campaign exists not to inspire but to shame.
Tell me you have no clue how politics work without telling me you have no clue how politics work.
A campaign is literally a period of time spent trying to motivate voters.
If politicians had no responsibility to motivate voters to the polls, they wouldn't keep harassing us for more campaign money.
The continued existence of daylight savings time is a sure sign that humans aren't nearly as smart as we think we are...
Boy, do I fucking hate these completely unnecessary time shifts.
Shame to see Piastri DNS in his home #F1 race...
Théophile Naël looked great at Macau last year. I'll be interested to see how he does in this F3 sprint race from his reverse-grid spot of 12th after taking pole yesterday.
A photograph from Zach Bigalke's perspective, with a rainbow blanket knitting project in his lap and an F1 coverage will start shortly screen on a TV in the background.
Knitting in Pennsylvania and watching formula racing half a world away in Melbourne... it's a rousing Friday night at the Bigalke household.
Just finished grading the assignment I had hanging in my class of 175.
I had a great review session earlier with my KINES 100 students.
I even got out for 2.8 km with Lady this morning...
Now I just need to grade yesterday's exam for my class of 202 and it's officially spring break for me.
If you think so little of your customers that you rely on an LLM to answer your email instead of paying a human to do it it reflects poorly on your business.
I'm open to the idea that his wallet needs inspecting...
Growing up in a national park, I never appreciated how vibrant the stars were where I grew up — until I moved away from Wyoming and suddenly encountered the night sky as most of the world sees it.
It's probably a good thing I fell asleep midway through FP2 last night... even so, I really need some coffee right now.
Thankfully, all I have to do today workwise today is lead an exam review session for students on Zoom at 8 am, then finish grading the last two assignments on my to-do pile.
A tax on being a woman athlete , because transphobes hate trans people, and hid under the guise of 'feminists' to do it
Well done you clowns, and this is only the start
Certainly interesting how everyone seems to be coalescing around the narrative that the problem with DHS was Noem and her management.
This makes me think of the chapter on Angkor in Four Lost Cities by @annaleen.bsky.social...
Love to see Isack Hadjar kick ass so far in that second Red Bull seat...
