every time I see the phrase "Butlerian Jihad" I think of Judith Butler on the rampage & I don't actually want to look it up to get what it actually means because I enjoy the image of Judith Butler on the rampage so much

"It's like working with a very junior programmer that never learns and never gets better" is the best analogy I've heard from a senior programmer when trying to use LLMs for game development. There isn't any intent or learning from experience.

Justine McCarthy: Ireland celebrates Hamnet and Jessie Buckleyβs success. It should feel shame
Separating refugee parents and their children betrays the family values of the film and of our constitution
βFamily reunification accounts for little more than 1% of migration into Ireland. Telling people granted refugee status to wait three years β until their children no longer recognise them β is not the stance of a country that professes to cherish the family unit.β

Literary allusion is an important part of craft. Regardless of what certain terminally online morons like to say, it makes you a better writer to read and to read broadly. DO read trash and pulps. And also read Proust. And also read Fanon. And also read Gao Xingjian. And also read Gorodischer.
