The LLM thing is remarkable because if anyone was like "I never went to medical school anyway here's my magic anti disease device pls give 100 billion" they'd be laughed out the room or beaten with sticks but we're supposed to let guys who never read a book hand us an app claiming it'll write them

I call my Site Director and ask, while it's very dramatic how we always close the innermost blast doors first and work outward, thus allowing escaping subjects to slip through each one just as it slams shut, wouldn't it be more effective to close the outermost ones first?

Ok this (arstechnica.com/space/2025/1...) is an amazing example of the kind of BS hype tech writing we see so much, because even I, a lowly historian, can see the Obvious Problems with 'space data centers' that the article by a journalist at a technical publication failed to ask.

I (accidentally) went on a streak of reading only science fiction written by women and it took me a while to notice I was doing it, because it didn't require any active effort to find books like that. An ocean of new releases too, not just Shelley and LeGuin.

Every time I sit down to write a piece I feel certain that I would rather die than actually write it and yet somehow I would rather die ten times harder before I ever let the word machine write for me.

Shout out to the Mountain Goats for reminding us that an awkward pause CAN be a metrical foot if you believe.
