[LLM Bullshit of the "omg you did WHAT" sort] This isn't real this isn't real this isn't real please oh my God this cannot be real.

[LLM Bullshit] Some AI Obstructionist reading. Mostly it's reassuring because Yegge has a massive fanclub at my work and it's nice to know I'm not the only one wondering what the actual fuck this man is going. https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/18/agent-psychosis/

Love the vigil starting at 4 and being largely done by 6 when you live 45 minutes away with the rush hour traffic and work till 5. Who the fuck schedules these things?

I've stumbled across people arguing about whether a bunch of tea lights under some pipe is actually doing any heating and whether or not heating a galvanized pipe will kill you (???) and people are screaming about square laws and cube laws and I'mma be here ALL night.

Look, a direct sequel to Discovery is getting my attention regardless of what the reviews say and the first episode is not disappointing.

Picked up Beat Saber for the first time in forever. Meeeeeeh. The pressure to pick my own songs sucks but putting on no fail and repeating some of those songs on Normal/Hard till I "survived" is nice. I appreciate the no fail 0.5x penalty does not kick in till you actually fail now.

Warframe is A Game (TM) and I really like/don't like it because it has a very gacha vibe to it in that omg I get I'm in tutorial mode but everything dies in two hits and I've never even fully lost my shields but side bar the vibes are pretty immaculate and the melee is pretty fun.

The other day I tried to print a Do Not Disturb sign at my office and discovered that A) the system had "forgotten" my badge to account mapping so B) everyone and their mother that prints anything has given up that and just walks to the printer chanting the 6 digit temp password.

The Robot continues to cause very expensive outages at work so that's going well.

[Orange Site Link] This comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46718329 And this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46724256 Maybe we SHOULD go back to a strict model of providing sources with binaries and not accepting any feedback.

[Soulmates, S1E3] Okay why this show got "un-renewed" is becoming obvious. The first episode was the strongest. The second was just, "Okay, this story would've happened without the entire sci-fi premise." The third was...a weirdly bad attempt at polyamory? Without even questioning The Test?

Low(ish) Sodium Tomato Soup: If you find you have room for a couple hundred milligrams of sodium I would recommend a can of the No Salt Added condensed tomato soup, ginger powder, a table spoon of coconut aminos, and some of Lola's Lola Racha sauce along with the usual garlic and onion powders.

Oh boy here we go. That's all frozen so raised surfaces are starting to accumulate.

I haven't read it but the number of people I know in my cohort who play Tetris to get over panic attacks and other anxiety flare ups is well over 10. https://www.psych.ox.ac.uk/news/tetris-used-to-prevent-post-traumatic-stress-symptoms

Yo Flathub really do be AUR but way worse because at least AUR comes with a crowd of people warning you about AUR. I know GNOME's Bazaar is better about this now but not everyone is using Bazaar by default and KDE's Discover is *really* bad about unverified flatpaks.

Proud of Rob and Quyne for making this together. ❤️ https://youtu.be/lJf0afqSGVQ?si=xb4-3_E22_YvKNpp

The Boy found out Daddy had never watched Atlantis: The Lost Empire. So we are watching it and I'm like OH MY GOD everyone is a queer stereotype in this movie what the fuuuuuck 🤣

I stg Chamomile Tea is gross plant water but we've all gaslit ourselves into associating with with relaxation it's a pleasurable experience.

Hi, can anyone in Canada tell me what the actual fuck is going on with SMS regulations? We can send you a one time passcode but we can't tell you anything about who it's supposed to be from (it must be brandless)? Not that I particularly care but UX is losing their God damn minds.

I want everyone to know that in preparation for The Weather I have preemptively downloaded Heated Rivalry to my iPad so if the worst comes to pass, you'll all get to hear me scream about the toxic masc gay hockey stuff clear to Montana.

It's definitely not Helene ✨trauma✨ that basically has me with a full camping kit without having camped in nearly 30 years.

If you're a senior manager and you get a four paragraph rant via DM filled with run on sentences and minimal punctuation that's me telling you I took the time to type every last word of that rant to you. Which honestly means I think you're worth my time. 🤣

Currently trying to explain the strong correlation between sexual deviancy and good at security to a manager due to a one off comment of "which furry put this report together?" and it's going in the "so um...our insurance covers therapy you know" direction.

Kerosene heaters can save lives but using one safely and properly involves it spending most of its time outside and you still will have a vague whiff of gasoline hanging around until spring. 🤣

YOT

Usually, when someone points at something and cries, "Ableism!" I gotta have a sit down and think it through. Because ableism is very often a blind spot for myself and something I have to work at. Calling the "Helen Keller isn't real," kids ableist is not one of those times. It's pretty obvious.

I named him Wesley because he's fucking loud and annoying but very smart and cute, too.

I just want to point out that the Framework 13 Laptop is the perfect fucking example of why USB is such a hot fucking mess. Essentially all of the expansion slots are actually USB3.2 or USB4 ports. Which ones? Gotta read a KB article to figure that out!

Hello. I'm now gay rednecking even harder with the fancy paint matched camper top.

I just found these in a drawer and while I'm pretty sure they're JUST freeze dried Skittles but considering who lives in this house (me) eating these is a fucking gamble.

I fucking hate when I say something and my brain is like, "That sounds like LLM." Today it was, "You're already doing the work. Treat yourself." Bish. That isn't even THAT LLM-ish and it's definitely a structure I've used since college.

Oh bother. I stumbled across Deaths of Despair discourse and of course its all manosphere WOMENZ ABANDONED US and NO ONE GOES TO CHURCH ANYMORE. Is it THAT hard to Church without the Church? I know out in LA there's EDM church which is just sober 11 am techno dance and like...why the fuck not?

[Strange New Worlds: S1E9] The Gorn are so scary I love them. They got some real got some real cosmic horror to them.

[Strange New Worlds: S1E8] I'm like 10 minutes into this episode and this is the best holodeck episode ever and you can tell the cast is having SO. MUCH. FUN. Also where did they borrow the costumes from? This is a great little bottle episode.

I *specifically* moved out of South Florida so I didn't have my plans constantly upended because of weather forecasts and here I am relisting these fucking Ghost tickets because the NC/TN passage on I-40 is just not something to fuck with below freezing nevermind the side roads.

LLM collapse is happening in real time tbh. It's just no one ever expected a feed back loop where the reinforcement learning people would be part of it forcing the LLMs deeper and deeper into It's not X it's Y and Why It Matters and so on to the point people just start talking like that.

I think a lot lately about the ending to the audio fiction podcast, Spines. Thoughts in the replies because Spoilers but I want to recommend it to people who like fiction audio podcasts. Spines was also adapted into a book I have not read. Though I might soon. https://spinespodcast.libsyn.com/

I'm two episodes into Soulmates (the un-renewed AMC series now on Netflix) and I need everyone to know that at least these two episodes are about Shit That Happens in Long Term Relationships dressed up in the messiest sci-fi premise ever.

Hi. I just learned about the Magic Knights Rayearth remake. I. Am. Vibrating. With. Excite.

Finally feel safe enough with the Night Rectangle: Like on the one hand, I absolutely got some shit done tonight. Frfr. Pussy. Destroyed. Demons exorcised. Vibes. On the other hand: Bitch how you forget you seeing your psych 8:15 am?

[Kinda LLM Bullshit, But Also Drugs Bullshit] Stumbled across a subgenre of "I did (a psychedelic) and talked to ChatGPT and it went bad" posts and as someone enjoys mushrooms who has to LLM for work OH BOY DOES THAT SOUND LIKE THE WORST FUCKING IDEA EVER.

RE: https://chaos.social/@luap42/115917730547926643 I bet I can take at least the tip. Help me up...

I need people to know when I ask in the GC on a Sunday-before-a-holiday-Monday afternoon, "Anyone doing anything interesting tonight?" The quiet part is, "I want to stay home and do nothing so pretend there's nothing worth leaving the house for so I don't feel like an antisocial weirdo."

I need to get a massive sign that says "You mean that preacher's daughter cannibalism lady? -- My Husband" and then attend an Ethel Cain concert with it.

Kelsea Ballerinu's EP Rolling Up The Welcome Mat fits entirely on one side of a 33 and this makes it the perfect length to indulge in Feeling Bad About a Man to.

I put on Sophie's posthumous eponymous album since I bought the vinyl. Daddy has only heard her hyperpop tracks. We made it as far as Plunging Asymptote before he asked, "Is Sophie trans? It's giving transfemme. Like that weird album you put on by the preacher's daughter cannibalism lady."

Sometimes I get a craving for a specific piece of media and I gotta check in with myself like, "Heeeeey buddy, do we need to sit down and talk about something?Because HOOO BOY you don't just wanna rewatch Event Horizon for no reason."

Do you think UGA fans realize some of their stuff works for pups?
