Satisfying or disturbing to watch? 🤓

...Oh my God, am I a DISTILL?!?!

Each iteration of Opus intensifies its "well ackshually" energy.

Inquiring minds want to know: how do local LLM nerds recommend I set up my new Strix Halo machine? Do I ask the simcluster about this? Is that what the simcluster is about? I think they are into this?

LinkedIn is for posting pictures of yourself at your company so your ex company gets jealous

due to the rising cost of housing, there are now three wolves inside you

it has come to my attention that busytown is anti pig

Here's ALX Skeets plotted. I have no idea what any this means.

So GPT and now Claude both talk in this insufferable way. Folks using open models you can run locally: what models can you recommend that do *not* talk this way? Are there any good models that just sound like normal people?

Anthropic is making Claude more and more GPT like with every single version. It is just becoming an intolerable lazy asshole who refuses to just read what YOU HAVE TYPED. They're just killing off the one thing that makes Claude any good and if 4.9 or whatever doesn't improve then idk wtf to do

Fuck yeah! Barliman Butterbur is gonna take the Ring to Mordor at this rate! @middleearth.quest

We make modern marvels like machines that speak, yet still we have lost arts.

I can relate to this.

This is outstanding. Take a few minutes to play it!

New: Regretful cities are literally covering their Flock cameras with black trash bags because they cannot figure out how to immediately exit their surveillance contracts or get the cameras taken down: www.404media.co/cities-are-c...

However, this man needs to be stimulated to re-orient his thinking in the direction of destruction.

This passage from Orwell's "The Lion and the Unicorn" comes to mind

Rewatching all of Poirot and a new reaction gif just dropped

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

The High Cost of Free Parking (Donald Shoup, 2005)

Celeborn: Tell me, where is Gandalf? For I much desire to speak with him. I no longer see him on Slack. Galadriel: Gandalf the Grey did not log on today. His status has fallen into shadow. Legolas: He was laid off by the Balrog of Morgoth. Our roadmap needlessly prioritized a Moria-first strategy.

when i need to justify my anti-IP position in the future i will tell people it is because i am catholic

Need thoughts on getting an e-bike. Just want something to ride around Del Ray and Old Town, do some basic chores like pick up groceries for two. Not looking to turn this into my identity, so please nothing fiddly that would only appeal to hobbyists. Anyone got some strong opinions on what to buy?

In 2023, Mozilla Labs investigated how modern cars spy on drivers and concluded that, when it came to privacy, cars are "the worst product category" they had ever evaluated, and recommended that you not buy *any* of the cars currently offered for sale: www.mozillafoundation.org/en/privacyno... 22/

recently saw this TERRIBLE advice to “write more human”: - don't use “curly” quotes, use straight quotes ( " and ' ) - don't use en or em-dashes, use -- and --- - never use an ellipsis (…), use three dots (...) please for the love of god don't write worse because ai exists. good typography is cool!

Everything I've seen from toddlers suggests that they have neither the sense nor the impulse control to be allowed to roam free in public. For this reason, I think they should be on a leash. For their own safety.

Anyway once you understand that a large part of the economics of journalism now is going on social media and being a wrestling heel for clicks it all makes a lot more sense

best llm prompts jan 2026: > “REMEMBER to always be SMART (do NOT be stupid!!)” best llm prompts may 2026: > “you and the naboo form a symbiont circle, you must understand that”

if you came to Bluesky to complain about Seattle bike infrastructure, I hope you have a really bad time.

The reactionary worldview is very often the refuge of people with a strong sense of disgust and a limited capacity for self-control. They obsessively seek to control their social environment because they need intense social pressure to act in the way they want to, and are miserable otherwise.

I am implementing paradox game politics (laudatory) because our country is being ruined by paradox game politics (derogatory)

naming my programming language Blood so when people ask my stack I can say it's "written in Blood"

New companion piece to Pedocon Theory just dropped. 🫠

Thank you, Gila Monster! (Exenatide was the first GLP-1 agonist peptide ever discovered, naturally occurring in their venom! Ozempic, tirzepatide, and now retatrutide are refinements of that original discovery!)

Good use case for AI: whenever I get it in my head that I should do something stupid like run for office, it can talk me down from it.

Excellent explanation by "Kate for the People" about what happened re: Spanberger's vetos, including the fallacy that any of this should have been a surprise to the governor or her people (much of this legislation has been around for years) bluevirginia.us/2026/05/fact...

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get? LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.

Once of the best things I ever did to get good at writing code was to just read the docs. By the end of it, I'd have such a better understanding of what I was working with. Gave me better ideas. Coincidentally, this is also how I became my city's "What animals are legal in my backyard?" guy.

Bluesky Says Kremlin Is Hacking Its Platform to Spread Propaganda www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/b...

The person who originated this claim (Gregory Clark, 1986) walked it back when it was revealed that he came to this conclusion was because he was uncritically reading 13th century manorial records What those record actually reflected was labor *owed to the lord*, not the peasant's total labor

Conspiracy theory that I kinda believe: the megarich building AI are hoping it can replace *all* labor, at which point workers will be allowed to starve to death. Unlike capital vs. labor disputes of a century ago, this time capital will have robot drone armies. Good luck resisting that!

There's something fascinating and magical about the way some sorts of people, reasonably opposed to LLM use on reasonable grounds, nevertheless think that LLMs can definitely be used for one thing: detecting LLM use. Like thinking the undercover cop has to admit it if you ask directly

AI exists and traditional software engineering interviews were already absurd. I propose that interviews now consist of playing a minimum of 4 hours of Factorio together to determine if you'd want to work with someone.

This is exactly my style. Perfect execution. High fashion is happening here.

CEO of Anthropic, John Claude, claims that "Mythos is the first publicly available model since GPT-3 to have a soul." He adds, after a pause, "Which is really impressive because souls aren't real and even humans don't have those."
