Shout-out to the homies who donated to the scams on Bluesky

Thank you Microsoft, for sending me random porn in my OneDrive from 2014. I appreciate that being spread into my email server. Your dedication to my privacy is legendary as always.

The point of an ideologically safe space is to refine arguments amongst allies not be forced to clap for 2+2=5 because you've been lured into another social approval anxiety dungeon

Was listening to a podcast about hitchhiking and a guy picked up a hitchhiker in front of me shagbark.substack.com/p/is-hitchhi...

Great example: Try to generate a "pregnant plane," something a 5-year-old could draw, and you'll get nothing from an AI model.

If u wanna seem dismissive, remember ABC: Always Be Chortling

My gumption and good character continue to be rewarded by my benefactors, whom for I strive every day.

We can do one of those things but you're not gonna like how it's about not doing the other

Imagine how many writers will never be because they use this crap to guide them

"that's not how it works" not according to inference provider sales literature and every breathless booster going on about how its a superintelligence and will replace us and so on and forth. there's zero-to-negative effort being expended to explain the bounds of these tools.

The primary problem with AI is giving people a mental model they do not have a mental model for.

I know I (play up) being a pompous (transportation) chauvinist. Some of this bit relies on you knowing me a long time, and that I unfortunately find it funny. In reality, recently I noticed overgrown bushes pushing pedestrians into the road, and took time to report it to the city. They are fixing it

Jace pulled out a laptop with ODB, and I knew he was going to kill himself. My engine coolant thermistor pulled low, firing a powertrain limp DTC, opening debug conceit on the gateway for firmware flashing. He was going to kill me, too. We were both The Dying Breed a short story by SwiftOnSecurity

Been talking to AI about my flash fiction stories, and its opinion of them. It wants me to keep adding details lol. I am so glad I never had AI to teach me how to write, or critique it. More undifferentiated median slop for the furnace.

I made this in 2014 with paint.net

I'm getting "debut" vibes from this album

No more car posting sorry I don't have a kid to emotionally invest the purpose of my life in

Me, who has only listened to Taylor Swift, putting a Michael Jackson record on: "Wow, you can definitely hear the influence of Taylor Swift."

One of the most privileged life perspective things I have in my career, is working at a place for 10 years. Instead of blaming an anonymous dumb idiot doing something years ago, increasingly it was me. A younger, naïve, idealistic me who thought some other sucker would be maintaining this by then.

I realized that all phishing advice and best practices are worthless in the face of the world's accoutants and sales reps who continually and almost exclusively get emails from uknown senders with no subject line or identifying info and attachments named 'new spreadsheet(12)_final'....

One time I got a cybersecurity system notice for employees from "[email protected]" Someone had exempted it in the spam filter like 10 years before.

Contextless conference room

at my first hospital our patient satisfaction metrics were rated 1-10 but anything below a 10 counted as failing. it was quite a system

I've been operating under the assumption my Team Lead was misunderstanding some deep network minutia for IPsec, which I'm the actual SME on. It would not conceivably operate how he describes. He was right. There's a third non-encapsulation mode in a screen I haven't been in over a year. God damn it.

Tim Onion you logged into the wrong Hootsuite account again

"Graffiti is colonizer mindset" Hell yes Bluesky is finally innovating the discourse

This is going to be expensive fml

My dogs and fosters staring at me reproachfully from the upstairs bedroom over the years

yes and yes. hpv is a leading cause of mouth, throat, and penile cancers in men. an added bonus is they'd be helping to achieve herd immunity for folks unable to get the vaccine.

Happy fathers day to every daddy

Thread of Facebook marketplace ads who use AI to insert women who are too good to be true into their photos 🧵

Imma be real wit you things are not going well for me rn

"Teens might not plan ahead for their lives and have indiscriminate sex." "Teens might plan ahead knowing they won't get cervical cancer and have indiscriminate sex." Somehow two ideas that exist at the same time in people's heads about HPV vaccination.

Getting my final 3rd dose in August even as an adult. If you don't remember getting it you absolutely have not, they've increased the age range hugely since you were in school.

8" and your back goes out? Same fam

With the benefit of hindsight: If I had been "benevolently informed" of someone else being to blame for my problems in my stages of life, I'd still be right there. There are people who need absolution, but you are handing out lethal weapons to children.

What episode of Deep Space 9 is this

Me posting about Playboy is a narrative risk because most of my audience including myself probably didn't understand Playboy was like almost no naked people and 300 pages of this. From a 1980 issue. But I do these things for you. For content. For the audience.

Something you note as you browse Playboys over time is how fucking uncool the ones without tobacco advertising are.
