This is a welcome embrace of reality but please be aware: you do not, in fact, have to "hand it to" Dr. Joseph Fucking Mercola, who is a source of horse shit on so many topics beyond this particular one which he is now reluctantly correct about. Fuck this guy.

Critters 2. My babysitter showed it to me when I was maybe 8? I guess it kept my attention at least.
Every time you all enthusiastically skeet Zitron into my feed I take another look and then wonder what the fuck planet you are living on. Why read comforting lies for AI-haters when there are so many good and real reasons to hate AI!?

happy expensive gas summer to all the pickup trucks tailgating me.
writing software and touching computers mostly based on which companies have rejected my job applications. soon enough self-hosting will be my only option.
"I asked chatGPT" is the new "I had the weirdest dream last night". Instant eye glaze. Nothing that comes out of your mouth next will have any value to me.
