gonna be real with you, this is giving "i told an AI to write a sitcom script" more than actual LLM output the thing about LLM output is that it's mush, carefully tuned to minimize emotional impact so the word "even" in the second sentence clangs in my ear like a comedy sting that sentence

V. E. Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic trilogy was an enjoyable read but it lacked depth, it was pulpy; it wasn't a masterwork The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a masterwork
15yo, sidling up to me: Mom? Me: Hm? Everything ok? 15yo: Well...there's something I want to ask for...but my PRIDE... Me: ...is it a hug? 15yo: ... Me: *hugs 15yo* 15yo: AAACK UGH BLEHH *theatrics subside* *mutters into my shoulder* Harridan. Me: LOL 15yo: What? Me: LMAO 15yo: Why is that funny?

your silence is a weapon it's like a nuclear bomb it's like the agent orange they used to use in Vietnam and it's accompanied by an apathy that's deafening to the ears you know it is complete and perfect and you wield it without fear
It seems to me that getting deplatformed because people don’t want to be associated with your bigotry and thugishness is what “failing in the marketplace of ideas” looks like.
