A note to fledgling artists; don't think you need gadgets from the get-go. Equipment like pen displays are not required. They don't level up your art game any faster than cheap paper, pencils, pens or goddamn crayons. Leave the pricey gear until you're sure it'll pay itself off.

Yep. When I was stupid enough to use the "live chat" function of a domestic abuse charity, it told me confidently that being abused because you're disabled isn't abuse, then ordered me to get off the chat.

Which is why I loathe Google’s “AI overview” nonsense. I often Google scientific or legal topics, and the AI often contains errors that even I —well-versed in those areas but indisputably a layman — can readily spot. And for this, we are killing the planet and nuking people’s electricity bills. 🤮

When AI chatbots make things up, this should be called confabulating. Apparently techies call it “hallucinating,” but that’s not what the AI is doing. It’s taking patterns of words and making up a “fact” or story, as someone with dementia would. That’s confabulation.

Also saw an example last year where google's AI insisted water below freezing was not frozen because it had not reached freezing point yet :) it had statistically remixed the descriptions of boiling and freezing; LLM working as intended, result, nonsense.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Thinking about how Uika said "I'll stay with you forever" in response to hearing Sakiko's mom died. That wasn't just her saying she'll stay with her while they're alive, it was also a promise to stay with her even in death 😭 Oh these two make me SO
