Can confirm, I’d only just moved to Portland when “thiiink you!” and “right on” crept into my speech automatically. And here in Toronto, I could not stop an “Oh my fuck, could you dumbshits not wait for two goddamn seconds?” from escaping my lips toward some bad drivers

People are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you

Also, speaking with a (slight) imitation of the accent of the person you're speaking to is often indicative of a multilingual speaker. It's actually good practice.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

"Writers have been using me long before AI. I am the punctuation equivalent of a cardigan—beloved by MFA grads, used by editors when it’s actually cold, and worn year-round by screenwriters. I am not new here. I am not novel. I’m the cigarette you keep saying you’ll quit."

Upper class. It's crazy woman pussy. You know our rep. Enough said.

IDK who needs to hear this, but you shouldn't buy promises of utopian futures with abundance and UBI from dudes who spend a considerable fraction of their time figuring out how not to pay their taxes.

i cannot stress enough the level of pressure to pretend like you love AI is rn, around two months ago i told my manager that if my performance dips i'm aware this can result in me getting fired, but i won't use AI he asked me to please not mention that anywhere else like the gestapo could listen in

"This is quite troubling because tasks I’ve never mentioned before are falling through the cracks. All of this could be avoided if you quit relying on written or verbal requests and started showing some initiative. Failure to magically know what I want simply isn’t going to fly."

Amen! People freaked out about how (allegedly) intelligent ELIZA was, and that was a very simple computer program. I have zero faith in AI boosters’ claims that their latest plagiarism machine is sentient.

The intelligence illusion seems to be based on the same mechanism as that of a psychic’s con, often called cold reading. It looks like an accidental automation of the same basic tactic. But those answers are in fact statistically generic. softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llme...

There are two possibilities. Either AI is not conscious, and AI boosters are fraudsters. Or AI is conscious, and AI boosters are enslavers. (it’s the first one btw)

Intellectually I know that The Hague is a real place and things other than The International Criminal Court exist there. I was still not prepared to read the sentence: “Shrek Rave Is Coming To The Hague!”
