Hahah, I wrote a similar response to the same question a few weeks before: If young men aren't capable of doing things without AI , how are they supposed to find a way to the egg cell? I don't write the rules

In a heartbeat! My exposure tells me it has a mind of it's own, forgets nothing and talks/types like Trump...non-stop. 🍁
🌹WeegieFromWA 🍀@onefussyone.bsky.social · 7h agoAny of us who have ever had to shout "connect me with a human, damnit," into our phones with clenched fists know the answer this question, hands down.
This is actually a place where those of us who have some seniority and no fucks to give can leverage their privilege. If someone posts a job to a list without salary info, I will IMMEDIATELY reply on-list to say “Before I forward this to great candidates who might be interested, what is the salary?
Matthew Noe@noethematt.bsky.social · 11h agoMy MLS students would like you to know that if you don't post a salary with your job posting, they aren't likely to apply.
"My shark is all blurry" and other context free exclamations of the day.
air quality warning, you say? Not me about to go bike to work.
It should be fucking illegal for any of these people to eat Mexican food, wherever it's sourced from Vote against the taco trucks, you don't get no taco trucks
huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 12h agofor reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.
seeing a lot of "come to the library if you get too hot and smoky" announcements. And yes, you should. (We also have, like, books) It's just that, in the near term, I am not sure most building HVAC systems can meaningfully cope with serious wildfire smoke and heat at the same time.
Yessss!!! I mean, I doubt they will, but dang it - it would be really cool if they did.
KCUR (Kansas City's best news source)@kcur.org · 11h agoCapitalizing on the World Cup, the Kansas City Indian Center put out even more billboards this year calling on the Kansas City Chiefs to change their name and stop stereotypical practices like the “tomahawk chop.”
We won't have to ban it. It's too expensive to run and it's been subsidized so heavily that when the financing runs out Claude and ChatGPT simply won't exist anymore.

I got someone spitting mad earlier this year because I *insisted* on referring to their tool as an LLM and not AI, and would not let them force me into using AI as the term. I realized for a lot of people this has become an item of faith, not cold analysis of a tool.
Omelas re-telling but as an Irish Times Abroad piece. "I loved Omelas but it didn't love me."
Since this was invented by an Irishman, it is extremely Irish that we ended up sub-contracting all our hangings out to Albert Pierrepoint instead of developing a business model for it here.
Just solved a patron computer issue involving the command line and 7-zip and pure stubbornness
Here a compilation of stupid things library consultants have said to me in solidarity with library pals at Lambeth Libraries where genius consultants has decided that a qualified head of library service post isn't really essential.
That captures it fairly well. Wildfire smoke over North Vancouver. Smoky clouds and an orange hue of the sun. Not much of a smoky “taste” in the air yet, thankfully. Time to close the doors and windows.
Democrats: We've got to find common ground with these people, not scare away middle-ground voters with freaky ideas like "state supports that are normal in other countries". Republicans: that's not a UFO, its a fallen angel.
Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 3mo agoRep. Lauren Boebert weighs in on the government's release of UFO files, saying aliens are actually "fallen angels and Nephilim" from the Old Testament: "I do believe that this is more spiritual and, if you really want to go there, demonic."
"But he can't do that..." We're TEN FUCKING YEARS IN of living wholly inside "BUT HE CAN'T DO THAT". That is no longer a viable argument and is basically shorthand for dissociating. They control every aspect of the Federal government, and they can, in fact, very easily do that.
Finally! A scientific answer! (And what's the solution to too many bleedin' Nephilim wandering around your lands? A global Flood. Nephilim hate this one weird trick.)

What is the legal speed limit in housing estates in Cork city? Is it 30kph? Because that's far too fast for any estate. Also when it's 30kph & never enforced motorists are casually doing 40-50kph+. In our estate there are no posted limits so it's a free-for-all.
if your posthumus excuse is that the horrible shit you wrote was part of your "artistic persona", consider this an interpretive dance on your grave
Finished a project today that was somehow a major life milestone and also impressively irrelevant to the universe. But raising a small toast to the conclusion
