society erred when we removed the computer from its honored place in the home and ushered it into every part of our profane world. we must rebuild the temple of the Computer Room

the new twitter situation where all your retweets are banished to a separate tab on your profile has put me off from the platform so badly... to me, the whole point was to be a curator of retweets... so funny that THIS is my final straw (at least I hope)

every gardener i follow is going absolutely hogwild flexing that they eat lettuce from behind their house. i've never seen gardeners act like this in my life. this is our super bowl. this is our olympics. gold medal in shitting normally

If you still believe OpalApparition used Claude “just twice”, or that she didn’t use it at all, please see her own words. You deserve to know and to care that you were lied to. I and other anti-AI writers she coerced into unknowingly editing AI processed text deserve to be furious at her deception.

I've been wrestling with how to phrase this for few days now and I'm sorry it's not better.
I messed up. I am sorry. [a green bar obscures a few words here] I owe you an explanation and a proper apology, and I want to give that to you because you have been my friends and you deserve to hear it directly from me.
But I can't do that in this exact moment as my life is imploding in ways I can't even fully process yet. I need to step away from the Internet for a while because overall backlash has just consumed me. You all mean very much to me and I'd rather have you hear this from me than otherwise, so I hope you would be willing to listen to me later, but if not, l completely understand.Screenshot from discord in dark mode, black background and pale gray text.

You lied to all of us and used some of us in ways that are so coercive I cannot wrap my head around them. The way you used me, knowing how I feel about Al and how willing I have been to be a true friend to you has wrecked my whole shit. I am so hurt, l am so angry. I am so embarrassed to have put my faith in you.
I don't want you to be in danger. That is the nicest true thing I can say.

I know and l am so, so, so sorry. I am. I realise l cannot fix this. I'm ashamed, and I never wanted to use or hurt anyone.
