I may have shiny thing syndrome, but I never got the wanderlust thing. I think wandering and ending up homeless kind of cured me lol

Nah I used to do this as a kid

It’s a gradient. Did you get to decide who you’re allowed to vote for? Do they represent your actual interests? Do you have a say over what happens in your city or your workplace?

Stuff like that

Yeah I have all the LLMs through work, so every now and then I’m like wtf let’s give it a shot, I need to do a super fuzzy search over a large semantic area and why what do I have here…

Number one, it saps any little bit of joy I might have taken out of work, and two, “speaking” to it makes me feel insane. Like I’m talking to the world’s most polite gaslighter. And it’s so confidently wrong all the time.

I’m fine just loading up my squishy human brain with context and then executing, but increasingly its getting harder to parse online docs (including internal!), articles, and other resources, because they’ve been slopped up by a process that doesn’t actually understand anything it’s generating.

You don’t know one cool bar, restaurant, or park in your area?

I remember going from using Z/X/C+mouse2 for left/backpedal/right+forward WASD was such an adjustment

Oh that’s nasty

Nah if anything people aren’t sensitive enough. I’d like more people to have the same reaction anytime Google, Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI, or Anthropic are mentioned. Just to name a few

Hyperscaled cloud computing in general is something else to be wary of, but baby steps. Start with the ai, then keep digging

You were too good for her anyway

I wish my masto had the different emoji reactions. Is that a sharkey thing?

You say that, but if it’s cars or sports oh lord please get me out of here

I admire the passion but ideally from another room

It’s… a story

Wow that sounds so smart. If I’m thinking of anything it’s just replaying social interactions and trying to keep my tics from becoming to apparent until I get home.

Hm so people who are better than me can criticise me; I guess that makes more sense. I like both perspectives tbh

Been brining

Obviously a dilly

What the other person said but specifically take the tiny little thing out of your eye, before telling someone else to take the big huge thing out of their own.

Basically don’t criticise unless you’re perfect.

No it’s everyone’s problem!

Hmm but Trek is so gay… I guess just one of those happy coincidences

me clapping furiously, tears streaming down my face I can’t believe this magnificent display
