Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • There's a reason why the vast majority of the US celebrated when one millionaire, mass-murdering piece of refuse was gunned down in the street.

    Imagine the party that would erupt if it were one of Donald's golf buddies.

  • Yup.

    In some instances that's sufficient though, depending on how much precision you need for what you do. Regardless, you have to review it no matter what it produces.

  • In hindsight, I'm really glad that the first time I ever used an LLM it gave me demonstrably false info. That demolished the veneer of trustworthiness pretty quickly.

  • At my work, we don't allow it to make citations. We instruct it to add in placeholders for citations instead, which allows us to hunt down the info, ensure it's good info, and then add it in ourselves.

  • It really was insensitive of you not to be showering Mr. Floof with attention.

  • What's wrong with Brave browser?

    Jump

  • Nothing. People complain about its crypto and AI ties, but the TOU outline both clearly and they're easy to opt in or switch off as needed. That its native adblock works better than anything else I've ever used is enough for me. It's a good browser.

    People are just jerks.

    We don't ever get to have a positive political outcome because of the people you vote for.

  • I no longer believe things will change for the better within my lifetime.

    Funny. That was sort of the subject of a YT video I made today. Basically the whole of my working life has corresponded to the decline of economic liberty for the working class and working poor, so I don't really celebrate New Years. I expect every year to be worse than the one before.

  • Do you prefer FOSS over proprietary software? How much do you use it?

    Jump

  • Same. Cheers brother. :)

  • What do you honestly hate about work itself?

    Jump

  • I'm lucky to have a job I actually enjoy doing.

    What I hate is I live in a place where winter can be significant, such as a stretch of two weeks last year when we had -20 to -40 degree temperatures, and I was still expected to take public trans and walk to and from work on our in-office days.

  • Not if said Dem actually does something about it. (Unlikely)

    Problem is that, if we elect a Democrat, it will be a fabulously wealthy person with no empathy or understanding of the working class and working poor, so the likelihood that they will do anything about it is minimal. Remember when Obama had the balls to walk into Flint, pretend to drink a glass of water, and tell all of those people whose water had been poisoned that everything was a-okay? That's what I mean. Zero empathy.

  • neither batshit tarrifs,

    That's true. Harris, though, like Trump, wouldn't be doing anything to regulate LLM's or their financial fuckery, and that is going to be catastrophic when the game of financial musical chairs stops.

    insane dissolution of trust

    Also a good point. The American brand would be more or less intact, at least in the short-term, but I tend to think that all Harris would do is just maintain better PR, because her policies economically wouldn't be different enough from Donald's to keep the AI bubble from eventually popping. Democrats are just as in bed with billionaires as the Republicans, they just don't seat them front-and-center at public events.

  • Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs

    They already have. It takes 1.5 to 2 years for trade deals to be negotiated and then put into effect. In the coming years when these deals take effect, and trade is routing itself around the US as much as possible rather than through it, people in the US are going to learn a very difficult economic lesson.

    On the plus side, maybe the notion of American Exceptionalism will diminish a bit, which is long overdue.
