How it feels to listen to your NPC coworkers talk about their lame ass weekend at 9am on Monday morning

To a reader, the tone of AI posts stick out. Not talking em dash, it's a feel that you get from reading widely. It's deeply insulting to see this slop everywhere. It's also not fooling anyone. It's not persuasive. Just says, you're a scammer / scum.

u can’t be a “thought leader” if most of ur thoughts are generated by an LLM

Gah damn what a shot. #Summerslam

If Aldis can get Oasis, I better get Limp Bizkit when I return!!!! @freddurst @WWE #WWE #Summerslam

After just over 10 yrs, my time at Microsoft has come to an end - my role was made redundant, and I’m walking away grateful and genuinely excited for what’s next. Open to work: Intune, cloud-native, zero trust, product management, AI. Brisbane/remote. Let’s chat.👇 #OpenToWork

I'm not going to mince words: the major AI labs are negligent in protecting the public from their agents. We need government regulation now or at the very least a private cause of action with guaranteed punitive damages for agents damaging others. anthropic.com/news/investiga…

Seriously if you are a manufacturer of a product, please don't label the outside of the box in case the wife gets the mail before you do. Had some explaining to do on my new Meraki Espresso machine that I didn't anticipate having to do.

@techspence I don’t make buying decisions.

Tell me you’ve worked in IT without telling me you’ve worked in IT. I’ll go first… Did you submit a ticket?

someone told mee “what attracts you while you’re broken will disgust you when you heal” and it all made sense.

@itsolelehmann pulping rare books into a closed source AI training set is the most dystopian thing I've read in a while

Homer’s Odyssey is filled with terrifying monsters; Cyclops, Scylla, Charybdis, the Sirens. But the one who steals the most time from Odysseus is Calypso. She doesn’t threaten him with death. She offers comfort, safety, love and keeps him from Ithaca for seven years. Maybe that’s Homer’s deepest lesson: the greatest obstacles in life don’t always look like monsters. Sometimes, they look like comfort. Hardships test our courage. Comfort tests our purpose. Maybe real monsters in life don’t look like monsters !!

Conventional knowledge. LOTR is a story describing how the meek will inherit the earth. If you’ve ever met a Frodo and see how valuable they are in life, then you’re an Aragorn - a magnanimous leader terrified by his own desires. If you don’t understand this, you are Boromir.

Xbox server infrastructure has been leaked by contract laborers close to the outage…

What’s startling here: This reads like they have no idea of what the cause is 15 hours into an ongoing outage. Access to essentially unlimited talent and resources, and yet….
