@Steve_Yegge welcome back! twitter is the sf of the internet — everywhere else lags behind

I'm back on X. Took a couple months hiatus after the death-threat phone calls to my family from the crypto weirdos. They can all fuck right off, permanently. I will not agree to speak of crypto again, so don't ask, not even in person. Thank you for respecting my family's privacy on this. I've been trying to find some lipstick on the LinkedIn pig, and god damn if it isn't a weird, weird place. Almost all negative signal there has been suppressed, and also all quirkiness, it's all smoothed and oversaturated and Stepford-Wives-y. Always been like that, but now it has been terminally infected by AI writing, which has sent it into a spiral, and it's worse than it has ever been. (Note that I never use AI to write, I've taken to using comma splices as a shibboleth.) Everyone on LinkedIn writes their posts with (bad) AI. C-suites, coaches, leaders, principal engineers, product managers--they all have the same banal writing, the same stupid tells. It's like combovers, do they really think nobody else is going to notice? I could sort of stomach LinkedIn when it was just a weird cult. But when everyone started sporting AI combovers, I had to nope out. There are no human cognitive contributions happening there. So fuck it, I'll take the weirdos here along with the great people. I don't think you can find the one without the other. I am officially back, howdy howdy, will post a lot. Feels good. DM me and say hi.

mirror rooms are fun
