I do stuff, I have opinions. These are not necessarily my employers opinions. I think I'm funny.

I, like Mark Twain, believe that "Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer."

I also believe that "Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate motherfucker."

Me watching Bake-off: You fool! You can't dip the walnut whirl in the tempered chocolate; you have to drizzle over the top to achieve the characteristic wobble of the coffee ganache, Parisian café-style!

BREAKING NEWS:

I'd like to announce that I will not be performing at the Freedom 250 Presents: The Great American State Fair

Vanilla Ice has confirmed that he is looking forward to performing there, but he's always been good at collaborating and listening.

what in the fuck?

sixty eight minutes ago I ordered a replacement USB-C headphone adapter on Amazon. regular prime next-day shipping.

it was just posted through my door.

(and before you say it, yes, I am 100% sure it's the regular prime next day service, same day was not even an option, and we do not even have "prime now" or whatever it's called as a service here.)

I am asking people once again to stop describing #AI using human words and attributes.

AI doesn’t answer—it extrudes plausible output that happens to be right.
AI doesn’t hallucinate—it extrudes plausible output that happens to be wrong.
AI doesn’t have agency—it extrudes plausible output that is consumed by a computer program.
AI doesn’t think—it extrudes plausible output that is fed back into itself for another round.
AI doesn’t create—it extrudes a mixture of its training data.

Remember: the robot is not a person.

PS: I changed “regurgitates” to “extrudes” because it’s less biological and more mechanistic.

PPS: Yes I know “AI” is a misnomer, but it’s what people call these things these days. IMO “LLM” is insufficient to describe GenAI because it excludes diffusion models.

@cjust My sentiments exactly. Wooo! 😂
I may have scored the best $1 purchase at a yard sale ever.
One more thing: I'm looking forward to a hearing in Congress about this. The "Private-CISA" repo included AWS keys for at least two different Nightwing contractors, including terraform scripts from another employee with embedded clear text credentials, suggesting there was a practice of sharing credentials.
If anybody is wondering how this keeps happening, Google pull their AI output from Reddit. Somebody posted a Reddit thread saying days have fish in them, so now Google replies saying that. Google just blindly trusts any poster on Reddit (not a joke).

“You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run.”
