Is Discord really putting ads in browser sessions now or is this a rogue addon?
This neck + spine thing feels kinda Giger-esque.
So it's a little unsettling seeing people enjoying it
Governments please implement "energy lockdowns" to fry these people's brains further.
Like just say you can't buy fuel on Sundays or something, and they'll pop off

So this is either
- whining about non-academics using a phrase differently
- Doctorow thinks the phrase is inapplicable, just like you do

Then they raise things that'd never be described as "enshittification" and say "your enshittification theory didn't cover this did it?"
I hate radlibs man.

Also this article has telltale signs of AI (headings, weird negations), and reading another article I can see even more signs lmao

@jon_dog Kirsty Coventry both ingratiated herself to Robert Mugabe (and worked in his government) and has a history of weird racist stuff. So now she's doing the work of transphobes. Peak girlboss feminism

Also the guy who discovered the gene they test for disagrees with it!

@jon_dog While it's funny to label a kid as only being able to be a pro wrestler or a Disney cast member, it's cruel to put up scores in front of the whole class, it is prime bullying material.
This typology of scores is also feeling like Myers-Briggs type shit
Imagine building a whole business on saying "yeah reading level is just the length of words and sentences, you can just average that over a whole text".
Like how the hell are you saying Hemingway is sometimes below Charlotte's Web, but also just above Twilight? Maybe impressive for 1988 when serious compute power is nowhere, but today it shouldn't be a paid API
There's also this magazine with production notes from Ben Hall, a show I've never watched lol
Cleaning up my place a bit to be more organised and regain space.
Recently got these books from my Grandma which look pretty nice together.
My mum was going to chuck these weird Christian Science books out, but I wanted to see if libraries had copies first
Burning $12k, let alone $190k, of AI tokens in a month is insane to me. If it was purely electricity (it isn't, I know) 12k is like 3.7MW in Perth!
And then complaining about paying just $20 for yourself is shameless. His repo is just typescript recreations of existing products (fucking why)
