Mad cow disease, also known as Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, is when cows ingest contaminated meal, which can be sometimes made up of other cows. It was considered a disaster for the cattle industry in the 1990s.

Anyway, I bring it up because this is basically how LLM slop is starting to work now. All the nutritional grass has been eaten and now what’s left is the contaminated meal made from other LLMs. The LLMs eat the meal, and soon we will have, like Mad LLM disease or something

It's talk like a pirate day! Here I go:

"I just want to access the media I already own in a portable format that I can watch or listen to in high quality on all my devices without DRM or adverts."

Did I do it right?

I will always boost this quote; that’s just the rules. But the image doesn’t have alt, so here’s the key text:

“Sometimes people use ‘respect’ to mean ‘treating someone like a person’ and sometimes they use ‘respect’ to mean ‘treating someone like an authority’

“and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say ‘if you won't respect me I won't respect you’ and they mean ‘if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person.’” https://mstdn.ca/@Schteve/113023778195165583

Nobody ever really teaches you how to be a friend or how friends are supposed to treat you outside of extreme cases presented in after school specials.

So I'm here with unsolicited advice.

If you're the type of person who kind of disappears into your inner world sometimes, you should be open about that with your closest friends.

If you're the type of person who exists on vibes and someone was talking to you and now they aren't and you can't figure out what you did wrong, like legitimately it's like they just dropped off the face of the Earth... They might be the kind of person I was talking about earlier and you should check on that before you just make a bunch of anxiety assumptions.
