There are good things in the world:

Security training on the topic of "do not click links or open attachments" is obsolete now.

The AI in your inbox will open all attachments and click on all links. Problem solved.💁🏻‍♂️

What is with the French and doing other people's food better? Look at this shit? There has never been a sweet potato pie in North America better looking than this. Don't even get me started on burgers.

All this time we thought the Year of the Linux Desktop would require making Linux easier to use than Windows, when really it required Microsoft making Windows worse than Linux

I'm a #Linux guy now, thanks Mastodon 💚 Made by a community, not a corporation 💚 Designed for my comfort and control, not for someone else's profit 💚 No company pushing weird crappy products I don't want 💚 No auto-launching bloat killing the computer's performance Why did I wait this long?! I LOVE IT

"Facts don't care about your feelings" has mutated into a much dumber heuristic: "If I am hurting your feelings, I must be stating a fact."
This is a logical fallacy. It is entirely possible to be an asshole and be factually incorrect. In fact, the correlation is likely positive.

I sometimes see folks being surprised at how willing people are to attribute actual cognition to LLM processes.

We're a species that has historically attributed cognition to thunderstorms, the sun, the moon, trees, rocks, etc, and LLMs hit us square in the language centres that have historically been our most reliable source of evidence that we have encountered a fellow "thinker".

The genuinely surprising thing would be if we *didn't* have a tendency to anthropomorphise chatbots.
