The census sketch from SNL captures one of the central problems of LLMs perfectly.
"How long have you lived at this address?"
"...What do most people say?"
We never needed a machine to crowdsource our creativity, our businesses, even our identities. We're practicing parroting what others might want to hear instead of, you know, actual facts or personal truth.
What an inane way to flatten the human experience.
Looked at my phone this morning, then left it in my bedroom & forgot about it completely.
Always a good feeling
Meanwhile on Vancouver Island, fern grows on moss-covered trees...

Gentle reminder that it's okay to start taking COVID precautions again even if you dropped them before.
EVERY infection steals years from your life, either by earlier death or via chronic illness.
EVERY precaution you take makes space for disabled, young, old, immunocompromised, & other COVID-realist folks to participate more safely in society.
EVERY masked event that you plan or host normalizes clean air precautions.
EVERY conversation about COVID safety spreads awareness & saves lives.
Capitalism has trained us to be ashamed of giving gifts that aren't purchased new. We're pushed to feel more obligated to give a gift than to ensure that it's wanted, needed, or won't end up in a landfill within 6 months.
This culture of obligatory gift-giving creates stress, waste, and immense debt.
Laat ons alleen dingen kopen die we nodig hebben en al wilden kopen.
Meer moet dat toch niet zijn?
