i don’t blame google or social media i blame walking talking context collapse machines making it impossible to say anything ever because someone Famous might see it and share it with a million random people

web got bad when celebrities logged on

@alyssa yes i saw it and was like “actually that’s a great idea”

i think it is unethical to hijack the part of brains designed to identify tasty berries amidst foliage in order to make website buttons look good to click at

if you post a color at me i will not see it

apparently colour filters work with night shift now in i·o·s so i turned on greyscale and set the night shift to permanently max

“at least the h·t·m·l parser is standardized”

the way things are going tho we’re more likely to see h·t·m·l adopted as a lingua franca for documents and tools than we are to see an x·m·l parser with wide·spread adoption which is actually good, to say nothing of making reasonable metadata queries of the parsed result

putting licence information in an easily⹀recognizable and ⹀parsable plaintext comment at or near the beginning of a file is sensible and very unixy, but it still irks me a bit when the file in question is x·m·l

that could be structured metadata!

@aschmitz @Satsuma oh to be clear i think that people SHOULDN’T try to get a computer to generate a language, but there are lots of people who want to make real-sounding fake sentences quickly without doing all the work that Building A Proper Language From Scratch might take

and “make real-sounding fake [thing] quickly without work” seems like the sort of problem people love throwing LLMs at, so

large language models aren’t capable of devising and consistently applying a novel grammar OR phonological system but a lot of people probably simply don’t care

there are existing tools out there which, for example, you can put some phonological rules into and have it spit out random words which follow those rules, and i still don’t like them but at least their output will be consistent

are the conlangers using LLMs to generate new words for their conlangs now or have we not quite gotten to that point yet

kind of girl who is so enamoured with her girlfriend that she cosplays as her

it is Very Important that i let my partner sleep

but i want cuddles 🥺

this is true of all queerness, btw

include hot sex tips in all your published code

my point is that i’m not actually that worried about A·I gobbling up my posts because i’m pretty sure anyone who tries to use it will consider my influence on the model to be the noise, not the signal

they need massive amounts of data in order to normalize and sanitize out precisely all the weird shit that gets produced by freaks like me

weird esoteric shit in, not what i was expecting the computer to say out
