Too much personality, if you ask me. My biggest use case of an LLM is tool, not therapy, but therapy and opinions have been sneaking into workhorse tasks. haven't verified, but attributed to Askell: "I just think that... there&#x2

I'm saying that those biggest players and our governments already work hand in hand to do that. Which is to say, the government is used as the enforcement arm for corporate interests. This is less "free" market, and more mark

I had the pleasure of growing up around gray markets (relatively free, bribes were predictable & reasonable enough for an average noodle seller) in Southeast Asia in the 90s. It's quite different from large corporations getting Fed

The software is never the issue with this, it's where people are that's the problem. Though I did witness my age-peer friend groups finally switching to Signal in the late 2010s (away from Facebook Messenger), I don't actuall

Yeah, I notice something with the size of the vehicle that does this. Shout out to much of Oregon and the much of the non-desert-WA inland PNW for being very nice to pedestrians & cyclists though.

Man I got hit so many times as a cyclist in TX and GA. It took me awhile to realize that in GA, it was sometimes intentional. I hadn't realized how much bicyclists were disliked.

It is the threat of competent violence that keeps me from, say, sunbathing in a park without clothes on, on a nice day. Our world runs on violence, but we mostly try to deny it, because it serves the few that control the many to keep the ma
