It’s not a hot take. At all. Because I have talked to many folks who have confirmed it’s just “how things used to be”, but: Going out to a diner with a small group and talking is just as valid a way to interact in person with folks in the fandom as going to a convention, if not more so.
@ifixcoinops "I've been thinking a lot about what happened to the Internet lately and what I miss so much about it from when I was young. The original promise was that it would open the entire world of human knowledge to everyone, but instead, the internet today is controlled by algorithms […]
The thing that gets me about LLM boosters is the way they act like they are taking a nuanced stance. LLM haters are just extremists and anti-technology! They don't care about the details and just want to take a "hard no" stance. My stance, on the other hand, is very reasonable and nuanced: LLMs […]
four years ago I posted this image of paleontologist Jan Smit looking at rocks and his son-in-law replied with something even better
"What, then, of this sneering claim advanced by the hecklers, by the detractors of philosophy and the enemies of wisdom, mere boys all of them, what of this claim they shout, that brevity is the soul of wit?

@xkeeper.net it's not just on the main TCRF wiki, that same passage is in the datacrystal Help page also
@xkeeper.net ahahaha omg I know this must suck to deal with but this dude's pissy meltdown is comedy gold
this is what gets me about programmer AI boosters. this shit is destroying the rest of the web and imposing massive costs on everyone else, why should you support it?!
Europeans never met a map they couldn’t fuck up even worse
"you must hand over your ID to visit this random website" used to be a joke because of how obviously stupid it was. It was shorthand for being scammed
Is it even worth writing novels these days given the publishers are all rabid for AI and self publishing is a joke, also flooded with AI? Who's gonna read your work? How would you even distribute it?
@deersyrup you called?
@xkeeper.net "I violated your very clear policies, yes. True. I absolutely didn't read any of your contributing rules before I complained about my contribution being deleted. Fair enough. I hear you saying that you removed said contribution because it violates your rules. Fine. And yes, my […]

@ifixcoinops I don't really consider that "working like normal social media" so much as just "working"
