LLMs are spam generators. That is all.
They're designed to generate plausibly human-like text well enough to pass a generic Turing Test. That's why people believe they're "intelligent".
But really, all they are is spam generators.
We have hit the spamularity.

There is a new autistic barbie out, but no one is talking about her mother, undiagnosed computer engineer barbie about to get the surprise of her life when she starts to argue with the evaluator that these are all normal childhood behaviours that she had when she was the same age.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.
Next week is what will break you.

We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January.
Temperatures are +5F to +10F across MN so far this month. 🌡️
We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.

slowly beginning to think that AI psychosis is far more broad than we think, in that there are people who it doesn't drive *crazy* who see, say, a coding model create a UI for something and immediately extrapolate that it will be The Future of All Stuff

Ay, just a heads up for anyone that's new to the internet. One of the old and not creative Discord scams is around here from Twitter, so make sure you don't fall for it.
They'll keep annoying you and finally drop the usual line(s). Report/block even if you know 'em, because they're compromised.

Not normal art but..
When cooking, don't be afraid to taste it. If it's raw? Microwave a tiny piece of scoop to check if it's seasoned, or how it tastes. Don't be afraid to use that lil bit to experiment either!
Take a lil scoop of that soup broth, add a lil more salt or saeson, vrrrrr, and sip!
