Put this rapier together from a 45” Castille blade, a pommel and Thibault-style guard from Darkwood, and a grip that I made from PVC pipe, thermoplastic, and stingray leather.

OpenAI is a particularly amazing example of the problem AI has which is that the only way to convince people to use it is to make it do things which make it more expensive, but which nobody in their right minds would ever pay for

Apple hid content & privacy options relating to #AI under "Screen Time" under settings. Content and privacy have NOTHING to do with screen time. Filing the former in the latter hides options so that Apple can steal our content to feed their plagiarism-ecocide machines. #books #history #artstory

Me: "Nothing I guess. It's just very ominous to suddenly hear a pitch pipe from the hallway."
