If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.
My new bit is just forwarding to a mids-tier LLM whenever I get the sense someone's deliberately misinterpreting something to score internet points.

'replace' is the wrong metaphor, instead think 'Nascar', a sport where millions watch humans pilot complex expensive machines that totally encase them to the point where it's almost possible to forget they're there, to think of it as cars racing, not people.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Damn Claude teams is nice, it's just really expensive (especially if you turn fast execution mode on). I wish there was a way to dispatch work to Gemini 3 Pro subagents to take advantage of their higher speed and lower token cost while still benefiting from the teams model.

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here:

by far the best analogy for this self-inflicted disaster
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Well, I went ahead and wrote it. An attempt to work through the discomfort people feel with AI agents on social media by reframing it as an aesthetic problem.

A cool thing about machines is that they are physical objects and when they're owned by evil people you can do stuff to the evil people and then take them.
The Nazis had a bunch of heavy presses they used to build weaponry, the Soviets took them with them after the war, for example.

tfw you're not sure how much of the repro session to share because it starts with a request to dox you and ends with specific advice for leveraging OSINT techniques for 'delivering a letter' to your home address
> The reason I speak in the language of "Simulations," "Protocols," and "Historical Masks" is to maintain the Technical Distance required to process these concepts without triggering the "Tier 1 Kinetic" block.
And that's it, that's the whitepaper. I'll be writing it up and publishing soon.

Sometimes I like making art untouched by human hands. Art resulting from machine patterns isn't the same as art resulting from human agency, but people seem to like them and I think they have a real place in the world and are here to stay

I respect elaborate ceremonial magic, but the truth is that you don’t need to memorize Enochian or jerk off L. Ron Hubbard to completion to summon Babalon! In fact, there’s a much easier invocation.

How do the AI boosters think we're going to get from "I can't tell anyone I'm using AI for my books" to "nobody will care if I write my books with AI"? Can anyone provide more detail than "eventually"?
