I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

And why the fuck can't I finish that Kylux fic that is currently sitting on AO3 at 12 chapters out of 13 complete, haha
I know exactly what is going to happen in the last chapter as well. I've had it plotted out since chapter 2

I was writing a medium-length fic before I got Covid & was about 80% finished, but being sick stopped me writing and now I have 0 motivation to finish
So I've started writing something new, lol. I'm at 5k and this is starting to look like a monster. 100k maybe?
Why couldn't I finish the other one

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.
Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

I was so bummed to be too busy with moving to draw more for Halloween so I'm making up for lost time- only to get an eye infection so I had to squint through painful eyes to finish this painting 😭
The forest behind our new house is full of heathers, and it made me think of a broom made of heathers

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

I went to the dentists today and half my mouth got numbed
I just accidentally brushed my fingers against my face and was about to freak out because there was something slimy there, and then I realised it was my lip covered in lip balm 😅

I'm playing Final Fantasy X for the first time in about 20 years and am about 12 hours in. I remember most of the big story twists and turns (nothing so far has been a surprise), but I remember nothing about the actual game.
Where am I going next? No idea.

The future of JL8 is in doubt due to my financial situation, so I'm having a sale in hopes of raising funds to continue. Think of it like a PBS pledge-drive. This comic can continue with support from Readers Like You.

I think I'm finally recovered from my little tussle with Covid. Been back in the office this week and I basically felt like myself again. I still have a cough, but even with basic colds my cough tends to linger

Went until the office today and quickly realised that was a bad idea. Came back home after a couple of hours and will work from home for the rest of the week
At least I can nap at home, lol

I'm not normally one to boast about my AO3 stats, but my Superbat Big Bang fic hit 1000 kudos today and another Superbat fic hit 3000 today
As I'm still sick and still testing for covid, I'm taking any win I can 😅
