They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

The big advantage of the Kitri variation is that we're holding (and using)fans.

Replacement ballet teacher, who is a tiny energetic lovely sadistic American, saw us panting at the end of of class in 30 degrees weather and told us with her adorable accent "why don't we try a simplified version of Kitri's Variation".

I'm genuinely obsessed with this book. It's taking me ages to read because I unfortunately don't have the mental bandwidth to sustain nonfic audio reading for long but it's just so enjoyable. It's like attending a very fun lecture every time.
The Michelangelo chapter in Ada Palmer's Inventing the Renaissance was an amazing respite from a shitty day at work. Yes I'm still reading it yes it's been two months look it's a big book.

A reminder: in service to Big Oil, the CIA pioneered disinformation to engineer a coup against Iran's democracy and put in power a monarch so hated it gave rise to Khomeni and today's terrorist Iran. Now the call is again for regime change and forcing that monarch's son into power.

The U.S. helped oust Iran’s government in 1953. Here’s what happened.
The U.S. has not publicly called for regime change in the current Israel-Iran conflict, but over 70 years ago, it played a key role in ousting Tehran’s government.

If a colleague had the reliability rate of an LLM, they would be fired. If ordinary* software did, it would be uninstalled.
LLMs require the chat format, because chat makes us party to the conversation. We insert the meaning ourselves - and hold it to a different standard. It's the mirror effect.

If a human told you things that were correct 80% of the time but claimed, flat out, with absolute confidence, that they were correct 100% of the time, you would dislike them & never trust a word they say. All I'm really suggesting is for people to treat chatbots with that same distrust & antagonism.
