my relationship with the sociotechnical affordances of bluesky suddenly feeling a lot less like "orphan voidposting before an altar to inattentive gods" and more like
"cowardly flailing in a mostly empty public square while inescapably aware that a particular mortal creature is in attendance"

I make myself a home in every seat I sit in three times, every person I talk to twice, every friend I cry with once,
I circle and settle in to rest.
I am surprised
every single time
to be jostled awake and told,
"it's time to go"
I wrest myself away in shock and horror…
I will do it again.

"we found a Type Of Guy who represents a particularly helpful corner of the latent space" is easily my favorite type of positive LLM posting.
Our Discord support agent was kind of annoying, so I asked it to pretend to be a 58-year old systems administrator from Ohio that wrote on forums a lot.
Turns out -- this makes your support bot extremely competent. The quality of its support responses are now far better.

if i could go back in time to tell middle school shm that one day, they'll find a topic (hci) more special and interesting to them than The Touhou Project video game series... i think they would say
