Explain your @

20 years ago I joined Outpst Gallifrey under the name of Antbert, which was inspired by several of the names of Dilbert characters. *sigh*

Had fun on the forum, mainly avoiding the serious sections, as they were too serious.

Explain your @

Way back in 2002, when I was first looking for a handle for a forum that's now long gone, a friend of mine (who's sadly long gone as well now) suggested "Doctor Filth" from Dylan's 'Desolation Row'; that was too long for that forum's software, and so DocFilth it was.

QTP with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers.

Hard Mode: No Gundam Series,Battletech or Macross allowed.
A panel from the Dan Dare strip in the new Eagle. A medical robot called JJ is telling Dare that his friend Robinson is dead. Robinson broke a device giving the Mekon control of the ship they are flying, which discharged, killing him. Robinson is an astronaut. Not much of JJ can be seen, apart from a chunky torso and the head, which has a grille for a mouth and a screen showing angled lines like an oscilloscope for eyes.

Oh - the animations in the middle of the London Eye aren’t added to the feed digitally. Instead they set up a small Hologauze projection right in front of the camera so it appears like it’s in the middle of the Eye. Why?! Somehow that’s worse?

Watching Jaws.

The music just as they find the sucken boat at around 48 minutes, reminds me of an unused piece for A New Hope.

Then I remembered John Williams wrote both... 👀

It's pretty imperative that every artist should get their stuff off of Twitter now lest it be thrown into Grok image/AI gen. I'm so glad I left that dumpster fire long ago

Also included the full post with alt text. The post is insufferably long
Post from Aaron Day on Twitter/X: For You "Elon Saved Free Speech" White Knight Assholes: Read the New Terms of Service Released Today X just updated their Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Here's what you agreed to: AI TRAINING RIGHTS GRAB: Everything you post becomes training data for their AI models. Every thought, opinion, creative work. You're building their models for free. No compensation. No opt out. PERPETUAL CONTENT LICENSE: They get a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute your content "for any purpose" in "any media now known or later developed." Forever. They can sell it. Give it to governments. Anything. FORCED JURISDICTION: All disputes must be filed in Tarrant County, Texas. You waive the right to join class actions. If they wrong millions of users, you sue alone in THEIR court. ARBITRARY TERMINATION: They can delete your account "for any other reason or no reason at our convenience." Years of content, connections, reputation. Gone. Zero due process. $15,000 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: Access more than 1 million posts in 24 hours and you owe $15,000. Per million. Journalists and researchers investigating the platform face financial ruin. GOVERNMENT DISCLOSURE: They reserve the right to hand your DMs, drafts, and entire history to governments based on what they "reasonably believe" is necessary. ANTI-JAILBREAK CLAUSE: Testing their AI systems, exposing censorship mechanisms, or security research is now explicitly a Terms violation. They added "prompt engineering or injection" to prohibited conduct. ONE YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS: Discover they harmed you after 366 days? You "forever waive the right" to pursue any claim. MAXIMUM LIABILITY $100: They destroy your business, reputation, or life through negligence? Maximum recovery: one hundred dollars. Free speech platform. Sure.

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.
Andrew Kadel @DrewKadel@social.coop My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen. Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again: When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?" If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing! But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else. It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.
