Not a real octopus, but a real dad.

Software Engineer, but I like to write.

GenAI should go back into the hole from whence it came.
Man, I need more coffee, because it took me three reads of the headline to not read that the US was going to fight wildfires with cancer.

Honestly, just write more. Gonna be tough now that I'm gonna have a work commute again 😭 It's tough finding time with two small kids.

I think I would have to pick:

Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders
What the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of

I like that this article points out the glaring omission of counterpoint in the original WSJ one. Just lazy, pandering journalism.

No spoilers, I haven't finished it!

I pulled out my physical dictionary and looked up the word, and was able to correctly answer the question. Physical reference texts are awesome.

When I was in the eleventh grade, I carried around a dictionary in my backpack. Once during class discussions, the teacher went through every student one by one asking them to interpret a passage and everyone got it wrong, because they didn't know what one of the words meant, so they had to guess.

I've been quite happy with it, too! They are specifically pushing back against AI (not just the DDG 'you can disable it here' thing).

If they want to make a difference, they could start by banning GenAI and regulating algorithmic feeds. Force the companies be better.

Then, if Brian is Criminal, then Gabe only has two Innocent neighbors, so, per Nancy, Zoe must have fewer. She already has one, so Xena would be Crimihal.

Since Xena is criminal in both scenarios, Xena is a criminal.

At that point, I just tried all the ways.

If Brian is Innocent, then by Anna's clue, Daniel must be criminal. Then by Igor's clue, Zoe is Innocent. Ryan says there aren't exactly two Innocents, so Xena is Criminal. If Brian is Innocent, Xena is Criminal.

"You'll pay more in taxes"

Bro, wait'll I tell you about healthcare premiums.

AI hallucinations become terrifyingly real.
