No! :D Either is fine. I will not be killing you.

I don't get on here much! But also I am usually logged in on my other account thanks to weird anxiety . :/

THANK YOU

Absolutely. 😆

It probably helps that my dad is a huge nerd, and it has always been thus

Yeah, my dad nabbed this one somehow and it's fun to have. "Coming May 23rd 1984" always gets me a little

You absolutely did. <3

Temple of Doom on top only so that I can mention that I have a framed original (though small) "coming soon" poster hanging in our hallway.

The way I yelled when you showed up on screen. 😆

I love that there's like ONE throwaway sentence all "we know that some folks have reasonable objections"

I'm truly morbidly curious about the internal convo around this

TL;DR: "We have used an inefficient, inaccurate plagiarism machine with well-documented biases to choose panelists from a pool of the people the machine has stolen from. Since we know the machine constantly makes stuff up, we have also used humans to check its work. This has saved us so much time!"

Anyway I'm still too sick to be very smart so I'll stop here, but sheeesh

Just ... what a bizarre decision. And even if it *did* save the conrunners time (which I question), surely that time savings is not worth the blowback you should have KNOWN was coming, from authors whose work was scraped and included in LLMs? From anyone who understands the complications with genAI?

this whole thing is wild af

NICE
