Security, resilience, common sense. Builds things. Grows things. Writes things. Gives talks about all that. “Funny.” (looking, I assume, they didn’t elaborate)

This is insightful, and mirrors why I think my job as a technical communicator is somewhat safe. Like with detection rules, a knowledgeable person has to write the first one of whatever the LLM trains on when there’s news or new things.
Thoughts on LLMs writing detection rules, and why I’m not impressed:. LLMs are good at one thing – predicting the next most plausible word in a sentence. That’s why most AI-generated detection rules are only good at one thing as well: looking plausible. On first glance they seem.

Town: “We are inspecting homes for water cross-connections and back flow siphoning.”. Me: “Do you have a warrant?”. Town: “What? We aren’t the police.”. Me: <closes door>.

Yeah I had someone accuse me of using AI to write, based on Word turning autocorrecting two hyphens into an em dash for me. You know that LLMs do that because guys like me did that for hundreds of years, right? It’s trained on me, not the other way around.
if you don't want some weirdo on the internet to accuse you of using AI, just STOP using em dashes, semicolons, ellipses, commas, long words, letters,.

If you talk to an LLM like it’s your boyfriend or girlfriend you need a serious, immediate intervention.

Dammit anyhow who picked up the phone I’ve been downloading something all afternoon.
AOL says it will discontinue dial-up internet on September 30. May this sound echo in eternity:.

It‘ll stop happening if you stop making a big deal of it. All manner of crap gets thrown out on fields, courts, and rinks elsewhere, and it just gets removed, and that’s that. Heck, the announcer could just shame the crowd with “there’s kids here, people.”.
BREAKING: WNBA is considering playing with no fans in attendance to prevent dildos from being thrown onto the court.

I willingly had a vegan, gluten free cupcake yesterday and it was good. Must have been made with real vegans!. (I used this joke once for Cajun fries, and the waitress went back to ask. A cook stuck his head out, looked at me, put his hands on the sides of his head in.

Good. It’s his job to get out and fly the flag, and he’s got kids and this is fun. When I travel for work I often add a couple days on (or at least used to, nowadays I just want to hang with my family).
JD Vance is going on a luxury vacation in the Cotswolds at a sprawling manor with two cellars, a tennis court, rose garden, basement gym, and a Georgian orangery. This is after his skiing trip in Vermont, Colosseum trip in Rome, trip to Disneyland, Nantucket, and kayaking trip.

My kids decided I was naughty a few weeks back and sent me to my room. Was nice. Took a nap.

I’m hoping to visit the Fair this year, return to my roots and have some mini donuts, a Pronto Pup, cookies, tacos, all you can drink milk, jerky, foot long hotdog and malt, an apple in the horticulture building, and a nap or two. Not in that order, depends on the gate I enter.
