@brian_gettler@mas.toAfter reading a term paper that demonstrated nothing more than the "author's" brainless use of a brainless statistical model to brainlessly vomit brainless prose, I'm deeply grateful for the flawed result of human thinking that turned up second in the grading pile. It's not amazing but it's really not bad and, more importantly, it shows the student learned something. If nothing else, LLMs have given me a new appreciation for the imperfect but honest work we produce …
@katrinakatrinka@infosec.exchangeI'm listening to #BehindTheBastards' 5-part series about the development of mutually-assured destruction nuclear stockpiles.
If you're from a different generation and ever wondered why GenX are like we are, it's from being raised as unsupervised, latch-key kids and knowing we could die at any moment in a nuclear holocaust.

When my love swears that she is made of truth,
I do believe her though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutored youth,
Unlearned in the world's false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue:
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed:
