@rumblesan@post.lurk.org @aparrish@friend.camp the eagerness with which people desire to use a tool of nonreproducible, statistical outputs for deterministic tasks is incredibly flabbergasting. until you consider the angle that the tools present as a subservient person to heed their users’ every beck and call.
