Grumpy ol' codger. Ham since '92 or somethin'.

I'm not the Elephant Man; also not an elephant, man.

It's not that I don't WANT you to follow me. It's that I didn't know that feature existed, until I bumped into it on someone else's profile. So now you know.

@mntmn I'm pretty mad about its vs it's being the little $#!+ that breaks what is otherwise a pretty reliable "rule" of English. Grr.

@nycki@bark.lgbt This is beautiful and helpful. And it uses the word "poop" five times. So you know it's legit.

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io I keep telling my co-workers that if I could, I'd grab Clippy right off the screen, bend him open, and shove the two parts into the 20A socket behind the dryer.

@josh@masto.byrd.ws Oh, and now there's #ChatGPT & other #LLM (what ignorant people, i.e. CEOs, call #AI ). You can now take {shit-idea} and feed it to an LLM & tell it to write a convincing article, post, email, YouTube short, whatever the F you want, "and make {shit-idea} sound reasonable". If democratized publishing is a forest fire of bad info, this LLM craze is air-drops of napalm.

@josh@masto.byrd.ws Proverbs 22:6 is true when talking about truth. Sadly, it is also true when talking about racism, classism, fascism, etc. Train them as children to be wrong-headed in any way, and they'll tend to still think that way when they're old. Give them access to un-gate-kept other stupidity and the result is the society that we now see all around us.

Replying to @josh@masto.byrd.ws

@josh@masto.byrd.ws The arguments made here about access to information have some merit. But there’s more to it. It’s also (much more, I believe) the democratization of publishing. It used to be hard to get your ideas out there because there were gatekeepers who would reject the stupid, the crazy, & the poorly written. Now you can get your $#!+ out there despite being all three.

@futurebird@sauropods.win True story: met a dude @ a party @ a neighbor/friend’s house. He seemed like the one guy least fitting-in with the collection of guests. Dressed a little less casual than everyone else, etc. Since I am usually the least comfortable one @ a party, I went & engaged w/ him. Asked what he does. “I’m in sales; I sell surfactants.” “What are surfactants?” “They’re chemicals that have a surfactant effect.” “So you don’t know what that word means, either. Have a good eve.”

@ai6yr It's important for you to know that you're not in the clique. Apparently.

@aurynn@cloudisland.nz @Geoff_Campbell@hobbs-end.uk Advertising is always evil, right up to the point that you have an idea for a product that could improve people’s lives, be affordable, and you just need some way to let people know it exists… hmm… how to do that…
