  • BREAKING: Musk’s Arsehole-to-Mouth Pipeline Hits Peak Efficiency—Verbal Diarrhoea blasting at Unprecedented Volumes.

    Once more Musk showcases a supreme lack of knowledge. If not for empathy we wouldn’t even have civilisation. Empathy is the social glue that keeps us together. It’s through empathy and cooperation that communities and societies form.

















  • Was listening to my go-to podcast during morning walkies with my dog. They brought up an example where some couple was using ShatGPT as a couple’s therapist, and what a great idea that was. Talking about how one of the podcasters has more of a friend like relationship to “their” GPT.

    I usually find this podcast quite entertaining, but this just got me depressed.

    ChatGPT is by the same company that stole Scarlett Johansson’s voice. The same vein of companies that thinks it’s perfectly okay to pirate 81 terabytes of books, despite definitely being able to afford paying the authors. I don’t see a reality where it’s ethical or indicative of good judgement to trust a product from any of these companies with information.


  • Completely unrelated segue, but your comment reminded me of this one vet appointment I had with my dog.

    He was in for having his teeth cleaned, and came out with his claws trimmed. They managed to cut into his quick on five claws. I don’t even know how they managed to do that, I don’t do that and I don’t have the advantage of him being sedated when I clip them. Then they had the absolute gall to charge me for trimming his claws.

    To top it all off; I had an appointment booked with the groomer next-door a couple of days after that so their “service” was unwarranted and unwelcome.
