Remember to pop your filter bubble every so often. If you think you're not in one, you're trapped in one and in for a rude awakening.

AI psychosis thing 

I keep seeing ppl say that AI psychosis only affects people predisposed to psychosis, (whatever they actually mean by that cuz it's vague af) but if this article is to be trusted, then a majority of the victims actually have no prior history of mental illness

llm stands for little loser machine. Because just using it even a little makes us all losers.

the 555 timer is 55 years old, so if we celebrate on the 5th of May it can be the 555's 55th on 5/5.

“Behold,” declares the AI bro, “we have created a new mind!”

“Behold,” I declare as I a hold a seashell up to his ear, “I have created a new ocean!”

Folks, if you're going to have a third-party antivirus/security program on your PC, then please keep it up to date. If you decide to let the subscription lapse, then uninstall it.

With an expired subscription, security/antivirus programs are so much worse than useless. It refuses to work AND prevents the built-in Windows Defender from working.

This PSA is brought to you by a McAfee trial that expired 400 days ago.

people in the hacker culture of the early 2000s: "there is no patch for human stupidity"
