Speaking of LLMs as the enshittification du jour, the lawyer who had ChatGPT do his homework for him: futurism.com/the-byte/lawyer-c

Depressingly got away with it via a punishment a lot less severe than the disbarment he deserved: futurism.com/the-byte/lawyer-c

All this does is perpetuate the soul-destroying bullshit's appearance as the new hype.

This isn't the future I was promised.

LLMs, in the context of online and meatspace enshittification, are "large language models." The invisibly-failing & gatekept ripoff ChatGPT is simply the most famous LLM.

Folks, I'm really sorry. Computer Fairies went down because I made a stupid mistake. I gave the site host a CC to hold & draw payment from, but it expired last month, and I forgot to give them a new CC until today. Again, I'm really sorry about the downtime.

Space Karen, fundamentally broken walled-garden search 

What the you, HellTube? When I search YouTube for "billionaire dies on Mars," I kind of think the results should *not* consist exclusively of not-billionaire conspiracy theories, Elon Musk not on Mars, and Elon Musk not dying.

Today's tech support patient took a whole hour to boot up, and the history suggests that wasn't new. (Removing the long-expired McAfee LiveSafe trialware helped by orders of magnitude.)

Me: MS Teams channels cannot contain MS-DOS device names?? Good lord

Friend: No this makes sense, it's a chain of dependencies. Every teams channel is a SharePoint folder

@noiob @typhlosion slightly wider apart*

@noiob @typhlosion The AT deviated quite a bit from the 5150 and 5160. To fit either one, you'd have to modify the mobo screw holes to hold the mobo, and you'd have to remove and design in a whole new expansion backplane because the expansion slots are slightly wider as well. It can be done, but it can't be done with a modern stock case, gaming or otherwise.
