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

I think god is dead for sure

Sometimes you just want to look at some colorful "no known copyright" endpapers. Feel free to reuse!

These are all from books published between 1890 and 1930. Scanned by the Bergen Public Library in Norway.

i really need stable income but since jobs aren't real anymore i'm taking any help i can get. i have a ko-fi you can send money to and there's even some pins left to buy there. i have a patreon where i don't have any rewards because i couldn't think of any and nobody has suggested any yet. you can also get a pixel portrait for a very reasonable price. or you can tell your employer about me

Weather.gov is back to the way it's been for a while. Local forecasts are accessible in JS-disable and JS-free browsers again.

I hope they got complaints of the sort I could only send into the void and realized what they undid was a bad decision.

@arielmt seems like it's fixed now? Perhaps a very dumb way for them to temporarily disable that page.

The irony of complaining about websites turned applications is not lost on me, one who runs and pays the bills for a website turned application that I'm using to voice that complaint.
