i read the words "hex editor" wrong and for a brief moment i imagined a world a lot more fun than this one.

every conversation about the potential usefulness of AI, divorced from ethical concerns, is just this dril tweet

i am so tired of "ethical concerns aside" being a phrase i see every single time someone tries to defend the use of LLMs. fuck that! ethical concerns front and fucking center! it is very revealing that tech is currently in such a state that the quiet part can be said out loud without any pushback.

I've had this in my head for ages, so here you go.

"uefi", pronounced "yiffy"

"AI Self-preferencing in Algorithmic Hiring: Empirical Evidence and Insights"

https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.00462

"Using a large-scale controlled resume correspondence experiment, we find that LLMs consistently prefer resumes generated by themselves over those written by humans or produced by alternative models, even when content quality is controlled. The bias against human-written resumes is particularly substantial, with self-preference bias ranging from 67% to 82% across major commercial and open-source models."
