#bollox — Public Fediverse posts

After another 'AI Detected' flag, I resorted to Gemini to lay it out.

Gemini produced an entire blog post. It did offer me tips to dumb down my writing, but I declined. I also had NotebookLM create a podcast, cuz that's how I roll.

I've spent the last few hours discussing this point with several LLMs.

If the AI tells are so well-known and predictable, why don't we simply reverse them?

tl;dr? Grok suggested I go all in and pepper my output with LLM-isms just to make a point. Choke the LLM-detectors with their own poison.

I got in a row the other day with a woman, who shared a post with her opinion about the toxicity of persons critical of Mary Sue characters.

After much pushback, she turned off the ability to comment, so she forced my hand to respond otherwise. I resorted to my blog – and here.

As a heterodox thinker, I notice a similar apophatic misalignment as atheists (which is also why atheism isn't a religion).

I lay out why heterodox connexions don't tend to last. It's a feature, not a bug.

I've been rejected again. Should I get a PhD?

People tend to look at peer-reviewed journals as a sign of credibility. I've not written about the nonsense of peer review, but these are unadulterated gatekeeping mechanisms antithetical to knowledge dissemination.

My proof copy was perfect. The system disagreed.

De nieuwe jeugdserie #Bollox, waarin kinderen boos zijn, dit bespreken met Merel Pauw - die snor! 👌 - en een punknummer maken over hun woede. Met een punkband, bijvoorbeeld over vliegen of over jezelf willen en mogen zijn.

Net de eerste twee afleveringen gezien. #VPRO televisie op z'n best. Raar en mooi tegelijk.

I’ve shut down my personal Facebook account — and with it, the Ridley Park page. Years of tolerating bot-infested “moderation” was enough. I may spin up a Ridley-only account later, but for now, the page sleeps.

Popper warned us. Arrow proved it. Churchill quipped about it. Democracy isn’t wisdom in action; it’s chaos with ballots.

@RejoinEU Serious bit of summary comrade. We both knew this was going to happen years ago when the #Brexit #Bollox line was "well, we'll get a better deal with our Yankee friends" . Like fuck we will 'we' said. Apparently 'we' were 'traitors' ahem . Still #StrongerTogether mate. Let me know re #NRM date. I'm persona non grata with our officer class!

#offload #status #update Tough day. I go to a group of non-normative former drug and alcohol users. Always in #recovery. #politics came up. Incl. #brexit . The #LBGTQ+ group sat on their hands (50%) the other 49.5 % fiercely #Brexit #Bollox. The moderator "no politics" Palky (0.5%) say "the personal is the political" Mod. hasn't a clue. Jeez, I'm depressed.

@juglugs Would that be another #Bollox 2 #Brexit #Bonus then?

Letter to magazine:

"I don't know about any of your other readers but I can't wait to have my inbox filled with adverts using Easter-centric puns like #eggcellent and #eggciting". That'll keep me going until the Spooktacular sales in October. Life is just one long fucking thrill ride, I can tell you"

@urzwoo If you knew #Engerland #England you would know why. Years of #Tory #Propaganda #Cakes + #Circuses #TV #Drivel #Education #Class #Elites #Narcissists #Egomaniacs and all the other #Bollox #BS I've lived with for 60+ years. Add an ineffective #Opposition and that's just the start. I will keep the #Red #Flag flying #Bollox2Brexit #MyCountryBack✊🏽 💖 🇪🇺

@stayeuropean
What can I say. We knew that #Brexit was #Bollox from the get-go. I'm surprised it's taken the sheeple so long to catch up. However, if one reads the Fail and watches too much TV what can one expect? #RejoinEU #ToriesOut
