I use LLMs daily, both personally and professionally, but my family are all knee-jerk opposed to them at a 'tell it to the hand' level.

I have to downplay my usage at home and not mention any projects I have thet involves them.

I'm like a substance abuser who can't stop but is crippled by the familial and societal shame, hiding in the shadows and hurting the ones I love tha most.

I keep seeing ads to mechanically modify the "love stick." 🤨

But wait—God already created the ultimate enlarger (women), and last I checked, they aren't a manufacturing industry.

Why is the algorithm trying to outsource a natural reaction? 🤷‍♂️

🥶 Oh boy, when your smart fridge's LED ad convinces you that you're in a psychological thriller and not just getting a deal on milk! 🤪 Is it time for a firmware update or just a reality check, folks? #TechGoneWrong #ModernProblems

I guess I am just so old that this is simultaneously the weirdest and dumbest two words it’s possible to put next to each other in a sentence: “AI sidepiece.”

Also yet another of the class of #ModernProblems I am thankful I don’t have.

Since I was planning on installing Linux on my current machine, I have to think about what hardware to use. At the moment, the one thing I really need is the ability to connect three screens.

However, since I also use the same screens on another machine, I need to plan the cables first. This is a puzzle in itself, especially given that there are already five screens in total and three systems in place 😇

I’ve lived a long time, and installed a lot of screen protectors on my phone. I’ve followed the instructions to the letter, but have never installed one without at least two permanent air bubbles no matter how careful I was, nor how much I rubbed. #ModernProblems

Ah yes, the modern age #dilemma where you'd never consider downloading an ad, but blocking one? That's just common sense! 😂 Meanwhile, GitHub's throwing #AI at your code like a spaghetti test, while your ad blocker keeps those pesky pop-ups at bay. 🚫🍝

Well, that's new...

My musical choices on youtube just triggered it's suicide prevention splash page and a "You are NOT alone" banner on the subsequent content pages.

Now I feel like I've alarmed someone unnecessarily and have an overwhelming urge to explain that I'm not feeling suicidal, I just like quiet, pensive music. 😬

I suppose I should also thank them for making me experience teen-panic one more time in my life.

There are days when I have to consider that maybe smartphones have contributed a bit to some of the modern problems we see. Then there are the days when I've bought a bunch of groceries, realized I forgot my wallet, and then I give thanks to the gods of technology for bequeathing this magic device into my hands.

Well that's fun. I just read that there AI's can hallucinate, i.e. generate responses that are not reflective of the source data. What could go wrong?

#DailyBloggingChallenge (87/100)

Today the town lost power, which is not a new phenomenon. This time it was during the night. With the lost power the internet is also gone, since there is no power to power the radio towers. If one has access to satellite this probably would persist as long one is accessing it directly to the device.

The first thing I grabbed was my headlamp which is located in my ruck that was close by. Then I went to check if the power outage was my fault before checking outside to see if the street lights are still on.

Scrambled to go find a candle before contemplating what to do next. Either I can wait about four hours until the electricity is up and running or I could go to the next town over which still has its lights on thus most likely also access to internet.

It is quite interesting how dependent we have become to electricity especially in a home setting. When out in nature it is expected not to have electricity, thus there is no shock.

The good thing is that I train regularly how to live without power, so I knew exactly how to react during the initial outage.
