    I’m sure they feel very clever about it, but they need to never do single letter answers again


  • Yeah, that rubs me the wrong way. I’ve never been diagnosed with anything because that costs money, but if you told me there was a pill I could take that would make my brain work something close to normal, I’d trade almost anything for it

    Like yeah there’s obviously nothing wrong with having ADHD or depression or autism, and also your quality of life is significantly worse if you can’t bring yourself to make phone calls or wake up before noon or remember to brush your teeth every day






  • I use the em-dash a lot. It’s not just about the presence of one, the issue is that LLMs know they exist but don’t know where they go. It’s sort of like a semicolon, which goes where neither a comma nor a period feel right. An em-dashes simply goes where neither comma nor period nor semicolon feels right

    Edit: I should clarify, that’s simply how I use them. I’m not smart enough with words to know stuff like “parenthetical clauses” or w/e. Point being, AI just throws them in like they’re sentence enhancers

    On my keyboard, I just click the button on the bottom left to see punctuation, and then long-press the hyphen

    Correct. We don’t need to make stuff up to hate Disney, there’s plenty enough to hate already

    Brooks told The Wall Street Journal: “This was a treasured episode. There are a lot of great memories we have wrapped up in that one, and this certainly doesn’t allow them to remain. I’m against book-burning of any kind. But this is our book, and we’re allowed to take out a chapter.”

    Death of the author, Brooks. You don’t get to tear a page out of an already published book.

    That said, Disney’s decision not to show that episode is a separate one. Both parties suck tbh
