@evilstevie @meltedcheese @mjd sometimes I can fix my wife's computer problems just by walking into the room. She says her laptop is afraid of me 😆😅

Yes it runs (free)doom

@evilstevie @meltedcheese I carry a full set of bits also, a zero *and* a one.

That's a good idea. You can never find one when you need it.

A COMPUTER CANNOT FIND OUT

THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO FUCK AROUND

We went from precise web search with boolean operators to "natural language models" of AI search.

You can tell nuerodivergent, Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, etc folks created the early internet...

...and you can tell that neurotypical folks are now leading the current overlays of the internet.

We used to have very precise search mechanisms. Specific words found in web pages with boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, etc) to filter out the web pages that contained specific words and did not contain other words.

Now, we search for web sites (or don't even search for web sites, yay abstraction layers that separate us from actual raw information) using "natural language" to try and coax out info.

Have you ever been frustrated when you use very precise and direct language to communicate a specific idea with someone who then takes those specific words and adds obscure meaning and connotations and personal fears and bias to what you said... thus completely misunderstanding you... only to then try and clarify what you said with more precise language only to have that further degrade the conversation?!

Yeah. That's the internet with AI "search" now.

They took something that worked precisely and directly and muddied it.

We've introduced the "double-empathy problem" to web search.

I'm noticing that everyone in my circles, family, and especially work that are nuerotypical LOVE LOVE LOVE the new AI search mechanisms. They'll tell me exactly what the answer they received was - regardless of whether it's right or has multiple possible and conflicting answers. They just repeat what the AI said like it was the Gospel Truth.

And they love talking to it like it was a "real person."

It certainly takes my search parameters and adds its own interpretation to which I have to clarify and correct which is then misinterpreted further...

I haven't tried vibe coding, but I can only imagine the horror.

Can you imagine vibe pentesting with Claude / Mythos?!?!?!

You know how neurodivergent folks gravitated towards IT because it was precise?

Yeah, that's gone now.

Still feeling wonky after getting dental work done, so for today please enjoy this May Day-themed image of Bigbot from a calendar a few years back.

This is the most specific job I have ever seen sharing it on the off chance one of you know someone who:

- Is UK based
- Looking for flexible, part time work
- Has an academic/research background
- Wants to build a research grants program
- Loves hedgehogs 🦔🦔🦔

I should not have to spend any of my time keeping an organisation like Palantir out of the NHS. This should be a given on national security grounds alone, but for many more reasons beyond that. Unbelievable honestly

"The Mastodon time line is empty and boring"
Listen, I posted the picture of a couple of poorly panted Warhammer miniatures, got a few likes, looked at who liked it and followed those who seemed to boost a lot, and now I am awash of photos of gorgeously painted miniatures!

Your timeline is as alive (or dead) as you make it!

Heute wäre Sir Terry Pratchett 78 Jahre alt geworden.

@mattround oh no it has gone rogue

At some point the corporations realized that Clarke's logic works in reverse, and any sufficiently advanced sleight of hand is indistinguishable from technology

Does anybody here do custom ASCII-art animations? I'd like t o commission something — not right away, but soon.

Boosts? Appreciated. Hotel? Trivago.
