holy crap, that is awful

Oooo that's a good one!

Mars in the final degrees of ♓. The overwhelm is real. A potentially hectic, confusing wrap up of all that has been before the warrior comes home to ♈ setting off those brand new epic cycles. There's finality here, this last transition between endings and new beginnings. What cords have to be cut?

"PsAIchosis" needs to be a term.

Psychosis developed from using AI. It's real, and it's scary.

I'm starting to develop a theory that demons are using LLMs as a portal to possess their users.

I'm only half joking.

Like... the personality change, the zombification, that occurs in chronic users... It's actually scary. I wish I could snap these people out of it.

Even if they manage to spit something out that does make sense for the situation (which is rare), the voice is so saccharine, so... wrong... offputting...

It is insulting and disrespectful to your recipient.

Please, stop using these horrible machines.

So many times lately, I've had to scratch my head and ask myself, "how the hell am I supposed to answer that drivel?" when a colleague sends me something vomited from a LLM.
It's nonsense. It's chaotic. It isn't relevant. Stop!

People who use LLM's completely to communicate, please read this:

You sound utterly stupid. Ironically, in trying to sound smart, you are only betraying your ignorance. People who really know the topic can see right through you.

Use your own voice, I'm begging you.

The ancient Greeks described it as being possessed by the muses. It sure feels that way in the process!

Just super disappointed with humans today.
(Time to sleep before I bite someone's head off.)

lol, overheard someone say that nowadays everyone wants to be part of a village but doesn't want to be a villager. And I can't stop thinking about it.

Same. Instead I have PTSD from trying to survive as a musician and failing.

We are our safety net. youtu.be/6jSnZFoAnNw?...

Start by building the safety net. Then strike.

Oh yes, let's share memes and outrage on Signal, that'll really SHOW THEM

😑

And it gets worse. They are planning to turn around and make us pay for the information they stole from us. By the word. "Tokens" as they are calling it.

Same for female influencers as well, but they just have different ways of being idiotic.

The amount of power these influencers have over young men, is absolutely immense. And the way these bozos not only squander, but ABUSE, their power and give them absurd, life-destroying advice, is absolutely vile.
It makes me wish there were a God and a judgment day.

I'm begging, pleading, imploring male influencers....
Please, please, please, PLEASE, start telling young men that it's manly to take medication if they need it. Medication is not a deep state conspiracy oh my fucking god.

Burn. It. All. Down.

Ha! Good one

Wow, what incredible, incredible history! I am so glad to have found you!
Extremely interested. 👀

Sigh.
Trump is not the problem. He is a symptom. This disease has been festering for decades.
We are all complicit. Both parties are lying to us.
Look up.

Agree, same.

Do not... I repeat... Do NOT allow your computer to "update" your OS under these skies!

What's the worst part of this exchange? The antisemitic slur? Hyper-fixating on irrelevant, tedious minutiae? The disregard for positional dignity? The AI-slop response?
So hard to choose!

(We are in the worst of all timelines...)

To my Saturnian siblings: I believe you. Life is, actually, on hard mode for us. We're not making it up.

The best part of having a strong Saturn (sarcasm font) is how people don't believe you about your incredibly bad luck.

Things that *just magically work* for everyone else, *always go wrong in every possible way for you*, but when you complain about it, people think you're being negative. 😑

Attention to people living in Illinois, Chicago: you have until Thursday to register a formal message to the state legislature that requiring age verification to install Linux is a horrible idea. This doesn't require writing anything, just filling out a form. Click through this quoted post:

Like all times in history, there will be societal changes that can only best be understood by understanding the philosophical currents underpinning them.

And, oh, there will be incredible works of art.
