I hate that I hate the word "flibbertigibbeting" now. It really seems like it would be My Kinda Word. Am I making sense to you, <my therapist's name>?

#5122, With Shane Parish, 'Autechre Guitar', In-Studio | New Sounds | WNYC American guitarist Shane Parish (Aleuchatistas, Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet) plays his improbable arrangements of pieces by the English electronic music duo Autechre, in the studio.

I stopped by the WNYC studios in Manhattan to record an episode of New Sounds with John Schaefer. We discuss Autechre Guitar and I play live in-studio acoustic fingerpicked versions of Eutow, Slip, and Yulquen. As well as “Birthday” by the Sugarcubes.

Tristan AND Isolde? In this economy?

can lend you all but one of those, MP3s otherwise. all masterpieces!

I am tired of having to constantly come up with bullshit Goals. You give me Tasks, I complete them in exchange for Money, the end.

To be clear, I don't believe that LLMs are any more intrinsically anti-labor than, say, the dot product operator is anti-labor.

But the way they're being forced upon us is transparently, maddeningly anti-labor — at least for those of us who have been in the workforce for more than a few months.

"Have you tried doing that with Layoffs?"

"Are you excited about today's Layoffs-ifying Engineering presentation?"

"Today I was listening to a podcast which interviewed the creators of Layoffs."

Imagine that you, dear reader, have a rare neurological condition whose only symptom is — instead of hearing the word "Claude", you hear the word "Layoffs".

Consider how this would affect your workday!

I promise you that more people at your workplace have this condition than you think.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
