Seeing people, especially ones who should know better, "confirm" something about how an LLM-based chatbot works by asking it as if the model possesses unique introspective power about itself drives me batshit.

@ifixcoinops@retro.social Where does "I have a domain name and a thing hosted at that domain; technically the actual site is hosted by someone else but I control the content on it and point my domain at their servers" fall

@ticky@slime.global Good lord everything about the marketing for this site is nauseating. Even if it wasn't vibe coded I wouldn't want to touch it.

@mynotaurus@floofy.tech @sudo_EatPant@critter.cafe Together with the ID verification requirements I think you'd end up with like 10 people there

@violanders @weirdestate Fascinating, thanks for the article! It is supremely funny to me that the seller is surprised that people in the market for a $1.5M apartment... kind of want a bedroom?

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange Legendary moment holy shit. And the fact that he got it because the previous owners finally flew too close to the sun and started actually infringing...

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange This is something I've been noticing online for... a while and your explanation makes a lot of sense. Just two people who clearly actually agree arguing with imaginary versions of each other that they're both mad at. It's maddening.

@mynotaurus@floofy.tech Very much enjoy that everyone is trying to wield their 3D printers at this and you're like "what if I used scissors and a little £1 fabric doohickey"
Tbh the thing that really strikes me watching old ABC episodes of Battlebots is how much... better the production value is compared with the Discovery-produced seasons. More interesting shots/dynamic camera movements, that sort of thing. It's hard to qualify exactly how most of the time but it's immediately apparent. There's one moment from the first episode where the loser is shown looking kinda glum post-fight and the shot is perfectly framed so that you can see the shattered wreck of his bot in the box behind him.
Of course, I'm just happy we're getting new Battlebots soon at all... even if it's sponsored by the bastards making sysadmins' lives hell right now. May they burn all their money on stupid bullshit and go bankrupt.
Watching Drew Gooden is my one window into the fascinating world of mainstream social media, where eating an entire block of cheese followed by a tub of sweetened yogurt with more sugar and cookies on top is healthy because it's high in protein.

@nycki Huh, this makes me want to try converting my old phone. Not like I'm going to be able to do much else with it now.

@hakona@im.alstadheim.no @FediTips@social.growyourown.services It's trying to mimick the ingratiating corporate tone that large US-based services use. It's not a particularly good imitation though (comes across as a bit dated) and people definitely don't speak that way in a personal context.
