Quakertown fucking sucks

Even with little usage it was fairly obvious to me that the probability that an LLM will output at least one very strange response over time approaches 100%.

By themselves, they’re just sophisticated chatbots and only stream out some characters or binary in response to a prompt.

Those working in agentic AI frameworks with things like “MCP Servers” provide these things with “tools” that enable them to do things like execute shell commands and go through your inbox the same as if it were chatting with a person or another bot: with the same prompt and response paradigm.

That’s where it seems extremely obvious to me that the proper approach is to code these tools – which in any sane framework are built using regular code – with the governance in place to prevent these things from doing bullshit like this.

The LLM is formatting your computer or deleting your inbox because some dumb fuck thought it was a great idea to code up tools that hand a chatbot a root-capable shell or complete access to your email system instead of the doing the obviously safer thing and coding the tools with the governance or safety in them so the chatbot going haywire isn’t any kind of emergency at all.

This is the 2026 equivalent of running Windows XP with its abundance of open ports in its default configuration on the Internet by running a cable modem directly into the computer with no router or firewall in between to protect it.

It’s pure slop, pure recklessness, and any company that produces tool chains that function this way should be ridiculed until the end of time.

Look, man. We know. You’ve practically already done it.

Duuurrrrrrrrrrrr

As someone looking for a different job, it shows.

And those “real” posts

At this point, it’ll cause a disaster and they’ll still keep going.

Yep there is a deep attachment amongst AI boosters to certain doom and gloom scenarios that stem from their philosophical “think tanks” which use imaginary problems (e.g. “AGI ‘misalignment’ destroying the world through turning everything into paperclips”) to lobby and alter our laws to benefit their real bosses – anthropic, open ai, and friends.

Profitability has pretty much nothing to do with stock prices these days.

It’d be hilarious if bad bunny ran for president.

I want eat the rich the game

I hate it, but it’s not a bad way to crowd out the competition over time, Idiocracy style.

I just realized while walking my dog today that a new hard line for me with Democrats is that if you accept corporate / billionaire PAC donations, I’m not donating to your campaign.

I cannot continue to pretend like you will actually give a fuck about my interests when you got into office using mostly money from sources that are actively working against my interests.

I’ll still vote as left as possible in both the primary and the general regardless, but I’m through giving campaign contributions to candidates where my money – and therefore my influence – is a drop in the bucket.

And I will seriously consider voting for just about anyone else left of him in the primary. No offense to him, he seems like a very solid dude, but the time for half-measures, centrists, and people that believe institutions will save us is well beyond over.

It’s kinda sorta not a game in many ways but dispatch did a decent job I thought.

The infinite scroll goes hand in hand with that type of algorithm. Even if there isn’t more content, some versions of the infinite scroll keep loading assorted shit you’ve already seen before.

It’s also part and parcel of a mindset switch from looking at some content on a fixed number of pages and then moving on with your day, to pushing the screen up forever even if you’ve already seen most of it.

It also usually makes it so that you cannot bookmark the state, and the state often reloads fresh when you hit back and you’ve lost what you’re looking at.

In other words: it fucking sucks and I hate it.

Because all infinite scrolling does is remove to annoyance of hitting next page

That is definitely not all it does.

YouTube comments are almost never worth reading in the first place (top comment is usually: who is here in <<current year>>? 😆). I never look at the descriptions, and the only time I watch YouTube is for either music videos or concert captures or links someone has sent me. Congrats YouTube, I don’t care about any of the features you turned off.

Just too old, and just too sold.

I thought about lying on my last report but decided to not. At this point they’re going to have to fire me if they can’t accept the truth. I’m not lying to save my skin.
