Ah man, if there’s one thing autistic kids love, it’s the sudden and arbitrary removal of an object they depend on!

Yeah I really really hate the fanfic manifesto and people getting deep feels about it. Such a neat little narrative that conveniently references every authentic detail people have already dug up. It’s in such bad taste ugh.

What’s Kudu exactly? The tech bullshit I’ve been able to find was impenetrable to me.

Do we agree that

When students have questions about course material, they’ll have the option of asking Kudu for help. But unlike ChatGPT and other public large-language models, Kudu will draw information only from the resources Stahuljak has uploaded.

is a straight up lie? That’s not how LLM chatbots work. It’s going to be a kitchen sink LLM with some stupid “you’re a very nice and very smart comp lit professor” prompt engineering, right?

How do you tell? Well when you’re reading something that’s pretending to be text and you come across, say

We wander through the fields of green,
And breathe the fresh air that's so serene

the body has a natural wincing reaction.

Oh thank you so much for writing this, and for linking Ernest Davis’s paper. I saw a few of those headlines and I was mortified, as someone who is more annoyed than is healthy with GPT’s futile and incredibly easy to recognise attempts at producing the illusion of poetry.

Looking at the collection of poems is just maddening. There is no way the difference isn’t obvious to anyone who’s ever willingly read a poem, and the authors of the paper must know it. Disgusting.

Man that page has got some really wild sentences.

Park’s claims that human corpses commonly float down North Korean rivers were criticized by Swiss businessman Felix Abt, who lived and worked in the DPRK for seven years.

Now I don’t know if there’s any validity to her claim, but love the expert testimony from Swiss entrepreneur who’s been allowed to tour Pyongyang for a bit.

The particular way they invoke Bayes’ theorem is fascinating. They don’t seem to ever actually use it in any sort of rigorous way, it’s merely used as a way to codify their own biases. It’s an alibi for putting a precise percentage point on your vibes. It’s kind of beautiful in a really stupid sort of way.
