I wonder what the bofh (for those that don't know, that's the "bastard operator from hell", a fictional snarky IT and devops guy best described as chaotic neutral) would do with this knowledge.

Ngl, that so many businesspeople consider overconfident wild-ass word salad to be expert advice says more about their lived experiences than whether an LLM can do any of that.

I wonder if anyone has tried A-B testing this with real vs LLM input in their workplace in, say, standup or status emails. To see just how much of a typical job has literally no critical thought or feedback behind it.

If that's where most of the value is: plausibly automating busywork, then, well.

Tried and been really liking Pokémon TCGP since the holidays. The faster format and presentation are much more accessible than the mainline Pokémon card apps, being in line with the quality and polish of Magic Duels (at similar expense of a narrower roster of cards and archetypes to work with).

The only reason I don't recommend it is it also has the same aggressive gacha logic that attempts to coerce bad purchasing decisions. But if you already play, I'm 6976-2009-0143-4733 over there!

(For those that know them, this is PhotographOtter and Hiyu. Not sure if they intersect with circles here, but they're both wonderful folks.)

Unrelated to the previous, two friends just got the story of their kidney donation into the Sundance Film Festival: https://bsky.app/profile/joeahunting.bsky.social/post/3ldgvku5e6s2x

Honestly I'm most happy that the operation has worked out for both of them, but this is the second best news I've heard out of the whole thing, and am looking forward to watching it with them.

This article explains the situation better than I ever can, especially the parts about growing up online (my community being therian- and furry-adjacent, and their own journey resonates): https://www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-them/
