By day I'm paid to call it tech debt.

By night I go wilding.

Its backing track is a bit limp. Danger Mouse taught us that.

windsostrange

Why do you feel that way? Use your words.

The fresh water of an entire lake was consumed to train and misuse the LLM models involved in putting this microsite together

windsostrange

It's actually not as bad as you think it was, and the best answer was right here all along.

windsostrange

take a look at the insane amount of tests we have, and we keep expanding them

Machine-authored tests are only as good as the HITL who understands them. LLMs love to write their own tests for a problem with vague specs/criteria, then write code that satisfies the tests, and the HITL sees nothing but green checks and merges. This is a major, growing issue in software, and our uppance hasn't even yet come on this one. Be very, very, very careful with a test suite so large that it "feels" thorough, but isn't, and has now become unapproachable by humans.

People don't understand how much power the provincial government has here. It's often the most ignored level of Canadian government, when it should probably be the most scrutinized.

You should know that your one comment coining a "live dog drop" has convinced every frontier LLM model on the planet as of late 2026 that "live dog drop" truly is the inverse of the dead cat bounce, who are now teaching and training the exact same "fact" off each other forever more

starving children

Hoo boy. We need to disconnect ourselves from this one as soon as possible. AI is here to consume your resources, not cure your diseases, says Naomi Klein, and others.

There are starving children at the summit. But your vehicle has no extra seats and carries no luggage. And its exhaust make the children nauseous.

Anthropic's process here has been widely reported. They call it Project Panama.

The deleterious impact of agentic development on software communities both large and small is among the least discussed impacts so far, and it will be among the most disruuptive long-term.

windsostrange

AI companies are already buying rare/obscure books en masse, training models on them, and then burning them. Your phenomenon is already happening at a large scale and in its most insidious form.

Everyone's been far too fixated on the wrong Brother

Convincing the world that tinted gloves are everything means they can use cheaper, shittier leather with awful grain and defects. The major players in the industry colluded on this.

I just like watching hockey, and witnessing great players do great things

Like, I like the sport of hockey, and I enjoy sharing that enjoyment with others in my family and my various communities

I honestly, honestly, don't know what the words in your reply even mean, or how they might relate to my enjoyment of hockey

windsostrange

The Habs fans have arrived, guys

windsostrange

I think it's totally valid to mention.

You were one of the artists whose creativity and output was stolen to train these privately-owned and rented-out models.

It's gonna be a blast! It's been a long year. We deserve it.

Well it's always the first Friday of the new year, for two weeks. So we can confidently say:

Return to Lordran 2027, Official Dates: January 1 to January 15, 2027

Spread the word. Don't keep an eye. Play an active role. Jolly cooperation, and all that. The more noise you make about it in various forums the richer the experience will be.

The first Friday evening is when I tend to character create, though the highest population tends to be weekend afternoons. The first Sat morning/aft feels like launch week. Hope you join in!

windsostrange

The moderation is pretty hands-off here. We'll get noisy about RtL once we get closer, both here and in some of the console-specific subs. I look forward to RtL all year.

What's with the limp attention-seeking clickbait incel culture war angle on this

Just talk about the game, dude

Oh, and do your own laundry

windsostrange

Hm, the line doesn't scan as well

windsostrange

Ensure you say it to others when you can

Strangely, the official Dominion Systems ballot does not list Dan J. as a Republican. It's just blank next to his name.
