You are deluding yourself if you think that books are immune to AI slop.

Enshittification is coming for all things. It'll take a lot of careful human curation to keep finding the value among the deluge of crap.

Today I asked AI to remove all the lines in a file that had some string in them.

It worked. I felt awful thinking how much power I wasted doing that when I could have just read the man page of sed or awk.

I did, and it was ridiculously easy to do what I needed with a fraction of the power. And I got some nice knowledge to go with it, that I proceeded to add to my aliases file.

I'm not afraid of AI. I have a local instance to play with. The technology is just too wasteful and fallible as it stands today.

I was expecting Comic Sans.

Stargate SG1, a beer, some nachos and nobody else home.

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of their women!

Just checked, my local llama.cpp instance is still up. No, you can't use it.

Legendary. Bear in mind that a lot of The Pogues' lyrics are about getting hammered.

I see what you mean, and I have that (old PC with a bunch of 2.5" HDDs formatted as ZFS).

For me power consumption is more important than performance, so I'm looking for a lower power solution for photo sharing, music collection and backups.

Just another reason not to buy earbuds. You are sticking a fairly large amount of power inside your ear.

I care enough that the words "I care a lot" trigger a song from Faith No More to start playing in my head.

I'm ready for the return to webrings.

I'm surprised at how much more methodic and organized I've become. Taking notes to get thoughts out of my head helps me reduce brain clutter.

Turning chores into pleasurable activities (podcasts while cleaning or cooking) also helped.

I've also grown more patient with other people's actions. People don't usually act with malice, more often it is just plain inability.

Also, very little fucks remain to be given.
