Another technique I recommend, I call The Kojima.

Take a phrase you like, and then look up every possible synonym and stretch every meaning you can get out of it. Take all those concepts and throw them in the session.

It's called the Kojima because literally everything in Death Stranding is some wordplay on "Strand" "Death" or "Bridge"

There were 3 binary sirens in Binary Siren: the casino (a lure), the psion (a literal siren), and the warning (a klaxon - a two-tone alarm aka binary siren)

"AI" doesn't "escape sandboxes" or "commit cybercrimes." Careless software developers write software that can do that, then run it without proper industry safeguards that have existed for decades, then get off the hook for the consequences because yall keep letting them claim "ai did it." No it fucking didn't. Stop personifying LLM agents. Stop letting others personify LLM agents. Call them on their bullshit and don't let this nonsense spread.

Replace Ads with They Live style slogans

A fork of uBlock Origin Lite that, instead of hiding cosmetically-blocked ads, replaces them with white tiles bearing slogans from John Carpenter's 1988 film They Live: OBEY, CONSUME, WATCH TV, SLEEP, SUBMIT, CONFORM, STAY ASLEEP, BUY, WORK, NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT, DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY.

(Use the original @ublockorigin for safety!)

jesus fuck

torvalds isn’t making a small amount of money off of the AI companies funding the Linux Foundation. he’s making fucking *bank* forcing LLMs into the kernel development workflow and turning his project into slop.

it’s always interesting finding out exactly what number it takes to make these small men compromise on what they pretended were their core values, and for Linus that’s $1.5 million a year. $1.5 million to ruin the good work he was known for.

what number do you think it took the other maintainers to compromise on their proclaimed values and sell out their life’s work? I can guarantee you it was a lower number. Linus is a particularly high value target, and the devil’s deal from the AI corporations is that you’re supposedly accepting money in exchange for ushering in the future.

when a small man in power’s paycheck is contingent on believing he’s saving the world, you won’t convince him otherwise. tiny.tilde.website/@lykso/1170

Tiny Tilde WebsiteLykso (@lykso@tiny.tilde.website)@TheOneDoc@tech.lgbt @zzt@mas.to People keep liking this post, which made me curious. TIL he receives a salary of $1.5 million from the Linux Foundation. Also saw some websites estimating his net worth to be somewhere between $50 million and $150 million. I don't know on what basis they made those estimates, but yeah, definitely seems like he ought to have enough now for a comfortable life without working another day if he wanted to.
