And much of it is very likely born out of humorous usage. Like "pinging" a colleague with a direct message to see if they're online. I might even greet my nerdier IT friends with "SYN" or "EHLO", or a ham with "QSO" in a non-radio context.

I feel called out for being familiar with all of these words.

The dread was building up right until I got jumpscared by"priors"

What exactly would constitute good news about which sorts of humans ChatGPT can eat? The phrase "no news is good news" feels very appropriate with respect to any news related to software-based anthropophagy.

Like what, it would be somehow better if instead chatbots could only cause devastating mental damage if you're someone of low status like an artist, a math pet or a nonwhite person, not if you're high status like a fund manager, a cult leader or a fanfiction author?

Damn, this is how I find out?

Should be embarrassing enough to get caught letting nazis use your publication as a mouthpiece to push their canards. Why further damage you reputation by letting everyone know your source is a guy who insists a cartoon character's real name is a racial epithet? The optics are presumably exactly why the slightly savvier nazi in this story adopted a posh french nom de guerre like "Crémieux" to begin with, and then had a yet savvier nazi feed the hit piece through a "respected" publication like the NYT.

Thank you, Dethklok, not just for this banger of a national anthem but also for summoning the lake troll to put Espoo in its place.

Could have been a cool name for a drag queen, a motorcycle stunt artist, or an eccentric 19th century inventor. On anAI hypeperson it just adds to the vicarious embarrassment.

Sounds just about par for the course. Lasker himself is known to go by a pseudonym with a transphobic slur in it. Some nazi manchild insisting on calling an anime character a slur for attention is exactly the kind of person I think of when I imagine the type of script kiddie who thinks it's so fucking cool to scrape some nothingburger docs of a left wing politician for his almost equally cringe nazi friends.

I'm kind of half looking forward to every soda being sweetened with aspartame or acesulfame potassium, so I can finally quit drinking them. Perhaps blue food might indirectly help people like me eat healthier for a while. Thanks, torment nexus.

Be proud. May the spirit of Doug McIlroy smile at you from heaven. When he gets there one day.
