Do you know of this account?

It's interesting how these images are similar.

So... *don't* build the torment nexus? Whoa...

@cardamomaddict

hmmm... Yes good point. But on the other hand sometimes one is hungry and coconut is crunchy and fun to eat next to the fridge.

@lffontenelle

This is exactly what they said it was like.

Little melodramatic. It's just an ant coming for you relentlessly, inevitably, inescapable... no need to freak out.

I'll be there soon.

@cardamomaddict

Why is there the coconut if not for being eaten? That is what I would like to ask this person.

@PetitPas

Perfect little triangle of a nose.

They are running ads for it on TV?

I can not *prove* that boiling the water outside makes the tea taste better. It should be fine to make it with the kettle inside, and put it in a good thermos for later... but if you will take my word? Trust me it does!

Oh, this is the guy who makes this stove.

Sneaky park tea on a cold rainy day is the best tea. An alcohol tablet stove is an amazing way to brew. This leaves no soot and makes no smoke. Better than a jet boil. Silent.

Real “austerity” would mean cutting back on needless luxury: like militarily spending or tax cuts for the super rich.

I sometimes share my location with friends when we meet up. I *didn’t* realize that this means they see an icon of an ant that keeps getting closer and closer to their current location on the map

This is such a fun photo— you don’t notice them at first but then there they are and so busy with their projects.

They are shaped like fire.

@aliceonboard

If you mean did I write it? I did.

@zenkat

A computer program can create plausible responses that sound like someone saying these things, and it's tempting to think the machine is somehow objective. And that I've really done it. But, I think it's just a mirage. A very dangerous one.

This can fool very smart creative people.

@zenkat

I care about a lot of things that it feels like no one even notices, things that mean so much to me that are just alien to other people. Writing, making art it's just trying to share a little glimpse of these things to other people.

And when someone says "this is a lot like X, and it's also Y" and they *get it* that's the whole point.

@zenkat

I think it will wear thin eventually. An LLM can't really help you refine your brilliant philosophical idea or complete your novel... but it might be able to make you feel like someone understands and cares about the things you care about for a bit.

But when you take that work and show it to real people? It's not really better. You've just wasted time gazing in a flattering mirror.

@zenkat

But, why do any of us need that outside validation?

Why does it make me so happy when someone understands something I made, or enjoys my drawing, or when a student says "ooooh I get it now!" during one of *my* lessons?

These are the happiest moments in life, how could I let a machine simulate them?

We don't have the history but some people have worked very hard to make these systems drill right into that human need for connection for being understood.
