It is important, I'm told, that when caroling for cash that you present an imposing and joyful sight when the target opens their door.

You should creep on the house one by one and NOT be seen going along in a group on your way there. Then, when the target opens the door stun them: start singing *immediately* do not say hello or explain.

Have some cheerful decorations to wave and try to fill the whole door frame with costumes and silly flags, ribbons and banners.

The more people? The better.

"Here We Come A-wassailing"

How do you use this song?

@regordane

why do you think it’s weird?

@Linebyline

I just find Job to be one of the more fully realized people in the whole book. He has feelings and doubts. Too many of the people in the Bible are implacable and alien.

The story of Job is so weird. It has some of the best parts in the Bible— but also I am confused why Satan is back in Heaven talking to God? Didn’t that guy get kicked out? To me getting kicked out of heaven seems like a big deal “let us never speak again” kind of thing. Confusing!

I guess God might care what even a fallen angel thinks? God seems very unstable.

@maxleibman

It can be a pretty good hint that a person uses LLMs a lot.

@Netraven

IDK maybe we should just found the damn order already and go on a rampage.

@Netraven

I would find a system that would try to anticipate and suggest ways to save me time helpful.

But the LLMs seem to be tuned to keep you using the software for as long as possible (like the facebook algorithm) and that can be a waste of my time.

@rk

It is particularly because I think it might be possible (with very different systems) that I get so grouchy about this.

C — and it arrived at the exact same time as the A at the destination.

You are at 145th going downtown to Columbus Circle. Do you wait 5min for the express or take the local right now? #nyc #subway

@Wyatt_H_Knott

I would be OK if they would call it by the name of the billionaire who owns it. eg.

I asked Elon Musk what I should do about my relationship and he said that...

@PaulaToThePeople

I'm not trying to "not be judgemental" I'm trying to understand how I'm so out of sync with so many people.

@davep

It's not the gender... It's the personification.

"Chat GPT is so helpful. It really cares about me." <<just as creepy

These are vast systems purely tuned to try to get us all to talk to them like individuals to impose the human mind on them. When we do that it gives over a kind of power I think … to that system or rather to the people who run these systems. It’s like when a company says “you aren’t an employee you are a team member” or worse… ”family”

How would you make the case for not calling an LLM "he" or "him" like it is a particular person without sounding like the Bene Gesserit?

For some reason it really bothers me on a deep level. What the heck is that about?

Oddly? I do not feel upset about the robotics team doing this for the robot they built. I think my issue is with the notion of an individual being ... mentally constructed who simply does not exist.

Maybe she will learn something from this experience. LOL.

Trump has endorsed Mike Lindell (the 'my pillow guy') to run for governor, but he would not endorse Marjorie Taylor Greene when she wanted to run for senate. She had not turned on him when she asked for that support.

And really? I'm kind of offended on her behalf. She's been so much more effective than Lindell at being terrible, she is so much more accomplished at being a republican.

But she's a woman. So no dice.

"Everything Everywhere All at Once" has a little of this IMO. Though it's a lot better than your typical small town please come home romance.
