I got my account banned on Tweeter for literally doing nothing. I mainly had it because Twitter requires you to have an account in order to read tweets and occasionally I needed to read a tweet there. A few weeks ago my account got suspended. Oh well.

>As you might imagine, dating can be a quagmire of liabilities and bear traps.

I did not imagine that at all. In fact, I, like I imagine many other young men, thought that becoming famous would certainly solve their dating problems forever.

That certainty has disappeared. Thanks for sharing this.

>The point is this: you don’t need to do anything wrong to get death threats, rape threats, etc. You just need a big enough audience.

Jesus fucking christ, that is a very believable and plausible thought. Even in these 93 comments I'm already seeing people who most likely don't know this dude and somehow decided to dislike him.

Oh man this is all really hurting my brain. I wish I had a good response to this. I wish I had a magical simple response and a way to resolve this problem. On one end, I stop by curl's H1 profile regularly and watch people just drown them in garbage. It's like LLMs have unlocked a portal to a new kind of stupidity that was dormant before. Netsec always had a problem with people running nmap -sV -sC -sX -Pn -p1-65535 --max-rate -T1 scanme.nmap.org -oS out.txt and then just sending that out.txt with a subject "I FOUND A VULENARBILATEAY" And like, a script kiddie isn't really a person... everyone has a script kiddie inside of us. But it feels like we took this wonderful technology of neural networks and we did capitalism with it and unleashed it into a business of making it easier for people to be stupid but feel smart while doing it. I really like the idea that we might learn something about our own consciousness by simulating neural networks with computers but the more I see how it's done in reality the more I want to puke my brains out.

On the other hand, Matt Godbolt seems to use LLMs and I feel like I sure as hell wouldn't want to miss a PR from Matt fucking Godbolt. I mean even if I go full vanilla LLM-free I still am too addicted to using godbolt.org at this point and it was written partially with an LLM apparently.

Argh, maaan I don't know this is too fucking complicated of a problem for me to solve. Fuck, maybe let's just destroy all this technology and live as neofarmers raising chickens?

<Zero LLMs were used to write this post. In fact I went ahead and broke one GPU for every sentence I wrote just to make it harder for LLMs to compute.>

God yes. I got dragged into the uv when I started using copyparty and I am a fanatical admirer ever since. I also use pipx to install tools often. I really don't understand why you can't just pip install something globally. I want this package to be available to me EVERYWHERE, why can't I do it? I only use python recreationally because everyone uses python everywhere and you can't escape it. So there is a massive possibility I am simply wrong and pip-installing something globally is a huge risk. I'm just not understanding it.

I used drugs recreationally. I don't like to talk about it. I especially don't like to talk about it online on a profile that's very heavily linked to my identity. Over many years of regular use of all kinds of different drugs, I have identified the war on drugs -- not drugs themselves -- to be the persistent threat to my safety, health, psyche and existence. Merely talking about this like I'm doing right now is a gigantic risk I am taking. And this means honest communication between the sides is non-existent. If you are a rational and a thinking person, you should eschew the persistent harassment and demonization of an entire societal layer that is the war on drugs.

What that means practically? Don't call the police on that one person smoking weed in a park or smoking fentanyl or injecting heroin on your bus if they are not bothering you. Don't make that joke about how crackheads are making this town dirty. Be humane. Be kind. Don't get dragged as a combatant into the war you know nothing about and that doesn't matter to you personally.

Only Python, TypeScript and JavaScript? Well there go my vibe-coded elisp scripts.

I guess it's impossible (or really hard) to train a language-agnostic classifier.
