  Yeah, I assume the now-former employee acted with full expectation of losing her job over this. She succeeded at bringing attention to something many people (myself included) hadn’t heard about before, so she at least accomplished that much.

  You’re right, that does sound particularly like something an autistic person would say. It’s also something I’d be perfectly happy to hear and engage with.

  “New toilet paper, same shit” is how an old boss of mine used to say it. Good for if you want to go clever yet crude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I’m doing my part against them by refusing to click on any bait headlines, but I fear it’s a lost cause anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE Wants to Know If You’re Posting Negative Things About It Online⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well of course I am. Lots of sensible folks are posting negative things about ICE online. ICE are a bunch of assholes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New No Man's Sky update adds walkable gas giants among "trillions" of new planets, just in case you were running out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s walkable, then it would be a solid giant, not a gas giant. What were they smoking?

  I stand corrected. Learn something new every day.

  Yes, figs are visited by wasps in the region figs are native to, but only in the same way that flowers are visited by bees. This picture is very much not what that would look like. This is, I’m certain, literally just a wasp nest.

  Yeah, a little of column A, a little from column B.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No further questions your honour⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, those are relevant because they show the value of that inspiration. Inspiration that could have brought many more valuable changes to her life if she still had it, but sadly the park service stole that inspiration from her, along with many potential benefits it could have brought her if they’d just let her remain blissfully ignorant of the true identity of the inspiring bigfoot she thought she saw.
