Ya wanna know what's really nuts? *Even that paper* didn't go far enough to highlight the threats of this awful technology. Because it could scarcely be imagined how enshittified Big Tech would become and how fast.

If anyone were to hop in a time machine, go back 5 years, and explained dispassionately exactly what has transpired hence, they would be branded a raging lunatic.

I started using my big fancy camera more often again, after successfully cleaning the sensor, so of course I had to get a nice photograph of the big ol' floof.

So, some You Know What-pilled tech bro I apparently had started following some while back showed up on Mastodon after months of inactivity, saying "I've mostly been on X, but now I'll post here too!" and began sharing links to their articles all about You Know What.

Never unfollowed anyone so fast! 💨

Getting ready to record a new episode of Vibe Coded (ironically named) where I'll be talking about ways to cope with the psychological toll we are all experiencing as we grapple with the slopologists and the mandates to use slop machines everywhere (coinciding with fashy tech generally).

What do you do to cope? How do you center yourself? Find peace? Let me know…I'll share a few responses on the show later! ☺️

(sub to @nprofile1q... so you don't miss an episode!)

Is it too late for #Caturday? Here's Mikey enjoying his afternoon nap!

I can't believe I snagged this official domain for the show. 😁

The way LLMs are hollowing out so many people, turning them into strange little characters in a twisted fictional mindscape barely tethered to the wider world of the real, may perhaps be the worst side effect of this technology cycle.

I'm not saying you are twisted if you rely on LLMs. What I'm saying is that if your mind isn't already very strong and you lack a vibrant inner life and IRL support network, *you are at risk.* It may not be a matter of if, but when.

And that is truly frightening.
