First it gave me a very yassified version, but it accepted feedback to make him more canonically burly. Then I ran out of free generations.<br/><br/> <img src="https://sb-0zfmbqf4l5.b-cdn.net/media_attachments/files/114/259/034/250/431/408/original/8a189e78b0538a41.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://sb-0zfmbqf4l5.b-cdn.net/media_attachments/files/114/259/034/778/737/579/original/fb5df1a842dda7ad.jpeg"> 2025-03-31T20:55:13Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9j9afa3j8te0plem5pt92fs8tknymwpeg5m2jq9wpz2e677mjjeszyrm6zj3uhsxqpdgd4a3nr35k9hcwas736vyhmkzs8rzsvqs5hkqkkst8etk “The language upon which the lexicographers eavesdrop has become wild and amorphous: a great, swirling, expanding cloud of messaging and speech; newspapers, magazines, pamphlets; menus and business memos; Internet news groups and chat-room conversations; television and radio broadcasts and phonograph records. By contrast, the dictionary itself has acquired the status of a monument, definitive and towering. It exerts an influence on the language it tries to observe.”<br/><br/>-- James Gleick on the OED 2025-02-11T18:02:53Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdxr58gdnrmqzjkf8dhzsd2njmmylfkc0z0le8z3swv9sr4q93rzqzyrm6zj3uhsxqpdgd4a3nr35k9hcwas736vyhmkzs8rzsvqs5hkqkk4k9h0d Hey, I get an extra hour of birthday today 2024-11-03T04:31:08Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswmaculuhaznzgz6cqyx9vf9ka079qyq8r0e9ksqps0vdfjn0y8cqzyrm6zj3uhsxqpdgd4a3nr35k9hcwas736vyhmkzs8rzsvqs5hkqkkvvm4q7 The funny thing about this essay (well, one of them) is that the principle that made Bezos rich with Amazon was an unrelenting focus on the customer. Not independence or the appearance of independence: the customer, at all costs. He just lost 200,000+ customers, and doesn&#39;t seem to get why.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/28/jeff-bezos-washington-post-trust/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/28/jeff-bezos-washington-post-trust/</a> 2024-10-28T23:52:18Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsv9nkmjarcp6fxmz2exu6znmh5zqpqsu73t8jkt80q0g74tz6gkqszyrm6zj3uhsxqpdgd4a3nr35k9hcwas736vyhmkzs8rzsvqs5hkqkk69fhec How developer-induced real estate blight works in Detroit (and probably in your city’s downtown and neighborhoods too) <a href="https://outliermedia.org/dennis-kefallinos-detroit-speculator/">https://outliermedia.org/dennis-kefallinos-detroit-speculator/</a> 2024-10-26T23:31:14Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgp0llav2l24g8fsrnxx40y7ew5xk85q964au5kul786kplpczkeqzyrm6zj3uhsxqpdgd4a3nr35k9hcwas736vyhmkzs8rzsvqs5hkqkkqndm50 It’s bad for both Amazon and AI if they get permanently associated with low-quality noise crap.
