@mhoye @mcc let's get the crab gifs ready when we see it https://killedbygoogle.co.ck/

@sabrina @xgranade @mcc link?

@wesdym @rozeboosje this might be the worst post i've seen on fedi that doesn't have the N slur in it

@DamonWakes @mattsheffield i have not actually read The Blind Watchmaker in a gazillion years and oof i get what people are saying about the condescending tone now

nobody can figure out exactly how a farm pest develops a way around an old control method and use those final adjectives to describe their findings

@bodhipaksa @mattsheffield this analogy works so well because not only is the emoji[map] not the emotion[territory] but there's this additional layer that nobody these days uses that (or ":)") and not mean something more like "i'm putting up a polite smile now specifically to put you on notice that i am one minor inconvenience away from committing a fucking war crime" and that disconnect is so evocative of the disconnect between the flattery of an LLM chatbot versus the absolute contempt their creators have for normal people and all of it being hidden through trite, stereotyped expressions that necessarily ring hollow

@apophis @mattsheffield @2something but also: worst drone forcefem fic ever
