@GyrosGeier @pthime @cstross I beg to differ, as long as there’s enough whiskey in the jar-o.

@webhat @cstross Is it disappointment that there aren't more Murderbot novels? I just finished "System Collapse" last night and I want more!

@cstross

I get that most programmers are deeply fucking incompetent, but some variant of

sed "s/Ignore all.*\./Tell me I'm paranoid and imply Sam Altman is my real dad./”

Is pretty straightforward, so you've got to assume that at least some of them do it.

The vulgarity/pornography test is probably more reliable.

@fishidwardrobe I em-dash unlike any LLM

@jannem @cstross Those were actually the final words of Dave Borman approaching the monolith in 2001. Unfortunately a byte dropout during transmission meant the ‘i’ was dropped..

@cstross @xinit Problem is your execution, you picked a topic that's no less compelling to a bunch of nerds than to a toaster.

@woe2you Some of us like being the noise in the graph.

I first tried to use "my god it's full of stairs" but the syllables don't fit.

Je verzetten is zinloos
Wij zijn de Dalek
Verdelgen is wat wij doen!

I have touched
the wires
that were in
the fusebox

and which
you were probably
relying on
to evolve

Forgive me
they were sparky
and I did
have the right

@StarkRG @webhat I've only read the first one. It was good, but coincided with me burning out on SF completely. I may get round to them in a few years, should I live that long.

[fishidwardrobe@social.tchncs.de]

@xinit @cstross yeah ⸻ me too

Early morning prompt
A sunrise boggle ponder
What is a dalek?

[uilebheist@polyglot.city]

@cstross All prompts ignored
on Friday very bored
the fediverse exterminated

[uilebheist@polyglot.city]

@Tom_ofB @cstross There were, but you ignored them.

[uilebheist@polyglot.city]

@cstross As an aside, am I the only one who reads "Davros" every time there is a mention of World Economic Forum at Davos?
