One of the most profound insights of librarianship is that you can be better off recycling something. completist scrutiny is a maladaptive fetish which you will not transcend

This is the institutive praxis that subjects us to the misery of ~being governed~. It is a reinforcing mechanism.

One of my ongoing frustrations with software engineering as a professional practice is that LLMs were in no way the thing that caused this (though they do exacerbate it). Every company I’ve seen in my career fetishized producing solution-shaped objects for problems they didn’t (care to) understand.
"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

LLMs can censor materials from the library systems if deemed “sensitive” and also currently being sold as getting rid of “sensitive content” from local library collections.
Of course this shit is being manipulated. For the benefit of who is the bigger question.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

Let me change gears *cups the mic and proceeds to rapid-fire scream my next 30 slides like i'm in a 70s punk band fitting a manifesto into a 1min 30 second song*
What's more irritating in talks?
A) Speakers saying "I'm going to switch gears" when they mean "I'm going to change direction and talk about something else"?
B) A metaphorical collaboration slide that shows 3 or more gear cogs in a configuration that could not possible work.

Why They Mask
Veteran ICE officers know face coverings are a bad look. But they’re not coming off anytime soon.
