Still no success in conjoining with the Agent Intellect. It says it's not me, but I'm worried that it's me.

Lawful Evil is the funniest alignment. Nothing Le Wacky Wholesome Chungus Chaotic Good bard does will ever be as funny as the guards in Morrowind asking you if you have a license for that murder then pleasantly apologizing for holding you up when you produce said license.

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.
I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

Because of how bad AI is at most of the tasks it's being used for, we've now reached the point where any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from incompetence.

I must not dunk.
Dunks are the time-killer
Dunks are the little stress that bring on social alienation
I will ignore bad takes
I will allow them to pass, or block them
And when they are off my feed I will read things that matter
And where the takes have gone there will be nothing
Only I will remain

Yep, I'm here to protect my peace. I will not fight random people on the internet.
I know temptation and old habits call us, but remember friends: when an anon rando with no platform has a weird bad take
You can just block them
I know, the optimists amongst us think that surely a person wearing the trappings of reason can be reasoned with
Don't do it
Be free

1d4 By attribute, I understand: what the intellect perceives to constitute the essence of a substance
1d5 By mode, I understand: the affections of substance, or that which is in another, through which it is is conceived.

1d3 By substance, I understand: what is in itself and is conceived through itself.
That is: that whose concept does not need a concept of anything else from which it would have to be derived (formed).

I love this definition of translation by Daniel Hahn, from his book Catching Fire - A Translation Diary:
"Writing someone else's book, but backwards and in high heels"
I highly recommend this book to all translators (and to anyone who thinks AI can replace translators).

1d8 By eternity, I understand: existence itself; to the extent that, this is conceived to necessarily follow only from the eternal thing’s definition.
I had such a dither over where to put the ‘only’.

1d7 That thing is called free, which necessarily exists from its own nature alone; and is determined only by its own deeds.
On the other hand, a necessary or compelled thing, is determined to exist and operate/work in a certain and determinate course [ratione] by another.
