Software engineer, sometimes other things too.
It is really interesting to see which of my friends and acquaintances still readily post links to tiktok videos after the app unambiguously endorsed trump the other day.

When fancy restaurants charge you like $5 for tea when all they're really doing is putting a tea bag in some hot water, I call that a steep price

The generative AI discourse is sincerely insane, it's exactly as if the entire food sector were scrambling to see who could add the most poison to their products. THESE FUCKING THINGS GENERATE FAKE INFORMATION, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO, YOU'RE TRYING TO REPLACE REAL INFORMATION WITH FAKE INFORMATION.
