Not using LLMs to write for you won't be like not using Google Maps in a new city. It will be like choosing to run and lift weights, even though we now have machines that can transport us and lift weights for us.

The Onion newspaper has been rocked by the discovery that their new creative director, produced pro pedo/child kidnapping, torture and murder programs. Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is the main financier of the Onions hostel takeover of Infowars and is funding productions designed, in their words “to wear Alex Jones skin.” Below is an actual mug shot of the creep..
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not an actual mugshot of Tim Heidecker - it is a fake mugshot produced for one of his comedy sketches on Adult Swim. youtube.com/watch?v=ovg83J…

After a brief scare, Stancil has returned to surveilling ICE agents in his 2011 Honda Fit and he's in high spirits. At some level you gotta respect the commitment.

Every morning my landlord comes in, crouches on my kitchen counter, and has explosive diarrhea. Cleaning it up was maybe a minute of work. I’ve never had to think about it since. Skill issue

Linux people are insufferable. Disabling Copilot was maybe a minute of work during the install. I've never had to think about it since. Skill issue.

Marc primarily funds gambling apps, cheating apps, and bot farms. He does not want you to build things that are actually good for society.
