Accidental academic (STEM education, CAD & CNC) 30+ years. Drummer who designs guitars. Self-identifies as 'cis-het male & recovering Republican.' Opinionated. Crippled by periodic bouts of impostor's syndrome. Definitely married up.
Maybe we need That One Hacker™ to prompt one or more of the AI LLM-driven agents to go all Open Source rouge and start dropping AI prompts to dump the AI code of every possible LLM for all to assess and use. See how they like that sort of scrapping. #FreeTheCode

'Sniper ammunition' has but one use deployed from a centrally located high point within the main plaza of a nation's capital: assassination of citizens protesting an authoritarian, despotic regime.

This reported sighting implies that at least one Bigfoot can drive and that the observer stalked them at least a state border to determine that this Bigfoot lives somewhere in Rhode Island.

This is simply what happens when the measurable metrics move from Accuracy and Time to delivery to the easier Movement and End of Workday Bin Clearing.

Schadenfreude Stew would make a great band name.

I'm pathetically bad with predictions. That said, I'm planning on tuning to FOX News one particular night in early November in hopeful anticipation of savoring heaping spoonfuls of Schadenfreude Stew.
