concrete manufacture occasionally builds houses.

house collapses and people get injured.

concrete manufacture says we no longer build houses cause it’s too small of a business.

that’s hard.
some of us prefer smart bots over dumb humans.
it’s so authentic

ha! i like the negativity since the anonymous thing frees me to be me

i hate being civil!

Re:Don't Paste the AI, please on Thursday August 20, 2026 @10:53AM (#49375483)
when people write me ai slop.

i either ignore. or if i trust them i just say “don’t use ai slop”.

anything softer is passive and morally judgy too.

i’m not here to tell them what’s globally right, only how i want them to interact with me.

Re:Don't Paste the AI, please on Thursday August 20, 2026 @10:51AM (#49375444)
this maybe a me issue

any kind of softness in language like “i’ll-considered” sounds so sterile that i sense hatred underneath. too much time in big companies.

more sharing a crazy person take on how different words can be interpreted counter to the intent.

Re:Don't Paste the AI, please on Thursday August 20, 2026 @10:44AM (#49375341)
don’t use ai when you write emails to me.

that’s direct and aggressive.

framing it as advice is the passive part.

most jobs don’t require deep thought.

in LLM terms low to no reasoning is better than ultra.

Re:Don't Paste the AI, please on Thursday August 20, 2026 @10:01AM (#49374707)
it encourages back and forth.

it trains people to expect things.

boundaries.

Re:Don't Paste the AI, please on Thursday August 20, 2026 @09:58AM (#49374662)
it’s passive aggressive.

ultimately it’s better to not inform and start ignoring these people.

let natural selection work.

sometimes fraud leads to positive outcomes.

imagine a world where SBF didn’t defraud the crypto world.

in that world anthropic may have not existed.

i wish i could codify voice.

probably someone has.

i’m not beyond being fooled, but when there’s voice there’s a human.

this is especially true with certain types of awkward phrasings that LLMs love to correct but humans don’t.

one day my internal filter will fail, but not today.

lots of things i cared deeply about 10 years ago that i don’t even remember now

i find self loathing a previous version of yourself to be a by product of religious thinking
