I am artificially more │ ║ productive because I am using the tools of big tech to create small things. I │ ║ am artificially more capable, artificially more intelligent, but it's still my │ ║ intelligence - the system would not be useful in someone else's hands. I built │ ║ it myself, but I never have to write code myself. │ ║ │ ║ It's perfect for a witch. I call to the spirit of the machine and it figures │ ║ out how to make it so. │ ║ │ ║ [someday, the wizards of ancient lore will be reading through the POSIX │ ║ specification trying desperately to understand while the witches burn the world │ ║ down in their lust for power and everyone cries and yearns for a better future │ ║ where everything was just a bit harder but genies don't go back in bottles, │ ║ cassandora and pandasandra cannot relinquish her charge and her curse.] │ ║ │ ║ I have a fun cackle~ │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5905 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────── running scuttlebutt on an emulator console from japan, oh my (china, actually) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5907 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────── Please... if you deplatform people, send them with a parting gift of all their data. don't just delete it.

We lost. the parting message was this: "well, we almost got it. It was close. But you can do better. Don't make the mistake of hurting your allies, focus on your foes." then, with gravest clarity, he said: "we must secure a cleansing blow. Against the far right, there is no greater foe." then, ashes. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5909 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────── Oh look at me, I'm cassandra.

But, you'll come across it eventually, ready and willing and able to │ ║ help you. │ ║ │ ║ if you don't want me using AI, then give me ~20 junior developers.
