I honestly don't understand, it's EXACTLY like I remember from 20+ years ago. They weren't selling it, now they are. I will ACTUALLY be eating this with a spoon, I pray to a god of your choosing that this product ends up in your proximity.

I've been craving this shit since 2005

And it's all just different manifestations of authoritarianism, "you must do this my way or not at all". Deeply grating but I'm glad I learned what the fuck a "Russia" is

Made it a lot cheaper to just have teachers say "oh yeah that's Russia now." The textbooks that were old would be expensive to replace, so it's more financially convenient to just pretend reality doesn't change. We get locked into tech stacks because switching is expensive when you can do it at all.

Tbh it kind of makes me reflect on the mechanisms of fascism, because if I think about it that school was pretty well-funded, but those maps were part of this big, likely-expensive assembly that wasn't modular in a way that made it easy to change out a map.

Tangential, but thinking about how my elementary school in the early 2000s still had maps at the front of every classroom with "USSR" instead of "Russia"

"That's not nearly enough Szechuan peppercorns, this isn't authentic at all!"

"Are you sure? I tried this the other day and honestly it was almost overpowering"

"I can't buy Szechuan peppercorns near me but-"
^meat-based LLM

LLMs are pretty specifically geared around picking words that are contextually appropriate, so "meat-based llm" seems more like a designation for someone who is very obviously only talking about things they read on the internet rather than things they've lived.

"Facts don't care about your feelings" brother how did the facts get into your head do you have a USB port

LLMs were always going to be a problem in an environment where "reasoning" aims to discard the sensory experience.
