My brain went “ode to Virginia Woolf”

If only it was a brownie that did chores in exchange for saucers of milk

Isn’t it lovey to know that we’re destroying all the energy efficiency and climate progress we’ve made over the last few decades for this nonsense?

The scams have gotten more sophisticated for sure. Seems an extra slap in the face to use LLMs to craft fake job inquiries to target self-employed workers who are losing their livelihoods to generative AI slop. Guess that’s also what makes us seem like good marks.
