Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

This made me have a thought. Before writing instructors/groups would give a writer a prompt and the writer would write the story by themselves using their brain.

Now ppl (who are not writers at all) prompt a machine and the machine writes slop.

The prompt dynamic has changed...for the worst.

Also the person who came up with the challenge would never be crying about ppl stealing their prompt..that's because we all knew, and people who actually write still know that the prompt isn't the work. The command is not the work. That's some manager fantasy nonsense.

Ooh, it is!

I'll give the Ennui a go for sure

Detective and sidekick?

LLMs getting much better at pushing back against bullshit prompts.

When I found out what was in those liquid death cans my jaw hit the fucking floor!

OH: The long-tail annoyance of cross-border moves is a genuine bitch.

OH: Yeah, dangerously close to baking, is roasting.

Wait. Late lunch? Bio hacking. Early dinner? Bio hacking. Even traditional old brunch, if you think about it. Morning coffee. Afternoon tea? Such bio hackery, so wow.
