Oh, my friend, how did you come to trade the fiddle for the drum?

The “caravan” of scary South American migrants that Trump fear-mongered about back in '15 (Jesus, has it been a decade?), they were largely subsistence farmers that were forced off of their lands by multi-year droughts that were demonstrably an effect of climate change. In just the last few years, it’s almost comical how dramatically present the effects of climate change are. Whether or not we’re able to admit it to ourselves consciously, I think everyone feels it. We’re about to hit a dozen different asymptotes, and we’re clearly not ready. So, turns out, fear-mongering is a particularly successful strategy in this kind of zeitgeist.

Yes, but most of them involve constant interaction with people that have forgotten how to interact with people.

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

I’m getting this shit from everywhere I’ve ever lived. I can normally ignore my phone for the most part, but I’m actually waiting on updates about the health of a relative. And this shit needs to stop. No one’s changing their mind cause of a text, guys. No one’s like, “Oh yeah, is it time to vote?” Please, just stop.

I instantly heard it. DEEK

Is it Elmo?

Yeah, they (used to) send ya a csv with all your posts/comments. Got mine before I overwrote and deleted, 17 years worth. I trained an llm on it. It may or may not be writing this.

For a deep dive

When ya upload a file to a Claude project, it just keeps it handy, so it can reference it whenever. I like to walk through a kind of study session chat once I upload something, with Claude making note rundowns in its code window. If it’s a book or paper I’m going to need to go back to a lot, I have Claude write custom instructions for itself using those notes. That way it only has to refer to the source text for specific stuff. It works surprisingly well most of the time.

Better yet, have your LLM of choice read the book first.

Switched to Perplexity a year ago, but I occasionally still go to Google just from muscle memory. Google’s aggressively unhelpful now - it’s kinda insane.

I mean, the way coffee gets to us seems pretty on brand for the right.
