I’m drawing a blank on the second one?
I love the idea of company loyalty but your last sentence is spot on. I became a contractor because I can choose to work on projects I’m passionate about and take care of myself instead of relying on some bs corporate lip service. I’d give it up in a heartbeat to work at the non existent company that actually cared about and invested in its people long term rather than just spewing bullshit at best. Even then, if that company did exist it would eventually just get bought out or taken over if it ever got marginally successful and it would all get stripped away anyhow.
Pretty surprised only 1 in 5 executives agreed with that statement, doesn’t really fit with the rest of the statements


I smoked some on the way in here to make interviewing more tolerable


Wasn’t this from over a decade ago?
I couldn’t find the specific shot from the video but pictures 13 & 14 here have a similar energy and one of the last photos shows a man standing blocking the road without a vehicle at him though. https://www.reuters.com/pictures/ice-agents-raid-california-farms-2025-12-30/7NUQEJSVXREQDMAHJBIYLZYJY4/
I get to be a caricature of myself with a ton of pals to conquer my enemies with and a kick ass floating base in the ocean!!!


I think she was in the Barbie movie too
How can an opening be upside down? That doesn’t make any sense.
Things that don’t follow the way I understand physics and technology to work. I enjoy sci-fi stuff a bit but when it doesn’t ’work’ I have trouble suspending disbelief and enjoying. Time travel is an easy example, I find most media with time travel to be exceptionally frustrating and taxing. Bending space, worm holes, silent floating and fast aircraft’s. An antidote just immediately saving the world without any production at scale or logistic considerations, not to mention geo politics, just magical gets into everyone’s systems so the world is saved. It can make brainstorming really difficult for me. I’m not sure if those examples help or not, it’s what immediately came to mind, I’m sure there’s better.
Edit: I want to clarify, I don’t think it’s a positive thing, I find my mind to be frustrating
I think I might have an imagination fault in addition to ‘can’t see things in my mind’ (which I thought was completely made up that people could just picture things in their head, it still freaks me out even though I’ve accepted it) fault. I can imagine things of course but only in like a practical reality sense. Like my mind doesn’t have a bridge to ‘maybe’ kinds of theory unless I can make it make sense along the way. That’s not to say I don’t imagine things that make sense in my head that would be complete disasters, because I do, regularly, and peer review has saved me countless times. I don’t know how to explain but the more I hear about how other people’s brains work it makes me think mine is broken and constrained significantly for some reason.
I get as much enjoyment from technical books that I read for career and personal reasons as I do fiction, so I usually read non fiction as it at least has a purpose for me. I wonder how much is related to my not being able to visualize anything.


Casually dropping one of the broadest applicable use cases for an LLM that you didn’t use
You’d have to watch everyone as they take her for a turn


Perry sure they’ve mentally resigned themselves to living life in their mental land of make believe


Thank you for asking, I couldn’t tell either.
I bought one for $4.95 at Sam’s yesterday
Fuck ignorant insecure trash with blood sport dogs
I learned a lot about it when I was getting my son help. Made a lot of sense for what he was dealing with, his brain not naturally creating the chemicals that would help with emotional regulation so it was from 0-100 without him having any opportunity really to get a handle on himself. Meds and significant amounts of time working with him on coping mechanisms have been life changing for all of us.
