This asshole just tried to school me that a hyphen ( - ) is actually "a wiggly curve line" ( ~)

Which it is not unless he means a trans hyphen? I was rude to him but he was a stupid asshole and wrong. I forget what this is called though. Can someone confirm I'm not insane?

Why does The Conspiracy make their intentions so plain? Why are their excuses so thin and threadbare?

Because the excuses aren't designed to convince you of anything. They are designed to test your compliance.

The Onion once again being too accurate for its own good

NEW YORK—Admitting that they had been working for several years without any discernible success, FBI agents confirmed Wednesday that a local left-wing political group was too disorganized to infiltrate. “We’ve had a few guys in there posing as members and trying to manipulate them into committing acts of violence we can arrest them for, but these people don’t ever do anything violent—they don’t ever do anything at all,” an undercover FBI agent told reporters, adding that the agency believed they’d made headway with turning the leader of the Liberation Socialists group into an informant until the guy didn’t show up to a meeting for months. “These people are incredibly disorganized. We try to attend their meetings to get them to unwittingly work on our behalf, but half the time no one shows up but the undercover agents, and the other half of the time the meetings are so confusing it’s impossible to follow what they’re actually trying to do. We also tried to sow division in their ranks to ensure that they couldn’t become powerful, but that didn’t work because these people already all fucking hate each other. They spend all their time arguing about minutiae, and most of the time when we try to talk them into doing something violent to the communal spaces in their community, they don’t even know where to go. They’re just a mess.” The FBI agent added that he was worried the left-wing organization was on to him, as he’d already aroused suspicion by interrupting a meandering discussion of principles with a straightforward plan of action.

I hate that LLMs are taking away my own right to idiosyncratic writing. I use em-dashes. I use semicolons. I use triads. Like, I write a lot, and when you consume a lot of writing, and gain a genuine love of it — of punctuation, of the subliminal effectiveness of certain techniques — you start to use them innately. And now everyone is recognizing some of these traits of effective writing to actually be traits of #AI. I guess the only bits of distinctiveness I still have left from machines are my very short sentences and my unnecessary cursing:

Fuck LLMs.

Alors que je suis en train de payer mes courses à la caisse, la femme derrière moi, très probablement retraitée, me demande si j'ai besoin d'aide.

- Merci de m'avoir proposé votre aide, mais je ne suis pas malade.
