Indeed. Though that’s only my surface level complaint.

On a deeper level; LLMs just fuckin’ suck ass. They aren’t people, stop assuming they can do things that people can do.

That’s the company that made those assassin games

“AI”

I’ve actually been thinking about editing my LinkedIn to specificly call out my lack of desire to work with LLMs (which I refuse to call AI, ever). Honestly, I only want to entertain contact from employers who feel the same.

Nice try EA, but you’re not getting my golden ideas for free.

You can be single and still have lots of friends and socializing.

Don’t.

Okay, that could easily be misinterpreted. What I mean is don’t look for one. Live your life. Get to know yourself. Find some hobbies, start some projects, do some cool shit. Not as a resume for a relationship, just to do it and be fulfilled. You don’t need to find someone right this moment.

The worst relationship I ever had was because I was young and lonely and bored and I ended up dating someone who nearly destroyed my life and dominated everything about it. Took 5 years to get away from it. Subsequent relationships suffered, though not because my partners were awful, I just wasn’t worth dating.

At some point, I just got tired of it and “retired” from dating. I took care of myself, did things that interested me, and relaxed for a few years. Just me. I got really happy just being with myself. Then, my best friend of nearly 20 years and I ended up starting a thing nearly on accident, and now (a few years later) we’re very happily married. Absolutely would not have been possible unless I’d spent the time to figure myself out.

I mean, lack of consensus notwithstanding, the logic tree should be pretty simple;

• Employer demands secure device

  • Employee has one personally and is willing to use it for work

    • Employer allows use of personal device

      • Problem solved

    • Employer isn’t comfortable with BYOD, provides a device

      • Employee accepts the new device

        • Problem solved

      • Employee doesn’t accept the device, can’t do their job, is fired

        • Problem solved

  • Employee either doesn’t have one, or refuses to use their own

    • Employer provides one

      • Problem solved

    • Employer refuses to provide one

      • Employee realizes the company sucks, quits

        • Problem solved

      • Employer gets shitty about it, fires the employee, employee sues and easily wins

        • Problem solved

• updated for more scenarios

Reasonable to allow only secure devices for work: Yes

Reasonable to expect the employee to provide such a device: No

Work should only be done on company hardware (including auth). Especially if they’re going to be that concerned about security.

I mean…;

Benjamin Schreiber was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in 1996, after clubbing a man to death with the handle of a pickaxe and leaving his body outside a trailer. Schreiber had conspired with the man’s girlfriend to murder him.

He took away someone else’s body and life first.

Oh hell yes they will!

Squirrels.

Grew up in Chicago, currently in Phoenix. I miss squirrels.

All the lizards are pretty cool though. They’re like desert squirrels.
