do you have any basis for that claim? the furry community is very tight-knit and there is a culture of looking out for each other.

it's worse than that - they can discriminate, and are shielded from any EEOC action against them. disgusting government corruption.

They're definitely talking about the police officer from this story, not you!

I remember reading a blog post a year or two ago about prompting like a printer driver and asking for increasingly ridiculous changes like time travel or wormhole capability. I don't know if I hallucinated that post but I haven't been able to find it again and I REALLY wish I could

There's a few books that are coupled with the term ergodic literature, chief among them House of Leaves. It really is a thoroughly enjoyable exercise to read that book, I highly recommend.

It wasn't originally when I used it as a kid, but I grew in to that term later :)

Not surprised to see such negative comments, this forum is fried by LLMs nowadays. I was immediately intrigued by reading a handwritten blog post, and enjoy ergodic literature, like this! I liked the message too, and this might shove me toward some handwriting projects I've been meaning to tackle lately.

I always feel like I'm losing my mind when reading LLM comments or prose for code. It's so esoteric and 'i-am-very-smart' and makes me feel like I'm not supposed to read the comments in the first place

libido is fixed with progesterone (which is commonly taken ~1-2 years into hrt) for better breast growth. anecdotally it makes you completely f*king feral
