Bumbling through the technosphere. Easily amused.
Messing around with #FOSS, baking #bread, paddling a whitewater #kayak, and #parenting a herd of kids . Sometimes I manage a Hello World without syntax errors in #python.
Professionally, I help to build and run #trains with software and IT stuff.
Middle-aged cishet white guy, trying not to be an asshole about it. Please let me know if I get it wrong.
Ni dios ni amo. Toots auto-delete after 2 weeks. #noindex or I will punch you.
most of my early professional training was as a text person. Literature, journalism, history. Professions where you obsess about individual words, sentence structure, context, and layers of meaning.
For this reason, I find LLM-generated text supremely exhausting to read. I keep looking for meaning and intention, and it just isn’t - can’t be - there.
