Speaking of medieval history, it's fun how the popular accounts are all "the peasantry disliked nobles, but typically loved the King and attributed any harmful decisions to bad advisors", and then the rare examples of surviving testimony from actual peasants are like "I hope the King literally explodes".

Out of curiosity do you recall offhand any of the latter sources? I want to read medieval peasants hating on their rulers :)

Not every story is about seeing yourself in it. Sometimes it’s about learning to see other people too.

hehehehehe * sudden moment of clarity that straightens my spine * what is this. who am I. * the clarity fades * hehehehehehe

I'm not even nearly as anti-LLM as most other leftists but part of approaching new technology is "hey let's think real critically about the application and scope of this so we can use it in ways that are worth it and don't cause mass scale societal damage" but the fact that it's being injected into fucking EVERYTHING makes any stance more cautious than "USE LLMS FOR EVERYTHING NOW AND FOREVER" so much more anti than the status quo that I don't even fucking want to add nuance

Like most of the problems people have with LLMs are the natural conclusion of decades of tech companies gaining monopolies, environmental regulations struggling to keep up with new technologies, and a growing semi-privatized surveillance state, as opposed to issues with LLMs themselves. There's a theoretical reality where LLMs are implemented in useful, responsible, and sustainable ways but that reality is so far removed from our current one that none of those points actually matters

Currently in the mood where I would like someone to be leaning against me/me to be leaning against someone

I have 2 perfectly good sides/shoulders, and NO ONE IS LEANING AGAINST THEM

This was my first time seeing Hadestown since it was pointed out to me (in a post I now can't find) that in Epic III when Orpheus sings the line, "But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending is already gone," Hades turns around to check that Persephone is still there.
