  • Crazy use of AI images. Completely needless. On the overview page, the featured image for each post is unrelated ai slop. They even seem all to be generated within the same base prompt.

    Turned me completely off.

    Smh like a maniac.

  • “Everyone likes to be told that everything’s going to be okay,” said Dr. Emil Dahl. “And the people posting these ultimately worthless comments get to feel like they did something good for a stranger. Ordinarily, such platitudes are innocuous, but it becomes dangerous when people like Mr. Stoltz put too much faith in the power of internet comments. He was so encouraged by his anonymous online supporters that he cavalierly decided to forego my attempts at treatment, feeling it was unnecessary. The last time he left my office, he simply said, ‘Thanks, doc, but I got this’ while giving me double-finger cannons.”
