The crosswords are tough for a stock LLM to crack without invoking tool calls since they can hardly spell due to their tokenized inputs. But with tool calls, they’re getting pretty good at it.

We are all their hostages

I recommend getting into Cryptic Crosswords. They give me my cogitation fix. The Youtube channel Cracking The Cryptic has a great masterclass series to get into them, and Minute Cryptic is a good way to dip your toe into the hobby.

They can’t, but they will anyway!

And if the debt is in the retirement funds, it’s a guarantee that the government will bail it out because they’re holding old people hostage. Yuck.

Another powerful strategy: the mid-boss-fight “I tire of this!” and AOE stun everyone around you while you either escape or enter your second phase.

Some areas to fix would be usury above certain interest rates (payday loans, mostly) and “health insurance” with high denial rates and soaring deductibles.

This is a straw-all-men argument. I am a man. I have routinely stood up for women at parties when other men are being a problem.

“Looks like Team Rocket’s blasting off again!!!” I’ll be back next episode none the worse for wear…

I don’t know what they’ll find except squirrels up there

If you took a horse’s large intestine and stretched it out end-to-end, the horse would not survive.

Am I free to go officer? If not, I want my lawyer.

Yeah, with a careful prompt it can work, I guess. But the assumptions it makes around your prompt are insidious and sneaky.

It’s designed to resist corpo capture via interoperability… if it starts enshittifying, hopefully this will allow users to shift over without incurring too much switching cost keeping them in place

Wanna see us do it again? 💪 let’s do this, team

Z-Image is literally made by Alibaba, c’mon now. While you do get access to the weights, and you can tweak it to your liking, you don’t get access to the bulk of the training data that was used to train it, and the corporations are still making the foundation model.

I’ll concede that your workflow is definitely way better than booting up a closed-weight model running remotely via API though.

I can get behind this
