“Master Craftsman”

Emojis remind me of LLM slop

I refuse to use AI as a tool for anything other than making tools.

I can’t write LISP but I use AutoCAD. I use an LLM to write LISP routines.

I spent MONTHS looking for a way to catalog my plant collection. Tried a dozen open source projects and none did what I wanted it to do. So I used Claude to make a simple database website…and it was able to add a ton of pipe dream features.

Nothing I make is for sale and I don’t claim it as my own. They’re tools for ME to use. And the important part is that once the tool is done, the LLM gets closed.

But bass is the best kind of guitar!

Look, I didn’t flash my dong to everyone in the train to arouse anyone’s sexual interest so there’s no serious argument it was obscene

I was expecting to be horrified but mine actually made me feel pretty good lol

I prefer Anker USB devices, I grow plants as a hobby, and I consistently maintain dog supplies!

The only thing it got wrong is it thinks I have kids. But I guess I only really use amazon to get stuff for my dog and my sister’s kids so that’s no surprise

It’s automated posting so it’s bot. They use a Firefox extension instead of an API but it’s ripping and posting automatically.

This is one of their many bots. Sanitation, Time2lose, grumpus_maxinus, etc - all the same person running several different bots because they got banned in their original accounts.

Behold, fellow wolves! A deer in the clearing! It has been days since our last meal but we must allow this one to live.

There has never been a good Hollywood movie. I believe this because I am willfully ignorant about anything not made by Disney.

Animals have faces, the muzzle is the snout (nose and jaw structure)

It’s in Wednesday so it’s not age

I agree with this person’s suggestion but want to put another spin on it. The goal doesn’t have to be giving you a brand new voice, just use it to exercise. At the very least, the muscles will be “ready” to speak when you have to so you’ll have more confidence about it.

Do you like music? Try singing or even just humming. Play around with your mouth, throat, and posture to hear how it changes the timbre. I won’t over promise here but people have WAY more control than they realize. Say “aaahhh” and move your head forward and back, it’s crazy what a big change it makes.

I don’t think the character voices you gave are fair, though. Filthy Frank and Solid Snake both sound like they’ve smoked two packs a day since birth. Mimicking that damage is kind of damaging in itself. A similar thing happens with singers who only use falsetto - that is ROUGH on your body.

Point taken about Kristen Schaal. She does have a cute voice that works well with cartoons. But I would absolutely take her seriously in a serious role, too! She’s just really funny so she mostly does comedy

Cute

Classic is especially bad about this since it requires a much bigger time commitment than retail. That tends to attract a very degenerate crowd (in additional to the more normal people)

Retail has a lot more furries from what I can tell

You think the problem with the term is…the first word?

Text as an image is my mildlyinfuriating. Just post the damn text.

I wore these as my main winter hat for the longest time but had to switch to beanies when I worked in the trades. Now I’m struggling to justify the cost since I spend a lot less time outdoors in the winter…

But man, I love these hats.

Because it’s irrelevant to the point that they’re a scummy company who takes an insane cut of the sale price?

But here you go. This is the category I’d be selling under.

New. I have the receipts with the manuals

I found a site for it but they don’t list their fees anywhere so I thought it was kind of shady. Maybe I should call up some local places and see if they know any good places, thanks for the tip
