[personal profile] minoanmiss is never going to wake up again. I don't know if she's off life support yet but she will be and... it's so sad.

She remembered things about my children I'd forgotten. She sent us stickers and magnets and cute notepaper with PLANETS on. Not-Christmas cards and poems. I wanted to know what she thought of a book I recommended. She just got her eye sorted out five minutes ago, I wanted her to get a chance to look.

I knew her for 25 years and we never met or spoke, as far as I know. "Only" online. "Only" alt.poly and livejournal and dreamwidth and tumblr and. And and. Only that.

She was the only one of her in the world and I will miss her.

Edit to add: I'm reading through old emails and LJ comments and looking at poems we shared. She introduced me to Mika, too, and I loved his albums for ages.

Got insincere flattery?

“But I had an epiphany. You know what all this sycophancy constantly being told you’re right, that you’re brilliant, that every decision is flawless? That sounds an awful lot like being a billionaire.”

"The Secret Tool AI Uses to Seduce You: Explained," by Taya Graham and Stephen Janis

I use AI to get answers to simple questions and I hate when the bot addresses me personally. I hate it possibly to an irrational degree. (Even when someone else shares with me an AI convo they had, I get mad.) Do you use AI for anything and what do you think of this design choice?
