“Sorry daddy”

You are not wrong.

He is 63. He has been with his wife for 40+ years…so since he was a broke ass engineer. He was unfaithful with an agent of a hostile government and the affair is a matter of public knowledge. That golden parachute and half of everything else has his wife’s name on it.

Me, starting to read the story: “I bet this will be romance novels”

Me, after reading the story: “Yep…romance novels”

My two three thoughts are that even the sloppiest of AI slop is likely to be better than most bargain bin romance novels. Their prose has always been shit. They were full of spelling errors, plot holes and copy/paste duping where sometimes it was the same book with only the names of people and towns changed.

Second: I hate to admit it, but her method (outlined in the story) is solid. She also combines it with her publishing knowledge in order to best target her “books”.

Third: This is unsustainable, and she knows it, which is why she is pivoting from the “slop slinger” grift to the “you too can be a slop slinger with my app and method” grift.

PS: She’s not an author. She’s a grifter.

Wait…Monster is still around?!?

It is. It isn’t fancy, it’s just good. Sturdy. Reliable operation. Built for life.

The EZ-DUZ-It can opener. You don’t know you need a good can opener in your life until you have one.

Nice. I like it.

I appreciate this type of LLM disclosure.

How about the federal government take itbover instead. National security and all.

Ugh. You could get the 16gb 256GB I5 model, refurbished, for $159 not so long ago. 8 is not awful if you run a minimal Debian 13 server, but 12+ is ideal.

The key is searching local IT clearance shops. Also, if you are entrepreneurial, ping your local banks to see if they are willing to sell their old ones. The prize is in the units that aren’t certified for Win11 as they are essentially e-waste.

Yeah, that’s just a USB 2 Mini B.

IMHO RAM>CPU. Anything released in the past decade will kick ass if it has a good amount of RAM. I still game on a 2016 desktop PC.

EDIT: Please correct me if I am wrong, but 10,000k INR =~ $100. If that’s the budget, then I highly suggest an IBM ThinkCentre Tiny. They use to sell for ~$100 (used or refurbished). They have no moving parts and make for great headless units.

I believe that’s a USB Mini-B port, but the perspective is messing with me. Can you share a further out photo or use a banana for scale? This photo makes it seem huge.

Ok, but did they have to use Trump’s “superintelligence” pet word in a sentence?

Yeah, that was pure pettiness and spite.

Who?

Yes…after the election has been certified, which is bonkers to me.
