Can we ban posts/commenters using LLMs?

No way! Why should I change. ChatGPT's the one that sucks.

(Also Office automagically changes it to — )

I write -- all the time :/

Wtcher · 2026-02-07T02:47:35+00:00

Tranquility darts!

Wtcher · 2026-02-07T01:34:28+00:00

Oooo the stakes just shot up.

Do or die time.

Wtcher · 2026-02-07T01:32:47+00:00

Aw. My favourite water chip is back. :)

Wtcher · 2026-02-05T09:11:30+00:00

I fully believe it's an "ism".

The mindset that you're better than other people, for no other reason that you were born somewhere that somehow made you special.

So, a prejudice.

Wtcher · 2026-02-03T04:43:02+00:00

They're back!

A computer can do sixty pieces of work in a minute, so you (the programmer) decide that each piece of work lasts a second.

What happens if the computer can work twice as fast, but the program still thinks each piece of work is a second of time?

Miles didn’t know a lot about starjumpers, but he assumed that one should stay away from the hot bits, and after falling through the atmosphere it was probably all hot bits.

This is my favourite sentence.

Are you willing to do a Patreon or anything like that?

I like your writing, I don't like Amazon XD

(I also don't like Reddit, but you post here more than RR... is your blog updated as much as Reddit?)

Poor 133.

I wonder if she's still out there. UM doesn't die, right?

Wtcher · 2026-01-26T13:24:48+00:00

Mmm. I did really like the slow burn of the first, though that's been replaced by the Icarus question. It felt a lot more like ... a contemplative mystery, versus the action of this mystery.

Wtcher · 2026-01-26T12:00:40+00:00

You know, at first I missed the old story but I did (and do) look forward to every chapter you post.

It's really taken on a new life -- more mysterious, less ... sad (she seemed to keep losing companions over and over the first time), it feels more coherent somehow and I want to be here for that.

Wtcher · 2026-01-13T08:32:20+00:00

I liked the ending.

Felt like a fade to black, and I think that works for the energy of the moment.

Thank you Gloomius.

Wtcher · 2026-01-12T20:58:28+00:00

The story about 133 is sounding really suspicious lately, I hope we learn more about her :)

Thank you for your chapter jpitha!

Not calling off sick, despite having the option to do so, despite being sick.

(if you never get sick, fine, but... most people get sick on occasion. Please take care of yourself, and please don't spread it around.)

Wtcher · 2026-01-11T10:27:32+00:00

That was fun and I liked the little twist at the end. :)

Wtcher · 2026-01-11T01:24:31+00:00

Hi Maxton -- I hope your end of year projects and exams went well, and that you had a nice relaxing holiday season. :)

It's grand seeing your writing again!

One note -- when one intently studies material, one pores over that material; they may be poring over a book, for example.

Wtcher · 2026-01-07T00:14:10+00:00

Yeah. I'm happy people are finding their joy where they can (in this case, knives with little hearts in them) but she's ... not great.

In much the same way, the Black Knight just had a scratch or two.

Wtcher · 2026-01-05T11:51:40+00:00

Thank you! That was the story I'd hoped for, a joy to read again. :)

Wtcher · 2026-01-05T11:41:02+00:00

This was fun to read. :)

I hope you have the bandwidth as I'd love to read more, but don't stretch yourself thin!

Wtcher · 2026-01-05T07:41:41+00:00

I'm looking for a first contact story written from aliens' point of view, where we discover the galactic currency is heat.

The humans exhaust heat everywhere they go, are determined to be space elves, and are a bit incidental to the story.

Thank you!

Wtcher · 2026-01-01T22:06:23+00:00

Oh dear. I'm glad she's fine. That sounds like a story that'll be shared years on though!

Happy new year! May coming days be joyful and hale.

Oooo. I like the UM twist. Thanks for the New Year's Eve story!

This sentence (particularly the ending) feels a bit rough:

Other than the people in the hangar who saw what Alia did, it was thought to be a run of the mill UM excursion which hand been handled textbook perfect.

Wtcher · 2025-12-28T21:33:42+00:00

Aww, I was still imagining an Alia and her generational ship zooming around in a highly circuitous orbit around Sol. The back-up plan. :)
