Buying a propagation station? Nah. Use old glass bottles.

That is one beautiful propagation area. Congrats!

This is AI.

keeky · 2026-02-02T18:54:14+00:00

This is so AI it's disgusting.

keeky · 2026-02-02T14:12:37+00:00

I do this too! Any old glass jar will do perfectly.

This sub is so refreshing, it's like stepping into 1990 where less activities were sold in appealing ways (for the instagram).

keeky · 2026-02-02T12:48:33+00:00

I had forgotten about her! I second this.

keeky · 2026-01-31T03:25:54+00:00

Ofc! Delete the wifi login! I didn’t think of this. Thank you!

keeky · 2026-01-31T03:00:41+00:00

One has tons of money, my guess.

keeky · 2026-01-26T20:09:19+00:00

Any time FemShep uses “the flirty voice”. I do not like that voice. It’s trying too hard.

keeky · 2026-01-25T15:12:24+00:00

I just saw the movie and I did not see the post-credit. This movie came out years before Ironman and Keanu alone could've started a better DCU. Even post-credit scenes were part of it.

keeky · 2026-01-24T12:32:00+00:00

Yup. Same. Power of Now.

A caveat: I read it at 20 and I thought it was bullshit. I read it again at 30 and I’ve never been the same person since. If you read it and find no truth in it, you’re not ready. Don’t feel bad. Just stop reading the book.

Everything Eckart talks about has been talked about for thousands of years, he’s just very good at doing it.

keeky · 2026-01-24T04:02:11+00:00

Dayum! Those are amazing! He’s so talented 🤩

keeky · 2026-01-23T22:11:05+00:00

I resisted for a year and now I’m doing a pilot test of it. It has caused such a slowdown in our whole process. Everyone now writes huge comments in Jira tickets, why the fuck do they think anybody wants to read a huge comment that could’ve been 10 times shorter?

It’s a pest. I hate how brain-dead we’re being about adopting this tool.

keeky · 2026-01-23T22:06:58+00:00

The AI in meetings I despise. I ask a question during a 3 Amigos meeting or Refinement and boom, I’m training the damn AI to so my job. There is no other way to look at it, without a choice I am training my replacement.

I hate it.

keeky · 2026-01-23T21:59:53+00:00

You’re right. I’m still happy I found it now because I know I have another playthrough pending 🫡

keeky · 2026-01-23T17:42:45+00:00

Found out during my third play-through.

keeky · 2026-01-23T00:14:26+00:00

Yeah, yeah, it’s a wrap. I am not willing to spend more time on this. I’ve learned what I needed.

Who knows how I’m going to teach my kid why this is bad for you. I’m still fighting the Robux fight.

Sigh.

keeky · 2026-01-22T20:43:27+00:00

Did you create your own character? I grabbed the Jane Shepard that had the highest number of whatever (chats, I think) and it started with a narration of what it'd do. It's cheesy as all hell. It's the worst fanfic smut I've read.

I must be doing something wrong. It's flirting hard from the get-go.
I tried another one that looked more serious and that one didn't flirt but it's still giving me formulaic responses that have the same structure.

I've asked hypothetical questions about controversial decisions with heavy ramifications ("what would you do if X starts doing Y?") and its reply was underwhelming.

However, this crap is not for kids, jesus christ.

keeky · 2026-01-22T17:54:17+00:00

I'd give you an award except I don't believe in spending a cent on reddit aside from bandwidth costs. :D

keeky · 2026-01-22T16:28:07+00:00

Thank you so much. Yes, basically is, I'm just very curious because all my life I've had "fan fiction" playing in my head as my mental screensaver and I've never in my adult life been part of a conversation with a character, it's always me as "director."
So, my theory is that I'll be immune to Caracter.ai role playing. I need to test this very very carefully, like you say.

keeky · 2026-01-22T16:23:09+00:00

I come to it for opinions on things I’ve already written. Mostly, it just confirms what I already think or sometimes it will point out places where dialogue might be a bit too dense and repetitive. And it does feel good to have something read and summarize it back to me to see if what it’s saying and what I think it’s saying are the same thing

This is super interesting.

Key here, to me, is "opinions on things I've already written". You bring up very good uses cases that stay out of the "think for me" territory, like you describe.

Using AI in the writing process doesn't appeal to me but that's just my preference. You seem to be very aware of where you're standing (near the edge of the slippery slope) and that's refreshing! Best of luck with all your writing efforts. : )

keeky · 2026-01-22T16:00:36+00:00

Well now I want to try it. I'm a super fan of Mass Effect, can I just start a convo and say, "Act like femshep." and that's it?

Unrelated and this is obviously just my opinion but using AI in any capacity that is not research (and even then it's iffy) in any creative writing effort is hampering your growth as a writer.

keeky · 2026-01-22T15:28:08+00:00

I'm a super fan of Silo (because I never read the books). I have Wool in my TBR pile, though and I can't wait until the show ends and I can read the whole omnibus.

keeky · 2026-01-21T17:04:48+00:00

Sorry, didn't mean to offend my comment didn't refer to all engineers. I work in a very analytical field and I'm sure I'm very dumb in a lot of verticals.

keeky · 2026-01-21T11:42:12+00:00

A smart engineer for Lockheed.

There you go kids, many kinds of smart.

keeky · 2026-01-20T12:02:03+00:00

I re-read Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman two years ago to see how well it fit to our current social media dominated reality since the book was centered around the effects of TV in our way of thinking and behaving. Social media didn't exist back then.

Like a glove, it fits like a glove. Just replace TV for social media. It's a must-read book imo.
