off on his tiny moon as i recall like being hitched to uh a bunch of birds like carrying him back to earth so i'm with you on all of that i'm a hundred percent i'm a woman yes yes on that return to the office is like okay he's he's been working from home on his tiny planet and now he's like being forced to come back to the office on his string of birds I feel silly saying it out loud.

That's getting... You know, sometimes I, like, sometimes I, I mean, sometimes I just go, like, you know how it gets, like, when you are, like, writing something or you... you start getting deeper and deeper. And like, sometimes you're like, have I just wandered up my own asshole? And sometimes that same feeling can be expressed in absolute confidence.

And I think like that, that this might be, I've wandered up my asshole and this is perfect.

I still love it. Even though, even though reading it, like my justification out loud sounds like a prompt gone wrong.

Yeah, well, thank you. I felt like, you know, that one I just felt like was almost too on the nose. I do love... So, you know, my complaint with Mastodon, which is, I mean, other than it being boring, which I'm... Apparently, nobody gave me flack on that from saying the last week, so I'll say it again.

So on this one, someone on Mastodon was like, you know, you know, the Shroud of Torin is actually a negative image and you've done a positive image. What you are referring to as Linux. I call it GNU Linux. I just... I just loved that. I felt like that was a very Mastodon comment and I appreciate it.

Oh, I should also mention, you know, on the XZ image, someone on Mastodon was like, why didn't you just draw it by hand? Like, why, why did you go through all the trouble of like plugging into a physics simulator and doing this and that and whatever and, I would just do the physical simulation in my head and draw it by hand. So first of all, here's my free advice to everyone.

Just like the phrase, why didn't you just? You can just leave that aside. You don't even need to use that phrase ever again. So why didn't I just do it? Because I fucking can't. Because I don't know how to do that. I can't draw that. What are you talking about? I'm not that good. I can barely trace it on a screen without my hand shaking. So that's why I didn't just do that.

I remember my recollection. So that one is, I think during the episode, correct if I'm wrong, but we talked about like,

I remember my recollection. So that one is, I think during the episode, correct if I'm wrong, but we talked about like,

a llm uh kind of making subtle perturbations of say an image of flamingo until a classifier decides actually it's not a flamingo it's a bus cool bus yeah yeah and that's a great episode nicholas crony are one of our only guests uh that we had twice in the year uh and another great episode yeah So, and so I decided to make a bus that looked like a flamingo, right? Like a kind of more on the nose.
