  • Thank you kind Sir. But acshially… “The word in English was originally spelled gantelope or gantlope,[7] but soon its pronunciation was influenced by the unrelated word gauntlet, meaning an armored glove, derived from the French: gantelet.[1] The spelling changed with the pronunciation.” I.e. not “the same” word, per se. The fact that they are two completely different words, accidentally spelled the same, is the solution to this riddle. And I bet my Austrian pair of buttocks that a majority of native English speakers is unaware of that fact, believing instead that the type of gauntlet in this meme actually has something to do with armored gloves.







  • “Ain’t got no place to lay your head, somebody came and took your bed / Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” Klarer Fall von toxischer Positivität. Er zählt lauter Beispiele für beschissene Situationen im Leben auf, in denen man sich ganz zu Recht bedrückt oder hoffnungslos fühlen kann. Der Ratschlag, sowas doch positiv zu sehen, ist irgendwo zwischen idiotisch, schädlich und herzlos. Der Song ist geil, aber falls der Text ernst gemeint ist (was ich nicht glaube), ist seine Botschaft auch dumm.





  • Indeed, I meant mostly LLMs, but also image generating AIs. I don’t know of they have much in common in the way they work, but what is commonly described as generative AI. They are responsible for A) the hype and B) the horrible bullshit, mayhem and destruction being visited on the world ever since their spread.
