I really like OpenBSD. I have used it for years. I feel the folks there are very helpful and awesome but I also do not like that graphic.

You are not supposed to, it is intended to represent(and probably is) a machine generated image.

I have not really formalized my thoughts on the matter, but it boils down to. It feels great to get the machine to generate a thing for you but it feels terrible to receive a thing from somebody that is machine generated.

The worse part is the paranoia, Now I am seeing "tells" of machine generated content, and it may or may not be. But I have already lost interest.

The real irony would be that it is a hand drawn image carefully animated to feel machine generated.

To be fair, I'm reading it as satire of AI. So not liking it is kind of the point.

I mainly don't like the self-destructive aspect. Even if it's a spoof.

Especially when I see all the self-destructive goings-on in the world, based on senselessly divisive beliefs or just the power-seeking that generates them to divide and conquer.

I once met Ken Bering, "The Wheelchair Guy" whose foundation provided wheelchairs for people who could not afford them. The wheels weren't spiked, nor were they like a Seinfeld episode, where George donates a cheap wheelchair with poor brakes that sends its occupant down a steep hill.

Oh well.

They're just showing humility. Give them a break.
