How do LLMs change the nature of writing? (My thoughts here)
1. It becomes easy to churn out lots of low quality content.
2. But nobody wants to read all that shit. Ultimately this will eliminate many genres of routine writing: no more cover letters, work emails can become slack messages with just the bullet points.
3. Reliable/reputable writing outlets will remain in high demand.

Tram tracks coming out of a depot are a menace. Just slipped on them on my bike. The chain derailed in a nasty way, had to spend like 10 min fiddling with it until it was back on. As you can imagine my hands were black with grease at the end of the process. Great fun.
@Cat poni, Whorseman of Apocalypse To extract money from older poor people, for younger victims there's an even more evil industry, the "online casinos". At least physical casinos force you to get out of your home and maybe talk to people.
@Cat poni, Whorseman of Apocalypse Except the very upper scale ones like those you see in Monte-Carlo, casinos are mostly such incredibly depressing places. Especially in a town like Blacksburg, they aren't playing fun games like poker, blackjack or even the roulette.
I don't even know if casino is the proper word, it's a place where you can gamble in slot machines or play air hockey
@Cat poni, Whorseman of Apocalypse I was there, it was sunny but insanely windy, it was unbearable to be anywhere near the sand.
The most depressing part was definitely the casinos, vintage 80s wallpaper and old people feeding coins into the seediest gambling machines.
But we had fun in an escape room and going to the movies.
