I recently gave a talk on political risk assessment in strategic decision making for global businesses. While preparing I uncritically ran my notes past an LLM chatbot. It made some comments on the structure, then asked:

Do you want the final part to feel like sober risk management or an alarmist warning about extreme breakdown scenarios?

So now even the bot thinks I'm edging towards the apocalypse. What next. Malcom Tucker style faux praise. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

So, I watched that @TechConnectify video, but given the hour here in the UK, I'm afraid I nodded off (while agreeing with it and planning to pick it up again in the morning). Woke up again at around 1:01:08.

Stayed woke.

I succumbed to the temptation to continue my conversation with Gemini impersonating Sydney. Some reflections and a full transcript in this post.

tl;dr - It refused to help crime but was happy to give practical advice on emotional manipulation techniques. Yuck.

For Linux users who want a no-nonsense desktop that stays out of the way, LXQt remains one of the strongest choices available.


I've been using LXQt with labwc for about a year. The productivity gains feel enormous. Labwc's semi-automatic snapping and pseudo-tiling are fantastic for a modern window-stacking compositor on Wayland.

LXQt 2.3.0 brings many improvements to the lightweight Linux desktop

LXQt 2.3.0 continues refining the lightweight Qt desktop with better Wayland support, smoother panel behavior, and everyday usability improvements.
