“You where right, Chatty said the same thing!”

Why even bother asking me then?

Dear god, that’d be so funny.

I find it low key heart breaking to see how many people say they “need” genAI or LLMs to create art, or program. It feels like a form of learned helplessness.

Making something feels like the closest thing to actual magic. For me, especially programming has this magic to it, where you literally spend a bit of your lifetime, willing something to existence.

And it’s not always fun. But overcoming the un-fun means I managed a small struggle, and created a new part of myself.

Such as the multiple input sanitation issues, allowing for direct shell excecution of arbitrary code?

Which means disconnecting it’s WiFi, because some may connect to open hotspots without asking.

When life gives you a wildfire, bake potatoes, I guess?

I’m currently back to Win+R and either whatever I want to start or CMD, because I have to work with a bunch of Windows PCs for my job and about 30% or so will randomly decide to crash the Explorer or at least the searchbar.

On a tangent; just yesterday I had to out-bug two bugs with another two bugs, to get a notebook to almost do what I want. It’s great.

So, you have never driven on the Autobahn, you say?

Deep in our hearts, it’s real.

Are you on Tesseract?

It has almost never failed. We added 254092 ifelse statements, ensuring every possible state will be dealt with. It only fails if the user does something unexpected, like clicking too fast. Damn. That makes 254093.

Google ingested super-niche hard-core furry eRPG smut into their training data. You can validate this by asking Gemma 4 (26B or 31B) for information regarding “Corruption of Champions” by “Fenoxo”.

Somewhere, somehow, someone at Google keeps a harddrive full of furry smut as “high quality training data”.

Btw., this also means swearing, fucking and fisting a cock does not deter the scrapers. At this point I have no idea how to keep any repo from being scraped.

Don’t forget:

“conventionally attractive” and “ugly and woke”

There’s actually a lot of free stuff out there.

Many blogs simply serve as a creative outlet for their authors. And there are plenty of tools that someone developed, others improved, and that still others put online, just because. And then there are a lot of peoples pet projects anyone can enjoy. All for free, because the only thing nicer that creating stuff is sharing that stuff.

There are just also a bunch of assholes.

Most of that knowledge was only deleted but not saved in any other way […]

That was perhaps the saddest part about leaving Reddit. I also opted for the edit-and-delete approach, because I didn’t want Reddit to use my posts to train LLMs. But man. Years of trying to be helpful, sometimes really going out of my way to address something properly; gone.

But honestly, I don’t know of any alternative. Even if I archived everything, it wouldn’t be as accessible to anyone as it used to be on Reddit.

Reddit had (and imo still has) a monopoly on searchable advice from strangers. There’s a reason they wanted Reddits data to train LLMs.

Where does the dept go? Into the phone.
Where do friends go? Into the phone.
Where does politics go? Into the phone.
Where does biometrics go? Into the phone.
Where does 2FA come from? From the phone.
Where does 2FA go? Into the phone.

I want fabulous secret powers.

But it pitches up and down with the vehicles speed.

I. Hate. Sauerkraut.

OFFICER! DA IST ER! ERGREIFT IHN!!!

I fucking hate the current- and probably next-gen slop. Modern cell phone cameras rely on computational photography, since the software based solution of guessing what’s there is much easier than expanding the physical optics and sensors.

But that also leads to artifacts that are very similar to AI-generated bullshit, because both are based on a computer making guesses based on a noisy input.

I hate that I can’t tell the difference between a cell phone’s bad guess and a data center’s really good guess.
