Everybody should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think

I think about this kind of stuff more than twice a day, it's so cool not knowing where humanity will be in the future

I'm on your side, but don't you think 'grotesquely immoral and unethical' is a bit of an exhaggeration? It's just software.

This honestly seems so stupid. Why?

I don’t like AI slop as much as the next guy, but that part doesn’t seem so bad? Sounds like something anyone could write.

Well that was a difficult read. Sure, it is a problem. But the author seemed so snobby about his music taste. Not very likeable.

What do you mean by churn in this context?

Noita is also procedural, but not static, although I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about.

I don't have the option for this. In the UK. Anyone else?

Not mine, just thought it was funny

Yeah their naming is bad. I've always knew it because of how long the types of poems are but most people don't know poems.

I know right? I'm into both things tech and hip hop, didn't expect them to collide

I am getting a wordpress error so used this: https://web.archive.org/web/20260114073704/https://blog.meta...

Say that again

I viewed it on desktop, I still think it looks pretty good. Not efficient in the way it displays content, but still beautiful.

I did the opposite, I opened the website before looking at the comments and thought it was like a beautiful art gallery too. Then I read the top comment, and thought 'What are they talking about??'. Had a complete opposite feeling.

Where do you find the RSS feed? I can't see a link to it anywhere

How do you even know ANY of that??

An AI-generated thank you letter is not a real thank you letter. I myself am quite bullish on AI in that I think in the long term, much longer term than tech bros seem to think, it will be very revolutionary, but if more people like him have the balls to show awful things are, then the bubble will pop sooner and have less of a negative impact because if we just let these companies grow bigger and bigger without doing actually profitable things, the whole economy will go to shit even more.

I've never been able to get the whole idea that the code is being 'stolen' by these models, though, since from my perspective at least, it is just like getting someone to read loads of code and learn to code in that way.

The harm AI is doing to the planet is done by many other things too. Things that don't have to harm the planet. The fact our energy isn't all renewable is a failing of our society and a result of greed from oil companies. We could easily have the infrastructure to sustainably support this increase in energy demand, but that's less profitable for the oil companies. This doesn't detract from the fact that AI's energy consumption is harming the planet, but at least it can be accounted for by building nuclear reactors for example, which (I may just be falling for marketing here) lots of AI companies are doing.

I can second the Apollo thing. I think it might just be a natural name to give something, because when I was a kid I was working on a voice assistant thing instead of touching grass (never finished it) and called it Apollo. This was probably my first project.

It's not ChatGPT, try paste it into any AI detector.

Of course pictures of gay people doesn't encourage being gay, but being gay is fine. Being a pedophile is not fine. If there is even a small chance that something will cause someone to be a pedophile, it's best to minimize it. We aren't talking about pictures of pedophiles, we are talking about what is, in essence, child pornography. Maybe 'encourages pedophilia' is not a thorough enough way to phrase it, but a 'dormant' pedophile is much more likely to become an 'active' one if they are consuming excessive amounts of media related to their interests.

I know what you mean, but do you not agree that if someone is, let's say, on the point of becoming a pedophile, discovers such media, it will become more and more of what they think about, and what one thinks about determines their actions.

Basic morality and human rights

Exactly, people will watch porn videos of girls being choked or whatever, will be with a girl and assume she will like being choked. Not okay at all.

yeah my 4GB of vram isn't gonna cut it

I'd say it makes a lot of sense. It likely encourages pedophilia, meaning people that consume such things will often adopt a wrong idea of what's okay. It's similar to the way that regular porn affects the brain. I understand where you're coming from, though and I get your point, but I feel if someone consumes a lot of media of a certain type, they begin to 'embody' that media.

Just don't goon.

Excuse me if it's obvious, but how could I run this? I have run local LLMs before, but only have very minimal experience using ollama run and that's about it. This seems very interesting so I'd like to try it.
