i looked at dis "stop doin math" funi, n thought "eh - why not" n now i made dis.

generally tried to keep it as close to the original as possibl, while also makin it maria-themed - so here we go. i think it turned out preddi well.

in case dis post blows up n reaches the lemmy world peeps who dun kno me, here a little note to all u who r about to write a comment bout my writin style:

  • i dun hav a stroke, n so do u.

n for anyone curious, here the matrix multiplication thingy i mentioned in smol text. tldr: google put their gemini-2.0 into a loop of tryin stff out, n at som point it came up with the currently fastest matrix multiplication method to date.

EDIT:

for anyone even more curious (only read this if u care bout my stance)yes, dis post is kindsa meant to be sepf-deprecating humor.

u might wondr buut mariaaaaa - why??? whads self-deprecating bout postin out the obvious downsides of current ml systems?

well let me tell u a story ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฅง

(which i wrote btw, no language model was used)

once upon a time, there was a maria ๐ŸŒธ in a magical world of gud ๐ŸŸข and evil ๐ŸŸฃ.

maria ๐ŸŒธ hated how the evil magic ๐ŸŸฃ was destroying the environment: evil powerful magic-wielders ๐Ÿ˜ˆ would create huge evil-magic-producers ๐ŸŸช with the hope of replacing the human!

she also hated how suddenly, these dark-magic creatures ๐Ÿ’œ wud write boring useless text and create uncanny scary imagery. typical of the evil-magics ๐Ÿ˜ˆ, she ๐ŸŒธ thought.

the black-magic-advancements ๐ŸŸฃ at the time scared her so much, she believed all of human work could be replaced with this new dark magic ๐ŸŸฃ! she imagined a future where no peep worked, with many takin their lifes becuz they felt it was meaningless without goals to achieve.


despite all dis, maria ๐ŸŒธ imagined they cud be used for gud, so she ๐ŸŒธ lead one of the little creatures ๐Ÿ’œ home. not to profit from, but to see what it ๐Ÿ’œ cud do ~

at home, she ๐ŸŒธ put the dark creature ๐Ÿ’œ into a bunni-cage ๐Ÿ‡, wrote a page of instructions and pushed it thru the cage to the creature ๐Ÿ’œ

it ๐Ÿ’œ licked the page, and started pretending to do the task, by writing down the actions it ๐Ÿ’œ would take... but not actually doing them...

turns out, she ๐ŸŒธ had to let the written text be turned into actual actions using another well-known ancient spell: text-parsing ๐ŸŸข :o

after bits of tinkerin, maria ๐ŸŒธ ... didn hav anythin useful, but she had fun trynna make the lil one ๐Ÿ’œ do increasingly complex tasks. at som point, she felt accelerated by her own doings, n put it ๐Ÿ’œ into a larger, bear-sized cage, n gave it ๐Ÿ’œ much longer, mor complex instructions

she ๐ŸŒธ wud change its ๐Ÿ’œ personality, look at its ๐Ÿ’œ own writing, refine it, revise it, test its ๐Ÿ’œ ideas, see its ๐Ÿ’œ own failure n keep on tryin.

...

unknowingly, she ๐ŸŒธ had becom a black magic wielder ๐ŸŸฃ. she ๐ŸŒธ had becom, whad she ๐ŸŒธ hated so much ๐ŸŸฃ -

though maria ๐ŸŒธ didn giv brith to the monster ๐Ÿ’œ (which wud increase environmental problms), she only fed it ๐Ÿ’œ vrri little magical energy (much less than others wud use to play magic games) - n didn share the creatures ๐Ÿ’œ scribbles with others, cuz she didn wana be like those other peeps ๐ŸŸฃ who pretend the output is worth sharin.

she ๐ŸŒธ imagined her frens frowning upon her, once findin out bout her ๐ŸŒธ "hobby" ๐ŸŸฃ.

...

one question bugged her tho:

aftr all dis time, am i still maria ๐ŸŒธ? or hav i becom... maria ๐Ÿ˜ˆ?

she couldnt answer dis question.


the end

oh yea - u prolli need som context:

i am developin an lm-based helper thingy for godot game engine for about a year by now. dis is why the post is kindsa self-deprecating, its cuz im litrlli buildin a thing which "does tasks". vrri funi.

anway, plz dun call be an ai-sis, i did make dis funi pictur aftr all, so i must be sane, right?

(plz be cool bout dis >o< )


^ ^ ^ dis includes a little story too btw - its got mojis! ^ ^ ^

Oddly enough I think the reason LLMs blew up was because you could essentially โ€œgoogleโ€ with them.

Google search has gone to complete shit in the last decade that itโ€™s impossible to find anything on what youโ€™re looking for without parsing a lot of garbage text thatโ€™s meant to add more SEO keywords, but isnโ€™t actually meant to help you understand anything.

Now a tool comes along that can summarize and parse the garbage out.

Give it 10-15 years and LLMs will be shittified as well.

i kindsa agree with u here, evn if i dun use them LMs for search myslelf.

even tho i feel it mostly blew up cuz dis initial "chatgpt moment" was somethin truly fresh n new for so many peeps. It rlli felt magical havin a computr seemingly kno a gud response to every message u throw at it - - - - dis magic moment is what got me excited - n guess what: i still am excite and magicified!

parsing info - is one of those things LMs r reasonably gud at. so evn if future LMs r worse than todays, we cn jus use the "old" models (our current ones) instead. They wont kno future knowledge ofcourse - but theyll be useful for stff we kno right now-

if them companies presented these LM features as options, n not huge ui elements takin up screen space, mayb peeps wud be happier to use it.

if googl stopped showin dis huge "ai summary" panel, but instead a smol "summarize results" button, the ai-haters wud be happy, n googl wud spare som inference costs-

buuuuuuuut nope - them googlz jus wana hav us look at the slop we didn ask for. investors r happi iguess.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Donโ€™t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Donโ€™t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but donโ€™t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Donโ€™t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we donโ€™t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they havenโ€™t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like โ€œthis statement can be considered transphobicโ€ rather than โ€œyou are being transphobicโ€.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You donโ€™t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
