weird fuck's post reads to me as the mistake of thinking web/js is uniquely capable of dynamic code loading

what is stopping a desktop or mobile client from running new/different code? the only solution im aware of (we're in halting problem territory here, probably, though grapheneos has "prevent DCL from storage/memory" toggles so idk) is to inspect the code to make sure it does what they say and then cryptographically sign it

i made the stupid mistake of doing math, then cs

surrounded by

my narrow technical specialty + lack of experience or knowledge of other fields = i'm the smartest, here is a trivial solution to your problem

you can save even more time by not doing the work at all

the output is more consistent than what an LLM shits out, too

Edit: serious note, even though you probably aren't worth anyone's time: you may be conflating the technology's actual use cases (as an accountability sink and to spread misinformation) with the intentions of its creators. and the real reason higher-ups are pushing this is because they're pliant dipshits that would eat dogfood if the bowl was labelled "FOMO". also they hate paying employees

the question was rhetorical, but also thank you for the links! <3

i am not surprised that they are all this dumb: it takes an especially stupid person to decide "yes, i am fine allowing this machine to speak for me". even more so when it's made clear that the machine is a stochastic parrot trained via exploitation of the global south and massive amounts of plagiarism and that it also cooks the planet

i bought some bullshit from amazon and left a ~~somewhat~~ pretty mean review because debugging it was super frustrating

the seller reached out and offered a refund, so i told them basically "no, it's ok, just address the concerns in my review. let me update my review to be less mean-spirited


i was pretty frustrated setting it up but it mostly works fine"

then they sent a message that had the "llm vibe", and the rest of the conversation went

Seller: You're right — we occasionally use LLM assistance for responses, but every message is reviewed to ensure accuracy and relevance to your concerns. We sincerely apologize if our previous replies dissatisfied you; this was our oversight.

Me: I am not simply dissatisfied. I will no longer communicate with your company and will update my review to note that you sent me synthetic text without my consent. Please do not reply to this message.

Seller: All our replies are genuine human-to-human communication with you, without using any synthetic text. It's possible our communication style gave you a different impression. We aim to better communicate with you and absolutely did not intend any offense. With every customer, we maintain a conscientious and responsible attitude in our communications.

Me: "we occasionally use LLM assistance for responses"
"without using any synthetic text"
pick one

are all promptfondlers this fucking dumb?

is it cynical that i find the idea of a "latent space" a bit goofy? may just be because i think data science is kind of a joke and much machine learning is "we threw shit at our model but don't know what a category error is"

like it's just dimensionality reduction with new vocab?

colonise the light cone by exploring latent space

Can someone explain what this is referring to? I don't understand it.

Breaking free from the butthole

is this the best thing i've ever read?

i am an android user, but in the us not having an iphone can be tedious, so i set up openbubbles

did y'all know that apple lets its users create emojis with "AI" and these things come through as images to non-iphones?

thought i was past the "apple users incidentally harass non-apple users through imessage" thing, but this shit makes me want to just tell everyone that i will only answer messages on signal messenger
