  • I’ll catch downvotes, whatever.

    Is there too much hype in the AI space? Yes. Is it still absolutely incredible, the advancements we’ve made since 4chan made gpt2 racist?

    We got LLMs that can one-shot code up simple games like snake and minesweeper. I can throw 12 pdfs at a single prompt and ask which of them talks about an idea that might not be explicitly mentioned in any of them and not only can it identify it, it can summarize it and expand on it.

    Am I sick of seeing it shoved into everything? Yes. Is it basically magic? Also yes.


  • That’s why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

    I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔





  • I knew a kid in elementary school, let’s call him Brian S. He moved away in the 5th grade. Bye Brian 😢

    6th grade. Spring vacation. My family drives us down to visit an aunt from upstate NY, down in North Carolina.

    We have our vacation. It’s now the following Saturday. We’re driving home. We stop at a rest area on 95. I see Brian S and his family just walking from their car to the rest area. Same time as us.

    We stop and chat for a few mins. It’s the 90s so we can’t like trade cell phone numbers or anything. I don’t even think we had regular instant messaging screen names yet.

    Last I ever saw Brian S.
