yes because not only will it be hella cool, the bastard who sent the trolley will get it right back.

yeah that’s usually how it goes. except when they’re the ones who wrote the book…

…yyyeaaah. absolutely.

we had that book in uni, 5th edition or so i think. it was so expensive that it was cheaper for me to buy an e-book reader and pirate the book. and this was when the original kindle was like 300 bucks.

heck yeah, get your kicks wherever you can girl :)

i do the same thing! that’s not disappointing at all, i totally get it. i run and tweak local diffusion models and compressed llms because i want to see how i can bend and break them, and how they react to out-of-set data. i never share any outputs because that’s not the interesting part. the purpose is learning! that’s a great purpose!

my bosses were the same as your lecturers. for the christmas party last year they made an ai image of themselves as gingerbread men and the result was truly horrifying. they also sent like weekly chatgpt-generated motivational poems in the company newsletter. thank god i am not at that place anymore, some people are waaaaay to into this stuff.

i think the reason you might not have noticed is because we got off on the wrong foot the first few interactions :( the first few times i saw you comment i couldn’t really read your way of writing because of esl brain. when i mentioned that, it seemed to make you sad and i felt really bad about it… then it turned out i have one of those mobile clients that don’t do display names so i got your name wrong and i felt really bad about that too… but i have you tagged now and i read everything you post and i love your takes on things and the energy you bring. also also, even though i know it wasn’t fun for you i really must thank you for your writing changes, it makes it a lot easier for me to follow. i hope you can still get an outlet for that somewhere :(

im not zitrone, i’m lime! i’ve been here a while.

and no, it’s a great post! makes you think about stuff, like most things you do! i see how you could have taken it that way though, sorry about that.

i was trying to say that the human intention behind something is what really matters, regardless of the tools used. i know you’ve dabbled in llms before, and i think that’s fine as long as it’s with a purpose. my main definition of slop is things that are made without a purpose, like just filling websites with text or corporote placeholder art. even the worst quality human-made thing imaginable is better than that because someone wanted to make it.

i really like the word brainmade. because yeah, just because a human made it doesn’t mean it’s good. but if they had an idea, and they created something from it, no matter how, that’s still worth something.

also hiii maria :3

that’s how you know whether it’s an american or european drinking game. my theory is that it’s a religion thing

what? noo :(

yeah you can’t have that many letters at once

how did they get everyone in the country to sign up for football

imagine how good Tums 2 must feel.

have you tried dearrow?

in case the ui control hasn’t made it to you yet, there’s also about:config keys under ai.*.enable and ml.*.enable, or something to that effect.
