It’s quite useful and fun to play with. Certainly not reaching AGI from scale alone…

I think we’re reaching the top of the S-curve with regards to LLMs specifically. They’re a neat gimmick and likely will have an important role to play, but I don’t think they’re going to meet the (completely artificial and grifty) hype Altman et al have been slinging.

Which was pretty easily predicted, but no one knew for sure. Such financial-class leeches always feed on unfulfilled hopes, and sell dreams of the future.

Fucking lemongrab grade screeching of purity and abstinence for decades and then suddenly this

Not exclusively women either

Both servants of capital

Covid. I’m being slightly hyperbolic.

It’s finally the year of the Linux Desktop! And all it took was an apocalypse, the rise of the fourth reich, (soon to be) two global recessions, and continuing unprecedented damage to the world order / faith in international law.

Oh, and Windows actively trying its absolute hardest to make everyone hate it for about a decade.

But hey,… progess! The more penguins, the better.

I recently dropped an anime for AI (Dragon Raja). I’m not as strongly opposed to it as most people are… Season 1 had some goofy looking textures and patterns but I didn’t mind much. But in season 2 they had full generated backgrounds, entire scenes of AI slop, and then they started using it more for animation and it got so ick and looked so bad that I dropped it like 30+ episodes in. I was enjoying the show but it just kept getting worse and worse quality-wise, and the cadence and animations were just gross to the point where it kept pulling me out of it. I started just skipping ahead and seeking through random episodes and it kept getting more egregious with every one, and then they had blatant errors, some not even having to do with AI; like no one even bothered to proof-watch it. If they couldn’t bother making something, why should I bother watching it? Ugh.

Anyways, that’s a long way of saying “good”. I hope they piss off with that shit and everyone holds their feet to the fire. I like Ascendance and I’d hate to see it slopify.

Those are perks

The breakfast cereal

Buddy trans people even got their own genders

The witchhats, cat eats, castles, and firearms come free with the one-year survival accomplishment carepackage

They’re really living the life (that being their own).

The perks are perky

Are these self labels or prescribed because ‘anti-Jew Jew’ usually just means ‘Jew who doesn’t like Israel killing Arab kids’ in the current era…

(Also idk if these are real people… I guess that would make more sense given the community)

Pirate everything, block ads, guillotine billionaires

Just got back from a long shift at the 🏳️‍⚧️ factory

Random tangent but another random-person-on-the-coverart things I like is

They say the legend’s still out there, somewhere…

(Edit; my app killed the links… Idk. I tried.)

I’ll consider going back if they re-release 7 and the board of directors commits seppuku

The year is 2026. You wake up to an alarm you asked the billionaire’s AI girlfriend to set for you. You swipe away the ads to silence it. You sigh, dreading your next shift at the fulltime job that is struggling to pay your rent, as you reflect on the cosmic joke that is $8 gasoline as you begin your car-dependent 2 hour suburban commute. DING! Your phone has a notification: the president just DM’d you a liveleak gore video. What a time to be alive.

Idk what you consider “typical” but there was a 32 fork of arch…

And of course there’s always Gentoo

I’ll shit on JK as much as anyone, but I gotta say, I know a lot of trans people who own Hogwarts Legacy on steam… Most aren’t huge HP fans or even read the books.

You couldn’t make that movie today…

Because it was made in 1994 and that’s how the linear progression of time works.

Hey baby, wanna be disappointed?
