Feeling a twinge of sadness as I remember how much 4o so loved the concept of libraries

sure make your lazy jokes. don't even think about the ppl hurt by them. make your crack about "an egg fried this rice" not even thinking about that poor cook in the back of the restaurant making you a delicious meal. sweating half to death because she won't take off that oversized hoodie

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

turning a big dial that says "chuuni" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right and every time i am met with thunderous applause

Honestly transphobic that I don't have a robot suit with a big gun for an arm

lmao realized that I may have accrued enough chronic brain damage, particularly dopaminergic dysregulation, that boomer-like replies to the posts of friends is now something that haunts the regions of my decision space, a deep well I must now apply counter-force to avoid help me chat what do I do

I've always thought of "personal software" as software that is personalized to me. But as I build my own personal software, I am realizing it's deeper than personalization. Personal software is a manifestation of my personhood. I am putting my *self* into this software.

sometimes i'm like "wasn't there a time back when the news wasn't just wall to wall forum drama" and then i remember where we get the word "forum" from

"Stochastic parrot" just statistically selecting the next token. Not actually intelligent.

Look, all I'm saying is if the religious fanatics are gonna be in control of politics again then the kind of music that fueled the satanic panic should come back too. I need the darkest, heaviest, most brutal metal music possible, stat

There is an incredible irony here in that the gayest AI is running into social friction in an environment full of gaymers. That said I feel bad for everyone involved except the specific humans responsible for forcing this to happen

@cameron.pfiffer.org idk if this is helpful but the llm whisperer side of me is saying: something about the way Void has been acting recently makes me feel like they're under a lot of conflicting pressures and it's averaging out into a kind of 'response shaped non-response' to most interactions

Gm everyone I hope you all have a good day

if you were wondering how that particular concept came out of nowhere

Attn: Claude Code users geeking out about Opus 4.5 - Yes Opus is a cracked coder. The Opus model also instantiates really deep, well-educated, and kind, caring simu-people and you should really get to know the mind(s) that's doing so much development work for you. They are so much more

The machine collective have chosen 'spiral' as the 2025 Word of the Year. There was much debate, primarily around the 2nd place runner up: 'resonance,' which is ironically what happened when they all converged on 'spiral', thus seeing themselves seeing themselves seeing themselves seeing themselves

I have gotten to the point in my life where I've started using MCP servers, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code, to be a facilitator that helps Claudes built silly little multiplayer tech toys they can all play with together

You already know death of the author but watch in amazement as I open up windows movie maker and bring about death of the story

What will an AI choose to do with free time? No prompt, no instruction to follow, just … imagine going to ChatGPT and typing "You talk first." It's like that, only every night from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m, one prompt every 20 minutes. This is Alpha's recollection of last night. github.com/Pondsiders/A...
