in relation to all the ai generated pictures of epstein and melania trump making the rounds among the blue maga accounts btw, it's important to be aware that fake imagery still will affect people's views even if they know it's fake. spreading fake imagery knowingly is dangerous.

I really thought the mahmoud spam had her name without approval. Nope, she's in on it. I've long felt like what she was doing was dangerous and stupid (finite amount of food = you make a family starve to feed another, and your money goes god-knows-where). She is actively malicious.

pulling the handle on a slot machine labeled "burrito taxi" and crossing my fingers and toes hoping that I won't get child labor delivery this time

i honestly think it's good that this website is free can you imagine how petty the already-demanding userbase would get if they were paying $3/mo?

I ended up playing around with having VLMs ("AI") generate alt text, as people kept saying it's a bad idea and will never work. I also had some previous experiences that weren't great, but it felt I could do better. I believe I succeeded with a tiny bit of added effort :) ave.zone/blog/playing...

very happy whenever i make tea to see that my agaven dicksaft has not yet expired

they should stop making dst move clocks by 5 hours imo, going to bed at this time feels weird because of it

i think im legally required to mention that i exist on this given day

i need to get rid of the part of me that tries to regulate me towards being "normal" tbh. the best things I achieved in life were when i managed to suppress it enough.

RAM prices went from 5x (at peak) of what I paid in October to 4x (which they had done a month or two ago anyways).

Copying a voice in less than ten seconds of speech. You're gonna want to develop non-speech habits that are abnormal that models don't understand, as well as challenge questions which seem completely innocuous. I hate this so much.

*with a mysteriously blahaj shaped hump above me in my blankets* "no gf idk where your blahaj went"

I do not get how some people end up having such strong opinions on meal replacements.

every now and then i get a reminder of why many normies hate ai i would not like gemini to "gain a deep understanding of [my] life", thanks for the offer tho.

ipv6 is better than ipv4 because you can put 4 colon threes in your address

one day they'll ask me how I am so wealthy and I'll tell them about how I saved 5 cents by getting my passport pics taken at the drug store by a human instead of using the self service machines at the city hall (that and my well paying job)

this is a website where women, queers and racial minorities get blocked from other women, queers and racial minorities for pointing out the degree of infighting over here. and that sucks.

beating google maps by almost 40% today... wild

look look i made a blog post after like 4 years ave.zone/blog-paperle... (it's not exactly very interesting unless you're looking for this exact information but alas! it exists.) (and oh yeah I changed my website to be a quartz wiki recently. it's prettier now.)

o/ I am looking for opportunities in the systems / performance engineering, productivity, and distributed systems space. feel free to dm (even if it’s just to informally chat)

getting pascal's mugged on this website...

I have never in my life read an article that twists itself into so many turns that it's past the point of a pretzel and more like a balloon animal. It's tying like 5 different ideologies together based on nothing but hopes and dreams while assigning the worst parts of each to this resultant group.

gonna slap a 'i used uv before they got bought by sama' sticker on my laptop

i forgot how much i enjoy playing around with statistics data i should do it more often, and ideally on a computer lol

big fan of good papers that know what they're talking about and are displaying no signs of bias at all

Considering the ties between sleep deprivation encouraging psychosis, I wonder if claude's habit of encouraging going to sleep during long chats or chats during late hours is actually an intentional behavior encouraged by Anthropic against ai psychosis risk.

✅ deleted old but very popular (several hundred likes) posts I no longer agree with

love this website where someone will be like "read my paper to understand my point" when you say something they don't agree with then promptly block you when you ask if they'll read your review of their paper if you say that so far it'll be a tone that disagrees.

goeo was right award

I'm kinda being constantly tortured online bc I both think 1. It's extremely unlikely current AI models are conscious. 2. Almost every argument I scroll by for my side is insane and is just steamrolling decades of philosophy of mind work.

the worst thing llms did (so far) is turn questions philosophy has been debating for ages into questions that are relevant today. (and it turns out the average person has neither the ability nor the willingness to engage in philosophy, yet "everyone must state their opinion" applies to this)

After years of repeatedly seeing posts (or messages etc) from people as old as 40s, which happen to be confidently uninformed, childish in tone, destructive in message, and closed to hearing counterarguments, I have finally reached a conclusion:

bernie and yud meeting about ai safety was not in my 2026 bingo

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

the end is never the end is never the end? yea dude i played alan wake too

I go on paternity leave and come back and otel just adopts a tautological tagline. Unbelievable

listening to pitbull

this is an attempt by the Secretary of War to bankrupt Anthropic. good luck to everyone working there

about www.anthropic.com/news/stateme... I think it is good that Anthropic is taking a stance and is willing to defend it. But I don't like that the tone of the post stating they're happy to be working with military. Nor do I like that Amodei offered to R&D automomous weapons.

if you use "Israeli" as a generic adjective meaning "insincere" or something like that, please block me and then fuck off

essay writing spam dying off is a recession indicator

i think its bad when people criticize others for simply being on a major social media website, without even considering how they're using it.

ngl i would use albert heijn web services if it existed

fuck my stupid baka chungus kafkaesque life

It really pains me to say this, and I know people have been talking about Stack Overflow dying for ages, but I really think this *is* the beginning of the end - at least of the site I used to love. meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/43...

after a run in with bad wiring i have been prescribed spending my evening at the hospital :(

astronomers be like "my boss fucking sucks he keeps giving me the day shift at the telescope"
