just remembered that #我的三体 exists and I haven't seen any of it #mythreebody

if anyone feels like anti-AI “purity culture” is a legit problem, to the extent that it is, *this* is what it looks like — unfounded, unsourced accusations of AI use where none is actually present: https://youtu.be/k9xxEU0ywqU?si=2IOALN2wJnmWxWPb

RE: https://mastodon.social/@simple_sabotage/116121385465705323 sometimes I read these snippets from the simple sabotage manual and think "hmm, that's just how programming already works"

once again using `strace` in anger: ``` sudo strace -o scratch/zoom_debug/zoom.txt --output-separately --follow-forks -p $(pgrep -i zoom | tr '\n' ',') ```

huh someone just pointed out to me that github's "a user you blocked contributed to this repository" warning box does not pop up on the `claudes-c-compiler` repo on github I guess msft has some kind of carve-out to suppress that feature sometimes?

In about 45 minutes, I'm going to join in on Monsterdon, a communal movie-watching event. Lots of posts. Mute the tag or me as you see fit if that bugs you! More info here: https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/111004128276431553

Didn't realize Hannah Fry was doing a documentary on "AI", but just watched an interview she did with New Scientist to promote it. I'm a bit disappointed by some of her views. Mostly that "human-level capability on all tasks" is "not too far off" as she put it.

@recursive one must have a positive image of the future to make progress

@SnoopJ only thing that can stop a bad guy with a sprach is a good guy with a spiel

falsifying user counts to make "AI" look more impressive than it is has real "ship bricks" energy to it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniScribe#Fraud_and_failure «The managers rented a second warehouse in Colorado, where they personally packed 26,000 bricks into hard drive boxes and shipped […]

I'm still so stuck on "we need to make more electrons". Breathtakingly dumb. I cannot get past how foolish the leaders of the "AI" craze are.

i often ask people to only reply to my posts in certain ways (like “please only reply if you find man hard to use”) It’s because sometimes I get hundreds of replies a day and if folks don’t stay on topic then the replies get so repetitive that it’s almost impossible for me to learn new […]
