Musician, nerd, anxious.

  • I absolutely love him as Gay Perry! Outstanding movie.

  • I have not seen that one yet, perhaps I'll give it a look!

  • I actually didn't even remember him in that until now, I suppose he was alright, but I agree, the role wasn't exactly exercise in acting.

  • Such a strange little, uhm, love(?) story!

  • Jared Leto (I don't know why, I just really don't like him), but there are no roles of his that I like. In fact, he has ruined a few movies for me. I was actually really excited about Tron: Ares until the casting was revealed.

  • Is it actually federating yet?

  • That is insanity. Meanwhile I sit in my backyard right now that is so overgrown I can barely see my large dog... I should probably be shot too. They brought a tank to a code enforcement situation.

  • Shower thoughts in the shower? Hmm...

  • Already setup! I think the first thing I want to do is setup retrieval augmented generation. Several of my hobby ideas will require it I think. Started trying to read up on it a couple days ago and I had a serious lack of focus going on.

    I've been kind of hoping to come across a super simple way to implement it, but haven't exactly looked much yet.

  • Cool! I'll subscribe. I've got about a dozen projects I'd like to build with Ollama, if I'll get the motivation and free time who knows?

  • Exactly. The algorithm is literally designed to stop people from thinking about what they actually care about. Of course that has caused deterioration of every aspect of human society to some degree.

  • The algorithm(s) and "For You" pages I think have done more damage to my ideal internet than anything else ever has.

    I have a feeling that someday in the future we'll also see that the algorithm was also responsible for damage to the human mind and society as well.

    Yes, it's Linux.

  • Wow, I haven't seen that in like two decades!

  • I was diagnosed with with ADD in 1992 at 12 years old, and again by a different doctor at 16, but it was the 90s and "we all had ADD!", at least that's what I told myself for the following two and a half decades. I basically gaslit myself into completely dismissing the diagnosis from two separate doctors several years apart. Of course, I also struggled with basically every aspect of what I would have considered "normal life" all the while. I mean, barely able to exist in the Normal World ™ and always wondering why the hell I couldn't just "get my shit together".

    Well, spoiler, it was the ADHD. The incredible thing is, I know about a dozen other people my age who all have the same story as mine. We made a joke of it all and ended up really screwing ourselves over as the punchline.

  • Fuckin gross.

  • “What I can tell, however, is that hating on the tech itself distracts people from blaming those actually responsible, the humans doing the enshittification. The billionaires, dictators...”

    That's something I've been trying to convince people of that I converse with about LLMs and similar generative technology. I've met so many people that just throw a big blanket of hate right over the entire concept of the technology and I just find it so bizarre. Criticize the people and corporations using the tech irresponsibly! It's like a mass redirection of what and who is really to blame. Which I think is partially because "AI" is something that sort of anthropomorphizes itself to a large portion of society and most people think the "personality within" the technology is responsible for the perceived misdeeds.

    I figure when all is said and done and historians and researchers look back on this time, there will be a lot to learn about human behavior that we likely have little grasp of at the moment.

  • Thanks for the tip! I haven't heard of that and I've been looking for something to keep track of this stuff as well.

  • What's the issue with Autism Speaks? I know I saw something negative about it a while back, but I never read into it. I haven't been keeping up with much negative shit lately because there's too much negative shit to keep up with.

  • His reasoning made perfect sense to me, I don't get the "blackmail / bribe" stuff. Since the very beginning of his project he has been quite vocal about not wanting to cause any sort of harm (financially) to CodeWeavers because they do actually contribute quite a lot to the Wine project whereas Whisky did not.
