Honestly, I’ve gotten more laughs out of messing with markov chains with my friends than anything ChatGPT could put out

Cool (horrifying) look into one of the active Russian bot farms and their use of generative AI
I suddenly feel a lot less bad about him having his game copied and re-sold because he released it under public domain. Maybe the ‘left’ in copyleft scared him
Hateful and stupid 🤝
I hate that I saw that same post earlier today
Here’s a quote from the book:
AI already transcends human perception — in a sense, through chronological compression or “time travel”: enabled by algorithms and computing power, it analyzes and learns through processes that would take human minds decades or even centuries to complete.
Glad to know the calculators I had in school were capable of time travel
People are so, so, so bad at telling what’s a bot and what’s real. I know social media is swarming with bots, but if you’re interacting with somebody who’s saying anything more complicated than “P o o s i e I n B i o” it’s probably not a bot. A similar thing happens in online games, too, and it’s usually the excuse people use before harassing someone else
But damn the lengths people will go to to avoid admitting they were wrong. This comment chain just keeps going on with somebody who’s convinced {origin="RU"}{faith="bad"}{election_manipulation="very yes"}
must be real because something something microservices: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1dlg8ni/russian_bot_falls_prey_to_a_prompt_iniection/l9pbmrw/ It reads like something straight off /r/programming or the orange site
Then it comes full circle with people making joke responses on Twitter imitating the first post, and then other people taking those joke responses as proof that the first one must be real: https://old.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1dimlyl/twitter_is_already_a_gpt_hellscape/l9691c8/
This account kind of kicked up some drama too, basically for the same reason (answering an LLM prompt), but it’s about mushroom ID instead: https://www.reddit.com/user/SeriousPerson9 I’ve seen people like this who use voice-to-text and run their train of thought through ChatGPT or something, like one person notorious on /r/gamedev. But people always assume it’s some advanced autonomous bot with stochastic post delays that mimic a human’s active hours when like, it’s usually just somebody copy/pasting prompts and responses.
Sorry if you contract any diseases from those links or comment chains
This is tangential, but there’s a surprisingly interesting article about penis enlargement from ProPublica. It’s sobering to see people who’ve convinced themselves it must have worked, because it’s too horrible to consider whether they actually made things worse. If there are any crazy, invasive age therapies out there, maybe there’d be similar themes.

Yesterday before bed I saw some galaxy-brained takes on PKM (personal knowledge management software) from a 7-day old account, and curiosity took over me. I was not disappointed. (sadly they deleted their account after I woke up: /u/Few-Elephant-2600 if you’re bored and have moderator API access)
Since GPUs continuously generate large amounts of waste heat during AI training, could electric/GPU stoves utilize this unused thermal energy resource through on-demand tickets as distributed networks instead of citizens using a wasteful private electric stove? What are the scientific challenges?
Honey can you preheat the porn generator?
Maybe you could pair it with this accursed AI of Things Smart Oven. Fun quotes:
“Users aren’t aware of any of the oven’s learning processes,”
Ovens that learn from one another
Finally, I can experience Windows progress bars when baking potatoes:
The predictive model updates the remaining baking time every 30 seconds
Unsure if this meets even the lowest bar for this thread but I was jumpscared by Aella while browsing Reddit
Oh no, I don’t think we’re ready for him to start mythologizing autism + ADHD.
Watching my therapist pull up Musk facts on his phone for 40 minutes going “bro check this out you’re just like him frfr” the moment he learned I was autistic was enough for me. Please god don’t let musk start talking about hyperfocusing.
