  • Don’t even need to make it about code. I once asked what a term meant in a page full of a certain well known FOSS application’s benchmarks page. It gave me a lot of garbage that was unrelated because it made an assumption about the term, exactly the assumption I was trying to avoid. I try to deviate it away from that, and it fails to say anything coherent and then loops back and gives that initial attempt as the answer again. I was stuck unable from stopping it from hallucinating.

    How? Why?

    Basically, it was information you could only find by looking at the github code, and it was pretty straightforward - but the LLM sees “benchmark” and it must therefore make a bajillion assumptions.

    Even if asked not to.

    I have a conclusion to make. It does do the code thing too, and it is directly related. Once asked about a library, and it found a post where someone was ASKING if XYZ was what a piece of code was for - and it gave it out as if it was the answer. It wasn’t. And this is the root of the problem:

    AI’s never say “I don’t know”.

    It must ALWAYS know. It must ALWAYS assume something, anything, because not knowing is a crime and it won’t commit it.

    And that makes them shit.






  • I love that Junji Ito has a bunch of stories that are metaphors for stuff like this. This one. Snail Girl being the same allegory as Metamorphosis. The tall actress being about the anxiety you feel when you know a coworker might ruin the business but everyone else seems to not care. The woman in the window and the window creeping closer is one of the ones most on the nose.

    But then he also has the hot spring to hell which is literally “stupid man experiences stupid horror”. He just felt like making cheap horror that month, lol.





  • Like, they’re giving users monopoly money, and try to pass it off as control. Like, the fuck are they gonna do with the monopoly money?

    Plus imagine if users actually believe the monopoly money is important. We’re back on the days of BB Forums where you can make a factual point but oops, you’re level 2 and the forum regular (4506 posts) just called you a cocksucker.

    Edit: Oh god, the moderator wallet thing. They’re letting moderators moderate themselves. This is going to set off a massive amount of infighting as some admins will take the whole wallet and the other moderators will call them out and the seriousness of the whole thing (moderation teams not getting along) will get drowned out with all the people shitposting about fighting for monopoly money.

    This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.

    I’m over 40 and finding wands in Noita fills me with joy.

    “So, this one homes on enemies, has triple cast and delayed explosions… Hmmm, but what does orbital and bouncy do together?”

    *shoots near beehive*

    >Entire screen explodes

    And I just restart the game with a grin. I feel like that game made what actual magic would be. Starting the game by silently teaching us about the dangers of fire was a stroke of genius. It’s always fire with magic, just weirder, bigger and wilder types of fire, and both me and my enemies don’t command it, we simply live in a world with it. Nothing but a video game could make me experience this. Nothing but a video game could generate near endless amounts of endlessly unlearnable amounts of raging wildfires to be amused by.



  • We literally split the atom and with it, came up with the cleanest and cheapest way to support a large chunk of our energetic needs.

    Then some people did a big boom with it, and then a cartoon decided to draw it as green rods of evil energy, and there, the entire world decided to stop using it. And we’ve not started doing it again properly for several decades, all while we uproot carbon off the biosphere and the ground and into the air so we can boil ourselves to a climatic disaster.

    Aliens would find nothing worth respecting.

    It is quite a weird thread. I’m seeing a lot of people saying Sync is the best, and honestly, it might be, but the logic that the others are outright bad doesn’t fly. The only app that is outright bad is Jerboa, and the only reason to use Jerboa was if you were on here since BEFORE reddit even started the API thing, when it was the only option. We have a TON of options right now. Everyone actually focusing on Jerboa feels like they’re not an actual Lemmy user.
