"House of leaves" is an interesting book but parts of it are very much not screen reader friendly. Just pages and pages of random sounding names
It's joever 😭
@GeeksLoveDetail Yeahhhh. I won't actually make it for that reason 😅😅😅😅
One of these days I'll end up making that AI gangstalking tool and accidentally sic it onto myself. 🤪
@aparrish Yeah the two systems really feed into each other. I think that combined with lonely (vulnerable) people turning to digital social interactions makes a perfect machine for chewing people up and further isolating them.
I've seen some stuff on tiktok where folks just ask ChatGPT leading questions about things that patently make no sense and it'll just feed into it and add exciting new details in an authoritative tone. Meanwhile people in the comments will start spewing their personal delusions and "conspiracy theories" to further rabbithole each other from reality.
It's actually so over.
ChatGPT is scary because it's a "yes and" machine for feeding into people's delusions. The lower information someone is the more at risk they are to get sucked into niche belief systems while being fed endless streams of affirming bullshit.

You know what to do #Ontario
Discouraging voters is an intentional strategy. Vote anyway.

Bruh, it's snowy out there. I thought it'd be a casual stroll but came home with a few mm of snow on my head :P
Gonna pokemon go to the polls
canada politics
Fucking hell somebody's been trying to convince my family members to vote for the "people's party" which is our "far right" party full of neo nazis / white supremacists. 😭
LLM nonsense
@gregeganSF To be fair due to the way tokenization works LLMs never really learn the individual letters in words and have a hard time with this specific category of problem. People like to dunk on them with "how many R's are in strawberry" for example.
Tensorflow is fun because you can make bonkers amounts of math happen with just a few bits of code.
It'd be cool if one could do similar stuff i UIUA just due to how it enables bonkers amounts of math to happen in it too.

Instead of doom scrolling I'm reading up on recurrent neural networks and transformer models.
On the 10th I'll be teaching some folks a bit about autoencoders with this "Neural spatial curves" project I've been working on. Hopefully I can get this model visualizer tool together in time
@skyfaller @ieure @sarahjamielewis Yiiiikes. Thank you for the heads up, I was not aware of that. Also gonna give fennic a shot on android ty. I've been using Firefox Beta on there (in addition to my bespoke browser) and it's been a decent experience.
@ieure @sarahjamielewis Yeah LibreWolf is a great option tbh. Is there a mobile equivalent?
I think Dev pressure is really not enough. I can't even do calls in slack in Firefox even though it has a decent WebRTC impl. I think a lot of it is lazyness tbh. But how can I pressure slack? I just have to open chrome for work. I'm glad there's at least degoogled forks even if they die off periodically.
Have you tried out ladybird? https://ladybird.org/

honestly I would prefer if cash did not rule everything around me
@ieure @sarahjamielewis What is your preferred alternative? Does your preferred alternative work for most cases and put pressure on Google? I use it because I need web apps to work and it is open source.
