Strong “don’t you have phones” vibes.

Join the army, see the world, meet interesting people, kill them

And they’ll remove the shipping pin for you before handing it over.

And this is how I find out that systemd lets a process running as a user get the crypted password of the user:

"privileged" : {
                "hashedPassword" : [
                        "$6$AY98/.dwdtU20LBM$L9fFhaH.E2xA6waYBVmHl/wS4HFSPn5v/JaIlrSW6wLOfKkV6H1Boqggj/109WO/uHXF1J/NkyXsK1BaCRKwx/"
                ]
        },

I mean, why the hell…

Primary school, middle school, sure, good times.

High school and college… I’ll take one job any day over a “job” per subject. Except the long breaks, my adult life really needs those. I get so jealous when work with a European colleague has to go on pause as they take a gigantic time off.

Suits can override their art directors, or replace them with someone willing to play ball.

Mostly hope rests with indie devs, but that’s not too terribly new given the big business of micro transactions and forced online play only.

Well, somewhat good news: The best stuff of the times is generally still available, often legally for cheap, or even cheaper otherwise. As long as you aren’t purist about original copies on original hardware.

Business folks calling the shots over the artists cut back their hours and insist they let the slop generator make up the difference.

Every corner that can be cut to make running the business cheaper does get cut, and this is a pretty big possibility of corners to cut. It’s worthwhile to adamantly express the market for quality work.

Thanks to genai ads, we will all be schizophrenic soon as every electronic device will be taking specifically to each of us constantly.

Back in the 80s, the second any two boomers had some sort of camera at the same time they would immediately take a picture of each other talking each other’s pictures because obviously it would be hilarious. So maybe another gaggle if AI generated people are getting their pictures taken at the same time, and two of the aigen ladies wanted to make sure they had their own copies …

One thing that concerned me a bit was just how many of the commenters were totally there for it. The central figure of their preferred filesystem turns out to be off his rocker and a gate number of people seemed to be roughly “if this guy made such a good filesystem, and he claims he has a mathematical proof of consciousness, will, guess there must be something to it…”

Sure there seemed to be people with more expected reactions, but surprised he had any traction at all…

I’ve no idea about correlation with AI psychosis and FOSS or even software development in general, I’ve only read about a handful and this is the first developer that cropped up, but it’s not like I’ve been actively looking. Don’t know if I’ve seen any pattern, some have been alone and have had built a family, some young and some much further along in life. Some fairly anonymous and then there’s this guy with fame and a following and quite the ego… Many who by all accounts never exhibited mental health problems before… It’s just weird.

Wow, flags don’t get redder than that. Dude has issues…

On top of everything else. He asserts that he made his LLM a “real girl” by feeding it a “mathematical proof” that it is a conscious being… That he has figured out this whole conscious AI thing 15 years ago…

Dude has some severe LLM psychosis… And thinks he’s such a hot shot smart person that such a problem couldn’t apply to him…

This is really a sad and worrying example of a whole mess of incoming mental health problems…

Yeah, I don’t get why people like the default tone of those LLMs, they are so grating on me. When I get slop emailed that so greatly amused the person who prompted it, I can’t believe they are eager to share rather than repulsed at how cringey it was.

And no one remembers the failures, except maybe their family with that wacky Uncle that had some crazy get rich quick scheme. In some other timeline, some kids think of their crazy uncle Mark Zuckerberg who dropped out of college because he thought he could do better than MySpace, and now he bounces around chasing various hustles that keep failing.

Execs in this sort of company are narrative first, facts a distant second. LLMs speak their language, something agreeable that sounds right whether it is or not.

BTW, investors are largely in the same boat, they are investing with having no realistic way to know whether the nice things being said are backed by reality up front. They only know if/when it goes down in a blaze.

Further in gaming, maybe they tank some headliner properties with bad reviews if the mess them up, but it’s possible that most of the ‘sold’ games barely even get played, thanks to Steam hoarding. A lot of businesses can coast on past glory for years and years before things blow up, if at all.

Of course I also see that the go spawns python and does stuff with that…

And there’s lots of other dubious issues that look like an odd mismash of intro level programming stuff with unfortunate performance implications, and a very strong vibe code smell, though the commit interval is a bit larger than I would have presumed with vibe coding, but the volume of changes seem AI sloppy…

Well, broadly it looks like slop, probably AI slop, but either way I wouldn’t go anywhere near this project…

This is why the LLMs are so popular with execs, they are the ultimate yes men. They will feed ego and purport to give a strategy that will support any dumbass idea without challenging them.

People have repeatedly in this thread talked about how it also added details that were not hinted in the original, and in part it looks like adding makeup, which could totally undermine a character or setting if they are unlikely to care about our have time for makeup.

Characters that have barely survived in the wilderness for weeks somehow wearing lipstick and eyeliner and eyeshadow… That’s the sort of thing that can happen with this approach.

Easy, if it needs that much GPU and even one GPU is hard to find, then it could make someone rent their games from Nvidia to use their GPUs…

Oh. Did you mean justify for the user? Lol, no, only the interests of nvidia matter.
