thinks that he should be in charge of all branch merges because he doesn’t understand the release process

.......I don't want you to dox yourself but I am abyss-staringly curious

sidenote

you have so many of these! it's amazing! are you going to publish soon? it seems like it might need a whole guide of its own!

moderately barbed jesting aside, a serious question: have you spoken with any programmers/artists/researchers/.... ? so many of your comments have "part of me feels" parts hitting pop-concern-direction things and, like, I get it, but. have you spoken with any of them? what were those conversations like? what did you take away from them? what stuck with you that you want to share?

continuing on the theme of promptfondlers shitting up open source (or at least attempting to), look at this nightmare pr

for those who may not software:

• this pr is basically unreviewably large
• it’s clearly just autoplag-sourced slop
• there is zero engagement from the person with the actual goals of the project or open source

"is this ideological project which has directly incentivised burning books and harming atypicals the same as the fascist projects which did the same? the answer may surprise you!"

weirdly early for the revisionist PR to start, though, they're barely done setting shit on fire

there it is, sammy has gone and said people are just prompting the model wrong (I recall we’ve had that bit said here earlier)

but in true sammy grift: you just need to be asking the right questions to trump intelligence. “why do you want to suck, as a human?” sammy asks, not understanding a moment of humanity

oh, no no

nooooo no no no

there isn't an opt-out button

there is only:

1. "Continue",
2. "Learn More"

a couple weeks back, I was (bc reasons) looking around to see how to turn off goog's annoying gemini bullshit in an account, and you can!

except then even after doing that, accounts in that org still got prompts (in the form of in-app banners, and sparklebuttons in shit like gmail) to Try The Model

it looks like people aren't biting enough, because now you get it whether you like it or not, for the low low price of pushing up your base account fee! and I checked in one org - "Gemini App" is disabled org-wide, but the fucking prompt is immediately in the UI (and you get a modal popover opening gmail)

fuck these people so much

“our tools” says the poster, speaking of the non-consensually built plagiarism machine powering abuses

which “our” is that? does the boot require a lickee?

at least for once it isn't the kind of post where a bayfucker went "I took acid in a park and you wouldn't believe what I discovered"

./^ L E G S ^\.

it happened

I popped out somewhere to have a drink, and got to have someone tell me about their “edutech” startup that “uses AI”

they very definitely overpromise (not gonna rinse their bullshit), and topped it off with “and then we use a LLM for suggesting improvements”

(I ejected from the conversation but I can still hear it; it’s progressed to “talking about property” in the terms of mediocre early-20s white kids talking leveraging daddy and uncle’s assets)

you appear to be lost, this isn’t “sama stan club”

and by library I hope you don’t mean a place of knowledge other humans rely on
