iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I wonder if in 50 years time we're going to look at plain old digital computers the way we look at the Gutenberg press now what is it even going to be like when machine cognition is a first-class primitive, not just something shoehorned into existing OSes with awkwardly repurposed hw

it just occurred to me I could probably have qwen write me a command line config tool for my keyboard (it's supposedly running qmk but none of the standard tooling works for some goddamn reason)

qwen has spent today doing some extremely advanced anti-aliasing sorcery, well beyond anything i can even begin to make sense of, and it's just about wiped out the obnoxious swimming moiré patterns in the LCD shader

idk but the current consensus among the expert tensortouchers in my oomfcluster seems to be that the weights aren't ensouled, but the markdown files are.

I did write a very pretty chromatic aberration shader a while back. curious to see if qwen manages to mog that too, currently all signs point to yes

lexi @barredspirals.comint.su · 13h

2x ssaa and 4-level bloom running at 60fps. this is way better than my attempts to build a bloom shader a few years back. qwen's now working on chromatic aberration i think

do you believe any contemporary LLMs are conscious? if so, why? if not, what is it about LLMs that you think would need to change in order for inference to generate conscious experience? Illusionists DNI 😠

despite their claims, anthropic is _not_ doing nearly all they can to enable defenders. then, they slap you in the face by doing fear mongering about GLM with a small footnote saying "oh i guess this is good for defenders too, idk" come on lol

when nobody has to work anymore we can hang around in parks and ride bikes and get high and exercise and meditate and day drink and go to shows and have sex and make music and beauty and meaning from all possible experiences to validate our fragile humanity as gods intended when they named language

anthropic is BIG mad lol www.anthropic.com/research/glm... I note that they're just pretending the public Heretic variants don't exist, to the point of wasting 2k gpu-hours making their own ablit (or so they claim)

GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities

GLM-5.3 can autonomously build end-to-end cyber exploits, but unlike other frontier models, it was released without meaningful safeguards to limit misuse.

Retro-futurist propaganda poster overlooking a radiant, green utopian city of rivers, bridges, gardens, and gleaming towers at sunrise. Four people and a shaggy dog sit on a flower-covered hillside, gazing toward the city. Across the sky in huge block lettering: “the future could be magnificent, and you deserve a share of it.”

with older models working on coding projects i always had to tell the model to make small edits and actually compile and test between edits, otherwise they'd go completely off the rails and wouldn't bother even trying to compile until they decided the project was done, if at all

progress! animated crt, lcd, dials, text rendering, segment display; x3 ssaa. need to move the knobs out of the way and maybe do something about the moiré patterns but i really really like what qwen-flash-next has achieved so far i have written a sum total of 0 LOC for this project }:)

You expect Chicanos to care about places that are against their own existence? Sorry if I don't care about places like Valhalla where I might get forcefemmed for being myself.
