iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

regrettably, frustratingly, I think it may be difficult to cover the development of machine gods without hanging out at the bar in which the priests chat, even if it is _that_ kind of bar

oh hey since we're at it, here's a way to segfault python without writing C code or using ctypes/cffi

I suspect they're just not really aware of why AI acts as such an enticing accelerant / how much more a single developer can do as a result if you believe it's the thing that makes everything worse, costs a trillion dollars, and deletes water, it doesn't make any sense why anyone would use it

still technically possible without committing copyright infringement! but yes, I agree; I imagine a lot of the people agreeing with that sentiment may be applying a standard that they don't necessarily hold themselves to

eh, I think that one's a bit more defensible; a lot of emudevs (I can't speak to PPSSPP specifically) go out of their way to avoid looking at leaked material to ensure that there's no risk of IP contamination (e.g. github.com/xenia-projec... )

I don't think they *do* understand, though, as demonstrated by many of the replies calling the developer more-or-less braindead for using AI I'm fine with people opting out for ethical reasons, even if I think it will become increasingly untenable, but that's not what's happening here

I was considering a snarky quote-post of this but there's really no point it will keep happening and it will remain inexplicable to this crowd why someone working on an open-source labour of love, largely for free, might choose to use a tool that lets them do more with less

Dude, this is genuinely so fucking disappointing. Nearly all of the commits I’ve seen for PPSSPP involve generative AI from Claude in the past week alone, and their entire newest dev blog is almost entirely written by Claude. Almost half of the commits in the past 3 months use Claude for AI code.

I generally avoid consuming "side media" (including, in this case, building kits) for media I haven't consumed; it's a bit pathological, but I want to have appreciated it in its original context first, you know?

The fact that there is a social stigma around being a vegan is frankly embarrassing for us as a society. At absolutely worst, veganism should be accepted as a perfectly valid lifestyle choice in a liberal society, and imo it should be seen much more positively than that

I have to quite consciously pace myself, screw around, play video games, or I will just burn myself to the bone because all of a sudden what might otherwise be distracted downtime can instead be moving some AI project along. and I am picky enough that I'll lock back in to get it right and not relax.

How Do You Change a Chatbot’s Mind? (Published 2024)

the opposite of www.nytimes.com/2024/08/30/t... - as for why, Cowen has generally had positive opinions on AI, including declaring that we'd reached (what could be credibly called) AGI mid-last-year

When I set out to improve my tainted reputation with chatbots, I discovered a new world of A.I. manipulation.

New just now in The Atlantic: David Robinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches. He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.” You can read his essay here: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Today we're unveiling Trillium Labs, a new non-profit to foster the open science of frontier AI. We're building open post-training recipes and will expand into open infra to study RSI, reward-hacking, multi-agent systems, and whatever comes next. blog.trilliumlabs.org/p/introducin...

to be seen, I fear: they have the training code, but can they actually cook a model? but yes I love the Olmo models and hope they have their time in the sun

I have a server with free optical drive bays, so I figure I can put it there; if it was external, I'd maybe use that to make it easier to work with (e.g. having it at my desk while I load in CDs), but it's ultimately not that big of a deal

i was looking at this but, as politely as possible, the formatting of this post is non-ideal and i figured asking the ether would be more productive in terms of up-to-date options

finally picked up my Higurashi playthrough after... uh... seven years, and am beginning to enjoy it it's definitely a slow burn at the start, and the setting by itself doesn't do anything for me, but it is excellent at facilitating the creepy shit that takes place

yeah, ripping, thinking I'll preserve specific hard-to-find movies digitally (and also use it for ripping CDs)
