Doesn't look like they did any coordinating (openly, at least), only 9 comments on NixOS, 4 in November when Srid went straight to themotte crying about being banned for CoC violation, and 5 on 5 May where they are baffled and unable to even understand criticism of JR/Anduril.

Incidentally, the "woke invasion" page says the author got banned in November, so I guess Shivaraj is an alias of Srid.

External links: the fucking motte. All of it, not any particular discussion.

You're not just confident that asking chatGPT to explain it's inner workings works exactly like a --verbose flag, you're so sure that's what happening that it apparently does not occur to you to explain why you think the output is not just more plausible text prediction based on its training weights with no particular insight into the chatGPT black box.

Is this confidence from an intimate knowledge of how LLMs work, or because the output you saw from doing this looks really really plausible? Try and give an explanation without projecting agency onto the LLM, as you did with "explain carefully why it rejects"

These videos are, of course, suspiciously cut to avoid showing all the times it completely fucked up, and still shows the engine completely fucking up.

• "This door requires a blue key" stays on screen forever
• the walls randomly get bullet damage for no reason
• the imp teleports around, getting lost in the warehouse brown
• the level geometry fucks up and morphs
• it has no idea how to apply damage floors
• enemies resurrect randomly because how do you train the model to know about arch-viles and/or Nightmare difficulty
• finally: it seems like they cannot die because I bet it was trained on demos of successful runs of levels and not the player dying.

The training data was definitely stolen from https://dsdarchive.com/, right?

it’s interesting that the only real “hallucination” I can see in the video pops up when the player shoots an enemy, which results in some blurry feedback animations

Well, good news for the author, it's time for him to replay doom because it's clearly been too long.

The Cybertruck guy using nostr for image hosting is the kind of brand consistency you can expect from this crowd.

I might be one of the few who had the reverse revelation, learning about her terrible politics, and then marveling at the amazing technical accomplishments when I read further. Is that a new different way to have a terrible time online? Discovering that Racist Duck also made milkshakes.

It seems like many still-active redditors have consulted Ass, My, et al (2024) to conclude any alternative to reddit were abject failures and not worth investigating

Two Sneer Clubs, both alike in dignity...

the number of people on /r/sneerclub who seem utterly unaware of the new digs is tragic.

feed it into their spicy autocomplete engines which then flood the internet with AI sludge

I'm getting a mental image of a wood chipper: a word chipper.

https://status.d420.de/ there's a few nitters post-rebirth, all of them probably using a fleet of real accounts and anti-bot protection instead of the guest accounts that first-age nitter used.

Mouse-of-Theseus. Mouseus.

I have been trying to navigate the current mouse market, I am hoping that these new fancy "good for 20 million clicks" switches that have migrated from mechanical keyboards over to mice mean that my next mouse will last for 20 years or so. Now to just find a way to differentiate between the 500,000 mice that are all at the €45 price point with the same form factor and specs.

Calls it a "hostile takeover" even though he literally explains why it wasn't a hostile takeover: Developers were way behind schedule and not making progress, Star Theory leadership tried to hold T2 hostage with the project and T2 called their bluff and cancelled the contract. They then offered developers to transfer to new studio. Some developers wanted a pay raise or didn't transfer for other reason.

This seems like bad faith rules lawyering. The publisher didn't literally buy out the studio, they just withheld funding, made a new studio they owned and forced everyone over. They took over, it was hostile.

Trippy, their username counts, Trippy. They are posting their username to your sub. Even if you ignore (don't!) that usernames are links to their other Nazi posts, they are posting Nazi phrases, to your sub. "outside of the sub"? Trippy.

Can't blame this shit on the survey!

I checked, crypto shit was not in any of the top 8 results (top 5 broken out, and they mentioned 3 more, which are surely #6 through #8).

To think that when sneer club/techtakes migrated to lemmy, I was pretty sure we would not be getting a lot of incidental traffic to the communities. Just about as wrong as you can be.

Can't wait to find out that the Perseid meteor shower, which has inspired humanity for centuries, is actually just Von Neumann probes from a long-dead civilization that spam their equivalent of tea.xyz pull requests on any planet that has advanced to hosting source forges.

"Any messages beyond this tweet from anyone claiming to be from Pendle is a scam"

33 replies from scammers. Holy shit.

Trace RTs someone hoping aloud that his nonsense gets laundered by an RS, then breathlessly reports on his literal transparent brigade getting unbanned using a very strained appeal to WP:AGF, so I am starting to get a picture of his end-goal.

as, indeed, has started to happen https://xcancel.com/thezahima/status/1811495742894408065

What are the chances that the front end was not programmed to handle the LLM returning an empty string?

"disorderly cities are required by the state religion"

When they are absolutely sure the tweet will not escape containment, they will just take assumptions like "a certain percentage of people has incurable Criminal Mind" as given and go from there.

I miss the good old days when they had to make sneersneerclub to talk behind our backs instead of chatting up a wall, oblivious.

I meant the user they're speaking to, compare to [removed link]

EDIT: spoke to self, just more free jank, almost all of the visibility should be gone for the banned to howl into the void as intended.

As @soyweiser@awful.systems says, this is not just an eyesore for people not on awful.sys, but unmoderated bullshit that is, for some reason, being federated out to everyone (except awful.sys).

I bring this up because this is some fresh new jank, not from concentrate: who is supposed to moderate hate speech or disinformation that is being spread in this way? Why does lemmy federate comments from banned people? This happens in techtakes as well, another user has no idea they're banned, posts regularly and is having conversations [removed link] with no indication that this guy is persona non grata.

I also use the new comments page, and when lemmy default frontend broke the next page, I looked around and found https://alexandrite.app, which fixes this page. EG https://alexandrite.app/awful.systems/c/techtakes?type=Comments&sort=New

The downside is that, in implementing an infinite scroll, it unloads comments that you're not looking at, so ctrl-f will be unreliable.

go into about:config to kill even more things there. which I just wanted to share

Well, looks like my custom pocket settings are preserved, if they're useful to anyone:

now at 79 upvotes on awful.systems, but only eleven upvotes are visible from lemm.ee.

Fedi is weird!

I think he is trying to say something like "non-zero skew", but really, he just means "I subscribe to race science, but only for the articles".

TracingWoodgrains seems to have developed, in the process of leaving mormonism, an obsession with seeking out contrarianism. But more importantly, he openly admits to being racist/HBD "align[s] broadly with informed experts that the distribution of genetic traits associated with intelligence is non-zero" and "questions of genetics and IQ, including when it comes to group differences, are worth taking seriously". As such, he only considers it "racism" if it's "racial crassness and antagonism".

In which TW names who he thinks is treating the topic with the seriousness it demands without sinking to crassness: our good good friend Cremieux.

Absolutely magnificent that this guy took a break from posting about OLED WLAN DNS SKU TCL and 800 ISO without bokah at like f/16 to come in here and chastise us for using in-group terms.

I guessed 500. That's...that's not how many.

Gross, that whole thread is gross. A lot of promptfans in that thread seemingly experiencing pushback for the first time and they are baffled!

Trying to imagine what would a mirror universe Musk gets up to. I think any level of notoriety for him inevitably ends in execution after some failed palace intrigue.

I am so happy that we know with 100% certainty that Jack Dorsey saw this image and wasn't mad. He was laughing, actually.

If this is what it takes for them to put more than the current perfunctory technically-not-mothballed amounts of money into nuclear fusion I'm going to laugh-cry into my pillow.

Good find! As far as I can tell, xcancel is run by unixfox, who also runs the invidious instance yewtube. They seem normal.
