Lisp?

a sane language

Pick one.

Why rename the files when you could just categorise and index them…?

This seems unnecessarily destructive.

LLM’s are not AI, though. They’re just fancy auto-complete. Just bigger Elizas, no closer to anything remotely resembling actual intelligence.

The thing is that, as you said, it’s happened several times before. Beta Ray Bill, Red Norvell, Eric Masterson… it’s been established for a long time that in the Marvel universe the title of Thor, God of Thunder, may be held by people who aren’t Thor Odinson (and that he might occasionally lose it, though so far only temporarily, at least in the main continuity).

But that’s how you learn!

Main problem I see with this is that when the AI girlfriend company inevitably eventually folds, or dumbs down the product, or makes it start pushing ads instead of loving words, or succumbs to enshittification in any other way (which has already happened with at least a couple of models people were using as AI girlfriends) the users have to deal not only with going back to loneliness, but with the equivalent of the death of a loved one to boot. It’s not unlikely that some will end up hurting themselves or others as a consequence.

I mean, this is Lemmy, for fuck’s sake. I think we can all here agree that the whole concept is abhorrent, exploitative, and doomed from the start. What we evidently need are self hosted, open source AI companions, backed by a healthy community developing forks and extensions to cater to any and all imaginable (or unimaginable) kinks and / or fetishes, not this cloud based corporate-driven dystopian AI nightmare we seem to be heading to.

Fuck incels.

Isn’t that what they’re asking for…?

Written Chinese could arguably be considered its own language. There are several spoken languages in China which are unintelligible to each other, but that look the same when written down since the written language doesn’t codify phonemes or even spoken words, but concepts. Mandarin and Cantonese speakers might not be able to understand what the other is saying, but they’d be able to understand what they wrote.

Cuneiform too.

it’s a readable query returning a sane JSON object.

No it’s not. What table is the data supposed to be coming from…?

Of course not… where’s the damn tag…?

Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books are also great alternatives (and a gateway to the rest of the Discworld books, which are also great).

Rounded rectangles (in computer interfaces specifically; they were already everywhere else, and Jobs just copied them, like everything else; but copying them was an innovation of sorts, since no one else had considered that wasting resources rounding corners might be worth it).

Fuck, I’m old. :(

No it’s not.

I mean, maybe it’s trying, I don’t know, but I’m not even trying to keep ublock origin up to date (maybe it updates itself in the background?) and I haven’t noticed any difference (or ads) other than the normal progressive enshittification of both platform and channels, and I’m pretty certain I live in the world… EDIT: And before anyone asks, I am logged in, I mostly use YouTube through the subscriptions page, so being logged in doesn’t seem to be causing any problems for me either.

It’s a sanctuary for the unborn, not the already born. The already born can (and will) get fucked.
