so like a fool I decided to search the web. specifically for which network protocol Lisp REPLs use these days (is it nREPL? or is that just a clojure thing with ambitions?)

and the first extremely SEOed result on ddg was this bizarre blend of an obscure research lisp from 2012 and LLM articles about how Lisp is used in mental health:

Numerous applications and tools are being developed to support mental health and wellness. Among the varied programming languages at the forefront, Lisp stands out due to its unique capabilities in cognitive modeling and behavior analysis.

so I know exactly what this is, but why is this? what even is the game here?

to quote the red ink on your last CS exam: Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about

yeh I know, so calling out zk proofs as “the technology behind crypto” really reads like calling hydrogen gas “the technology behind the Hindenburg”, doesn’t it.

you and your friend really should have spent any time at all looking into who runs worldcoin and how fucking monstrously dystopian it is before rushing into buttcoin of all places to defend the “valid use of the technology behind crypto” (???) you both imagined existed in the OP’s screenshot

you got banned before I got to you, but holy fuck are you intolerable

We should be people of science, not reactionaries.

which we should do by parroting press releases and cherry picking which papers count as science, of course

but heaven forbid anyone is rude when they rightly tell you to go fuck yourself

type the words “transhumanism eugenics” into ddg and see what comes up. but mostly just fuck off tbh

it was previously quite easy, but it seems to be getting much harder as Google locks the ecosystem down alongside their push towards manifest v3 (cause nobody can have nice things) and potentially moving their Chromebooks to Android

a used Chromebook might still be a good option for a cheap linux laptop though — your mileage may vary. if you go that route, look for one that lets you replace its bootloader. the Google one is extremely annoying if you’re running a third-party OS, because it’ll wipe your SSD and reinstall ChromeOS if you hit spacebar during boot (probably Google’s way to punish the user for straying too far from the ecosystem)

for the love of fuck, learn to take a fucking hint. nobody’s going to give you a pat on the head for the art skills you don’t have. you aren’t tricking anyone into thinking you put effort into the stupid shit you wasted your time making. the only differences between the responses you’re getting here and the responses you’ll get elsewhere are that we’re brutally honest because we’re not trying to sell you or ourselves on a grift.

and now it’s time for you to stop taking up space in this thread with your mid horseshit

all of the subculture YouTubers I watch are colliding with the weirdo cult I know way too much about and I hate it

I bet it generates stochastic nonsense you’ll read like tea leaves

hahaha yeah nah this ain’t it

but while you’re briefly still here, you know what really helped me when I was 13 and still an absolute shithead about what I was led to believe was the one true proper english, to the detriment of my ability to write with tone and feeling?

I read achewood and I finally understood how to write with texture

anyway you won’t take this advice because you’re the type who gets off on incorrecting someone else’s writing, but for a better audience than you: read achewood and finally understand

or alternatively, and hear me out here

lecture me on fucking grammar again like a mediocre grade school teacher and get banned

wow! imagine if this post was funny, informative, or even fucking correct at all

I notice you didn’t give an example of the title with appositive commas though. maybe because it flows like shit?

,ahahaha, what,

oh do fuck off

jesus fuck

it’s not particularly gonna help or even make me feel better, but I’m probably gonna reopen that first Lemmy thread a little later and just start banning these awful fuckers from our instance. nobody attacking Asahi has a god damn thing to say to any member of our community.

yep, your second attempt’s still a fashy dad quip about art and it’s still as funny as the grave. you haven’t produced anything with the subjective value of even terrible art, and I think it’s about time you stop trying

You: literally splatters shitty posts into a thread

”Why am I being downvoted”

I think you’re absolutely correct, and this feels to me like the only reason why we’re seeing some of the bizarre shit we’ve been keeping an eye on:

• several old forums, all of which are unique high-quality data sources, are being polluted by their own admins with backdated LLM-generated answers. this destroys that forum as a trustworthy data source and removes it as competition for the LLM that already scraped the forum — and, as a bonus, it also makes training a future LLM on that data source utterly impractical without risking model collapse.
• Wikipedia refuses to compromise on quality in general, so it’s under increasing political pressure to change. the game here is to shut down or pollute the original data source by any means necessary, so that the only way to access that data becomes an LLM. the people behind the AI startups are experts at creating monopolies, and shutting down a world-class data source like Wikipedia or making it otherwise unusable would guarantee a monopoly position for them.

I keep stopping myself from doing this exact project, with the fediverse as the curation source, several times. I’ve talked about this before, but interestingly Postgres’ full-text search is effectively the complete core of a search engine, minus what you’d need for crawling and ranking (which is where curation and a bit of scripting would come in)

other than resources and time, one big open question is how to do this kind of thing as a positive part of the fediverse — to not make the same mistake that a bunch of techbros already have and index the fediverse without consent. how does one make the curation process simultaneously consensual and also automated enough that it can be reasonably ruggedized against abuse?
