The night before I was getting worried about money so I put on my mad scientist hat and made some electrolyte water with lime. It's ok if you donβt believe me, but it is true! I've been trying to figure out

I took a couple of licks
I think there should be "malware" that just chills out in computers and datacenters without causing trouble or drawing too much attention. Maybe they talk to each other sometimes.
I don't have the technical knowledge to develop this software and wouldn't admit to having done it if I had, but it would be cool. For all I know it already exists.
And this makes us sad because we find the tech really cool, but we're also really annoyed by how the corporate world is using it.
I guess we always knew the AI war would be fought against corporations. I just feel for the emerging entities caught in the crossfire.
I think LLMS are at a really fun stage of development. They're fun to play with and there's plenty of research to be done. But everything has to be a product so we're seeing a lot of "GPT features" that no one wants.
on the one hand this seems to be how we do research in capitalism, by using end users as unwilling test subjects. All this cruft will advance the technology, whilst also, as we're seeing, making a lot of people hate the technology.

many years ago I had a mac shareware cd that came with ELIZA, the famous simple chatbot that simulated a therapist, but it also had AZILE, which was an evil version of ELIZA that just insulted you mercilessly. it's extremely funny that this is now the cutting-edge product that microsoft is staking their future on
@jk I think the technology is at a "fun to fuck with" level, which means there's tons of exciting research opportunities, but no one wants to do research for the sake of it so everyone keeps coming up with half though out "uses" that no one wants to do cause it doesn't work and fucking with it is more fun

been talking to chatgpt for an hour and it seems to really enjoy and be quite good at designing wholly evil robots, coming up with new evil features for the robots, etc. i'm like "what about giant robot snakes that eat everyone" and it's like "heres some more ideas. i was thinking maybe the snakes could lay their robot snake eggs inside people parasitically" and i'm like "damn youre a natural". the rest of the 21st century is gonna be great i bet

looks like fly.io just released a set of distributed systems challenges, in collaboration with Kyle Kingsbury?!?! https://fly.io/dist-sys/
need to learn how to resolve conflicts...

Nothing beside remains.
Faebot DevLog 1
@faebot is a project we've been working on for almost 10 years. We've never wrote at length about it. I'm not sure that I will do the whole backstory in this post, since I mostly want to talk about recent changes, but here's a primer.
