Remember to pop your filter bubble every so often. If you think you're not in one, you're trapped in one and in for a rude awakening.

There seem to be two distinct kinds of “chatbot psychosis” happening right now:

1. Becoming delusional about themselves and the world as a result of being glazed nonstop by the friend in their computer, thinking they’re inventing new physics, discovering mystical secrets, etc. and becoming manic.

2. Becoming delusional about what LLMs are capable of and how effective they are, as a result of developing a reliance upon them, and becoming fanatical in their promotion and defense.

"Healthy people cost less.
Educated people contribute more.
Housed people are more stable.

...in a healthy society there are no "undeserving".
There are just people."

judging online information quality based on site where it appeared: a comprehensive guide

- "How To (...)" in the title, cookie banners, lots of side-information written in a way that wastes your time: SEO slop, don't bother. You might as well make a wild guess, same likelyhood it'll be correct

- official docs for $x, autogenerated by a rube-goldberg machine and automagically pushed into whatever-pages by a fully-skidoodled, post-quantum CI pipeline: describes everything, except the exact fact you're looking for.

- no HTTPS, tilde in the name, DNS with 4+ dots, likely hosted on some dusty uni server, white background with absolutely no CSS: one of the best resources on the subject. you question how it's even still online

- site titled "Garry's blog", default wordpress favicon, last update either previous month or 12 years ago: golden. crystal-clear exposition, good examples and screenshots framed so well you don't even need arrows pointing places. likely used as a cheat-sheet daily by everyone in the community

New Secret Area post: On random memes, old game shows and "Glunch."

A meme among me and a few friends goes from a silly image on Tumblr to me discovering the show the image is from. One of my nerdy pop culture journeys.

Shares and comments appreciated!

"Sini. Sini, you've been posting so much today, isn't it enough?"

No! No, you simply must look at my fucking cat, being a little kitty backpack! When I'm looking reasonably human for once and don't mind being on camera, too!

LLMs "work" for the same reason psychic hotlines, tarot decks, cold-readers, and con-men work

I recorded a tumblr post. It is perfectly safe to play the recording. It won't shatter and reform your mind at all youtu.be/e02cKBAFWSI

My generation began conflating the words, and today's generations never had a real chance to learn we were making that mistake. So now it's no longer a mistake, just evidence of the language evolving.

Seriously. These commercials ran in virtually every TV show with the chance of an adult watching for decades.

Some of these commercials were captured and made it to YouTube: youtube.com/results?search_que (search query link).
