I want to know how much of my porn habits reddit/fb/google/whoever keep on file.
boppo1··on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out
I'm very open about sex and art and I am offended by the censorship in models, but my reading of that line is more with chatgpt. But idk Shakespeare at all. Can you elaborate on how he's definitely describing semen on her?

I want models I can run on my machine.
boppo1··on DMT-induced shifts in criticality correlate with self-dissolution
I did it once. Felt like my consciousness rocketed "up" out of my body, but not up through physical space, through some 'adjacent' space. Then I saw/felt "infinity". There was no time, and I saw a hundu-esque god/goddess with infinite arms. I had no interest in eastern religion prior. Not disinterested either. I just didn't think about it, the way I don't think about golf.

It was a neat thing to experience.

boppo1··on Don't Download Apps
Hmm, I'm making a site and I planned on using a PWA for the app experience instead of a native app. Am I setting up for a bad time? I'm not too worried about the installation hurdle, my potential early adopters are motivated and smart.
boppo1··on Don't Download Apps
I'm making an app and I plan to go the PWA route to save myself on managing native apps. Any tips on making my experience first-class?
boppo1··on Nano Banana Pro
Just make it a VSCode plugin, I don't want to install a new IDE (which is just VSCode anyway) to use your product. It might be better than claude and chatgpt5.1 but not better enough to justify me re-doing all my IDE configs.

what are you talking about? Stop being so vague.
boppo1··on Why I love OCaml (2023)
I am exactly the type of novice programmer described in the quotes.

>have shifted their way of thinking rather extremely

What could I read to shift my way of thinking?

The signals & threads episode about OCaml strongly piqued my interest, and not because I have any JS delusions (they would never, lol).

boppo1··on OpenAI warns US to close electron gap with China, build 100GW of energy capacity [pdf]
Big funni saying the US will 'benefit the many'. At least china's models are open and often locally runnable if you have the (expensive but attainable) hardware. Again, I chuckle because NVIDIA has segmented their offerings by kneecapping VRAM at the consumer level. The US AI push is centered around big models controlled by big companies to extract as much money as possible and defend OpenAI's investors against competition from startups.

I'm not a china-lover. Fuck the CCP. But It's hard not to recognize they're relatively more on the side of the little guy in the AI race, even if that's mostly an effort to undermine their political rival.

>We can already build a robot hand that is faster, stronger, more dexterous, etc. than a human hand

Can you attach it to a humanoid body that isn't wired?

It's a huge shame that they don't have these available for download as 4k videos with low compression. I really, really want to watch that tardigrade on my vertical screen.

Lots of experience with video games glitching, but not sure how your analogy applies here. Can you elaborate some more?

boppo1··on Germany is not supporting ChatControl – blocking minority secured
I mean, could the solution just be for tech-literate people to red-team the shit out of it and show how vulnerable and stupid it is?
boppo1··on Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah
What does it say about me that I've seen so much stuff like this that it barely affects me? I'm in my 30s and have had unfiltered internet access since I was about 8.

Gore definitely made me a depressed person in grade school, but the only reaction I'm having to this is concern about: - conservatives getting ready for violence - the state getting ready to use this to further erode civil liberties - the left fanning the flames for conservatives
