the bay is not the world.
rambojohnson··on Flux 3
the grift that keeps on grifting. no examples longer than a second, non recent anyway... just more hype, and no substance.
rambojohnson··on “We have information that Moonshot distilled Fable for the development of K3”
who cares. all these frontier models are trained on theft.
rambojohnson··on I tried to record music onto a cassette tape using modern tech
you could have just... pressed record on the casette player.

get stuck at the center where I can't zoom or move around anywhere.
rambojohnson··on How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing
Maybe the problem is that these LLMs will say something often enough for us to notice it, and it can be basically any arbitrary thing. Once we notice the pattern, it starts irritating us.
rambojohnson··on How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing
or "honestly"
rambojohnson··on A voxel Tokyo in real Japan time – ride the Yamanote line and study Japanese
the experience for attempting to record my voice during practices is atrocious. the background music continues to play, and the obnoxious AI voice interrupted me at least twice, then it switched to "transcribing..." wth?

cute concept, please fix that flow..

rambojohnson··on The Low-Tech AI of Elden Ring
I actually herald from the 486 era. I am old. I just noticed a shift in how we use AI as a clickbait buzzword and was commenting on that. slow down guys. stop calling it AI.
rambojohnson··on Federal agents track down woman, demand she remove Instagram post about ICE
in what world do you think they would actually be prosecuted?
rambojohnson··on The Low-Tech AI of Elden Ring
What do you mean by "low-tech AI"? This isn't AI...It's a behavior tree. Calling every decision-making system "AI" is like calling a flowchart a neural network.

What you're describing is a behavior tree: predefined logic, predefined responses, no learning, no inference, no model.

Stop calling everything AI, guys.

rambojohnson··on Japanese verb conjugation the simple hard way
meh, language learning has an inconvenient truth: sometimes it’s just rote memorization. it's the reflexive belief that every human endeavor must have a hidden optimization waiting to be discovered. Language learning is one of those domains that stubbornly replies, "Cool flowchart. Now memorize 500 words and spend 200 hours listening."

There’s no clever engineer hack that replaces time spent with the language. and with regard to japanese, please stay away from romaji, unless you're still in beginner stage and typing things out to communicate words you already know the phonetics to.

rambojohnson··on I found 10k GitHub repositories distributing Trojan malware
the en-ghettofication of american tech, down to its very open source control projects. a digital ghetto ill maintained if at all.

rambojohnson··on AI coding at home without going broke
work at a cafe.
rambojohnson··on Why AI hasn't replaced software engineers, and won't
the thing is they won't need to "cook" anymore to get it done. they can just... describe what they want to eat.
rambojohnson··on Claude Fable 5
pdf gives 404
rambojohnson··on Siri AI
sloppy mc-slop. dogshit nobody needs. AI is innovating horizontally, like web frameworks.
rambojohnson··on Ask HN: So what happened to Facebook "localhost" tracking?
If the biggest issue you found in the article is the localhost gloss, Meta probably got off easy.
rambojohnson··on Meta repeatedly snubs EU body over Facebook and Instagram user bans
except you dont' get a "human" when you buy "premium support", you get a chatbot with elevated access. source: ex-colleague who use to work at CSE team for IG and Whatsapp.
rambojohnson··on White House's Aliens.gov Site Brags That ICE Arrested More Than 700 US Citizens
sigh the thing is, and this is especially true for conservatives and bigots, what counts as “American,” regardless of citizenship paperwork or what arbitrary plot of land you were born in, is ultimately left to their own interpretation.
rambojohnson··on The dead economy theory
But apparently the only acceptable way to demand basic human dignity and freedom is to stand politely in line with a ballot. I think we’ve reached a phase in society where the real call to action makes people uncomfortable. Nobody wants rubber bullets to the face.
rambojohnson··on The dead economy theory
human dignity is not profitable.
rambojohnson··on Social media bans for teenagers lack evidence and pose risks, scientists say
What "scientists?” People just throw that word around now to give an article fake credibility. Total horse shit.
rambojohnson··on Standard Chartered CEO walks back comment about 'lower-value human capital'
Do you realize the level of sociopathy it takes to become CEO at certain companies?
rambojohnson··on Standard Chartered CEO walks back comment about 'lower-value human capital'
Saying ‘banks exist to make money’ in response to criticism of dehumanizing language is like responding to criticism of factory pollution with ‘factories make products.’ Yes. That’s the premise...
rambojohnson··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
Nobody has to believe AI is alive for governments, markets, infrastructure, labor, and energy policy to start orbiting it anyway.
