>It's a simple fact

I'd love to hear why you say this.

lpcvoid··on Firefox 148 Launches with AI Kill Switch Feature and More Enhancements
That would be better, yeah. Ideally some #ifdefs that I can configure to remove all the slop from the binary itself ;)

Since AI is a grift, I guess that makes it a perfect topic for Twitter indeed.

Religion does weird things with the brain. I don't understand it either.

Been using GOS since roughly 2020. I refuse to use a Phone without GOS on it. It's been amazing.

AI use for translation is a good fit for the tech. The problem is generative AI.
lpcvoid··on WD and Seagate confirm: Hard drives sold out for 2026
This behavior is part of the problem that got us here, using LLMs for everything.

But hey, we get slop videos of the pope doing something funny, that's just as cool as being able to purchase computer hardware, right?
lpcvoid··on A deep dive into Apple's .car file format
And have it hallucinate stuff? Nah, this stuff is hard enough without LLMs guessing.
lpcvoid··on A deep dive into Apple's .car file format
Strong disagree. I like binary formats because I can just fopen(), fseek() and fread() stuff. I don't need json parser dependency, and don't need to deal with compression. Binary formats are simple, fast and I need a way smaller buffer to read/write them normally. I don't like wasting resources.

As long as russia bombs apartment buildings and terrorizes a soverein nation while waging hybrid war against a multitude of others, it's going to be the enemy. I hope russia crumbles, and people like you stop pretending that russia is innocent.

Common EU win. Anything which curbs addiction to harmful social media services is a good thing.

Then you decided to cave in and forego your privacy. Don't assume others will falter in the same fashion.
lpcvoid··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Well it's not E2EE, so what did you expect? Nothing you do on Discord is private, everything is screened, categorized and readable by third parties.

It sounds like it's lying and making stuff up, something everybody seems to be okay with when using LLMs.

Republicans want to put people in camps without pesky commentary. Nothing new here.
lpcvoid··on xAI joins SpaceX
I argue that if you have literal hundreds of billions of hard cash to burn for stupid things like AI datacenters, you could afford to make the lives of millions of starving people not suck instead, pretty easily so. But to do that, you'd have to try, and that would mean actually doing something good for humanity. Can't have that as a billionaire.
lpcvoid··on xAI joins SpaceX
Nice article, the first one. I hope they try it, burn many billions of cash, and then fail. I also hope they don't spread radioactive material across the whole atmosphere when failing, though.

It's called learning, and it used to be the hacker mindset to continuously improve. But I guess that died with slop generators.

Amazing how people love to self-pwn all the time by doing stupid shit.

Too high, no matter the exact answer.

I am arguing LLMs should not be used for anything, since in my opinion their downsides outweigh their upsides.

Also, I don't consider LLMs a tool, because I can trust my tools, and I cannot trust anything an LLM outputs.

lpcvoid··on ChatGPT Containers can now run bash, pip/npm install packages and download files
I agree that your project is cool, I just don't think the numerous downsides are worth the occasional cool thing like this.
lpcvoid··on ChatGPT Containers can now run bash, pip/npm install packages and download files
I disagree, in my opinion it's the exact same process, just on a much smaller scale. It's a problem, and we humans are good at solving problems. That is, until LLMs arrived, now we are supposed to become good at prompting, or something.

If 800m people think delegating thinking to a slop generator is fine, that's not my loss. It's bad for humanity, but who even cares anymore in 2026, right?
