AI standing in front of a target practise, holding a smoking gatling gun and infinite ammunition.

„The infinite ammo was a nice improvement!“ the AI CEO says „It now hits almost every time! Well done, everybody!“

If you are using my work, I love to get feedback and hear your ideas *what* could be better.

If you know what you are doing, I love to hear from you when you have an idea *how* we could things better.

If you have no experience in the work I do, I do not want a PR from you. Because I cannot talk to you about it.

It does not matter if the latest AI coughed it up or if it came to you in a vision from the creator of the universe.

We cannot work together like this.

If I get the suspicion that someone is slopping a #curl PR, I ask questions.

If they answer as human and explain their thoughts, this is fine. They used the LLM as a tool, but they are in charge of it. We review, they improve until it‘s accepted.

If their answer is likely from an LLM itself, we are dealing with a meatproxy („Apologies…“ etc). The chances of this PR landing become practically zero.

But I look at the idea behind the PR: was there one? Is it maybe worth doing in another way?

The Atantic is now the America Ocean and the Pacific is the Ocean America.

Furthermore, all US States will be renamed to Americas and all Mountains will now be America Mountains.

Tim Cook follows suite and renames his company to America Computers. Huang follows with NAmerica.

Altman says it was always about American Intelligence and that‘s what AI really means: „There is nothing comparable to American intelligence! It will revolutionize our lifes!“

I prefer the term "clanker" for these things that pretend to be people. I find this aspect of them icky, an expression of the way their makers disrespect humanity.

This is independent of the usefulness of their work. I believe they could have been designed differently, with more respect.

Resistance is not futile.

As predicted, @nprofile1q... mentioning publicly that Mythos found no vulnerabilities in #curl got the attention of Aisle and they sent us a boatload.😬

I feel very weak this morning and disoriented. What is this glowing rectangle I hold in my hands? Where am I? What?
