The idea that UCLA can offer a course completely "AI" generated from top to bottom and advertise part of the virtue of this approach being preventing students from using chatGPT in their assignments is an unspeakably powerful indictment of how fucked up our educational models are.

Now that I have more followers, I'm reaching out again to say I'm looking for a Sami sensitivity reader to review about 850 words of a fantasy novel. Very happy to pay said reader and also happy to just have a chat about themes if reading/reviewing isn't possible.
recommendations if wanted, re: self-medication experiment (mph)
@tastytea@very.tastytea.de Ah, hadn't realized they're capsules, I'm used to the solid pills! Capsules does make it somewhat easier, as you can indeed open them up and mix them into something else, and using a precision scale you can dose it quite precisely.
Not sure if it's prolonged-release tablets or immediate-release that you're using, I have experience only with the latter, though I expect the former to work pretty much the same in terms of dosing.
recommendations if wanted, re: self-medication experiment (mph)
@tastytea@very.tastytea.de Make sure to check the maximum safe dose (is based on body weight) if you haven't already; aside from that, based on the symptoms I'd actually recommend trying a *lower* dose next time, and gradually 'micro-upping' it by drinking black tea. It sounds like it was acting as a stimulant for you, which AFAIK usually means you're slightly too high in your dose. If you're feeling 'wired', it definitely is too high!
(Ignore the 'starting dose' recommendations listed everywhere, they are close to useless and are often too high, the correct dose seems highly personal)

@idlestate @djsundog It's only an "app" if it's on NeXTstep or descendants, otherwise it's sparkling computer programs.

kids don’t even know you used to go to the mall and go to a store inside the mall and find boxes that had computer programs inside and you’d look at the boxes and compare them to other boxes and decide which computer programs you wanted to run and pay for them at the counter and take them home and find out they sucked ass. they just don’t know.

harsh language, ai slop
I'm somehow really mad today about AI slop (imagery) and it's slow adaptation in leftist & chaos spheres, like wtf let art-people do your designs, they enjoy that, don't just give up on creativity and much less so, don't go out of your way to fucking steal art.. I hate that so much

I love when I'm on the Steam forum and someone quotes me and says "what did you mean by this" and then I reply and tell them what I meant by that and they say "thank you for clearing that up now I understand"

I appreciate all of you who provide knowledge or documentation in text based markdown or wiki format. With simple formatting such as headers, paragraphs and bullet points for readability. Only using graphics when it really helps getting the message across.

"Tortious interference" is the phrase of the day.
Brand Shield and other AI slopware needs to be sued to death for all the damage they cause.

posting nudes and/or extremely niche furry porn is basically popping rounds into the dirt in your back yard to keep the rent low in your neighborhood.

@baralheia Of course do not feed the bigot bucket. But also try not to be openly hostile or rude to the bell ringers. Often they are unhoused or otherwise needy people who are coerced into "volunteering". They're not the ones profiting from bigotry.

Hey USAmerican friends! It's that time of year again and the Salvation Army bell ringers will be out soon... but whatever you do, don't drop anything in their bucket! The Salvation Army organization is openly hostile to the LGBTQ+ community and does NOT deserve your donations. Don't feed the bigot bucket!

"kids these days don't know how to fix anything"
Kids these days have never in their lives encountered anything that was meant to be fixed rather than thrown away.

So a crazy thing happened. In a crime thriller film called Les chambres rouges (Red Rooms, 2023) there is a scene where the hacker protagonist is attempting to purchase a snuff film in online auction. The auction happens via IRC or IRC-like chatting environment and to my surprise there's actually me @rolle and my wife @mustikkasoppa who are one of the bidders.
1) The nickname of my wife is mistakenly written as "mustikasoppa" (with one k) but if I recall correctly she has used a mistakenly written nickname in the past
2) We are both operators and on the same IRC channel as we've been for the past 17 years
This is not a coincidence. One nickname can be made up by accident but not two with these features and definitely not in a French movie. My wife's nick "mustikkasoppa" is Finnish and means "blueberry soup".
Our IRC logs are more or less public because of open source and statistics so I presume the scene has been made with chatgpt which has scraped our nicks from the Internet so that they ended up in the movie. We still chat via IRC every day together.
The era of AI... Do your background check, folks. I'm glad this wasn't a dramatized documentary film but a complete fiction. However my wife and I are real. Mixed feelings.
