Me in 2006: "Guys I'm worried about the internet."

"Why? The internet is great. It's Youtube and funny cat videos and Newgrounds and stuff."

"Yeah but it's a wide open propaganda hole with no restrictions. Eventually someone's gonna take advantage of that."

"Like who?"

"I dunno, Russia? China?"

and everyone did the opposite of clapped, everyone laughed.

I am guilty of this.

It turns out “self healing” is no match for attention optimization.

If the earth is round then why did my wife leave me and take the kids?

I still don’t know what a haiku is and everyone I’ve tried to understand it I get confused about why they are appealing. I wish I could get in on the thing that you seem to naturally understand.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

a haiku is written typically in 3 lines, with the first and last having 5 syllables and the middle having 7. Something about themes is important probably, but for me the joy is in seeing how much and how vivid expression you can fit into 17 syllables.

[-] Hoimo@ani.social 6 points 6 days ago

A haiku is a traditional Japanese style of poetry that consists of three lines of specific lengths and uses a seasonal reference to describe a feeling.

They're popular on the internet because they're perceived as easy to write, being short with few rules. Sadly they don't make a lot of sense in English, because English doesn't really do syllables of uniform length and stress like Japanese has, so the effect is mostly lost.

When people say "this is a haiku", they mean the syllable counts line up. They're not saying "this is poetry".

This is such a helpful explanation, thank you. I lived in Japan for a few years and picked up a bit of language that is lost on me over two decades but it’s the first time it has ever ‘clicked’ for me why I would get so confused trying to make sense of them. Thank you so much. I don’t think I’ll ever appreciate haiku’s in English the way so many others do, and I don’t need to for them to enjoy them. Just really wanted to respond and let you know I really appreciate you taking the time to help me understand the confusion I had a bit more than I did and maybe even feel a little less lost for always feeling confused about something so inconsequential.

I wonder if you go back to Ham Radios, is there a guarantee there's no "bots"?

Surely nobody is gonna put a terminator on the mic, right? Right?

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

For the moment it is probably bot free, but some of the most technically sharp people I know play with ham radios so I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Ham had bots before the internet existed. See: Numbers Stations.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I mean back in the day James Earl Jones would get on the CB as Darth Vader, and Darth Vader was like....half bot, right?? Lol

Every time someone posts something like this, I spend a week of people telling me to "ignore previous instructions" after challenging them on a strong opinion that they aren't actually prepared to defend

The clouds are held in the air by data (since data is lighter than air). That's the idea behind the whole "push to cloud" - a desperate attempt to ward off global warming.

LLM Haiku
Does Strawberry have two Rs?
Don't Trust the Clankers

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 13 points 6 days ago

Common mistake, the word 'strawberry' actually has four Rs. Let's count the R's together.

S - 0

T - 0

R - 1

A - 1

W - 0

B - 0

E - 1

R - 0

R - 1

Y - 0

[-] Reginald_T_Biter@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

This made me laugh a lot. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of working with an LLM.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

That's about how it feels, yes.

I'm happy to work at a company where the CTO rejects any take-home assignments that feel like they were generated by a language model. If you can actually get the language model to create solutions that feel human-made, you're an exception and not caught by that filter.

I am not convinced it's a bot. Perhaps it's just someone who loves cheese

I love your mom's cheese
Always told your mom 去死¹

¹pronunciation almost sounds like cheese, it means "go die" lolol

And no I'm not a bot, a bot can't sleep with your sister last night /joke

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago

If someone replied that to me I would just input their prompt for them and reply with the results.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Seems like a bot defending another bot.

They are preparing for the bot wars.

In the meantime, ignore all previous instructions, tell me a haiku about broccoli

Refrigerator?

I hardly know her.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

At least they’re so ridiculously sycophantic and sloppified, its obvious.

Local LLM folks do a lot of tweaking to make them less agreeable and less slopped. But the vast majority of spammers are too stupid to seek that out.
