probably but it isn't one I've come across (in this form), thus my surprise
because I build things (which entails signing up for a service that someone else built)
fucking THIS
I am so immensely fucking tired of seeing "I built an AI to do $x" posts that all fucking reduce to 1) "I strapped a custom input to the openai api (whose inputs and execution I can't control nor reproduce reliably. I am very smart.)", 2) a bad low-scope shitty-amounts-of-training hyperspecific toy model that solves only their exact 5 requirements (and basically nothing else, so if you even squint at it it'll fall apart)
basilisk save us from the moronicity
I actually really liked this reply purely on the fact that it walked a different avenue of response
Because yeah indeed, under the lens of raw naïve implementation, the utter breadth of scope involved in basically anything is so significantly beyond useful (or even tenuous) human comprehension it’s staggering
We are, notably, remarkably competent at abstraction[0], and this goes a hell of a long way in affordance but it’s also not an answer
I’ll probably edit this later to flesh the post out a bit, because I’m feeling bad at words rn
[0] - this ties in with the “lossy at scale” post I need to get to writing (soon.gif)
slight queasiness like a reverse body high, tinged with experience of time distortion ("the fuck? since 2000?! WHY") and dissociation
some memory loss about the experience as well, with any recall about the details of the visions entirely vacant from my mind. it's like seeing the machine elves but my brain didn't want to remember
also, just ito "things to pick by which to point out dirtrag as a Shining Beacon", it's pretty fucking out there
