Every day I wait for the tram to get back home and have to look at this campaign poster by Austria's extrem right party FPÖ. It's AI generated.

Let's learn how to identify AI images using two recent posters by FPÖ.

1st image: Campaign poster for FPÖ's "Blue-Harry", supposedly a metal worker
2nd image: What Blue-Harry really looks like. He's a credit risk manager
3rd image: Poster for "Heimat Games", a Hitler-Youth inspired sujet for "homeland games"

Let's start with the 3rd image

First hint: the skin texture is way too smooth and pasty looking. Not a smoking gun, but smoke.

There's also not enough blond kids inside FPÖ's Hitler-Youth-Cosplay offspring called RFJ to gather for such a photo.

Cleaning out some code. Found an old "game" I wrote 12 years ago for @wheresmyfu_pony 's birthday.

Naturally, it's "amazing". Resurrected it and put it on the innertubes. Doubt anyone other than us can beat it.

Actually pretty amazing. This was written with libGDX 0.9.9, so pre 1.0 release. I had to change 4 lines of code to make it work with the latest and greatest.

Good job by all the maintainers keeping things running.

Avert your programmer eyes. Code here:

Heh, I don't remember having written what's essentially "Mario's shitty Scum VM".

Seems like it would be pretty easy to add more stuff.

Writting games is such fun. Wonder why I stopped doing that.

The Goomba stomping scene is stupid simple as well. Interweaves cut-scene/point-and-clicky stuff with twitch game play.

Austria's governing party "ÖVP" has launched a campaign about austrian "Leitkultur". If you do not behave like an Austrian, you should leave. They've also set up a comission tasked with codifying this into law. Not shitting you.

So I built a new thing. LEITKULTUR-O-MAT. A chatbot that thinks and replies like your average Austrian. In Austrian dialect.

https://leitkulturomat.marioslab.io

The scary part is, that it's actually pretty close to your average Austrian...

@dynode it's a little confused dialect wise :p

@artdanion I'm afraid they'll have to leave.

I built a new thing:

https://woswormeileistung.marioslab.io

Two parts:

  1. Clean, transform, and publish the Austrian parlament's "open-data" (persons, session transcripts) for easy analysis by anyone

  2. Slap a UI on top of the clean data to analyse things like

  • Abscences of persons
  • Interjections (tell you more about a person than speeches really...)
  • What silly signs they put up on the speakers desk
  • search speeches
  • ..

I guess not every Austrian politician will be happy

@DetersHenning oh, interesting. i'm well off with spare time at night, so I'd rather not steal proper researchers funding :)

Problem:

  • I have a self-contained service, say a simple docker-compose setup
  • i have customers that can sign up with me
  • each customer needs their own instance of that service

Anything off the shelf for that? i.e. something that spins up a cheap vps on trigger?

@mkoek maybe, I have no idea how any of this works :D

@Klowner They'd get an ip/subdomain and communicate with it via REST + an admin web interface served by the instance itself.

@RichardKogelnig Cheers, I'll take a look!

I've built a basic RAG system on top of the Spine documentation and previous forum answers from staff.

It's silly how effective this is it. And it only works, because the knowledge base the LLM gets its info from is of good quality. The system itself (indexing, retrieval, completion) is trivial.

(No worries, there's always a human in the loop. This should just help us answer recurrent questions)

Since all of the knowledge base is embedded into a vector space for this, we can also re-use the vectors to find related discussions easily, and also replace our Google-based search.

All with ~2k LOC and an OpenAI API key (which is extremely cheap for these use cases, about $10 per month)

There's a big Austrian news paper called "derStandard". Every time they write an article about a developer or programmer, they headline "us" with "Hobby-programmer" or "Hobby-developer".

So I wrote a Chrome Extension that adds "Hobby-" to other job titles on their page as well.

(possibly only really funny for German speakers)
