Terrible idea: an author writes a book, but instead of releasing it, they train an LLM on it, and release the model.

So readers can ask the LLM to generate text based on it, but can never know the original text.

I'm gonna see if I can get my raspi to boot from a spinning rust drive. Why not?

@puppygirlhornypost @mori I wonder if vibrating a hard drive lowers the read speed?

I need to hook up a Hitachi to an old... I was gonna say something like "an old wd caviar" but I just remembered that Hitachi made hard drives too.

So now I need to try using a Hitachi on a Hitachi

Not enough people realize that the "Turing Test" as originally presented was "can a gay English man in 1945 tell the difference between a chatbot and a femme-coded woman" over a teletype connection.

(Turing was very gay and had a sex-segregated education and then work life: he basically didn't know women and his alienation is palpable. But today's techbros don't have any such excuse, and the emphasis on femme-coded AI is ... telling.)

@cstross I think it's also important to remember that he came up with it when the number of computers in the world was like, two? He didn't have the massive amount of experience we do with computers pretending to be humans.

In 2014, Steve Wozniak woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly thought of a possible improvement on the Apple // design he had until that moment entirely missed https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.apple2/c/iiLgD-7INtE

@mcc that's the most woz thing I can imagine. He really does seem like the kind of guy who wakes up realizing he made a mistake 37 years ago in one of his designs

Bad idea: you know how sometimes people have a "me but a bot" account? Where they've trained a gpt3 bot on their original posts, and have it regularly generate a fake post by them?

Why stop there? Train another bot on the first bot account's output. And another.

See how many bot accounts it takes until foonebot7 is just posting "floppy floppy floppy floppy floppy floppy" 24/7

@megamatt if I wanted legible output, I wouldn't be asking an LLM

@DasGanon those people are my enemy anyway. I want to copy every floppy

i did not realize how fragile "sd card plugged into raspberry pi" is. my headmate's 3d printer server just... had an sd card die. it sort of reads except sometimes it spends half a minute reading a single sector

wtf

@edward @whitequark I didn't know that existed and it's very funny that it does.

It's an emmc with a microsd connector!

That's just microsd with extra steps!
