remember remember, eternal september

(not that I much agree with the classist overtones of the original, but fuck me does it come to mind often)

it makes me feel fucking ancient to find that this dipshit didn't seem to get the remark, and it wasn't even that long ago

“Are you sure you’re holding it correctly?”

christ, every damn time

I'm sure every poster who's ever popped in to tell us about how extremely useful and good LLMs are for this are gonna pop in realsoonnow

(sub: apologies for non-sneer but I’m curious)

tbh I suspect I know exactly what you reference[0] and there is an extended conversation to be had about that

it doesn’t in any manner eliminate the foundational problems in specificity that many of these have, they still have the massive externalities problem in operation (cost/environmental transfer), and their foundational function still relies on having stripmined the commons and making their operation from that act without attribution

I don’t believe that one can make use of these without acknowledging this. do you agree? and in either case whether you do or don’t, what is the reason for your position?

(separately from this, the promises I handwaved to are the varieties of misrepresentation and lies from openai/google/anthropic/etc. they’re plural, and there’s no reasonable basis to deny any of them, nor to discount their impact)

[0] - as in I think I’ve seen the toots, and have wanted to have that conversation with $person. hard to do out of left field without being a replyguy fuckwit

have you ever run into the term “learned helplessness”? it may provide some interesting reading material for you

(just because samai and friends all pinky promise that this is totally 170% the future doesn’t actually mean they’re right. this is trivially argued too: their shit has consistently failed to deliver on promises for years, and has demonstrated no viable path to reaching that delivery. thus: their promises are as worthless as the flashy demos)

It would be a simple matter to have it summarize the output it's about to give you and dump the output of it paints the subject in a negative light.

lol. like that’s a fix

(Hindenburg, hitler, great depression, ronald reagan, stalin, modi, putin, decades of north korea life, …)

and because I’ve dropped Spotify

oh also, since it may be of benefit to you: I did this a few years back too. attempted to get my play history out. that turned out to be a mess, and definitely missed some shit in the export.

then I started looking at what option I had for starting to seed that into something else, and, fuck me. apple music desktop app? no fucking API exposed for search on the streaming half of the app. all the ex-itunes/local shit? plenty hooks. "Apple Music" side? nope.

you have to go get a fucking developer key to be able to hit the Apple Music API to be able to do that. (or to go use a "free service" which handily gives people access to your full fucking library and thus allows them to mine it, and no fucking way go fuck yourselves thank you)

it's fucking mental

I am still curious about how well that belief will hold up under a couple hundred bucks of darknet services

Hosting entity appears to be at the bottom:

Ben Pace & the team at Lightcone Infrastructure.

Could start digging from there

(And then I glanced at your post history and noticed a trend of JAQing off so I now doubt whether you’re sincere in asking)

Often seen as “weird nerds coming to defense of $x” (such as musk, or in this case the kagi dudebro)
