This is not judgment as much as it is programming a community and is perpetuating the opposite of correct judgment since it's inserting an emotion and opinion into a collective mind and discourse (the headline alone which might be all a lot of people scan and a tone-setter). It's going to cause reactions like the one you just had at many points in time used against people that decide to use modern tools. If Discurse wanted to start a discussion that might solve a problem they could have used a better headline.

>There’s nothing wrong with judgment. Judging someone’s character based on whether they use generative “AI” is a valid practice. You may not like being judged, but that’s another matter entirely.

You and I know that using AI is a metric to consider when judging ability and quality.

The difference is that it's not judgment but a broadcast, announcement.

In this case a snotty one from Discourse.

I mention that it lingers because I think that is a real psychological effect that happens.

Small announcements like this carry over into the future and flood any evaluation of yourself which can be described as torture and sabotage since it has an effect on decisions you make sometimes destroying things.

People is still alive?

Nice jewish word mostly meant to mock. Why would I care what a plugin that I don't even see in use has to say to my face (since I had to read this with all the interpretation potential and receptiveness available). The same kind of inserted judgment that lingers similar to "Yes, I will judge you if you use AI".

These numbers are inflated to be unparsable. I suspect it's either 14 people or a small monetary loss. Do you feel different today?

What do you think about the possibility that you are merely existing to be symbolic?

Meltdown v314 just went up. Fixing some markdown parsing errors.

Meltdown is a powerful AI interface made entirely in python, using TK as the GUI toolkit.

End of the World?

Have their been increasing talks about the world being in a catastrophic state lately beyond "dead internet theory" ?

This is something I deem possible, that is all. Also there is the spreading aspect to it by using the phone speakers in a room.

Noise Consumers

People watching short form videos on social networks are consuming noise transmissions. This contains data. They put it in craft videos like a graffiti art process. People consume it thinking it's interesting by scrolling with their phones. This is either good or bad (hackers or helpers).

That was a generic comment for LLM developers to take note for any product, I hate downvoting useful responses by accident.
Please make it so downvotes (thumbs down) requires a double click. I don't want to send hurtful signals when I accidentally hit that.

This is a game I've been working on. It has like 10+ types of lasers and some other interesting things.

And tbh it's my phone now, the laser sound is my ringtone, so if you want to chat with me you can use that.

Stop After Current

How many things in life are designed to be interacted with one by one and not in batch or random sequence?Even if presented in clusters, we have the ability to pick one thing.Then why is it that a music streaming service like YM Music is not presenting me with the ability to play a song one by one. Why does it force me to create entropy by transitioning and initiating the next song when I...

A lot of how I use AI is to assist me to build the software manually. I focus 1 function and ask it to fix or implement it. That's a good way to use AI. But if you mean using AI to improve existing systems, I also think that's being a done a lot. For instance, you know Krita the KDE drawing program? They naturally added a way to prompt image generation, based on your initial doodles, which makes a lot of sense.
