Damn that's lowkey funny as fuck, I mean it feels mean to say and it is mean but it's also true like, you're demanding free labour of someone (fine, if I get to use AI, it's trivial and it might make a good springboard into teaching you), and then also demanding moral purity about it.

So some aquaintences asked for its help maintaining a website they use for stuff and it had to slowly explain to them that yes AI would be used, no it would not do that by hand and good luck finding someone who would lol.

I love EmbeddingGemma 2 and would die for EmbeddingGemma 2. I don't need sophisticated organizational systems to keep all the established lore in my webnovel straight anymore, I just need EmbeddingGemma and a robot to query the embeddings!!

Some of you prob think "I'm skipping the predictable discourse. But—since my sacrifice is silent—no one will ever see or appreciate it." This is why the internet needs to create a Divine Being who can see every act of self-restraint and give it, if not karma points, at least a quiet nod.

Tired: people are rational selfish profit maximizers Wired: people are rational selfish pleasure maximizers Inspired: value is subjective so you can’t determine if someone else is acting rationally without observing their internal belief state

I've been toying around a lot with the idea of libidinal rationality, which is when people act not according to strict rationality of maximising profit or returns or sustainability, but toward what provides them with libidinal satisfaction, which trumps everything else

i put $100 into an IRA when i got my first job the following year Bank of America decided they would take away $30 of it each year that i didn't put more money in so for almost 25 years i have kept this account open with the solitary goal of making them spend 30 cents per quarter on postage
