Like, I need to actually polish this in a proper language (not python) and make this a real game instead of slop lmfao

I really do think a bunch of rich execs saw they can coax an AI to make a shitty, buggy af version of pong for them and now my entire industry is in psychosis over it

The way I don't want to say anything about people talking about brain atrophy against AI because well, fuck AI, but the way every single bone in my body that has spent any time studying psychology and neuroscience (a bachelor's worth, so eh, but more than most saying this stuff) just crawls every ti

Every once in a while the internet recommends me one of these pieces that's actually worth reading. Gentoo is my daily driver, so I always appreciate a good honest view of it. Sometimes, it's a massive pain in the dick and earns its reputation as difficult. Other times, that's just silly.

I failed to install a complex Linux distribution on a virtual machine but I'm even more determined to try again and make it work.

I think I am gonna end up putting this game onto GitHub public domain with the prompt history so it's clear the vibecoding I did for class to make it, but I really do want to recreate it with a better language and better code lmfao

I keep running into things in this OS class that I just learned ~somewhere~ while working as a software engineer. Example: I created a monitor pattern at a recent job and didn't know the name and neither did any of my coworkers. So I spent an afternoon studying concurrent patterns and found out.

I have to stop playing this game. I came up with a really fun game mechanic. It's literally just a dungeon crawler with necromancers and a kinda crazy tic-tac-toe strategy.

So, I made a roguelike with x and o characters. If you choose x, all the enemies are o, and vice versa. I added a corpse feature for defeated enemies and then added Raise so I can have up to 5 units in a squad. Now I'm adding 3-in-a-row tic-tac-toe insta-defeats enemies in any relevant 3x3 grid.

Me: "Fuck, lol, AI kinda sucks" Also me: "Hey, remember that chat bot we made at like 10 years old hahahhaa" Also me: "Lol, these chuds" Also me: "Hey, a masters in AI sounds like fun, right? Let's do that!" Also me: "Hey, this actually is somehow a funny thing, isn't it, and I'm not the only

Lol, it's all fucking prompting. Every little hack is fucking prompting, begging the parrot to say the right thing. It's annoying as hell how well I can do it with that understanding. This isn't necessary or inevitable.

Uhhhhhhhh Is there like an etiquette about turning in 5000 lines of AI code and markdown decision making for a masters class that says I have to write a thing in a week using AI code?

The worst thing about vibecoding is that I can just throw out shit code all the time, too, and it's usually about the same. It literally is a technical debt that has always annoyed me, not just the memetic "technical debt" lol

Somebody farted so bad, they evacuated a Spiderman showing over it

The AI is kinda giving me some correct analysis about making this a real rogue + tic-tac-toe game. It's kinda a rad prototype. But oh man, I would love to code this in not-python after I finish the prototype for this class.

I basically just have this small roguelike with just x and o now and I'm not gonna lie, playing this game is kinda addicted. But also vibecoding sucks lmfao

If I have to vibecode a game for this class, it's gonna at least be a mix of rogue and tic tac toe.

Lol, the time. Fuck the surveillance.

Oh cool, I have to make a whole video game this next week.

Dammit. I haven't written enough of this paper yet and it's officially midnight. I'm just finishing reading another paper 😭

I need to write this paper but I'm just reading this paper and it's kinda a good overview paper.

fucking cynically

Fuck, I don't think I'm gonna finish this paper before midnight again. Yep, gonna have to change my patterns on the school work. Kinda figured that out when I spent all day in bed and didn't get shit done yesterday lol.

This paper shows that immigration enforcement can _increase_ crime. Undocumented immigrants already have the lowest crime rate, but tough-on-immigration policy makes immigrants less likely to report crime. So immigration enforcement worsens the problem it was ostensibly meant to solve

This OS class is actually pretty cool, but man, I'm having writers block on this journal prompt right now.

I'm gonna start using Furthermore even more just because people think it means AI now. Noooooooope. I love that fuckin word.
