I think LLMs and generative AIs are a really interesting technology with many potential applications in the future and even today.

But it is ridiculous how tech bros and marketing are pushing and overselling the capabilities of a technology that is yet in its early childhood. Infancy is already past as it knows basic motor functions.

And it is m funny when these companies publish their ambitious attempts and hilarious failures like this article right here. It reminds me of a more funny and diverse and geeky internet when nerds got money from investors to do whatever with a domain name. Maybe it is still there, behind the wall of marketing execs.

MmmBop. I hated it the first time I heard it, I hate it now, and I only have to be reminded of it’s existence and it will play in my head because it is so fucking catchy that somebody must have sacrificed the minimum of one newborn to some dark deity that thrives one human suffering.

It was a mistake to leave the oceans in the first place.

Thinky boi is the CPU. GPU are also thinky but they are in parallel so plural. Thinky bois.

The mood light thing. Some televisions have adaptive lights that project colours of the screen on the wall behind. For me the telly is the window to another universe. I want to be immersed in the movie. I can maybe see the appeal if watching family entertainment and such but for me it’s a nope.

Homebrewing. Either everything you need to get started and going for like €100. Spend the rest on tools and equipment and ingredients as you go and learn what you need and why you need it.

Or, as it seems to me is the middle aged man thing to do¹, buy everything for a complete microbrewery and insist it is absolutely necessary with the best of laboratory grade equipment for your first batch of IPA that will taste like anybody else’s first batch of IPA and the only solution is to keep spending another €1000 when you got it on better equipment and gadgets and dodads and quirkmaflixers in magical materials and still nobody will be impressed but that’s just because you didn’t have the correct temperature to the third decimal and dear we absolutely need to take a small loan on the house no listen this is an investment when I get this going hey baby wait listen…

¹ I’m a middle aged man so I’m allowed to use these words.

I’m on the last generation of plasma still, waiting for OLED or micro-LED to become affordable. I love watching movies at night in a dark room with proper blacks on the screen. I don’t understand why people would want lights behind their telly.

If you are comfortable with command line and want to learn the Swiss army knife of such uses for future scripting and whatnot - curl.

I’m on the fly right now but search for “curl crawl web pages” and you’ll find.

Regardless of opinions, this article opinion piece is written like by an angry teenage nerd.

I don’t understand what these angry anti FF people want that keep on having weekly rants on the topic. You are free to not use the software if you don’t like it or the company or whatever. Just move on and be happy.

I’m getting tired of these haters any time Mozilla does literally anything and there is not a single constructive idea ever but the demand that Mozilla must operate like a benefactor for nerds that do not have to pay for anything ever.

Damn, I almost wish Mozilla went commercial with FF to fund the development of it just because.

Me of yesterday is a lazy fuck and me of tomorrow is a whiny bitch.

I don’t know why I stay with these guys.

Future me is always judging me, that smug bastard.

Cauldron? What? I don’t follow.

Edit I can’t seem to escape that URL properly on mobile. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauldron_(video_game)

Unrelated: The top bar in this article indicating the article position is so fucking stupid. Guess what the scroll bar on the right hand side is for?

Fun fact of the day: Xylitol is a type of sugar that is extracted from trees, typically from birch.

A toddler can pretend to be good at chess but anybody with reasonable expectations knows that they are not.

Instructions unclear, dick computer stuck in post.

I feel like this about Linux news that are YouTube videos and no description text in the post. I don’t want to watch your video or podcast. I’m not interested in your broadcasting career. I want to know what was worth being posted about.

The first sequel is so so, but the others that are all centered around Burt Gummer are plenty of silly fun too.

I feel like a flock of seagulls
