Back in the 80s, the second any two boomers had some sort of camera at the same time they would immediately take a picture of each other talking each other’s pictures because obviously it would be hilarious. So maybe another gaggle if AI generated people are getting their pictures taken at the same time, and two of the aigen ladies wanted to make sure they had their own copies …
One thing that concerned me a bit was just how many of the commenters were totally there for it. The central figure of their preferred filesystem turns out to be off his rocker and a gate number of people seemed to be roughly “if this guy made such a good filesystem, and he claims he has a mathematical proof of consciousness, will, guess there must be something to it…”
Sure there seemed to be people with more expected reactions, but surprised he had any traction at all…
I’ve no idea about correlation with AI psychosis and FOSS or even software development in general, I’ve only read about a handful and this is the first developer that cropped up, but it’s not like I’ve been actively looking. Don’t know if I’ve seen any pattern, some have been alone and have had built a family, some young and some much further along in life. Some fairly anonymous and then there’s this guy with fame and a following and quite the ego… Many who by all accounts never exhibited mental health problems before… It’s just weird.
And he was probably much much smarter then compared to now
Wow, flags don’t get redder than that. Dude has issues…
On top of everything else. He asserts that he made his LLM a “real girl” by feeding it a “mathematical proof” that it is a conscious being… That he has figured out this whole conscious AI thing 15 years ago…
Dude has some severe LLM psychosis… And thinks he’s such a hot shot smart person that such a problem couldn’t apply to him…
This is really a sad and worrying example of a whole mess of incoming mental health problems…
capitalism
Think Epstein’s network crossed economic ideological boundaries. Noam Chomsky considered Epstein a good friend while simultaneously being a staunch critic of capitalism. There are signs of being connected to the USSR, China, North Korea, … If Epstein connected with fame or power, it didn’t matter what ‘system’ was in play.
Yeah, I don’t get why people like the default tone of those LLMs, they are so grating on me. When I get slop emailed that so greatly amused the person who prompted it, I can’t believe they are eager to share rather than repulsed at how cringey it was.
And no one remembers the failures, except maybe their family with that wacky Uncle that had some crazy get rich quick scheme. In some other timeline, some kids think of their crazy uncle Mark Zuckerberg who dropped out of college because he thought he could do better than MySpace, and now he bounces around chasing various hustles that keep failing.
Execs in this sort of company are narrative first, facts a distant second. LLMs speak their language, something agreeable that sounds right whether it is or not.
BTW, investors are largely in the same boat, they are investing with having no realistic way to know whether the nice things being said are backed by reality up front. They only know if/when it goes down in a blaze.
Further in gaming, maybe they tank some headliner properties with bad reviews if the mess them up, but it’s possible that most of the ‘sold’ games barely even get played, thanks to Steam hoarding. A lot of businesses can coast on past glory for years and years before things blow up, if at all.
Of course I also see that the go spawns python and does stuff with that…
And there’s lots of other dubious issues that look like an odd mismash of intro level programming stuff with unfortunate performance implications, and a very strong vibe code smell, though the commit interval is a bit larger than I would have presumed with vibe coding, but the volume of changes seem AI sloppy…
Well, broadly it looks like slop, probably AI slop, but either way I wouldn’t go anywhere near this project…
This is why the LLMs are so popular with execs, they are the ultimate yes men. They will feed ego and purport to give a strategy that will support any dumbass idea without challenging them.

With fish, you just need to fight more to earn that kill.
We’ve had quite a recent history of nations thinking they will have a quick, easy offensive and be done with it.
I don’t think every terrible Trump decision can be laid at Putin’s feet.
There are plenty of other folks pulling the strings too.
It’s set before the movie, sidestepping that problem.
But Iran is a Russian supplier, so strategically, the more US can burn through Iran military capability, the less they have to give to Russia.
Also, the longer the strait is blocked, the better Russia can do in the fossil fuel export situation. So Iran suffering military losses and the strait being open as soon as possible are also strategic imperatives for Ukraine.
I have no doubt they happened as random hand gestures, but they were not rock paper scissoring. The only thing that looks exactly like an intentional rock-paper-scissor would be the left picture, but just indicating “two” could look like that.
I just don’t know, they’d have to be pretty different, or else have their life paths be ‘stunted’. There’s 20 years of off-camera developments to reconcile. 20s to early 30s characters versus 40s to 50s really should be in very different places in their lives.
Besides, looks like they are bringing back Alan Tudyk, so for that they pretty much have to be set before the movie. Or else pull some Palpatine crap.
Thanks to genai ads, we will all be schizophrenic soon as every electronic device will be taking specifically to each of us constantly.
