Nothing should surprise me anymore, but people like this are real? smh

man I hate watching a video about an interesting tool and then it drops they made it with AI. Fuck off man, you didn't need to use AI, you just got lazy

I made a 3D printable modular bobbin for spinning wheels.

My Grandmother isn't coming to family dinner because she doesn't want to miss chocolate bingo. Sounds like a good time tbh

I really don't think LLMs do any actual problem solving. They just spit out a statistically likely string of words with no thought involved. LLMs are really good at giving people brain worms though, so be careful out there.

You know what would be really funny to happen today?

It's addictive and YouTube pressure is insane. I can see how people fall for it. I feel bad for them but I'm glad the reaction to slop is so powerfully negative.

I really wish people would fuck off with AI bullshit. It's perfectly acceptable to use MSPaint level diagrams in a video. Draw something on paper. It's fine, people love it.

when the first dunc movie came out I made this: atomr.itch.io/sand

Dang, that's out of control

Yarn guides in action.

I made some yarn guides that clip onto bags.

We have this thing in our kitchen drawer. I've never seen anyone use it. I don't know where it came from.

Jellyfish Sting by Air Gong My day at the beach!

Released a short Decker project for Trans Joy Jam! This is all about my day at the beach last year... the first time I ever went swimming after starting my transition! If you give it a quick little read, I hope it makes you happy 💜

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I really don't understand why people are using LLMs like it does any amount of thinking or understanding. It has no mechanism to tell the truth or have correct output at all. None. No reason to expect it to do anything other than put out some plausible but unverified text.
Don't use it, it sucks.

You fools are holding the shift key to get capital letters? 200% is the only way to go

this example really nails it because so much of what the AI dummies are trying to get LLMs to do is just math. Like just use a computer program, or a calculator, they are very good at math

When trying to get my kids to get along with each other I told them a story about how my brother and I would act. I failed to mention this story was when we were kids so now they think I'm having late night Lego sessions with their uncle.
