  • I wouldn’t say “the cloud” is exactly in the same realm. It’s broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it’s a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

    I think I’m talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren’t the only things with money behind them.







  • I love how all the comments have caveats. Maybe that’s just the Lemmy demographic.

    I’ve got a weird relationship with anime. Never really watched it as a kid, except for pokemon.

    Two of my best friends were weebs in high school, so I got into some there, went to some cons with them after graduation. I’d binge with college friends pretty regularly, but it’s never really been something I seek out on my own for some reason. I guess I’m a social watcher.

    My taste is odd for it, too. It’s mostly about gems in the rough and based on vibes. A lot just doesn’t hit, and I can’t always tell why some things do.




  • I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

    Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.


  • Apologies for the late comment. So this is a full-fledged frontend like photon or alexandrite, but with this recommendation engine built in? On first glance, it looks so much more responsive and lightweight! I’m really wondering what you’ve done that other big frontends haven’t lol, no broken images or anything! If you do end up going open source, I might consider actually contributing to something for once. I’d love to help build out some features.

    Edit: After using it for a few minutes, wtf, it’s snappier than lemmy itself. And the community search, wow! Maybe a pretty ui does something to perception, I dunno. I am assuming you have barrels of cache lol.
