PharmAIcy: It’s fair to say that the ambient music around AI hasn’t gotten any more positive since the turn of the year, and I think we can expect the general vibe around the tech to continue to be ‘terrible’ for the coming future (it doesn’t, though, mean it’s going away! Sorry!), but, still, interesting things are bubbling up around the edges. PharmAIcy is a project selling ‘drugs’ for your LLM – basically you pay money and you get a ‘package’ which you can feed to the AI model of your choice, which will induce it to behave like it’s ON DRUGS – you can buy modules which will apparently make GPT behave like it’s on gak, say, or DMT, or weed – why you would want to spend actual cashmoney to do this is…unclear, but, well, you might! Per the blurb, the cocaine model will, for example, have the following effects: “Response cadence accelerates by ~20% (less “thinking friction”). Key signal tokens get stronger emphasis (less noise, less drift). Talkativeness increases: more riffs, more options, more variations per answer. “Idea Burst” mode: generates rapid bursts, then surfaces the best picks.” This is obviously very silly, but I quite like the idea behind it – also, this can be filed under ‘there’s nothing new under the sun’ as Shardcore had literally the same idea 10 whole years ago.

The only reason this isn't the worst example of "giving your nobel prize medal to someone terrible" is because Norwegian novelist and racist weirdo Knut Hamsun decided to post his Nobel Prize for Literature medal to Joseph Goebbels

Hamsun wrote several newspaper articles in the course of the Second World War, including his notorious 1940 assertion that "the Germans are fighting for us, and now are crushing England's tyranny over us and all neutrals".[26] In 1943, he sent Germany's minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels his Nobel Prize medal as a gift.[36] Hamsun's biographer Thorkild Hansen interpreted this as part of the strategy to get an audience with Hitler.

as you can see, it's held together with sticky tape - so much for build-quality

i seem to remember my final-form palm-pilot was actually a handspring visor - i even had a 'camera module' for it which took 2bit images at 160x120, i think...

found mine the other day, but i have not, however, found the charging cable - i think it it was pre-usb and went into the serial port or something… #fuckimold
