The gamers out there: y'all using just as much power and water for your fancy RTX gwaffix. Probably more.

Yeah, I'm not "using" water when I bake my own models myself on the hodgepodge rig of GPUs in my back closet. I have a very expensive heater doing useful work instead of just producing heat.

I train my net navi in the winter. During the summer inference is the same as playing a video game.

It's always okay.

Neurotypical people.

💙 I'm on may way off of this website, but I like sharing the few things I found on this place that didn't make me feel horrible.

Basically the day they were launched.

Hi! The most recent artist I discovered on this platform is this individual, who uses hand-written code to programmatically generate very interesting liminal-space-type texture work. I very much love his work and would like to invite you and your readers to check him out.

At what point does the model I grow myself and tune myself on my GPU become mine or is it still content theft? Asking all my anti-AI followers to weigh in lol before I delete my acct here.

Twitter (and twitterlikes) are by hypersexual neurotypicals for hypersexual neurotypicals. I'm not hypersexual or neurotypical, so why the hell am I here?

When I feel sad, instead of begging for internet attention, I make things.

I made this today in java script. It made me feel good things.

Consequentially, I no longer have the energy for the temporal, highly-parasocial, highly-personal kinds of relationships that Bluesky demands... and no longer have the medication that helps me filter your bullshit, your triggering imagery, and the complex social masks you force me to wear.

I would rather have the.. sometimes-genius//sometimes-asleep cognitive profile I'm used to.. than forced "on" by meds, becoming dependent on em for my sense of grounding... only for em to be taken away, used as the carrot at the end of a stick, on the whims of the State of my insurance co.

Same fam. It's hard to leave this website, and that's mostly y'all's fault.

You outnumber these assholes 500 to 1.

I tried inviting another user on my local network to a copilot chat once and watched it send one token to my workstation and the next token to her workstation back and forth so that both of us had exactly half of the message (it was fucking hilarious).

Copilot, at least, gets me.

Probably because it already has all my data.

A lot of what I'm expressing right now is pain and fear, but there is a nugget of Truth to it. You aren't going to want to see it because it calls into question your worldview.

If you're a leftist, a progressive, a socialist... And you're here, you are participating in the machine that eats you.
