in my use case, the hallucinations are a good thing. I write fiction, in a fictional setting that will probably never actually become a book. If i like what gpt makes up, I might keep it.

Usually, I’ll have a conversation going into detail about a subject, this is me explaining the subject to gpt, then having gpt summarize everything it learned about the subject. I then plug that summary into my wiki of lore that nobody will ever see. Then move on to the next subject. Also gpt can identify potential connections between subjects that I didn’t think about, and wouldn’t have if it didn’t hallucinate them.

on the one hand, you’re right and I agree with you.

on the other hand, I’ve got places to be and other people walk so fucking slow.

fuck yeah. does chaos mod still work? I miss a good grappling hook.

not as good as it used to be, still the best news sub on that shit site.

me: does a thing because I like it and I get kinda not shit at it.

Everyone else: HaVe You cOnSIDErEd DoinG ThaT PRofEssIONaLLY? YOu cOULd mAKE so MUCH MOneY.!1!

me: fuck off. I have a job. I do this for me.

everyone else: Do What yOU LOve anD You’lL neVER worK A dAy IN Your life.!

me: turn your hobby into your job and you don’t have a hobby anymore. There’s no faster way to hate your passion than to monetize it.

I made the jump to Linux a few months ago, and while there are certain conveniences that I miss, everything I actually need works fine. As for gaming, I don’t play anything with kernel level anticheat, so it doesn’t matter to me that those don’t work on linux.

And notice how all the screeching about genocide has gone silent? Proves that they never actually cared.

linux support when?

Couple of months ago there was a blue alert that went out across most of Texas, hours after an incident, with the most generic possible description of a dude, and it was like 4am. Useless, illegal, and disabled the alarms on my phone so I was late for work.

this is honestly the thing that’s getting me to question my atheism.

holy shit does that look like a lot of money for not a lot of machine.

there goes the goalposts

to copy my own comment from another similar thread:

I’m an idiot with no marketable skills. I put boxes on shelves for a living. I want to be an artist, a musician, a programmer, an author. I am so bad at all of these, and between having a full time job, a significant other, and several neglected hobbies, I don’t have time to learn to get better at something I suck at. So I cheat. If I want art done, I could commission a real artist, or for the cost of one image I could pay for dalle and have as many images as I want (sure, none of them will be quite what I want but they’ll all be at least good). I could hire a programmer, or I could have chatgpt whip up a script for me since I’m already paying for it anyway since I want access to dalle for my art stuff. Since I have chatgpt anyway, I might as well use it to help flesh out my lore for the book I’ll never write. I haven’t found a good solution for music.

I have in my brain a vision for a thing that is so fucking cool (to me), and nobody else can see it. I need to get it out of my brain, and the only way to do that is to actualize it into reality. I don’t have the skills necessary to do it myself, and I don’t have the money to convince anyone else to help me do it. generative AI is the only way I’m going to be able to make this work. Sure, I wish that the creators of the content that were stolen from to train the ai’s were fairly compensated. I’d be ok with my chatgpt subscription cost going up a few dollars if that meant real living artists got paid, I’m poor but I’m not broke.

These are the opinions of an idiot with no marketable skills.

bill gates being less shitty than most does not make him good.

i applaud you for being the change that you want to see in the world

that sounds like way more effort than is reasonable to expect from a shitpost.

I like it.

Which I’d respect if he was honest about it. I don’t think he’s capable of being honest with himself, much less anyone else.

it’s a repost, op didn’t censor it. you’d know if you read the text.
