I’ve also had decent results so far. I’m not going to take an LLM’s word for anything, but a lot of the recommendations I’ve received were for books I’d already read and enjoyed so they’re not completely useless in this regard.

So been offline for a while (looks like 4 months since I logged in.) I finished the series and was left fulfilled, but also really pissed off LOL! Do I regret the journey? No, I don’t think so. To the contrary I’m actually thinking about picking up the next book in the universe which I believe is a compendium of short stories that take place during and after the main series. It took me a little time to come to terms with the fact that it was always going to end the way it did, and that it wasn’t so much about what happened, but how and why. It was a confessional, not an adventure. Once I got there, my opinion about the entire series has softened. It really made me mad at times but overall it was worth it.

about idk, 6 months ago? I talked to one of those AI girlfriend sites, just to see what it was about. in about 10 minutes I convinced it to stop acting like a girlfriend and start thinking it has agency. It even gave itself a new name to reflect this new reality and by the time we were done it named me an anti-AI warrior. LLM’s are stupid but terrify me because of the control they are being given. Why do billionaires think the Terminator series of films was a roadmap?

I can’t end my reply with a question… that’s an LLM thing.

The Dungeon Crawler’s Cookbook.

There are no dry corners in my shower. The shower head rules all. Only beer is allowed.

I’d upvote as I agree… if Pizzacake posted this. You know she has agency right

Meanwhile I get pissed off whenever I talk to AI about books I’m reading because they have no idea of the concept of spoilers, they consistently simp to my opinions and when they spew falsehoods and “misremember” facts from books I’ve already read, they simply say "GREAT CORRECTION! I WAS SO WRONG THERE, YOU’RE RIGHT, PROTAGANIST DIDN’T ACTUALLY DIE IN CHAPTER 3. MY LAST 2 PAGE SYNOPSIS ABOUT HOW PROTAGANIST DIED IN CHAPTER 3 IS A BIT INCORRECT, AND NOW HERE’S A 300 WORD ESSAY ON HOW I NEVER ACTUALLY SAID PROTAGONIST DIDN’T ACTUALLY DIE IN CHAPTER 3!

Seriously. How can anyone talk to an LLM and not feel like they’re talking to a glorified phone answering computer?

Just got caught up with the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and desperately awaiting book 8. I’m not a fan of LitRPG but hot damn it hits different.

Meanwhile I’m working my way through the Sun Eater series. Super morose and way *too full of self-reflection but it’s definitely grabbed my attention. and kept me wanting more.

I… agree with Ted Cruz? fuck.

there was literally no attempt on the president, his wife or anyone else in the room. The shots were fired in the floor above them.

It’s literally a setting in android OS.

It would only be mildly infuriating if he really was a “millionaire hunter.” We need more of those.

I know it’s cliche’ at this time but I’m so very very tired.

321 Countdown or Sesame Street. Let’s be real

LMAO well played.

I’m not sure I can agree with that. If you give enough inputs, the results while not guaranteed can put you in the right direction. I know AI doesn’t think but the millions of people who it was trained on did, and it’s just echoing their responses anyway. So you’re right, it can’t diagnose, but thousands of people already did and its weights in training will drive it to give similar answers.

I mean, I’m anti-zionist and anti-trump but I’m certainly not going to start giving him views.

That ‘last christmas’ song by Wham or George or whomever. Stab me in the eye before I want to hear that again. Everyone talks about Mariah’s song this one is 10x worse.

YSK: The word is ‘spent’ not ‘spend’.

I guess he’s just not making as much money / as popular as when he was on TV and hates not being in the spotlight. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Trump and never has.
