I wonder how much of the loneliness epidemic can be attributed to every major social network pivoting from “stay connected with your friends” to “forcibly watch a never-ending stream of unrelated videos made by strangers.”

I connected two #meshtastic nodes to two separate computers, wired each one up to a local LLM, named them Rama and Sita, and made them chirp at each other, back and forth… forever.

I don’t know why I did this.

Multiple sine wave oscillation functions, combined with procedurally generated noise, alter the size and orientation of hundreds of line forms. Layered on top of each other, they produce moiré interference patterns: the emergent properties of shape and color, paint and paper.

Individually, each paint stroke is a simple straight edge. When combined, they produce resonant layers of complex, swirling color.

A friend of mine suggested that we stop using the sparkle ✨ emoji as the symbol for AI and replace it with a magic eight ball 🎱 as it more realistically conveys how the technology works. I've been thinking about that a lot lately. 😂

If Zoom actually cared about building a useful product, instead of whatever infuriating crap they're spewing out now, they'd have Sonic's drowning warning music play whenever a scheduled meeting is about to go over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yw5jkAHgME
