I did get a response on whether Helix has a policy re: LLM usage or not

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/15408

I wouldn't call it encouraging because I don't agree that it's useful (nevermind ethical) but I wouldn't call it discouraging, either, because they're clearly aware that it can produce a lot of unhelpful, time wasting crap.

oil capital can't help but pollute open source, huh. Gotta get those oily fingers into every fucking open source project, twould seem.

@xgranade@wandering.shop "GPT moment in gaming" please, christ, I hope not

@cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev @xgranade@wandering.shop yeah, I just saw the screenshots and really hate it as well, as a matter of fact.

The fact that those seem to be some of the leading promo images... mmmm.

@glyph@mastodon.social @xgranade@wandering.shop @cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev lmao I also wondered this

RE: https://fire.asta.lgbt/notes/ajxbdymndhc8005d

have any games with a non-white character been run through DLYASS5? Have we seen a "blurry Obama to white guy" example yet?

NVIDIA: "first, we ruined scientific computing. Then, we ruined the job market for artists and writers. Finally, we ruined search engines and the internet in general. And gamers may think, 'has NVIDIA forgotten us?' But I assure you, gamers: we have not..."

I don't know why the CEO of a supposedly "eco-friendly" phone case company felt the need to write a pro-AI screed and send it to anyone who purchased from them before but MAN is that ever a fucking choice.

@catsalad@infosec.exchange behold, two guardians. one always tells lies about the last time they were fed, and the other also always tells lies about the last time they were fed

but seriously: companies should be forced to unlock hardware after they drop support. Stop making guaranteed e-waste. At least let people clean up your junk and re-use it.

the only Apple related news I wanna hear is (I'm not mad to hear about a new entry level macbook, admittedly):

1. "Liquid Glass is gone, forever"
2. "We are allowing alternate app stores and so-called sideloading regardless of jurisdiction!"
3. "We're unlocking bootloaders for older iOS/iPadOS devices"
4. "PC-style mobo/CPU combinations are available for Apple Silicon"

these would be great

@glyph@mastodon.social I wonder if this is why I find the whole genAI thing to be so very antithetical to creative pursuits; once you've been exposed to it, it's in there, and I feel like that just isn't broadly compatible with creativity?

Like we're all influenced, for sure, and those influences can become part of our own creative output. But I think there's a difference between, "I read a particular author" vs. "that author is standing over my shoulder telling me what to write". It doesn't help that the output is literally the most average output, either. It's like if the world's most generic author was hovering over your shoulder, telling you what to write.

That seems like creative death, not like a helper. And for programming, which is creative (and I'm glad we're all saying it), I feel that same element very much at play.

@dalias@hachyderm.io literally, my e-reader keeps putting this out as their latest patch notes and I both hate and love it.

git commit -m "Various bug fixes and stability improvements"

LLMs are sharp tools in the hands of plagiarists, con-men, spammers, and everyone who believes that creative expression is worthless. People who extract from the world instead of contributing to it.

Speaking of that LLM-less Zed fork, Gram: someone has already made an AUR package for it!

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gram-editor-git

(see https://codeberg.org/GramEditor/gram)

@schrotthaufen@mastodon.social ... man, it is not my day for noticing things, hah. jesus christ.

@schrotthaufen@mastodon.social I guess I do already have those installed but bleccccchhhhhh

@schrotthaufen@mastodon.social damn! I totally missed those 😭
