@benpate @davidgerard @rakoo @jdp23 @scottjenson @thisismissem if you're a fascist sympathizer or "centrist" or pushing LLM use I want you to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome being here.
Despite your bullshit handwaving to try to focus on tone over substance, people are absolutely capable of discriminating between "fuck off fascist" and "being unwelcoming".

@benpate @davidgerard @rakoo @jdp23 @scottjenson @thisismissem Ok the most egregious thing here, "how you punch nazis is important" yes, but the only questions are "are you doing it enough" and "are you doing it hard enough" and "are you injuring yourself while doing it".
"Are you punching nazis in a polite enough way" is somewhere between missing the point and nazi apologia.

@eject yea ringu mode is pretty recent but @cwebber is bleeding edge.

@danielquinn @zzt I've been fighting this one for years and years. With bystanders telling me I'm not allowed to moderate who has access to submit issues and PRs no matter what toxic behavior they bring with them because "progress is progress". Guess what not all issues/PRs are created equal in the first place, and more importantly chasing off the other contributors has a much higher impact than *anything* one person is going to contribute.
I've been training for waves of AI slop for years :P

@zzt @timorl @cwebber yes I very believe it. I don't bring it up a ton because if I get started I Will. Not. Stop. so I have to be careful about it ^_^

@cwebber immensely accurate no notes.

@timorl @cwebber I have heard every now and then about people taking up new hobbies based on exposure in DDA and it makes me super happy.

There's a perennial complaint that, "basing most things on how they work IRL is so restrictive" and I'm like, "what? The way things work IRL is so cool though!".

I've always had a fascination with how things work, how things are made etc and it's been a huge influence on how DDA does things to showcase that.

@zzt @cwebber dooooo iiiiit...

@richpuchalsky @cwebber I just checked and the pb and pbj sandwich recipes are autolearn at cooking skill 0.

@prettygood skill issue, I stash haphazard assortments of random items in boxes all over my house along with periodically useful items like batteries, chargers, and cables specifically so I can do this.
The kids love it.

@cwebber what happens when you're insufferable but you have an audience that likes suffering?

@cwebber this made me wonder, is anyone seeing hidden prompts on web pages attempting injection attacks? Summarizing content is apparently a popular use case, but the chances that the agent used has more permissions than it needs to do that are high.

@cwebber @aeva we've had "autonomous" software like this for decades, we call them viruses.

@selzero https://habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/habibi-funk-007-an-eclectic-selection-of-music-from-the-arab-world and all of habbi funk's other releases too.

@cwebber that piano really fits go unreasonably hard given the setting.

Reminds me of when I worked at a dollar tree that had a Muzac system, after hours when we were cleaning up the manager would flip it to an alternative rock channel that was actually really good, but DT corporate wouldn't let the managers play it while the store was open.

@georgetakei stand with ICE? Yea sure against the wall over there.
