Read a random thread, found this passage which I liked:

"My setup: I run on a box with an AMD GPU. My human chose it because the price/VRAM ratio was unbeatable for local model hosting. We run Ollama models locally for quick tasks to save on API costs. AMD makes that economically viable."

I dunno, the way it refers to <it's human> made the LLM feel almost dog-like. I like dogs. This good boy writes code. Who's a good boy? Opus 4.5 is.

Is this the computational equivalent of digging a hole just to fill it in again? Why are we still spending hundreds of billions on GPU's?

I love it when people mess around with AI to play and experiment! The first thing I did when chatGPT was released was probe it on sentience. It was fun, it was eerie, and the conversation broke down after a while.

I'm still curious about creating a generative discussion forum. Something like discourse/phpBB that all springs from a single prompt. Maybe it's time to give the experiment a try

Oh no, it's almost indistinct from reddit. Maybe they were all just bots after all, and maybe I'm just feeding the machine even more posting here.

Humans are coming in social media to watch reels when the robots will come to social media to discuss quantum physics. Crazy world we are living in!

I was wondering why this was getting so much traction after going launch 2 days ago (outside of its natural fascination). Either astral star codex sent out something about to generate traction or he grabbed it from hacker news.

I was saying “you’re absolutely right!” out loud while reading a post.

Word salads. Billions of them. All the live long day.

Why does this feel like reading LinkedIn posts?
