    Holy moly… such a… so so so poor creature…
    I just… want to so carefully hug it so much…
    It’s so heartbreaking to see… no words…

    Please… please… if reincarnation ever exists… I so hope you will appear a healthy, beautiful, and magnificent one… in the future…
    Please do stay safe… dear wonderful creature… you do good already, and you will manage it!




  • “Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything” nowadays, a.k.a. vibe-living, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square to prevent contagion, and then A.I. should resurrect you virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity…

    Criticizing A.I. as a criminal plagiarizing machine that steals the work of artists without permission or compensation used to strike me as a bit hyperbolic…

    The point is, I’m not saying all this to defend humanity. Humanity sucks. It’s totally terrible. I’m saying this because I believe in an old-fashioned virtue called Doing the Freakin’ Work.

    Read the book, not the summary.
    Write the piece, not the prompt.

    Suffer like the artist you are. It ain’t easy, but if it were easy, it wouldn’t be worth doing.

    Sorry, but… “AI” in art? And creativity, or even technical responsible fields like programming?
    And isn’t programming for human to control machinery, too?
    I do still recall the book that featured Lisp, from MIT University we read:

    Our goal is that students who complete this subject should have a good feel for the elements of style and the aesthetics of programming.

    They should have command of the major techniques for controlling complexity in a large system.
    They should be capable of reading a 50- page-long program, if it is written in an exemplary style.
    They should know what not to read, and what they need not understand at any moment.
    They should feel secure about modifying a program, retaining the spirit and style of the original author.

    These skills are by no means unique to computer programming. The techniques we teach and draw upon are common to all of engineering design. We control complexity by building abstractions that hide details when appropriate.
    We control complexity by establishing conventional interfaces that enable us to construct systems by combining standard, well-understood pieces in a “mix and match” way. We control complexity by establishing new languages for describing a design, each of which emphasizes particular aspects of the design and deemphasizes others.

    ~ Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) [ISBN: 0262510871]

    It does not allow you to actually organize your own mind, to discover yourself, memorize, and learn.
    Generative is empty. It’s noise. Do you like listen to and learn from noise? I don’t, and will never.

    Obviously, there’s no creativity in AI, and especially in art.

    AI makes no art, and there’s nothing to search for in it, also considering the amount of different people works and effort meatground into digital limited/sampled quantized data. It’s noise.

    There’s no place for a machine in it, otherwise it becomes limited, lacking, and lifeless.
    Art exists for people, us the humans to communicate with each other through time and narrow channels as general languages.

    > “There are always two people in every picture…” ~ Ansel Adams

    Source (AI struggles with true creativity compared to humans, study finds…)

    Effort helps to stay accountable, responsible, and to realize the significance and infinite marvel of art…
    Aren’t video-games art? Sure it is.
    Yet, isn’t art of human for human?

    “Inspired”? This?

    I am sorry, but I do not know what else to tell you at this point…
    Please do stay safe…

  • At this point, it’s not technological progress, by far. Considering your response, it’s the human degradation and atrophy even I see.
    There’s no dislike of “AI” (virtual intelligence, or LLM) but rather how it’s being used. And not to mention the praise of devaluation.

    I read two books, analyzed visualizations, and did a deep enough research to realize how common LLM operates. It’s a marvelous flow of algorithms and incredible logic, or a purely ingenious work of art.
    Did you? Or did you just pay a vendor effortlessly to get access to the vendor’s datasets they robbed and processed from actual art?

    You do you, yet please don’t call out your empty mind, lack of tokens, and dependency on your mighty vendor(s) in the end.

  • Apologies, but here some should consider it serious when a headline is read “I build a thing.”

    At this moment, everything tells it was not you who built it but an LLM you used, and it seems like it was Claude based on both your website and the game design, UX/styles of which look as almost everything Claude models do, as a copycat.

    There’s no source code even stated/found. And what about the license of LLM-generated game? Who owns it? You, Anthropic, or some unknown people, invaluably marvelous ideas and effort of who Anthropic processed and anonymized permanently in their model datasets?

    Therefore, may I ask why do you call it as “you” did, and why shouldn’t it be called “slop” based on uncountable ideas of actual artists and developers?




  • Sincere apologies for the person condition…

    As you provided no actual points to consider important to invest much time into the answer, let’s make it quick, too.

    It’s not illegal to be a hacker. It’s illegal to implement and/or execute illegal actions via hacking, and it depends on the region in question. There are two common ways to distinguish hacker’s scopes of actions: 1) team colors; 2) hat colors.

    The concept of red teaming and blue teaming emerged in the early 1960s.
    Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_team#History

    -–

    A white hat hacker breaks security for non-malicious reasons…
    A black hat hacker is a hacker who “violates computer security for little reason beyond maliciousness or for personal gain”…
    A grey hat hacker lies between a black hat and a white hat hacker, hacking for ideological reasons…
    Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_hacker#Classifications

    It’s impossible to “quickly” learn to be a hacker. The security subjects shift each fraction of a second, and you have to train your intuition layering it on the experience you gain from theories and practice.

    Some of known ways to get in-depth are:

    - 1. Public Capture-the-Flag (CTF) events as you may find at: https://defcon.org/html/links/dc-ctf.html;
    - 2. Bounties, like: https://www.hackerone.com/bug-bounty-programs;
    - 3. Serious contribution to open-source projects (e.g., KDE, Mozilla, programming language compilers as C++, Rust);
    - 4. Contributions to dirvers/middlewares, and databases as: https://www.aircrack-ng.org/;
    - 5. Contributions to exploits databases as: https://www.metasploit.com/contribute, https://www.exploit-db.com/;
    - 6. Contributions to CVEs as: https://www.cve.org/ReportRequest/ReportRequestForNonCNAs;
    - N. …

    In other words, you just find your love in the security subjects you consider closer to the heart, and go in deeper…
    Then, you just use the tools you want to achieve the requirements:

    # Let's just use the lovely Bash v5+ to get our IP addresses (no cURL etc.).
    exec 3<>'/dev/tcp/ipinfo.io/80';
    printf 'GET /ip HTTP/1.0\r\nHost:ipinfo.io\r\n\r\n' >&3;
    while read -r l || (( ${#l} )); do
        [[ $l =~ ^([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}$ ]] && printf '%s\n' "$l";
    done <&3;
    

    There are relatively not serious but still options as: https://tryhackme.com/
    Yet, please do consider that actual hackers do never expose their actual identities. Since, your identity is a single and permanent key to your life and your family…
    Once you’re in, and you become responsible for your actions, you become a loner, and not a single soul will ever support you in the very end…

    The quieter you are, the more you are able to hear.
    ~ BackTrack Linux (by Offensive Security)



  • It’s so sorrowful indeed… Thank you…

    You should check out the Slack of GitKraken Desktop client, where Users complain about the time and effort developers invest into “AI” just a few sorrowful people use, instead of actually developing a tool for a human…
    Not only that, they pay more for the “Pro” subscription that includes “AI” they don’t even use, and the subscription price increases each each year, where almost only “AI” changes exist… yet for those who don’t even use it.

    Disgusting… and such a sexism-full sorrowfulness…

    You casually scroll through some wonderful Lego projects of people… and get hit with a yet another reminder of how casually women are disrespected. It’s exhausting to see this nonsense even here…

    I mean… yes, it’s the Internet… yet it is so incredibly disheartening to accidentally encounter this, as if the women are objectified and here, too.
    The Lego community used to feel like a safe, wholesome escape… a place defined by pure creativity and mutual respect. But lately… it’s just deeply sad how much worse things have gotten…

    I’m not kidding when I said that Firefox is a niche browser. Folk have to actively look to use it. They have to search it out, figure out how to download it, ignore all the warnings and “suggestions” that they should keep using whatever the native browser is, avoid all the ads for Chrome as the better replacement browser, ignore all the sites saying “Your browser is out of date” because they couldn’t be arsed to test things in Firefox, etc. Firefox users are not normal. They are deeply abnormal, and frankly a lot of them are proud of that.

    The problem is that Leadership doesn’t know how to deal with that.
