What I learned by feeding nine years of my own chat messages into an AI

I'm not a huge fan of LLMs as a whole, but I discovered that Discord allows you to export all of your messages as a collection of json files. I was already working on a bot to help manage my day and monitor my digital storefront traffic.

So I looked into what it takes to cobble an LLM onto my existing project, mostly out of morbid curiosity, and it turned out that I could easily import GPT4All into Node.js without a hitch, so I...

Once more, into the dark, I shout: Bella Ciao.

I don't like or support Maduro, but klepping a sitting president of a sovereign country is real bad optics, and while the Venezuelans might be happy to be rid of him, they won't be happy when we roll in and start pumping all of their oil out from under them. This feels like the start of another Vietnam war or Desert Storm.

One morning I awakened,
oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao!...

While I am not the type to often fall to solipistic or existential depression, I would like to thank whatever entity is simulating my existence in this highly improbable universe for another holiday with my family. It's been a real hard year, and I'm not.. okay.. okay.. but I feel the hard shell I've been crafting over my skin begin to loosen as I watch two people who are still very in love after 35 years together, and watch my Dad-- who had brain surgery this year-- doing okay.

Things aren't great,...

Under the neon glow of the oppressive white LEDs wrapped around corpo plasti-pressed branches, pine leaves that will never decompose, I sat in the darkness. My screens flickered across my retinas - showing the nightmare of the news of the day. My eyes drifted to the scant presents beneath the tree, seeking hope that the displays could not provide. I released a sigh and slumped into the pleather couch, wishing I dared to have smuggled my inhaler full of the only substance that eases my ongoing anxiety about...

I saw a pretty cool post on /r/cyberpunk today, sharing an intentionally created cyber community for human made only art sharing - https://www.newbohemia.art/ .

Seems pretty solid, I'd probably post some of my 3d modeling work there if I wasn't resisting spreading myself out further.

Hear me out..

Albania has a bot as a state minister, corpo ceos have bought their way into the white house, we have people confessing sins to an AI, and an emerging mental health crisis where people are believing a bot can help them create the singularity or learn to teleport, etc.

..And that's just the surface stuff.

When I...

Cyberspace, please suggest me some things to do over the next week I'm trapped away from my beefy gaming PC, on a word processor power level laptop, visiting my parents (who are elderly and don't do much). If you have any suggestions for cool web games, weird websites, etc, please share them.

I found a really cool and weird horror game on Reddit the other day, IT Never Ends.

It's pretty cool, and I had fun playing it.

Today I programmed my assistant bot to play tic tac toe. I should be adding features I need like notification, alarms, actual assistant features.. but my ADHD addled brain went "No, I need easier access to distractions."

Just sent my article 'What I learned by feeding nine years of my own chat messages into an AI' to 2600. I'm glad I can be done messing around with this concept, onto the next project!
