the golden age of hobbyiest projects?
Another hackernews articles sparked the opposite of joy in me: I'm stoked for the golden era of side-projects! Love that attitude. Me too! There were also comparisons with floor796.com and I find that depressing. And that is very judgemental of me. Sure. BUT, everything in me screams "ALL YOU CREATED IS A PERVERSION OF AN IDEA!" The main culprit are these kinds of comments: A few AI anomalies,…
Everything is fleeting
Hey, its another "ai bad" post. Good thing no one ever reads my thoughts, which also means probably no crawler ever comes here. That is somewhat comforting. Or not, yelling into the void is my speciality by now. To the topic, recently I have started to read webnovels, mostly the translated kind from Chinese, Korean or Japanese sources. They are weird in their own way and I like that. Recently I…
too many trends, thoughts about TUIs
The other day on ycombinator I found out that TUIs, Text User Interfaces, are back in style. I am greatly surprised by that to be honest. But apparently that is a thing. The article in question I read was this . I actually read another blog article before that made me actually more thinking, I have myself written some TUIs, some even public and I actually haven't thought much about the…
The hardware of the end times
I watched to much media in general and probably have actually read too much other things aswell. In a sense that I sometimes confuse fiction with reality about things I am not that knowledgeable about. In German we have the nice coined compound word/proverb “gefährliches Halbwissen” --- “dangerous half-knowledge”. Knowing enough to be dangerous. That said, recently my thoughts circle around the…
The fear to contribute
Hello Void, its me again. I still write this all in the assumption that no one will ever read it. So dear Void, here are some of my fears. Actually, writing this blog into the void is already contributing to the problem I am having. We are apparently now in the age of the near dead Internet. Its not really dead now, but every day countless LLMs crawl and fill the web as we knew it with more and…
Gatekeeper of the Internet
I guess I am becoming a full-time AI hater at this point. This time it isn't actually about AI itself, or rather very intelligent dogs that got a few nice tricks up their sleeves but rather about the fallout that comes with it. Main subject here is of course Cloudflare, you know it, you heard about. There are tons of articles that already talk about, go in-depth for specific aspects and are…
AI slop everywhere
I guess I might be an AI Ludditte and I am still pondering deeply what I want to say in my next job interview when the question about my stance about AI comes up. For now its a big feeling of distress. Just today the swedish music site I abuse was presenting me another Band called Feuerhammer which is swedish, new and released already five albums or so. It did sound a lot less AI than the rest of…
the lack of a formal education
Upon occasion it might happen that I program something. Its mostly Python because this is the only thing I really know apart from some very early C/C++ days when I was around 15. But that doesn't matter, its still programming. I define a problem and then there is code that makes that problem go away or at least makes handling it easier. Most of the time its just simple scripts that raise data from…
