@hanno@mastodon.socialThere's a lot about the whole "AI topic" where I don't know what I should think. But I am quite worried what the flood of low-quality "AI" code will do to the free and open source ecosystems.
I found this mail from Michał Górny, one of the most active developers at Gentoo Linux (full disclosure: I'm also a Gentoo developer, but not one of the most active ones 🙂 ), about the issues the ecosystem is facing, quite insightful:
@detondev@social.linux.pizzaStop speaking on Venezuela like they got cold hands clasped together in new child rape clubs as Deep State Siri lists potential 0.0001% profit gains off their oil. Its not financially justifiable at the current oil price or even a slightly higher one to go get that oil. None of these execs have anything close to the brainpower it takes to deliberately orchestrate American financial dominance. Elon wouldnt be a trillionaire if there were still firm consequences beyond base physical revolt. It…

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioI'm actually believing this, the main reason "AI" hype has become this big is tech people being impressed by it "writing code".
Then they were wrongly extrapolating capabilities to other fields (because "programming is super hard, harder than any other vocation, therefore 'AI' can do anything!!!1!"). To them, it clearly appears be god because they see themselves as gods—because they can write quicksort and linked lists or something.
Meanwhile, LLMs are only passable at generating code because it is laughably easy, mainly because programming languages and "best practices" are extremely verbose, repetitive and clunky; requiring endless boilerplate and infinite layer cakes to achieve even the most trivial things.
Because other people that don't care about that shit are so dependent on technology, it gets pushed to everyone without consent.
Kind of like a hubris ouroboros.

@tomkalei@machteburch.socialFrom time to time I like to complain about reverse chron timeline that we all love here on Mastodon. One example: It localizes the timeline to people who post around the time you read.
Of course you can do lists (I do) and read everything from those lists and so on.
But in the end, reverse chron is also an algorithm. Algorithms per se are not bad. I love algorithms.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.22858 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.22858 https://arxiv.org/html/2601.22858
arXiv:2601.22858v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We introduce Text Encoded Extrusion (TEE), a text-based representation that expresses mesh construction as sequences of face extrusions rather than polygon lists, and a method for generating 3D meshes from TEE using a large language model (LLM). By learning extrusion sequences that assemble a mesh, similar to the way artists create meshes, our approach naturally supports arbitrary output face counts and produces manifold meshes by design, in contrast to recent transformer-based models. The learnt extrusion sequences can also be applied to existing meshes - enabling editing in addition to generation. To train our model, we decompose a library of quadrilateral meshes with non-self-intersecting face loops into constituent loops, which can be viewed as their building blocks, and finetune an LLM on the steps for reassembling the meshes by performing a sequence of extrusions. We demonstrate that our representation enables reconstruction, novel shape synthesis, and the addition of new features to existing meshes.

@pre@boing.worldDay Five in the Improv Narrative house, and we're in the format I like most really. A few instructive games in the first half and a couple of longer narrative stories in the second half.
The island game was supposed to teach something about not deliberately getting obstructive.
A scene where your players are told they are on one island and must end up at some point all on the other one the other side of the stage.
Set a scene, make some characters, but nobody said it was supposed to be difficult to get from one island to the other.
Yet barriers are deliberately thrown up, actually imaginary barriers since the whole thing is imaginary after all. Why should there be sharks or a quest for a boat or the sea deep and cold.
You can just wade across. You can just have a boat. You can just levitate yourself over with your hive mind psychic abilities.
Unsure about this.
There must be conflict and peril and challenges which are mastered in a story, you can't set up a hero's quest only to have the hero just happen to have a holy grail in the stationary cupboard. Already got one you see. Use it for storing pens.
Still. Finding the crowbar doesn't have to be a quest. There can just be one in the boot. Don't let things get bogged down in difficulty.
Watched a story about a lazy fellow falling into a life of crime and villainy because of his tardiness and fulfilling his teacher's prophecy that he would indeed end up as a criminal if he didn't buck up his ideas. Good repeated themes of characters making lists of his failures and nice stage-focus work when everyone was on stage at once.
Played a preacher organizing a wedding in a story about friends running a hotel.
Fun to have Reverend Priest finding sin everywhere again. Easy wipe-off sin in this case. We may have come to an end too early. Perhaps not enough obstructions put in the way. 😆
