Simple things have to be simple to implement.

Maybe we should get back to the origin of the Internet, where it had a decentralized nature and everyone had their own cute website hosted on their personal PC?

Government, CEOs, CTOs, lawyers, directors, corporations and worried moms: can you just allow players to play great games? And game developers make great games? Am I asking for too much?

I am addicted to Twitter, and it’s doom scrolling; reading Twitter gives me a feeling of being powerless. There is so much that needs to be fixed in the world, and it is overwhelming.

Why is there a price difference between reading glasses and prescription glasses that are 100x? Reading glasses cost $1-$3, while prescription glasses cost around $200.

Digits in any font, monospace or non-monospace, have to be monospaced (0123456789 should have the same width) - fight me.

So, I think Elon Musk’s strategy to win in the lawsuit against Open AI is to allow jurors to play around with GPT-4 and give a verdict if it is AGI. And GPT-4 is quite impressive; you need to try a lot and really hard to find its weak spots. So jurors have a high chance of saying: Yes, it is AGI. And Open AI will need to open the technology based on the prior agreement. 🀷🏻

I have a question: why are we teaching AI to do fun things, like writing books, drawing pictures, and playing games? Why aren’t we teaching AI to do boring things, like folding laundry, washing dishes, and mopping the floor?

First, I do not remember my dreams; second, I don’t like to tell my dreams. But this one stuck in my head.

I am in the conference, and the conference is ended; so I am packing to leave my hotel room. And I realize that the backpack is missing. And I remembered that I left it in a different room, and the guy already checked out, so I went to the reception to ask them to open the door. I found my backpack and saw that the laptop was missing…

When I woke up and realized that, in real life, the laptop was not missing; therefore, I did not need to worry about it. So I went back to sleep without any worries.

LLMs usually have a parameter called temperature, which allows the model to randomly pick from broader sets of words. The usual simplified explanation is that it increases the “creativity” of the model. I am realizing that it is applied only to the last layer of the network; how technically challenging would it be to add some slight noise to the weights of the whole model?

Back in the day, I watched NerdΒ³ (read it as Nerd Cubed). It just occurred to me that he picked that name because he started with Minecraft let’s play videos, and Minecraft is made out of cubes. 🀯 Such a nerdy choice. πŸ™‚

Ugh… I have the code; I am pretty sure it will work in production, and I cannot figure out how to test it on the dev environment. I read so much documentation today.

Would it be interesting plot twist if the government meant Java under “save” language, not Rust.

While I was in the shower, I had an idea: it’s a search engine without a search bar; it’s going to work like the front page of YouTube, essentially a recommendation engine for the web.

I wonder if it already exists; I would use it.

I have a stupid tick; then I realize I am about to click on the wrong button, and instead of not doing it, I double-click on the button. 🀦🏻

There are two types of hard: (1) it is hard, and you like it; (2) you don’t like it (and it does not matter if it is hard or easy). And it is different for different people. Like fishing, some people like it, some people hate it. Or reading books. Or programming/coding. Find the first type of hard, I want you to enjoy your life.

Many influencers take multiple complicated topics and just pick a side. I think this is one of the reasons why they are becoming popular; it drives engagement. Personally, if I do not understand the problem fully, I tend not to discuss it. Ethics of AI training on human art scraped from the Internet, abortion, vegetarianism, religion(s). Or even might be established ones like piracy.

I feel like some of the topics become ‘obvious’ for everyone because they were beneficial for someone, and they were able somehow to drive insensitive about the topic. For example, piracy. It was okay decades ago when everybody was downloading MP3s from the internet and reading downloaded books. Now, people are ashamed even to admit this.

And I still don’t know by myself if piracy is purely evil. One of my games was pirated, and I think I have gained more benefits from it than losses.

I think in the future, AI training on human art scraped from the Internet will become ‘obviously’ acceptable. Many big companies are going to gain benefits from that AI, and they will drive the narrative to shape insensitive.

I wish I could record my life and look back on VODs, because sometimes I am quite sure I did a thing, but I don’t have proof.

I don’t remember what I did on Friday. What happened on Friday stays on Friday. Happy Monday.
