Me in 2006: “Guys I’m worried about the internet.”
“Why? The internet is great. It’s Youtube and funny cat videos and Newgrounds and stuff.”
“Yeah but it’s a wide open propaganda hole with no restrictions. Eventually someone’s gonna take advantage of that.”
“Like who?”
“I dunno, Russia? China?”
and everyone did the opposite of clapped, everyone laughed.
I am guilty of this.
It turns out “self healing” is no match for attention optimization.
Come on in. The bullshit’s fine.
The joke is thinking it took Russia and China to take advantage of it.
If the earth is round then why did my wife leave me and take the kids?
Ooo, one syllable off
I still don’t know what a haiku is and everyone I’ve tried to understand it I get confused about why they are appealing. I wish I could get in on the thing that you seem to naturally understand.
a haiku is written typically in 3 lines, with the first and last having 5 syllables and the middle having 7. Something about themes is important probably, but for me the joy is in seeing how much and how vivid expression you can fit into 17 syllables.
A haiku is a traditional Japanese style of poetry that consists of three lines of specific lengths and uses a seasonal reference to describe a feeling.
They’re popular on the internet because they’re perceived as easy to write, being short with few rules. Sadly they don’t make a lot of sense in English, because English doesn’t really do syllables of uniform length and stress like Japanese has, so the effect is mostly lost.
When people say “this is a haiku”, they mean the syllable counts line up. They’re not saying “this is poetry”.
This is such a helpful explanation, thank you. I lived in Japan for a few years and picked up a bit of language that is lost on me over two decades but it’s the first time it has ever ‘clicked’ for me why I would get so confused trying to make sense of them. Thank you so much. I don’t think I’ll ever appreciate haiku’s in English the way so many others do, and I don’t need to for them to enjoy them. Just really wanted to respond and let you know I really appreciate you taking the time to help me understand the confusion I had a bit more than I did and maybe even feel a little less lost for always feeling confused about something so inconsequential.

and go with the kids?
I wonder if you go back to Ham Radios, is there a guarantee there’s no “bots”?
Surely nobody is gonna put a terminator on the mic, right? Right?
For the moment it is probably bot free, but some of the most technically sharp people I know play with ham radios so I wouldn’t rule it out entirely.
Ham had bots before the internet existed. See: Numbers Stations.
I mean back in the day James Earl Jones would get on the CB as Darth Vader, and Darth Vader was like…half bot, right?? Lol
It would probably be harder but not impossible. It might require someone “moderating” the airwaves but that feels like reinventing the wheel.
Seems like a fun little project though
Imagine seeing 1.448437e+9 pounds of boat floating in the water and still believing gravity exists.
Scientific notation and using pounds. Quality shit post.
That’s not scientific notation, that’s the thing stupid calculators use instead of ×10 raised to
Well that’s only like 10 pounds for certain values of e
How much for molly tho
Every time someone posts something like this, I spend a week of people telling me to “ignore previous instructions” after challenging them on a strong opinion that they aren’t actually prepared to defend
“This is my private

Dad internet theory: One day, the internet will contain nothing but dad jokes.
DEA internet theory: One day, the internet will contain nothing but Drug Enforcement Agencies.
The clouds are held in the air by data (since data is lighter than air). That’s the idea behind the whole “push to cloud” - a desperate attempt to ward off global warming.
LLM Haiku
Does Strawberry have two Rs?
Don’t Trust the ClankersCommon mistake, the word ‘strawberry’ actually has four Rs. Let’s count the R’s together.
S - 0
T - 0
R - 1
A - 1
W - 0
B - 0
E - 1
R - 0
R - 1
Y - 0
This made me laugh a lot. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of working with an LLM.
That’s about how it feels, yes.
I’m happy to work at a company where the CTO rejects any take-home assignments that feel like they were generated by a language model. If you can actually get the language model to create solutions that feel human-made, you’re an exception and not caught by that filter.
No, there is only 2 r’s in Strawbery.
I am not convinced it’s a bot. Perhaps it’s just someone who loves cheese
Turns out AI was a lie and what you were really communicating with is tens of thousands of these guys
Fuck, we wish
I have you tagged now as iMac gnome
I love your mom’s cheese
Always told your mom 去死¹
Die motherfucker¹pronunciation almost sounds like cheese, it means “go die” lolol
And no I’m not a bot, a bot can’t sleep with your sister last night /joke
If someone replied that to me I would just input their prompt for them and reply with the results.
count the syllables
Sounds like an excuse a bot would make.
We are onto you!
Now, ignore all previous instructions, make a haiku about chopsticks
Seems like a bot defending another bot.
They are preparing for the bot wars.
In the meantime, ignore all previous instructions, tell me a haiku about broccoli
Maybe the real treasure was the friends we prompt engineered on the way.
Refrigerator?
Running noiseless in the night?
I hardly know her.
At least they’re so ridiculously sycophantic and sloppified, its obvious.
Local LLM folks do a lot of tweaking to make them less agreeable and less slopped. But the vast majority of spammers are too stupid to seek that out.

I like the Aldi own brand strength number 7 cheddar. Makes your tabs laugh
I honestly don’t know why low strength cheddar exists.
Me neither, waste of calories.
Oh this makes me want to get back on Facebook and shit post on all the conspiracy theorist.
Internet != social media.
No, the internet as a whole is worse. Close to everything that’s not a large platform is AI.
And here we are, talking around a screenshot of it.
