The Neato Core is coming along nicely, and is almost ready for broader testing. It runs from the command line, parsing PHP in source files (even in Markdown!). I’ve been benchmarking it against the same set of 4,000 Markdown files that Zach used for https://www.zachleat.com/web/build-benchmark/ and I’m really happy with the results so far. With PHP parsing enabled and the Parsedown and Atom Power-Ups active, it takes less than one second to generate the full site.

my wife said something about Epstein that is completely correct:

it isn't that he's the epicentre of everything bad in the world. it's that he's the only rich fucker's texts we're being allowed to read.

all of the world's billionaires are, evidently, in a death-rape-cult.

Hansen’s disease (leprosy) is treatable today in large part because of the work of Alice Ball, a 23-year-old chemist whose breakthrough turned a toxic folk remedy into the world’s first effective treatment.

Her science saved lives — but her legacy was nearly erased.

For those of you who have trouble accepting or asking for help: I recently needed help, asked for it, and received. I literally had no idea the level of kindness and generosity that was available to me. I have been (recently) overwhelmed by the amazing kindness that other people are willing to give.

Even if you are tough, independent, and strong. Sometimes we need help, and that is ok. As long as you show genuine gratitude (which I find very easy to do), it will all be ok.

Allow someone to be the hero of your story once in a while. It turns out that it's ok. ♥️

‘March for Billionaires’ planned in San Francisco. Is it satire?

New group is advertising a "March for Billionaires" in San Francisco. Their language closely mirrors real tech executives’ rhetoric.

you know what, fuck it, im choosing violence today. notbyai.fyi is an ai industry op and i can fucking prove it.

tl;dr: it's actually pretty pro-ai, it's made by an ai bro, and it's directly enriching ai companies by giving them your data

the analytics and tracking cookies from known major ai companies: bing (microsoft), youtube (google), clarity (microsoft). these cookies last anywhere from 6 months to over a year

the "chart" directly under their mission statement specifically calls out the problem of training ai on ai-generated images

the first paragraph in their mission statement begins by mentioning "help audiences identify human-generated content" and then ends with some real tescreal shit about the advancement of humanity

The Not By AI® badges are created to encourage more humans to produce original content and help audiences identify human-generated content. The ultimate goal is to make sure humanity continues to advance.

this quote from further down their mission statement makes it clear that the site is definitely pro-AI, and has yet more tescreal pro-ai-but-what-if-it-replaces-us shit

It is worth mentioning that AI technologies mark a major milestone in the history of technology and the Not By AI badge is not designed to discourage the use of AI. Instead, it is to make sure that, while we celebrate the achievement, we work with AI instead of being replaced by AI.

and the 90% rule, which explicitly allows ai. for-profit is only allowed if you pay them. you have to pay an ai bro money to declare that your for-profit work is at least 90% ai free. dystopian.

if you estimate that at least 90% of your content is created by humans, you are eligible to add the badges into your website, blog, art, film, essay, books, podcast, or whatever your project is for non-commercial use, and, with a subscription, commercial use.

and continues into explicitly allowing AI even more, and their first example is for legal documents

The 90% can include using AI for inspiration purposes, supporting legal documents such as privacy policies (assuming that legal content is not the main focus of your content or service), non-user-facing content such as SEO tags, and grammatical error and typo checks.

their about page (https://notbyai.fyi/about) has a quote from billionaire warren buffet which is just weirdo shit (warren buffet cares deeply about eugenicist things like poor countries having too many people)

but here's the fucking kicker. the "founder", allen hsu (https://notbyai.fyi/about), is the ux design lead at modo modo (https://modomodoagency.com/leadership), which is an ai design company (https://modomodoagency.com/about)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is cool and we embrace it. But when it comes to solving complex business problems, we don’t just press a few keys to generate answers with ChatGPT. We research, interview, brainstorm, and go through a human-centric process to come up with content and solutions that are tailored to your unique business need.

there you go. its made by an ai bro. its full of tescreal shit. its literally not even anti-ai, and its letting ai companies track you. this is ai shit.

Pardon the dust on the old blog but I finally posted something which started as a post here but 500 words wasn't going to cut it.

I had thoughts on a solo journaling game called ION Heart where I had a different idea of what it was to what it actually is.

Y'all ever think about the fact that sleeping costs money, and if you're ever caught sleeping without having paid for it, you're in some weird and vague trouble with the law?

You're either sleeping at home (rent), a hotel (rent per day) or a friends/family's house (gifted rent).

You can sleep in a car if it's moving (gas expense) or at a camp site if it's parked (rent, again). But not if it's parked at a park (taxes).

@fromjason "I've never once been 100% certain that I used a semi-colon correctly; I've been 95% sure." would have been an amazing place to use a semi-colon.

fromjason ("fromjason.xyz ❤️ 💻") wrote:

Here's the other thing—semi-colons are making a come back, baby!

Millennials overused the aloof stylistic choice of no punctuation and all lowercase letters (grow up Sam Altman).

This new generation is going to punctuate so hard. They're gonna proper noun the fuck out of everything. We're gonna see carets and tildes & maybe some ampersands, too.

Nope. Scratch that. Millennials over used the ampersands with coffee shops and leather hat stores.

Oh look at that, even if you physically resist ICE snatching you and get away NOTHING happens because they don't actually have ANY legal authority to be doing this shit.

If you're a citizen going about your day, you don't have to answer ANY of ICE's questions. You can legally stay silent, if you do talk you can demand a lawyer, or that these shit heads quit their jobs.

You're an everyday hero in my book if you're brave like these gentlemen and don't comply.
