  • It was a joke that you seemed to take very seriously. The pun of the joke was that since Sweden and Finland have been rivals for centuries, ranging from wars, to sports, it would be rather awkward for a Swedish person to live in Finland. I know that this is not true, I’m fully aware that both countries have thousands of people living in the other country and that generally speaking, this is not an issue. This was again, a silly joke that did not reflect any truth. I hope you have a terrific Friday!


  • The reason is money, not creativity. If the money spent on tokens doesn’t yield a profit, nobody would be releasing 5 games a week.

    Edit: didn’t realize that it had already been mentioned. I’ll change to something else to avoid parroting;

    You should give it a try and see find out yourself. The issue is not that people vibecode their own games, who cares. Let them enjoy themselves. I believe that the fun part is watching your game come alive and tweaking it to your preference. The issue is rather that a lot of people choose to publish them, which I suspect is because of the potential profit it may have. My question is why aren’t there a website where people can share, or even sell their vibecoded games for those interested? That would benefit all since sharing assets, prompts, MCP, and what not, would lower cost of spent tokens.

    Edit 2: A quick search answered my question. Apparently there are multiple websites dedicated to serve this purpose already.









  • I doomscroll Lemmy /and/or my most recent find which I found to be an excellent source for AI/LMM related news that’s actually interesting, hackernews. I also keep a radio plugged in next to my bed, with one of the public service radio channel tuned in 24/7. During the night they usually do reruns of various educational shows that aired during the day, no music, no advertisements, just dull, calm voices speaking about some mildly interesting topics, like gardening tips for example. I lower the volume a bit so I have to really focus if I want to actually listen, otherwise it’s just comfortable noise. It helps a bit with my usual overthinking that usually hits whenever I go to bed.

    I’ve also dabbed my toes in some ASMR and podcasts, and while I found a couple that sort of worked. The tradeoff is that I have to use my phone speakers to listen to anything streamable, which includes me rolling and tossing during the night, and my phone either ends up under me, or has been tossed around so much that I can’t find it by the next morning. Often with a drained battery too, which is just an annoying way to start your day.






  • Why should OpenAI be held responsible for this particular incident? Because their LLM recommended the user to contact a suicide hotline when he expressed his suicidal thoughts? Because it correctly answered his questions and confirmed that the safety of his shotgun was off? Don’t get me wrong, I like having companies held accountable as much as the next guy, but why don’t you ask the gun production companies to be held responsible as well? Hell, we might as well be asking for his parents to be held accountable for their offspring’s actions.

    Yes, LLM’s can, with or without external manipulation, provide information about sensitive subjects, which can then be consumed by vulnerable individuals who may act in a harmful way. That individual would have acted and reached the same outcome not matter if the LLM would have existed or not, because there are multiple options to using an LMM to gather information.

    What are the realistic expectations of OpenAI to implement to prevent these things, that doesn’t automatically mean stricter restrictions to the user data privacy and further strengthen the control of citizens (thanks to the flourishing relationship between OpenAI and the American government)?

    Plus, you know, being the absolute worst (or best, depending on how you see it) at storing every single piece of data about their users. And ruining YouTube completely, just so they’re able to harvest more data from their users. And… You know, making their money on selling that data to ad companies and shoveling ads on every site they’re able to, and offering their users to pay a fee to avoid said ads, which are used by the advertising company who bought the data about the specific user, which was harvested by Google.

    Oh, and turning Android into literal spyware, just to harvest even more data about everyone, so they can sell even more aggressively personal data about their users. And now trying to limit their Android userbase from being able to use apps without the literal spyware that they provide.

    So there’s that… But yeah, they do have great marketing, funding a lot of side projects, and donate to charities enough so that their userbase remain gullible enough to think that they “are the best of the worst”. Which isn’t really a hard job given the competition with the current American tech market ghouls at the top, who use other strategies to gain attraction.

    Yeah, that might very well be the case. I don’t follow anyone online, which might explain my lack of insight of the different online art communities. Not because I don’t think there’s great art available online, I’m sure I’d find a lot that I liked if I used Instagram, for example. But because I don’t really look for it. The only content I see online is pretty much posted on spaces like Lemmy (or Reddit in the past), like Comic Strips for example. Those spaces typically involves either digital anime drawings, realistic IRL paintings/drawings, or digital comics which often are easy on the eye with the point usually resolving around making a social comment on what ever topic people are upset with that week, neither of which speaks to my preferences. I appreciate the added context!

    Thank you! That’s a fair point that helps broadening my understanding of the affected areas for me. I see the issue, but I think it’s more of another example of capitalism stepping in and slimming down the cost/time for optimal profit and thus lowering the quality of the product. I have mostly seen people complain about digital artists, comic artists more precisely (which I a bit foolishly assumed automatically meant “digital comic artists” by default) being replaced or ruined because some kid is using a image generator online. I believe that because of the hate for AI, the online artists (again, my mind went straight to comic artists) in contrary have seen an increase in their fanbase and supporters.

    My reaction was to the parroting online trend that has been gaining a lot more attention lately because of the current political environment, which basically seems to be resolving around updoots if you say that AI=bad.


  • I can see where you’re coming from. At this point I’m not interested in engaging with content that has a negative impact on my mental health, even if I support those views. There’s some extent of irony in this behavior, but I’m just tired of being constantly bombarded with reminders of our sad world. I don’t use typical social media, and every once in a while when I catch a whiff of a friend’s Tiktok or Instagram feed, I’m completely blown away by how much content there is designed to trigger a negative, or often an angry reaction. This was a big reason for me to leave Reddit and I’m trying to avoid this as much as possible on Lemmy.

    I’m still very new here and still trying to figure this whole fediverse thing out, I’ve only been here for about a month, give or take. Like some other user suggested were common for newbies to Lemmy, I chose the most active instance without really thinking about it, and always scroll through /All. During my short experience here, I have blocked so, so many communities and instances already. Blahaj is one of them, not because I disagree with the importance or need to stand up for LGTQ+ rights, but because I feel that the general content posted there is naturally based on a politically driven agenda, which again is all fine, but I browse this shit before bed to escape my already constant anxiety, and I’m here for memes and a good time. I’m not interested in content that is either dystopian doomerism, American circus politics, war reports, or what ever depressing reminders of our current speedrun to degrade human life, in basically all categories.

    I get that people are actively frustrated, angry, in need to vent, or in need of other’s to help them feel less alone, that they’re not the only ones who think the world is losing their minds. This space is perfect for people to discuss those things, to find likeminded people and even challenge their believes from other’s opinions. But that’s not what I’m looking for. I could just make it easy for myself and sub to the lighthearted communities that fits to my need and just scroll through that instead, but I enjoy the random posts from communities I wouldn’t find unless I was scrolling through /All, like this post for example.

    Instead, I just block everything that has a negative reaction that makes me chose to engage in that content from my side. Like another news article about Musk posting something dumb on Twitter once again, for example. If I read the title and want to click the post to read more, I stop to ask myself if feel that if the reason to want to read more stems from anger or frustration, if it does I try to move on. Not because I feel that the topic shouldn’t be discussed or that it shouldn’t have an angry reaction, but because it’s fucking everywhere already and I’m not trying to feed my depression further. Call it an ostrich behaviour, but it makes my experience a little better.
