@fiore oh ok

@fiore I didn't know you were actually doing that. I was making a joke

@fiore new operating system called fioreware & it's descended from Inferno & has Wayland

@0xabad1dea Maybe their new LLM forgot to remove the code before shipping a new production version.

@GossiTheDog I'm a little disappointed that no tomatos were thrown, but I guess food is too expensive to do that with now.

@futurebird I'm going to use the popcorn button on whoever did this awful shit. I hope they're prepared for the fire alarm to go off in the middle of the night.

@futurebird Is this a shitpost or something you actually saw? I really hope this is a joke.

@fiore WHAT

@fiore @coolbean evil file created per user that only that user can access & the user types their new password in & an evil daily cronjob running as root sets the new password to that & then clears the contents of the file.

Don't do this because it's evil.

@GOKUSHRM @swelljoe Linux is just a kernel. That's why so many different operating systems use it. You're welcome to make your own complete operating system using Linux.

@petergleick Gasoline prices will not go down once they go up. Oil companies are finding out how much they can get away with once everyone's standards have been lowered, just like every other time the price has gone up.

@Coffee @ide @sharkNserg The words don't matter, just that you say them. The words will be interpreted as the listener wishes. They will do a basic scan over the words to see which ones you use & guess what you might mean from that. Apparently "nice weather today" means "let's be friends" & "so we can infer from this that there must be some imaginary number i which must be equal to the square root of negative one" means "I am extremely dangerous & going to hurt you, now you must make a threat display of your own to scare me away[1]".

[1] Hyperbole.

@sharkNserg meow > "nice weather today"

@MuhammadFreeSoftware @GossiTheDog Why not just use the built in emote search available on literally every operating system? It's even faster & it costs much less.

@sarahroth @nixCraft I'm not here to debate you. Go sealion somewhere else.

@sarahroth @nixCraft There are a ton of variants of this joke all making fun of one idiot that actually did something like this. You're being negative just to be negative.

@nixCraft I think it's a joke. I've seen multiple like this.

@wafflesies @Paradox @linear I haven't heard of it.

@wafflesies @Paradox @linear It can absolutely move backwards. I don't think Greek fire has been figured out again yet, & no one has synthesized sylphium either. Also random image generators are easily defeated by turning the screen off, so I don't think I have to worry about distinguishing reality from noise. It's not like I'm stuck in The Matrix.

@wafflesies @Paradox @linear It's depressing, but naturally occurring neural network architectures are capable of self improvement & can also train much more efficiently than artificial architectures. I will always be more adaptable than a LLM or image generator. I now have a sample size of five for this "generation" of random image generators & I'm already ahead of them. I probably will not fall for this more than two or three more times, assuming each time after this only has one image.

This has been a cat & mouse game for a few years now, but unlike what techbros think, I am the cat & they are the mouse. They are the ones who must keep finding new ways to trick me, it's not me that has to keep finding out how to evade their tricks.
