  I have a somewhat similar project. I don’t think “don’t use LLMs” is particularly helpful.

  My project is a never ending story with spinoffs that I never want to show anyone, but enjoy reading. At first, I used an LLM to make it with prompts of increasing complexity and results that we’re usually soulless and imperfect.

  The thing to understand is in my opinion, that you’re using an actual machine ghostwriter. The machine doesn’t share your thoughts and vision, which can be helpful but is often detrimental to quality.

  A few months ago, while writing a particularly complex chapter, it completely stopped being “good enough”, so I made the decision to write the stuff myself. But the problem: I am an awful author because I didn’t actually learn so much since I didn’t write it myself.

  Now, my current approach is to write it myself (with my progress being much slower but of much higher quality and with much better quality control).

  The machine ghostwriter is useful when it comes to brainstorming, proof reading and suggestions for rewording, I think. It has things in it’s context that I simply don’t know and that I don’t even know I don’t know, and it comes up with okay ideas and sometimes good rephrasing.

  Of course, just accepting ai suggestions would lower quality, but if you’re picky it could work well.

  Let me know what you think, also anti ai absolutists let me know what you think. Contrary to how this might sound, I’m not particularly fond of LLMs, but it’s helpful to get some feedback and ideas.

  Capitalism is different from a regular market in that it is not just trying to make a profit in order to have enough money to exchange for useful goods and services.

  Capitalism demands that your profit grows and grows and grows. It’s growth for it’s own sake. A capitalistic economy like our world economy needs to grow 3% or so every year or it gets into a recession. 3% doesn’t sound like much, but it’s exponential growth, doubling every 25 years or so. This growth doesn’t come out of thin air, but from extracting from value from other people, our world and so on.

  And measuring an economy by GDP is incomplete, because it doesn’t take uncompensated labor, human happiness and wellbeing, and public goods (like a healthy nature) into account. When a factory owner pollutes and dries up the river while employees have no choice but to work 16 hour weeks, GDP goes up.

  In nature, things grow until they are mature. That does not mean progress halts. Adults don’t grow anymore, but continue to learn.

  My try to explain why money and markets are okay, but growth for it’s own sake (growthism you may call it) is destroying our societies, making us unhappy, and is also killing us with the climate and biodiversity crises.

  I’m in infosec. At some point you have to stop questioning things to remain a functioning member of society. All the computers, huge or tiny component are technically attack surface.

  But the really scary shit is actually vehicles without a driver in them.

  They can just call it American Football like everyone already does.

  NAFL or whatever, if you really need an acronym. No one calls the Bundesliga BL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Community bindings do exist and are used over the official bindings already, and I think the source code obfuscation is just an annoyance by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be good though. Better the communities finds them and they can be patched than when only some black hats know them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the most overrated game gamers hype up?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disagree. Exploring the world of botw was fun, combat is fun, cooking is cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am learning Japanese since almost 3 years now. It’s a life’s goal of mine to be able to understand the language well.

  I sometimes watch anime, I really like music by Ado, and I come across Japanese often.

  I don’t really have a concrete reason for having started. A friend of mine learned Japanese in middle school seriously which gave me the idea the first time.

  It’s safe to say that it’s a tremendous effort. You need to work on it for many years, especially if you have phases where you can’t or don’t want to learn, or work full time, etc.

  If it’s just to watch anime, probably not worth it, unless you’re a total ween maybe. I’m my case, I started learning for the sake of it because it’s kind of fun and I found more interests in Japanese after starting to understand a few things.

  Ressource wise, I’d recommend taking a look at the tofu guide to learning Japanese, that covers it much better than I could.

  Some more resources that I use and really like:

  • Wanikani (for studying the thousands of Kanji and some vocabulary with SRS)
  • Bin pro (for studying grammar and how to actually use words with SRS)
  • the Genki Textbooks (very well guided lessons, especially for Grammar. This can also be used as a basis for bunpro)
  • TokiniAndk videos (Japanese teacher, has many videos going over genki too).

  You got to be in it for the long run to be able to see any success.
