Found in one of my old books at my parents' house, I was 12 probably (1992/93)

BASIC listings I typed from books and magazines, might have been "Spelen met graphics en fractals" by Hans Lauwerier

Getting nervous for the talk I'm about to give at a workshop about "using AI to drive impact" which features slides such as these.

Slide is titled: You don't need to use LLMs.

Science is a process of collaborative meaning making, by which we try to understand the world

Even if AI were perfect, we rely on it at our peril — it is not science if we (i.e., humanity as a whole) do not understand and cannot recapitulate all parts of it

I very, very rarely use LLMs myself. You can give yourself permission not to. Don’t FOMO yourself into it

Conclusion: Don't rely on something you don't understand and can't control

If you must use LLMS:

1. Treat them like you would an intern: only use them for things you can easily and thoroughly check

2. Make your process as robust as possible

3. Be aware of your own (human) cognitive biases

dotted expressions

#generative #genartclub

it's a 9 by 16 grid of stippled cartoon faces with random facial expressions, that were generated with computer code. the other three images are more grids of random facial expressions

I believe in you qwen0.6b!! I dunno when it's GPT running in a massive data center it's annoying but when it's my own GPU locally it's kind of adorable

VibeSort -- we're going to need a bigger O-notation

// VibeSort
let arr = [51,46,72,32,14,27,88,32];

arr.sort((a,b)=>{
let response = LLM.query(`Which number is larger, number A:${a} or number B:${b}. Answer using "A" or "B" only, if they are equal, say "C".`);
if(response.includes('C')) return 0;
if(response.includes('B')) return -1;
if(response.includes('A')) return 1;
return 0;
});

console.table(arr);

all the buttons etc are working!! (no sound yet cause it doesn't sound quite right, need to debug that)

(btw keep sound off it'll sound terrible I'm pretty sure as BSky normalizes audio on videos ... you just hear my bg music playing + loads of noise)

it looks like if you like gave a bunch of math formulas to the computer and told it to figure out the shapes it makes while secretly being happy you don't have to figure that out yourself (in black and white line art hatching style)

after a good day of soldering, I've finished doing all 28 connections .. oh well, I guess it was relaxing or something and the good news is that it seems like I got everything wired correctly because the display is working flawlessly!!! whoohoo! #genartclub

single panel cartoon of a little girl riding on a small bike with training wheels, next to her dad riding on a regular bike, slightly in front of her. the training wheels on the little girl's bike are labeled "AI".

the girl says: "no you don't get it, they're just a tool that make me better at this, you should try them too or you will get left behind!!"

>>> what is the weirdest thing you know?

As a large language model, I don't have personal experiences or the capacity to "know" things in the way a human does. Therefore, I can't "know" anything.

>>> Then how can you be sure?

To be sure, I need to know what you mean by "sure" in the context of the question.

>>> But you can't know anything

You are absolutely right. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I am a language model, and my knowledge is based on the data I was trained on. I don't have the ability to know anything in the way a human does.

bunch of people asked me to set this to music, bunch of others asked me for the code, so I asked Suno AI to recite my WebGL shader setup code, and it's even almost kinda sorta in sync (it was hard, with the frame rate and video recording, and external mp3 player) #glsl #shaders #webgl2hop
