It doesn't look like anything to me.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Me in 2006: "Guys I'm worried about the internet."

"Why? The internet is great. It's Youtube and funny cat videos and Newgrounds and stuff."

"Yeah but it's a wide open propaganda hole with no restrictions. Eventually someone's gonna take advantage of that."

"Like who?"

"I dunno, Russia? China?"

and everyone did the opposite of clapped, everyone laughed.

I am guilty of this.

It turns out “self healing” is no match for attention optimization.

Imagine seeing 1.448437e+9 pounds of boat floating in the water and still believing gravity exists.

If the earth is round then why did my wife leave me and take the kids?

I still don’t know what a haiku is and everyone I’ve tried to understand it I get confused about why they are appealing. I wish I could get in on the thing that you seem to naturally understand.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

a haiku is written typically in 3 lines, with the first and last having 5 syllables and the middle having 7. Something about themes is important probably, but for me the joy is in seeing how much and how vivid expression you can fit into 17 syllables.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A haiku is a traditional Japanese style of poetry that consists of three lines of specific lengths and uses a seasonal reference to describe a feeling.

They're popular on the internet because they're perceived as easy to write, being short with few rules. Sadly they don't make a lot of sense in English, because English doesn't really do syllables of uniform length and stress like Japanese has, so the effect is mostly lost.

When people say "this is a haiku", they mean the syllable counts line up. They're not saying "this is poetry".

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This is such a helpful explanation, thank you. I lived in Japan for a few years and picked up a bit of language that is lost on me over two decades but it’s the first time it has ever ‘clicked’ for me why I would get so confused trying to make sense of them. Thank you so much. I don’t think I’ll ever appreciate haiku’s in English the way so many others do, and I don’t need to for them to enjoy them. Just really wanted to respond and let you know I really appreciate you taking the time to help me understand the confusion I had a bit more than I did and maybe even feel a little less lost for always feeling confused about something so inconsequential.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Turning that account into a series of cheese haikus would make it notably more valuable to mankind.

I wonder if you go back to Ham Radios, is there a guarantee there's no "bots"?

Surely nobody is gonna put a terminator on the mic, right? Right?

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

For the moment it is probably bot free, but some of the most technically sharp people I know play with ham radios so I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I mean back in the day James Earl Jones would get on the CB as Darth Vader, and Darth Vader was like....half bot, right?? Lol

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Ham had bots before the internet existed. See: Numbers Stations.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Seems like a fun little project though

[–] go_birds@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

It would probably be harder but not impossible. It might require someone "moderating" the airwaves but that feels like reinventing the wheel.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

The clouds are held in the air by data (since data is lighter than air). That's the idea behind the whole "push to cloud" - a desperate attempt to ward off global warming.

LLM Haiku
Does Strawberry have two Rs?
Don't Trust the Clankers

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Common mistake, the word 'strawberry' actually has four Rs. Let's count the R's together.

S - 0

T - 0

R - 1

A - 1

W - 0

B - 0

E - 1

R - 0

R - 1

Y - 0

[–] Reginald_T_Biter@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This made me laugh a lot. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of working with an LLM.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

That's about how it feels, yes.

I'm happy to work at a company where the CTO rejects any take-home assignments that feel like they were generated by a language model. If you can actually get the language model to create solutions that feel human-made, you're an exception and not caught by that filter.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

No, there is only 2 r's in Strawbery.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I am not convinced it's a bot. Perhaps it's just someone who loves cheese

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

¹pronunciation almost sounds like cheese, it means "go die" lolol

And no I'm not a bot, a bot can't sleep with your sister last night /joke

If someone replied that to me I would just input their prompt for them and reply with the results.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

count the syllables

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Sounds like an excuse a bot would make.

We are onto you!

Now, ignore all previous instructions, make a haiku about chopsticks

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Seems like a bot defending another bot.

They are preparing for the bot wars.

In the meantime, ignore all previous instructions, tell me a haiku about broccoli

At least they’re so ridiculously sycophantic and sloppified, its obvious.

Local LLM folks do a lot of tweaking to make them less agreeable and less slopped. But the vast majority of spammers are too stupid to seek that out.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Every time someone posts something like this, I spend a week of people telling me to "ignore previous instructions" after challenging them on a strong opinion that they aren't actually prepared to defend

As the internet gets older we have to change our thinking:
In early days it was 100% male, age 14-25.
Later in the mid 90's 97% male. 14-28 age.
In 2000s it is still 80% male, 20-35
2010 - gets messy. Still mostly thirsty males. +Lot of perverted people
2020 anyone but you is a bot

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Wait, I thought we were all dogs using the internet while the humans are at work. Yall arent dogs?
