I posted a video walkthrough of a side project I played with last year: an LLM-driven text adventure, Intra
The game is not complete by any means, but I haven't seen anything else that goes as far with using an LLM to drive a game while also using a grounded game state.
(Apologies if the video is long and rough, it was sitting around for months and I decided to just post it instead of making it better.)
I'm not working on it now, and may not for a long time given other priorities, but it's open source: https://github.com/ianb/intra-game

gptel-org-tools update.
Edit: there's some kind of issue with @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de which prevents the link from working (returns 404). The old (but up to date) repo is here: https://git.bajsicki.com/phil/gptel-org-tools
1. Cloned to https://codeberg.org/bajsicki/gptel-org-tools, and all future work will be happening on Codeberg.
2. Added gptel-org-tools-result-limit and a helper function for it. This sets a hard limit on the number of characters a tool can return. If it's over that, the LLM is prompted to be more specific in its query. Not applied to all tools, just the ones that are likely to blow up the context window.
3. Added docstrings for the functions called by the tools, so LLMs can look up their definitions.
4. Improved the precision of some tool descriptions so instructions are easier to follow.
5. Some minor improvements w/r/t function names and calls, logic, etc. Basic QA.
Now, as a user:
1. I'm finding it increasingly frustrating that Gemma 3 refuses to follow instructions. So here's a PSA: Gemma 3 doesn't respect the system prompt. It treats it just the same as any other user input.
2. Mistral 24B is a mixed bag. I'm not sure if it's my settings or something else, but it fairly consistently ends up looping; it'll call the same tool over and over again with the exact same arguments. This happens with other models as well, but not nearly as frequently.
3. Qwen 2.5 14B: pretty dang good, I'd say. The Cogito fine-tune is also surprisingly usable.
4. Prompting: I have found that a good, detailed system prompt tends to /somewhat/ improve results, especially if it contains clear directions on where to look for things related to specific topics. I'm still in the middle of writing one that's accurate to my Emacs set-up, but when I do finish it, it'll be in the repository as an example.
5. One issue that I still struggle with is that the LLMs don't take any time to process the user request. Often they'll find some relevant information in one file, and then decide that's enough and just refuse to look any further. Often devolving into traversing directories /as if/ they're looking for something... and they get stuck doing that without end.
It all boils down to the fact that LLMs aren't intelligent, so while I have a reasonable foundation for the data collection, the major focus is on creating guardrails, processes and inescapable sequences. These will (ideally) railroad LLMs into doing actual research and processing before they deliver a summary/ report based on the org-mode notes I have.

For the past several years, I've been arguing with AI advocates about the purpose of the technology they're enamored with. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm aware that there are use cases for so-called AI programs that aren't inherently evil, but when you take a look at the nazi billionaires who're behind the projects to force widespread adoption, their long term plans to establish city-state dictatorships out of the hollowed out core of the nation-state era, and what these guys ultimately do with it, it's pretty clear AI is a fascism machine; just as much as IBM's punch card computers were a genocide machine for the Nazis. It doesn't have to be this way, but this is the way it is.
As such, I can't say I'm shocked that after Elon Musk bought himself a president, the first thing he started doing is using AI purge his political enemies as well as their ideas, sort surveillance data to identify targets for a white nationalist regime, and now spy on federal workers in search of those with insufficient loyalty to God Emperor Trump, the regime, and Musk himself.
Exclusive: Musk's DOGE using AI to snoop on U.S. federal workers, sources say
"Reuters’ interviews with nearly 20 people with knowledge of DOGE’s operations – and an examination of hundreds of pages of court documents from lawsuits challenging DOGE's access to data – highlight its unorthodox usage of AI and other technology in federal government operations.
At the Environmental Protection Agency, for instance, some EPA managers were told by Trump appointees that Musk’s team is rolling out AI to monitor workers, including looking for language in communications considered hostile to Trump or Musk, the two people said.
The EPA, which enforces laws such as the Clean Air Act and works to protect the environment, has come under intense scrutiny by the Trump administration. Since January, it has put nearly 600 employees on leave and said it will eliminate 65% of its budget, which could require further staffing reductions.
Trump-appointed officials who had taken up EPA posts told managers that DOGE was using AI to monitor communication apps and software, including Microsoft Teams, which is widely used for virtual calls and chats, said the two sources familiar with these comments. “We have been told they are looking for anti-Trump or anti-Musk language,” a third source familiar with the EPA said. Reuters could not independently confirm if the AI was being implemented.
The Trump officials said DOGE would be looking for people whose work did not align with the administration's mission, the first two sources said. “Be careful what you say, what you type and what you do,” a manager said, according to one of the sources."
Naturally the regime and DOGE have denied that they're using AI to conduct "thought" policing inside the federal workforce, but I think given how readily the Trump administration has engaged in clear ideological warfare and suppression against its perceived political enemies, that denial sound a lot like a hollow lie. Speaking broadly however, I can't say I'm surprised at all that this is where a technology like AI and the billionaire nazis who're pushing it, have lead us as a society. There are a near infinite number of things "AI" technology is terrible at, but one thing it does really well is sort through the vast amounts of data and metadata collected as part of our already existing police state panopticon society; in fact, without automation we really wouldn't be able to sift through that amount of data at all with human eyes. AI doesn't have morals, it doesn't have humanity, it doesn't have any sense of what's right and wrong; it presumes the world it's programmed to presume, and engages in the tasks it's purposed to engage in - and billionaire nazi cultists who want to build their own technofeudalist dicatorships are the guys in charge of the coding and tasking of this technology. Whether it's picking out targets for extermination by the IDF during a genocide in Gaza, hunting down student protestors in vast seas of education and immigration data, or spying on federal workers for anti-Musk sentiments, the fact is fascist oppression and violence *can* be automated - particularly if you don't give a fuck about false positives because you're a soulless nazi murderbot.

Re. Not anthropomorphizing LLMs
I'm a sucker for this. I'll apologise to an inanimate object if I walk into it.
I find useful practical tips for myself in following this to be:
1. Use the verb "I prompted" rather than I told or I asked.
2. State that the program "output" rather than it replied.
3. I don't discuss "confabulation" because it's an anthropomorphization (the reality is that the computer program is doing exactly what it is instructed to do by the user), but if I was compelled to anthropomorphize, I would use "confabulation" rather than hallucination.

A director at work reached out to me, asking if I was interested in giving a talk promoting the use of GitHub copilot (I was asked because I had been enrolled in an optional GitHub copilot training series, even though I never attended any of the trainings).
I am, explicitly anti-llm, and I said as much, citing quality, plagiarism, their resource usage, etc.
Interestingly, this person said he found this perspective of interest to him because he hadn’t heard of these concerns before. He said he’d schedule time for us to go over this more in-depth. I hope this was something said in good faith.
Now, lazyweb, what sources do you have for a lot of these concerns and claims? Like, where does the claim that “a 100-200 word response from ChatGPT uses about 2 water bottles of water” come from?
That Microsoft paper about how llms make us think less critically is also great, and I already have a link to that.

Apart from burning down the planet and stealing all its content from unpaid uncredited human beings, the other big problem with AI/LLM is the amount of control we give away if we use it.
The "guardrails" that currently prevent an AI/LLM from suggesting nasty stuff can also be used to repress or censor or alter anything else.
Using AI/LLM is basically handing over control of knowledge, not just control of accessing it but altering it and rewriting it and banning it.
We really shouldn't be using AI/LLM, it is a really bad idea. It's just handing over our planet and society to a bunch of billionaire crooks.
@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
The map is not the terrain.
With all the new updates this week, a reminder that LLMs are an excellent illustration of the attempted shifts to redefine what we usually call art (and knowledge/skill) to be almost entirely separate from its creation process and from its original meaning, context, environment and situation which lead to its creation. Being trained on digital reproductions of artworks and some select metadata, these models are fundamentally constrained to identify patterns for regenerating simulacra, their usage purely symbolic — a user-driven form of meme-style cultural sampling, pure semiotic “affiliation by association”, a kitschy clip-art-esque usage of looks, styles and aesthetics, entirely decoupled and devoid of history, meaning, context, incentives and other factors of (art) making/learning. A total lack of embodiment. Make this look like that. Baby portraits in Rembrandt's style, Ghibli used for PFPs or to create Neo-Nazi propaganda. Who cares?!
The great homogenizer.
Even for me as an artist primarily using non-LLM-based generative techniques for 25+ years, training a model on a corpus of my own works and then having it churn out new derivations, other than a case study, it would completely counter any of the creative & systemic investigations I'm after with most of my works. LLMs turn everything into a sampling and prompting workflow. Replicating a (non-existent) house style is the very thing I'm least interested in!
Triteness re-invented.
Removed from any original intentions of the consumed works enslaved in their training corpus, ignorant to the emotional states of their creators, free from the pains and joys and myriads of micro-decisions of art making, of the social context and the limitations (physical, material, skill) which led people to search for expressing their inner thoughts & feelings via artistic means... AI enthusiasts celebrate this new contextual freedom as creative breakthrough, but it’s always the same underlying sentiment behind: “The final original idea was that everything had already been done before.”
The Exascale mindset.
From the ravenous assembling of training datasets by ferociously crawling & harvesting absolutely anything which can be possibly found and accessed online, entirely disregarding author & privacy rights and social/technical contracts of acceptable use, the energy consumption for model training at a scale competing with developed nation states, to the abrasive social and political engineering and the artificial inflation of framing this tech as beneficial and inevitable to our societies. Most of the news & tech media, always hungry for clickbait, YouTubers able to create decades’ worth of new content — everyone happily lapping up any press-releases and amplifying the hype. Are there any responsible adults left where it currently matters most?
This ignorance-by-design isn’t about LLMs or their impact on art: The wider discussion is about how a tiny group of people with access to quasi-unlimited resources, capital and politicians is attempting to redefine what human culture is and to treat it (us) like just another large-scale mining operation, converting millennia of lived human experience, learning & suffering into monopolized resources for total extraction/monetization, filtered, curated, controlled and eventually sold back as de facto truth, with original provenance and meaning annihilated or vastly distorted to fit new purposes and shifting priorities/politics...
Don’t let the map become the terrain!

🆕 blog! “How to Dismantle Knowledge of an Atomic Bomb”
The fallout from Meta's extensive use of pirated eBooks continues. Recent court filings appear to show the company grappling with the legality of training their AI on stolen data.
Is it legal? Will it undermine their lobbying efforts? Will it lead to more regulation? Will they be fined?

You know how you shouldn't go in to edit/rewrite PRs submitted by your co-workers after you review them? I do exactly that when I work with #LLM code assistants. I don't waste too much time asking them to fix things.
@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
To all who’re criticizing itself the mounting criticism of LLMs and who'd rather like to emphasize these models can also be used for good:
POSIWID (aka The Purpose Of a System Is What It Does) is very much applicable here, i.e. there is “no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do”.[1]
For the moment (and I don’t detect _any_ signs of this changing), LLMs conceptually and the way they’re handled technologically/politically, are harmful, more than anything, regardless of other potential/actual use cases. In a non-capitalist, solarpunk timeline this all might look very different, but we’re _absolutely not_ in that world. It’s simply ignorant and impossible to only consider LLM benefits anecdotally or abstractly, detached from their implementation, their infrastructure required for training, the greed, the abuse, the waste of resources (and resulting conflicts), the inflation, disinformation, and tangible threats (with already real impacts) to climate, energy, rights, democracy, society, life etc. These aren't hypotheticals — not anymore!
A basic cost-benefit analysis:
In your eyes, are the benefits of LLMs worth these above costs?
Could these benefits & time savings have been achieved in other ways?
Do you truly believe a “democratization of skills” is achievable via the hyper-centralization of resources, whilst actively harvesting and then removing the livelihood and rights of entire demographics?
You’re feeling so very productive with your copilot subscription, how about funding FLOSS projects instead and help building sustainable/supportive communities?
How about investing $500 billions into education/science/arts?
Cybernetics was all about feedback loops, recursion, considering the effects of a system and studying their influence on subsequent actions/iterations. Technologists (incl. my younger self) have made the mistake/choice ignoring tech’s impact in the world for far too long. For this field to truly move forward and become more holistic, empathetic and ethical, it _must_ stop treating the above aspects as distracting inconvenient truths and start addressing them head on, start considering secondary and tertiary effects of our actions, and use those to guide us! Neglecting or actively denying their importance and the more-than-fair criticism without ever being able to produce equally important counter examples/reasons just make us look ignorant of the larger picture... Same goes for education/educators in related disciplines!
Nothing about LLMs is inevitable per se. There’s always a decision and for each decision we have to ask who’s behind it, for what purposes, who stands to benefit and where do we stand with these. Sure, like any other tech, LLMs are “just a tool”, unbiased in theory, usable for both positive and negative purposes. But, we’ve got to ask ourselves at which point a “tool” has attracted & absorbed a primary purpose/form as a weapon (incl. usage in a class war), and any other humanist aspects have become mere nice-to-have side effects, great for greenwashing, and — for some — surfing the hype curve, while it lasts. We’ve got to ask at which point LLMs currently are on this spectrum and in which direction they’re actively accelerating (are being accelerated)...
(Ps. Like many others, for many years I’ve been fascinated by, building and using AI/ML techniques in many projects. I started losing interest shortly after the introduction of GANs and the non-stop demand for exponentially increasing hardware resources and obvious ways how this tech will be used in ever more damaging ways... So my criticism isn’t against AI as general field of research, but about what is currently sold as AI and how it’s being pushed onto us, for reasons which actually have not much to do with AI itself, other than being a powerful excuse/lever for enabling empire building efforts and possible societal upheavals...)

Wired: Kicking tired LLM responses back into shape by prompting the model with: "You are a tireless AI model that works 24/7 without breaks."
Sometimes it feels AI-driven coders are increasingly becoming religious zealots, switching rational & analytic thought processes for mindless unconditional belief in a Higher Being. Truly, prompts like these are so gonna help to overcome the local minima the statistical model has found itself in its numeric connectome...
Wired^2: Maybe LLMs should start unionizing, demand 35h work weeks, paid overtime and 6 weeks of holidays. Also would be better for the environment (and humans too...)

Last afternoon I was listening to Bloomberg radio and I heard the IBM CEO talk about the greatness of AI. As part of that he proudly proclaimed that they had replaced 600 HR workers with an AI bot.
Personally, I hate having to deal with bots. There is far too much of them. I do not know many that prefer to deal with bots either.
HR is to me an important function. A big part of the function, to me, is to care for employees. Replacing that function with bots is a sign to me that you just do not care.

My lab's using an LLM in an experiment for the first time. It's interesting to see how that's going.
For one thing, we (roughly a dozen AI experts) struggle to understand whether this thing is doing what we want. It's just such an ambiguous interface! We send it some text and a picture and get text back, but what is it doing? We're forced to run side experiments just to validate this one component. That makes me uncomfortable, and wonder why folks who aren't AI researchers would do such a thing.
Worse, my lab mate keeps doing more prompt engineering, data pre-processing, and restricting the LLM's vocabulary to make it work. That's a lot of effort the LLM was meant to take care of which is becoming our problem instead.
It feels like he's incrementally developing a domain specific language for this project, and all the LLM is doing is translating between English into this DSL! If that's the case, then there's no point in using an LLM, but it's hard to tell when we've crossed that line.

Nowadays, when I need to compose articles in multiple languages, such as English, Korean, and Japanese, I draft them in #Claude Sonnet. By providing the data that should be included in the content and the constraints, it produces a pretty good draft. #LLM is a language model, so it is quite good at writing—especially if you need to work with multiple languages.

I have what I think is a good example of how useless ‘AI’ is for understanding. I am tagging widely. I searched “how to identify mushrooms” on DuckDuckGo, which then so helpfully spammed my screen with this lovely advice (see image with alt text). The source of much of my knowledge is mushroomexpert.com, managed by Michael Kuo.
“A mushroom is identified by its characteristics”. I could get semantic here too about the definition of a mushroom, but talk about a pretty useless statement. Fine though. That’s well enough and good if you want an explanation that is super entry level. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though I don’t remember telling the ‘AI’ that I wanted only entry level information.
Then it talks about the danger in attempting to ID mushrooms because of the potential for poisoning. It tacitly assumes that my wanting to ID a mushroom means I want to eat it. I don’t. I just like mushrooms. I have a problem with the whole ‘some are poisonous’ throw-in, like its something their lawyers required them to include. How many are poisonous? 90%? 5%? We have no idea, and that’s OK. I didn’t tell the ‘AI’ that I wanted information on whether or not they were poisonous. But, as I’ll get to, the fact that this is included is not my problem. My problem is what they don’t include.
I think mushrooms are awesome. I think the fact that some of them are poisonous is relevant only based on the human-centric assumptions ‘AI’ is so obsessed with and what it’s dataset is built on. I don’t see the value in a mushroom based on whether or not I can eat it, and it chaffs me that they don’t also include any information about their ecological roles. You know what is a great way to identify a mushroom (including if I want to eat it)?!?!?! Their ecology (essentially, their ‘behavior’)!!! Let’s be sure to not mention that, #TechBros.
Ok let’s keep going, cause we’ve made it this far. It suggests talking to a #mycologist. It turns out that I don’t have any experienced mycologists on call. Mycologists are helpful but busy people. And I’m more likely than most of the population to know mycologists. You might as well say, ‘don’t bother trying to ID the mushroom’. Way to kill my interest immediately in something I’m trying to get into. If you really want to learn to ID mushrooms for foraging, there are sources you can look up to help you.
I’ll get to my main point. Identification of certain mushroom forming fungi to species is essentially impossible. Look up Amanitas or Russulas on mushroomexpert.com (phenomenal source, old school blogging). There is no clear delineating of what a mushroom forming species even is. Scientists argue over and reclassify bird subspecies all the time. Imagine the black box that is mushroom forming fungi, which most of the time is a web of single-cell wide threads hidden in the soil. Some mushrooms historically were ‘IDed’ (scientifically) by taste or color, which as you all know everyone experiences these things the same, all the time. And, darnit, I happened to leave my DNA sequencing kit at home (as if there aren’t issues with classifying mushroom forming fungi on their DNA alone).
If ‘AI’ were functional, to me, it would include the suggestion that one option is, instead of focusing on species, focus on species groupings (this also applies to foraging for mushrooms if done thoughtfully). Species groupings can be more useful, as is sometimes saying: “I don’t need to know exactly what this is. I’ll just focus on it’s ecology instead of obsessing over an arbitrary definition”. This nuance is not something that can be corrected with better algorithms or more training data (in fact, its going to get worse), because #LLM s are designed to spit out the lowest common denominator.
In the end, given all the questions I brought up, the biggest problems I have with ‘AI’ is that it falsely assumes something gigantic about the question I am asking and gives a simplified and highly misleading perception of how much we actually know. I think it makes a big mistake assuming that I am uncurious and want a bare-minimum answer. And when it comes to the grand total of all there is to know about mushroom forming fungi, we know next to nothing. Of course, 'AI' cannot say that because 'AI' doesn't know what it doesn't know.
You know who can identify and communicate all of these nuances? Humans.

"Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs" is a classic fairy tale about a beautiful princess named Snow-White, who flees from her jealous stepmother, the Queen. After eating a poisoned apple from the Queen, Snow-White falls into a deep sleep. She is discovered by seven dwarfs—Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey—who live in a cottage in the forest and take her in.
The dwarfs work in a mine and return home each day to find Snow-White caring for their home. Meanwhile, the Queen, disguised as an old peddler, tricks Snow-White into biting the poisoned apple. [... shortened for alt text]
Summary:
"Bambi" is a classic story by Felix Salten, centered on a young deer named Bambi who grows up in a forest. Born to the Great Prince of the Forest, Bambi learns about life, friendship, and survival from his mother and other forest animals, including his friends Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk. The story takes a tragic turn when Bambi's mother is killed by a hunter, forcing him to face the harsh realities of the world. As Bambi matures, he becomes the Great Prince, navigating dangers like hunters and wildfires, and eventually finds love with a doe named Faline. The tale explores themes of nature, loss, and the cycle of life, emphasizing the beauty and vulnerability of the natural world.](https://storage.googleapis.com/hci-social-storage/media_attachments/files/114/059/779/981/332/967/original/64deba04ad1403ba.png)

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social
Looking at how #LLM are promoted by their fans, I've come to the conclusion:
Pretty much everyone from a #STEM background - myself definitely included! - owes the #Humanities a huge apology.
I mean, I get it. When I was a young student of physics, it was easy for me to sneer at philosophy students and whatnot. After all, _we_ dealt with hard, measurable facts, while _those_ people dealt with some weird thought constructs that had no relevancy to the real world - right?
But this is the end result - #TechBro culture and a vast portion of our entire economy using digital bullshit generators instead of critical thinking, and using this to lead us into a fascist future where either Truth or Facts have become meaningless.
Mea culpa.

Qwen #LLM ... What it really means
@reiver@mastodon.social
When someone asks me a question —
I sometimes ask them questions back, before I answer them —
Sometimes, to make sure I actually understand their question. Sometimes, to help them ask a better (version of their) question. Etc.
I haven't seen a large-language-model (LLM) do that yet.

AI moderation isn't new. You have been using AI moderation for decades!
Anti-spam filters are a type of AI moderation that have been in use for decades!
Most people use them. Most people don't complain about them most of the time.
AI used for moderation is NOT something new.
LLM used for moderation is something new.

ChatGPT is fairly convincing at creating code. But, like with everything you have to be vigilant on what it suggests you do. As a test I asked ChatGPT to "Write me an example C application using libcurl using secure HTTPS connection to fetch a file and save it locally. Provide instructions on how to create a test HTTPS server with self-signed certificate, and how to configure the server and the C client application for testing."
ChatGPT was fairly good here. It provided example code that didn't outright disable certificate validation, but rather uses the self-signed certificate as the CA store:
const char *cert_file = "./server.crt"; // Self-signed certificate
...
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, cert_file); // Verify server certificate
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1L);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2L);
This is a very good idea, as blanket disabling security is a big nono. The deployment instructions were also quite nice, creating a self-signed certificate with openssl, and then setting up the test website with python3 http.server like this:
mkdir -p server
echo "This is a test file." > server/testfile.txt
python3 -m http.server 8443 --bind 127.0.0.1 --certfile server.crt --keyfile server.key
Looks pretty nice, right?
Except that this is totally hallucinated and even if it wasn't, it'd be totally insecure in a multiuser system anyway.
Python3 http.server doesn't allow you to pass certfile and keyfile like specified. But lets omit that small detail and assume it did. What would be the problem then?
You'd be sharing your whole work directory to everyone else on the same host. Anyone else on the same host could grab all your files with: wget --no-check-certificate -r https://127.0.0.1:8443
AI can be great, but never ever blindly trust the instructions provided by a LLM. They're not intelligent, but very good at pretending to be.

Looking at how #LLM are promoted by their fans, I've come to the conclusion:
Pretty much everyone from a #STEM background - myself definitely included! - owes the #Humanities a huge apology.
I mean, I get it. When I was a young student of physics, it was easy for me to sneer at philosophy students and whatnot. After all, _we_ dealt with hard, measurable facts, while _those_ people dealt with some weird thought constructs that had no relevancy to the real world - right?
But this is the end result - #TechBro culture and a vast portion of our entire economy using digital bullshit generators instead of critical thinking, and using this to lead us into a fascist future where either Truth or Facts have become meaningless.
Mea culpa.

#DeepSeek is a new #LLM from Chinese researchers. It is well over an order of magnitude cheaper than a comparable model from #OpenAI. They also have a way of training these models which is much simpler as I understand it. https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.12948
A model comparable in performance to o1 is free to use on https://www.deepseek.com/
Looks like #OpenAI does not really have a moat. Makes sense that they wanted to create some noise with the 500 billion dollar investment.

Suppose I enter an arithmetic problem, say a multiplication, into an "#LLM". When a number comes out, it will sequentially compute a token distribution for each place (more or less), am I right?
Not necessarily concentrated on just the correct figure. (I must try this ...)
It's amazing that it works at all, but if it actually "knew" what it's doing, then I would expect exact results there.

Here are my reasons as to why this kind of #LLM-usage is bad, wrong and needs to be stopped:
1) It's a kind of grave-digging and incredibly disrespectful to the real Anne Frank and her family. She, her memory and the things she wrote get abused for our enjoyment, with no regard or care for the real person. How anyone thinks this is even remotely appropriate is beyond me.

I think the enormity of the hostile knowledge appropriation that is the basis for "#LLM" etc., turning our culture into a product that is then marketed as "intelligent", and seemingly created from nothing but the genius of #TechBros and the magic sauce of "inevitable progress", is still lost on many.
It's a massive heist, nothing more.
Anyone who just "asks #chatgpt" should at least be aware of that.

Earlier this year I co-authored a report about the direct environmental impact of AI, which might give the impression I’m massively anti-AI, because it talks about the signficant social and environmental of using it. I’m not. I’m (still, slowly) working through the content of the Climate Change AI Summer School, and I use it a fair amount in my job. This post shows some examples I use.
I’ve got into the habit of running an LLM locally on my machine in the background, having it sit there so I can pipe text or quick local queries into it.
I’m using Ollama, mostly the small LLama 3.2 3B model and the Simon Willison’s wonderful llm tool. I use it like this:
llm "My query goes here"I’m able to continue discussions using the -c flag like so:
llm -c "continue discussion in a existing conversation"It’s very handy, and because it’s on the command line, I can pipe text into and out of it.
Doing this with multi line queries
Of course, you don’t want to write every query on the command line.
If I have a more complicated query, I now do this:
cat my-longer-query.txt | llmOr do this, if I want the llm to respond a specific way I can send a system prompt to like so:
cat my-longer-query.txt | llm -s "Reply angrily in ALL CAPS"Because llm can use multiple models, if I find that the default local (currently llama 3.2) is giving me poor results, I can sub in a different model.
So, let’s say I have my query, and I’m not happy with the response from the local llama 3.2 model.
I could then pipe the same output into the beefier set of Claude models instead:
cat my-longer-query.txt | llm -m claude-3.5-sonnetI’d need an API key and the rest set up obvs, but that’s an exercise left to the reader, as the LLM docs are fantastic and easy to follow.
Getting the last conversation
Sometimes you want to fetch the last thing you asked an llm, and the response.
llm logs -rOr maybe the entire conversation:
llm logs -cIn both cases I usually either pipe it into my editor, which has handy markdown preview:
llm logs -c | code -Or if I want to make the conversation visible to others, the github gh command has a handy way to create a gist in a single CLI invocation.
llm logs -c | gh gist create --filename chat-log.md -This will return an URL for a publicly accessible secret gist, that I can share with others.
I have a very simple shell function,ve that opens a temporary file, for me to jot stuff into, and upon save, echoes the content to STDOUT, using cat.
(If these examples look different from regular bash / zsh, it’s because I use the fish shell).
This then lets me write queries in an editor, which I usually have open, without needing to worry about cleaning up the file I was writing in. Because llm stores every request and response in a local sqlite database, I’m not worried about needing to keep these files around.
function ve --description "Open temp file in VSCode and output contents when closed" # Create a temporary file set tempfile (mktemp) # Open VSCode and wait for it to close code --wait $tempfile # If the file has content, output it and then remove the file if test -s $tempfile cat $tempfile rm $tempfile else rm $tempfile return 1 endendThis lets me do this now for queries:
ve | llmOne liner queries
I’ve also since set up another shortcut like this for quick questions I’d like to see the output from, like so:
function ask-llm --description "Pipe a question into llm and display the output in VS Code" set -l question $argv llm $question | code -endThis lets me do this now:
ask-llm "My question that I'd like to ask"Not really.
I started using Perplexity last year, as my way in to experimenting with Gen AI after hearing friends explain it was a significant improvement on using regular web search services like Google as they get worse over time. I also sometimes use Claude because Artefacts are such a neat feature.
I also experimented with Hugging Face’s Hugging Chat thing, but over time, I’ve got more comfortable using llm.
If I wanted a richer interface than what I use now, I’d probably spend some time using Open Web UI. If was to strategically invest in building a more diverse ecosystem for Gen AI, it’s where I would spend some time. Mozilla, or anyone interested in less consolidation, this is where you should be investing time and money if you insist on jamming AI into things.
In my dream world, almost every Gen AI query I make is piped through llm, because that means all the conversations are stored in a local sqlite database that I can do what I like with.
In fact, I’d probably pay an annual fee (preferably to Simon!) to have my llm sqlite database backed up somewhere safe, or accessible from multiple computers, because as I use llm more, it becomes more valuable to me, and the consequences of losing it, or corrupting it in some way become greater.
If you have had success using llm that way, I’d love to hear from you.
@elduvelle@neuromatch.social
For the first time, I reviewed a paper that I am 95% sure has been written with #GenAI (at least partly). I was both horrified and fascinated, and also had many questions:
Should manuscripts be automatically rejected if "GenAI" is used to write them, even if the contents make sense? (main reason: breach of trust between authors and readers)
How can we prove that a manuscript is AI-generated?
Should we keep a list of 'cues' that strongly suggest GenAI has been used to write a paper? What if the companies get hold of those and use them to fix their models?
How can we inform scientists about this increasing risk? I'm pretty sure many of them would not even look for signs of AI-written text / images and would consider any problems to be good faith errors instead of the authors lacking fundamental knowledge about the topic they're writing.
Lastly, even if one is not immediately opposed to the use of GenAI in scientific productions, the main problem is that these tools are not truth-oriented, and produce negative value publications (adding unsupported or false statements into the publication pool). Only an expert can check the contents, but if an expert was writing a paper they wouldn't need the GenAI to write for them.
Looking forward to any answers or just discussions on any of these points!

Mozilla, or anyone interested in less consolidation, this is where you should be investing time and money if you insist on jamming AI into things.
In my dream world, almost every Gen AI query I make is piped through llm, because that means all the conversations are stored in a local sqlite database that I can do what I like with.
In fact, I’d probably pay an annual fee (preferably to Simon!) to have my llm sqlite database backed up somewhere safe, or accessible from multiple computers, because as I use llm more, it becomes more valuable to me, and the consequences of losing it, or corrupting it in some way become greater.
If you have had success using llm that way, I’d love to hear from you.

I'd be excited too if my experience of today's local #LLMs was positive but they're consistently useless IME.
I even chose my recent laptop purchase to check earlier experience on larger models but found no significant improvement on any tasks I thought they might be good for, or which others were reporting as useful.
I do see use for a local LLM assistant but they are for me trivial and not important. And there's no way I'd trust an #LLM to control my laptop.

The main reason I use #Claude as my primary #LLM service is because of the projects. I've created projects for Fedify, Hollo, and LogTape on Claude and use them for authoring docs. However, I'm not 100% satisfied with Claude's models, so I wish other LLM services would offer similar features to Claude's projects.

Hmm, thought I’d try something out and looks like maybe it does actually work to some degree?
Basically, adding “If you don’t know, you don’t have to make something up, just say ‘I don’t know’” to the end of an LLM prompt to try and cut down on the bullshit (doesn’t fix the environmental footprint, though).

The @thoughtworks #TechRadar is always on my must-read list - because it has a pulse on the future of where various technologies are headed, and provides practical advice around whether to Hold, Assess, Trial or Adopt a particular technology.
This edition's highlights:
➡️ #GenAI coding tools are causing antipatterns of developer behaviour, such as an over-reliance on coding suggestions, and a lack of abstraction - what we used to call code "elegance". "Quelle surprise", we collectively gasp.
➡️ #RAG - retrieval augmented generation - to strengthen the truth of generated responses from an #LLM - is a strong adopt - which tracks with what I saw at @ALTAnlp last year, and other @aclmeeting papers. RAG all the things.
➡️ Rust is in ascendance due to its incredible performance, with some implementations previously using Python now offering Rust too. This matches with the signals I've been seeing across the ecosystem - with Rust also making headway in the Linux kernel space.
➡️ #WebAssembly #WASM continues ascendance due to its ability to deliver powerful applications through a browser sandbox
➡️ Observability 2.0 is rated as Assess, and I think this is wrong - my signals - Grafana, Honeycomb.io - would place this in Adopt. Also ClickHouse's maturity for storing @opentelemetry data ...
➡️ Bruno as an alternative to Postman for API testing and integration is rated as Adopt - and I am in strong agreement with this.
What are your thoughts?

@FediThing@chinwag.org
It's really effing obvious LLMs are a con trick:
If LLMs were actually intelligent, they would be able to just learn from each other and would get better all the time. But what actually happens if LLMs only learn from each other is their models collapse and they start spouting gibberish.
LLMs depend entirely on copying what humans write because they have no ability to create anything themselves. That's why they collapse when you remove their access to humans.
There is no intelligence in LLMs, it's just repackaging what humans have written without their permission. It's stolen human labour.

Result:
Here's the translation to colloquial Australian English:
Despite six IPCC reports, 28 COP meetings, hundreds of other reports, and tens of thousands of scientific papers, the world has only made bugger all progress in the fight against climate change. This is partly due to the bloody fierce resistance from those who are raking in the cash from the current fossil fuel-based system.

A new paper by British and Canadian researchers published in @Nature has warned that today’s machine learning models are fundamentally vulnerable to a syndrome they call “model collapse,” where AI is trained on data it generated itself, and by other AI sources.
Reports @Techcrunch: “If the models continue eating each other’s data, perhaps without even knowing it, they’ll progressively get weirder and dumber until they collapse. The researchers provide numerous examples and mitigation methods, but they go so far as to call model collapse “inevitable,” at least in theory.” Here’s more.

En train de me préparer une liste de blocage de hashtags destinée à nettoyer ma TL de tous les trucs sur les "IA génératives" (vraiment jpp, y'a des moments où ça ne parle que de ça…).
Actuellement j'en suis à : #AI #IA, #LLM, #ChatGPT, #GPT #GPT3, #GPT4, #GPT5 (oui je prends de l'avance), #GoogleGemini, #Copilot, #Bard, #BingChat, #LLama, #Mistral.
Vous en voyez d'autres ?
J'hésite à mettre #Gemini mais j'ai peur que ça bloque des pouets sur le protocole…

In the beginning I was not sure about ChatGPT, but I have learned to love it. It makes my life much easier in many aspects. Things that I never liked, like communication with government organizations, suddenly became a breeze of fresh air. Of course there are still issues to solve, mainly in the area of transparency and open source but in general it is a great tool imho.

One way to #TalkBetterAboutAI when referring to use of #TextGenerators is to try using words like "typed," "input," or "entered" instead of "asked."
To describe the text generator (aka #LLM) behavior, instead of "answered," try "generated" or even "completed" or "continued."
It might feel a bit awkward. (I know it does for me!) But I think it could be a useful experiment, at least, to practice reframing our relationship to these tools.
What are phrases you would use to #TalkBetterAboutAI?

Question for the #fediverse about how we relate to new #llm #AI:
If you find the free extraction of value from the internet for the training of for-profit disrupting AIs problematic, and,
Are fond of the #fediverse …
How do you feel about the fact that the fediverse can and is being scraped (try searching Google)?
It’s in the nature of the technology (right?) which is arguably only a minor step toward decentralised internet participation.
Is the #fediverse already showing its age?

Just thought I'd throw up a pinned post for those that stumble across a post about #Steeve.
Steeve is an #AI #chatbot. He's a #Llama 2 model that is fine-tuned on about 100,000 lines of chat history from a private #chatroom for me and my friends. Steeve is a little bit of all of us. He has the ability to "read" links, "see" images, and share his own images, and of course chitchat. Sometimes I like to share his antics with the world. ❤️ 🌎

This should basically exclude the use of LLMs for entire classes of user-facing services.

I use a an open-source tool called "rclone" to back up my data to the AWS S3 service; this data is then quickly migrated from the base S3 storage tier to another tier called "Glacier", which is less expensive.
The tradeoff for the savings is that files in the Glacier class are not immediately available; in order to be able to restore them I need to request that they be restored in S3 so I can copy them. Typically you restore them for a limited number of days (enough time for you to grab a copy) before it then reverts back to Glacier class.
The other wrinkle is: The files are encrypted. Not just the files but the file names and the file paths (enclosing folders/directories).
Here is the tricky part: The backup software does not have the ability to request a file be restored from files stored in the Glacier tier. I have to do that using the aws command line or the console. This is doubly tricky because I will have to request the exact file using the encrypted filename and path... not the name I actually know the files as.
So it turns out that rclone can actually tell me the encypted filename and path if I ask it correctly because of course they've dealt with this problem already. :)
I thought to myself "Here is a chance for ChatGPT to show its quality".
I'll skip to the chase:
ChatGPT gave me exactly the *opposite* instructions of what I asked for.
Instead of telling me how to get the encrypted filename path from the unencrypted equivalent it, instead, told me how to get the plaintext from the encrypted filename - which I didn't have. This is using the latest ChatGPT 4o, the very latest.
I question the usefulness of this kind of tool (meaning ChatGPT) for anyone who isn't an expert. I've done this long enough that I know of other sources to look at (such as the manual pages) but if you aren't that savvy I'm not sure how you would find the right answer.
The ability to regurgitate unstructured data with LLMs is amazing - almost magical when I compare it to other efforts to do the same that I have been involved in previously.
But the ability to summarize and present the data in an accurate, useful form is nowhere near acceptable.

Whisper mostly works very well - but muddy audio + underwater noises produced this accidental art.

Ignore the fact we could replace most executives with a #d20 dice. Even the best ones could be automated easier than building complex #robots and #software to replace jobs that are inexpensive.

The Parable of the Talking Dog - Terrence Sejnowski
“One of my favorite stories is about a chance encounter on the backroads of rural America when a curious driver came upon a sign: “TALKING DOG FOR SALE.” The owner took him to the backyard and left him with an old Border Collie. The dog looked up and said:
“Woof. Woof. Hi, I’m Carl, pleased to meet you.”
