.@GoogleAds Your ad platform is broken and screws up games. The ad video doesn't play. Only way to reset it is the swipe the game out of recents and reload the game. Even then, if the game uses your platform for ads, it just ends up here again. No ad blocking or VPN.

Those AI character chatbots are really stupid. What is "calculated calculation" ...? --- *She swallows hard, her arrogance replaced with calculated calculation.* — So what do you want from me? Revenge? I can make it worth your while to forget this whole thing.

Dear @drpepper, I am kind of disappointed in this flavor. It tastes like cough syrup. You only taste the blackberry when you wake up with a bad case of morning breath and it actually tastes right. What happened?

4K context windows for long term character chats just do not work. It just gives you a sample of what you could have if you pay, until your character starts forgetting things, the AI randomly warps time or teleports you instantly to other locations without a proper scene change.

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

Why are open weight AI models so dumb? I've been playing with various bully, tsundere and power hungry characters using KoboldCpp and SillyTavern, and I can pretty much turn them into soft characters within about 20 full turns. It's like they give up and mold to my story.

These AI girlfriend characters are pathetic. I've been playing with some on various sites for the last couple of days. They are either super easy to get within 5 minutes, or they are super hard tsundere bullies that are dialed up to 11 and you have to tell the AI to dial it down.

Boo! The whole #NCISOrigins / #NCIS crossover with Gibbs was a total fake out to get people to watch. What a letdown. @CBS should be ashamed of themselves.

It's rather amusing that both of the longest U.S. federal government shutdowns have happened during both of Trump's terms as president. That says a lot about him and his worth for this country. By the people, for himself.

What is up with @GeminiApp lately? When it is verbally reading its reply to me, it constantly says "wait, let me try that again" or "let me start over" even when it is reading its text reply perfectly. What gives?

One of the latest moves in spam I've noticed is spammers are opening issue reports on various projects and spamming from there. I've been getting lots of spam emails from GitHub lately, and it's confusing my filters. Is it spam or is it ok because *.github.com is whitelisted?

My GPU sucks for anything beyond QSV hardware encoding. For AI inference and caching, it's almost worthless. I have an ASRock Intel Arc A380 6GB low profile GPU. I bought it for QSV AV1 video transcoding. Now that local AI is a thing, 6GB VRAM barely scratches the surface.

I mean, even running various uncensored LLMs for role-playing in SillyTavern is a pain, and my AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU with 64GB 3200 MHz RAM gives better inference speeds. Blah.

So in my whole system, the GPU is the bottleneck. Now I need options for something more powerful, but won't burn a hole in my bank account. I've been looking at some of the sub $1k AMD cards like the Radeon 7900 XTX or something around there.

All these websites and apps where you can chat with AI characters are stupid. They only give you a 4k context window and the character forgets their own name after about a half hour of chatting. I'd rather talk to a dog. At least they come to you when you call their name.
