@mcpinson
Is that what kids are calling it these days?

@RandomDamage @Sobex In my vision, I wanted to make her more like a resident or researcher at the University of Magic, a role where she could study, teach, access the library, speak directly to the headmaster, and get invited to the New Year party, etc... But it's hard to build a more complete lore with just 4 panels at a time.
@davidrevoy Maybe if you asked AI to help you with your storylines...

@davidrevoy This comic is perfect to present the problems with LLMs. And the parrot already is my favourite picture to explain LLMs. Like, would we say a parrot is intelligent because it learned to say "Who's there" if someone said "knock knock"?
@dereisenhofer Thank you! But I have no merit for that analogy: the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_parrot paper from Emily M. Bender & co was really the starting point. I met the concept after brainstorming with Framasoft for a mechanical Parrot mascot illustration on one of their campaign https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/framasoft__2024-11-19_03_Framamia-et-Lokas_by-David-Revoy.html . Later, I felt the idea of a cyber AI Parrot character would be a powerful concept and character, like in books of some of my favorite authors ( A. Douglas , T. Pratchett ). And here we are ☺️ .

@davidrevoy She needs to conjure up a magic firewall. preferably made of hellfire

@solitha 🤣 🤣
Note: I tried out of curiosity and research via a local install of https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.jeffser.Alpaca and it was really bad: 'open source' AI LLMs model I tried can't make a punchline, or an ending twist. Every story they output can't surprise the audience: they are statistically tropes, story slop, and the ending is always super cringe. But this test was super educational about CPU usage: super slow despite having a powerful computer. Uninstalled.

@LonM Oh! Firewall. 🧡 🔥 I'll note it somewhere. Thanks!
"IgnisMurus !" 😆

@elzen Yes! Well guessed: this episode is my 'bridge' to link back the Amphora as the data-center/server of the Avian Intelligence. A future opportunity to speak about shortage of device, price hiking, and ecology.
@davidrevoy @elzen now I imagine the Avian Intelligence as a drunken bird, as it is fed with the "distilled" liquid extracted from the AGI.

@davidrevoy "statistically" is probably the operative word there, since that's more or less what they are... statistical word generators.
They'll never twist or surprise because they're going for the most likely output from the millions of artists they've been fed (and increasingly, re-ingesting slop).
(Edit: I probably didn't need to say all that, did I? Derp.)
Gotta say the Avian Intelligence mini has been spot-on and a delight.

Is Pepper getting..... Spicy? 😉I'm quite worried though... Who's been listening and how will they torment Pepper with the knowledge they've stolen? 😬

@davidrevoy Great Comic as usual. A great way to get people thinking about what AI does as well.

@tiredbun @voxel I hope I'll can draw enough episodes in this mini series to explore many issues (addiction/psychosis/and more) on user side and be able to land a conclusion aligned with something that was really well expressed on this toot: https://lgbtqia.space/@alice/115845072659379702 , something nuanced.
I hope by the end, the Gothic Sorceress will have a responsible usage of it, and maybe her own 'local' one. Maybe even themed like a crow. I'll see, so many things to draw to reach this point! I'm working on it. -

@davidrevoy @Sobex @solitha @lazy of course! I'm sure if you follow this thread long enough everything will come out.
It's been really fun so far

@davidrevoy @solitha @lazy She's a student, though, given how she was introduced. Isn't 300 year old a bit old for a witch student ?
@Sobex @lazy @solitha @davidrevoy Maybe she’s a postdoctoral fellow – desperately going from one postdoc position to another because there’s almost no permanent positions anymore.
(Any similarity with the current academic landscape would be of course purely coincidental.)

@gargron@mastodon.social I realized I was not in the same league of software developer as my colleagues when I built a PC and put in 4GB of RAM while they'd go 16 and up.
This was back in the day before Electron apps, so think Notepad++ and Sublime Text, truly lightweight stuff.
You are incentivized to build fast shit when constrained by your RAM, I'll tell you that.

@fediplayssnake go forward not right!!!! are you trying to game over????

Setting up the new servers for my new Mastodon instance. (It's just a toy deployment.)

Accompanying the drums: Casio CZ101, Roland HS60 (Juno-106S) & Moog D, thanks to Pi. You know, 3.14...
Why?
In E01 of S02, Charlie mentions how Pi shows up in all kinds of places, & we don't know why. So why not incorporate some of these digits here?How?
The 3 instruments are each playing on their own MIDI channel (3, 1, 4) and start their sequence on beats 3, 1 and 4 (out of 8 - I'm really using a 4/4 signature, but running clock at 160 to 245bpm, double speed, hence as if it was 8/4).
-
@ianthetechie@fosstodon.org Glad to hear that the spacing matters to native speakers too! And thanks for suggesting “wall clock time”—it's a very clear alternative.

The classic Roland TR909 (in form of the Behringer RD9 Rhythm Designer clone) not only drove the percussions, but was also played as a live instrument.
Only 2 basic patterns were programmed and all variations through the length of the recording are done by adding / removing certain beats, muting/unmuting parts and controlling the volume.

There is something about telephony that is inherently tied to electronic music (if for nothing else, due to Kraftwerk). Specifically I used some sounds that are typical of the telephone system, such as a POTS ringtone marking the first beat of each bar. And as you listen, you'll find the intro and ending also fully embrace the theme (and there's clearly a clin d'oeil to #kraftwerk )
