Day one of @Bfgreen 's 100 squat a day challenge report: My inner quad heads are friggin done. Roasted. Stairs? Ugh. Standing up? Double ugh. I am not looking forward to day two. Warmup: various rotations to loosen up major joints and get blood moving. I am a crunchy (not woowoo crunchy, you can hear my joints kind of crunchy) and this helps. Workout: 5 sets of: 20x bodyweight full depth wide (but not sumo wide) squats 5x pushups, ish. I have a very long way to go before I can even do 5 full/proper pushups. Each set had a variable rest period as I was doing other stuff in between. I need a long walk tomorrow in the morning before I do this again... This is stupid, but I said I'd do it so I will. #bfgs100sad #squats #crunchy #ouch #ireallyamanidiot

Working out fasted is probably stupid at my lack of fitness level... Ugh. #workout #dumbthingsthebeavedoesbecausehesanidiot

Surprise tacos are best tacos (especially if you don't pay for them!)! #tacos #surprise

Looks like I won't be upgrading my router for a very long time... View quoted note →

Warning: Ignorant ranting ahead. Proceed with caution, several grains of salt, and an understanding that the writer fully knows that he is an idiot and doesn't understand what he is writing about. I am utterly gobsmacked to learn that LLMs cannot recall any of their training data. WTF! Yes, I know this much shock you at how ignorant I can be about this, but . . . This is utterly stupid. All o fthis effort is going into creating a thing that generates . . . whatever . . . based on assumptions of relationship between snippets of truncated information. WTF is actually going on here? This is so utterly stupid I can't even . . . LLMs are worse than retarded. They are poisonously retarded. What is the point of using this technology? I don't want the world being changed by assumptions and vagueness. Why is so much being spent on technology that can't even tell you how it got to the point where you are interacting with it? The people who control what data is being used to "train" these models have to know how stupid all this is, unless they are also delusional themselves. I find the later to be more likely at this point. This isn't "knowledge." I don't have the words to describe this, currently. Matrices of truncated data are not what I want to build anything on. Displacing millions of peoples' livelihood for literal "handwavy BSery" is madness! People PAYING for their own usurpation is even more evil. (If you purchase electricity, you ARE paying for this. If you are building new hardware systems you ARE paying for this. Heck, if you are building new hardware systems with USED hardware, you are paying for this.) Data used to be getting cheaper, and now it is costing people's lives. I don't see any hope left in this most recent opening of Pandora's box. There is not much point left in traveling down the path that this leads to since it is all delusional nonsense. I cannot wait for the infinite money glitch to fail spectacularly. I am correct, in my estimation, to be moving my life in a direction that requires less computing and less electricity, and less electronic connectivity. It will certainly be less convenient in some ways, but it is certainly more robust to spend time building personal skills, systems of actual resiliency, and community.
