Sometimes I just look at this photo of when people had to enjoy the local canal (not optional).
Blackout poetry exists on a dual axis from "banal" to "insightful" on the input side and "kind of deep" to "incredibly fucking dumb" on the output side, and while taking something banal and producing something kind of deep is well and fine, for my money taking something insightful and rendering it incredibly fucking dumb is where the real art is.
#i stuck the word 'banal' in there twice specifically so that 'anal' would be low hanging fruit#but i genuinely did not anticipate 'banana' --@prokopetz

walking down the street with my 250 year old transgender elf gf and the other elves are glaring at her whispering cradle snatcher... predator... creep... and she grips my hand a little tighter, I wordlessly squeeze her hand back and stretch, revealing the handle of my dark killing blade, and they swiftly scatter and hide in their homes. she smiles, and I swear to you, she's more radiant than the sun, more precious than life itself, and she tells me "you're so widely feared for someone your age,"

terrifying thought that people might be permitted to live near transport infrastructure
The sweeping expansion would dramatically increase the total number of activity centres from 60 to 210, essentially turning almost every train station in Melbourne into a high-density housing zone.
sentences that make the homies come
It has already faced fierce backlash from some councils and residents’ groups, which have accused the government of a centralised power grab that erodes local communities’ say over high-rise developments.

bratty succubus girl + her old driver's license proving she is legally an adult
THIS WAS A GOOD BIT I WORKED RLY HARD ON THAT DRIVER'S LICENSE,,,,,,,
At 1 PM on a Friday I get an email from my boss. I'm busy as hell so I don't check it immediately. Then I get a phone call from my boss, which has almost never happened before. I'm a white collar worker, a historian. There's never a 'historical emergency' requiring a phone call to kick me in the ass and get to work.
The request is so urgent my boss needs it by the end of the work week. Which, y'know, is 5 PM on a Friday. So I have four hours to do it.
It's a forwarded request. Somebody contacted a member of the donation team asking for help, "I need a map from the Vietnam War to use for a presentation." It's somebody she's trying to coax into giving a five figure donation to the museum.
The request was asked to the donation team member, who then emailed my boss, who then emailed and called me urgently.
This map required:
North and South Vietnam in it
All four areas that South Vietnam was divided into for military purposes ('Corps') clearly delineated
Four cities, all of them horrifically misspelled, and only identifiable because I know what battle the requester is asking about (it’s in III Corps on the border with Cambodia) (the requester danced around the battle but I’m knowledgeable enough to identify it)
Has Laos and Cambodia in it
Has the Ho Chi Minh Trail in it
So. I was mad about the 'you have literally four hours to find a map with a lot of requirements.'
I was then mad at myself about finding a copyright free map from Texas Tech University within half an hour, proving her right for asking me to do it.
Then, after I found a map that perfectly met the requirements, I was equally amazed, baffled, and horrified when I read further into the forwarded email chain.
The donation team team member they were speaking to used AI to generate a map.
The above put half of North Vietnam in South Vietnam, made the Ho Chi Minh Trail a country, made 60% of Cambodia part of South Vietnam, put the DMZ extremely high up in North Vietnam, completely disconnected the southern tip of Vietnam, misplaced all of the Corps zones, etc etc
At the very last second the donation team member had a moment of divine clarity, remembering there's three historians on payroll to ask for this kind of thing from. So she contacted my boss while saying, "I had fun with this, but I decided I should check for accuracy before I send it to the donor! I need a fact check by the end of the day, then I send it"
My boss, while not the most knowledgeable on the Vietnam War, does know her geography. She took one look, and knew it was so off she called me to tell me how urgent it is that I look at the email and respond
good fucking god, jesus tap dancing goddamn christ, I'm glad I was asked to look at it and then find a real map

just tried to reference the xkcd "today's lucky 10,000" comic but I wanted to explain xkcd first, so I was like "you probably know the one about experts in the field overestimating their audience's familiarity with the subject matter" and uh. he didn't. love me some irony

physicists: think they know enough to be an authority in other fields
chemists: don't think they know enough to be an authority in other fields
biologists: aren't even sure they know enough to be an authority in their own firld
mathematicians: don't understand why you seem to think they'd ever want to leave the beautiful and pure realm of numbers and have anything to do with any other field
mathematicians: a field is a commutative ring where every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse and 0≠1
Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack prey that runs
jesus that is good to know.
Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs. So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying. So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs! The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
AJHHHHFDDGHH SO PRECIOUS
this post just got so much better
THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVOURITE POST
this is emmett and cullen they are best friends
This is the greatest thing I’ve seen all day.
Dogs are truly angels.
so THATS why these cheetah ft dogo pics exist
the anxiety cat
Also! Cheetahs are not in fact classified as big cats, they are simply very large lesser cats, due to the fact that they purr, meow, chirp, and cannot roar. Also many cheetahs have learned to recognize wildlife photographers are friends and not foes, so they will just come up to people and be friendly occasionally as pictured at the top of the chain. Some will even leave their Cubs with photographers to look after while they hunt. So. Yeah. Cheetahs are great
this works because cheetahs are actually fairly social animals, and they look to members of their group for context on how worried they should be about any given Situation. but since cheetahs are also nervous social animals, they can work each other into an anxiety spiral pretty easily over things like “being in an enclosed habitat” and “there’s a guy over there”.
so by introducing a dog as a member of the group, the cheetahs will now look to the dog for context clues on how worried they should be! and the dog Is Not Worried At All, Thanks, so the cheetahs think everything must be chill even if they were personally unsure about it, and they stop being so freaked out about literally everything.
Cheetah: oh god what’s going on how are we feeling weird spotless cheetah
Dog: :) fine, thanks
Cheetah: :) oh, okay
Wasn’t expecting this of all posts to be the first tumblr post I’ve ever seen crest 2mil notes, but I’ll take it

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"
two people using LLMs as intermediaries for negotiating what kinks they want to do without admitting to anything the other person doesn't want to do...
yeah I don't think you need LLMs for that actually, you can just have a system that lets each party rank activities based on their level of enthusiasm/reluctance and then recommends activities of mutual interest, solving the Abilene problem (where nobody really wants to do something but they end up doing it because they thing somebody else does):
although it's vulnerable to the Tinder problem of saying yes to everything to reveal the other party's preferences / saying no to everything to avoid revealing your own preferences, so it requires a degree of trust and vulnerability.
where an LLM might become more useful is when you want to offload more agency for telling you to do the things you already want to do to a neutral third party, a dungeon master if you will, potentially to solve the opposite of the Abilene problem where everyone wants something that nobody is willing to take the lead on:
(not everything can be solved this way of course!)
this system would start out similar to the above, describing various activities in confidence to the LLM, not to discover the zone of agreement with someone else but for both of you to be directed by the LLM instead of each other, to achieve what you both want.
there's more to say about that in relation to the fetishisation of performance and audience (if you are being directed by the LLM are you performing for the LLM? is it watching??) and I expect we may hear more about that in the years to come!
(Wikipedia's private set intersection example is absolutely *misleading* so I am not linking it, but "do we both like fentplay?" can certainly be done without even thinking about qubits, e.g. with a write-only trusted third party or cryptographic hashes)
Moving on! The feasibility of LLM as virtual dom depends, in part, upon whether the sentience (let alone anthropomorphism) of someone giving orders contributes to what makes them feel like orders (e.g. social microconsequences of noncompliance, the appearance of intent/whim, etc.)
if it doesn't have to be orders, just suggestions, then you can go to a bookstore or board games store and get a sexy card game.
iirc, the write-only trusted third party variation for oblivious transfer goes like
Alice: I know the SECRET VALUES of X and Y. I will sell you a SECRET VALUE for 1 gold coin.
Alice: But only one.
Alice: I will not tell you both secret values because my kink is being cagey.
Bob: I would like to learn one of these SECRET VALUES for sex related reasons. Here is my gold coin.
Alice: Okay Bob. Which SECRET VALUE would you like me to tell you?
Bob: Propriety prevents me from saying, because everyone knows I have a depraved X fetish or a depraved Y fetish, but not both.
Smutty the smut pixie: Hi Alice and Bob, here's some orange ink and some blue ink that I just invented!
Smutty the smut pixie: this ink is completely invisible unless you use the orange spell or blue spell, which I also just invented and nobody knows!
Smutty -> Alice: *gives ink*
Smutty -> Bob (50% of time): psst Bob, memorise this, it's the orange spell for revealing orange ink! *gives spell*
Smutty -> Bob (50% of time): psst Bob, memorise this, it's the blue spell for revealing blue ink! *gives spell*
Smutty the smut pixie: Okay I just gave Bob one of the two spells!
Smutty the smut pixie: *flies into a wall* ouch!
Bob: Hi Alice, I would like to buy the SECRET VALUE of X written in orange ink and the SECRET VALUE of Y written in blue ink.
Alice: ...but what if Smutty gives you the second spell later?
Bob: *pointing* Smutty is dead.
Alice: Oh. Okay, here you go!
Social Microconsequences of Noncompliance and The Appearance of Intent/Whim are two incredible names for amazing bands
