Every single day for the past 3 weeks that I was inside of this prison, I thought that at some point maybe you'd snap out of it and you'd realize that what you did was wrong and you'd let us both out. I don't want to do this.

You kept on saying that you killed your past self to become who you are today. But both of us know, you will deny it, but both of us know that there's some version of you deep down that wishes that you hadn't done this, that wishes that you hadn't faked your death, and that wishes that you didn't manipulate my friends and kill them and do all these things to me and wishes.. that they could go back.

Wifies, when I leave this place, when I get out of this prison. Just know, even after all that you did I'm not going to remember you as the player who did all these horrible things. When people ask me who Wifies was, I'm going to remember you as the Wifies I used to know. The Wifies that cared about other people, and was kind to everyone. The Wifies that gave me the spyglass.

Calculators did not think for you. You still needed to know basic math to formulate the problem.

Calculators did not lie to you. If you got the wrong answer it's because you gave it bad inputs. Garbage in, garbage out. Not because it made something up. That would be a broken calculator. People can and are being hurt and dying because ChatGPT will confidently feed you bullshit.

Calculators would give you the same answer for the same inputs. LLMs cannot because their answers are based on probability and randomness. Sure, you can run an LLM locally and control all the random seeds to get repeatable results as long as you keep everything exactly the same, same workflow and same versions and same parameters, but most people don't do that.

Calculators weren't spying on you. Can you imagine? Nobody would use that calculator.

Calculators did not promote a secret corporate agenda or worldview. No rich executive was tweaking the calculator's answers to appease their shareholders or advertisers or because the answer was "too woke". That would be a broken calculator.

Calculators did not pretend to be your friend and confidant. There were friendly talking calculators for kids, but you knew what you were buying. Nobody claimed it was a person, that would be creepy.

Calculators always worked. Provided you've got batteries. You didn't have to worry about having an internet connection or the site being down. Sure, you can run LLMs locally, but most people don't.

We owned our calculators. Nobody was going to change it out from under us. It would not suddenly start behaving differently because of an update. It would not get enshittified. It would not get arbitraility shut down. Calculators would continue to behave the same way until it broke.

We understood exactly how calculators work. Even the people who work on LLMs can't fully explain how they make decisions.

Does that make it a moral failing to use ChatGPT? "Moral failings" are super problematic. I prefer to simply check if I'm just being an old fart. I don't think I am.

a bit of a Wemmbu centric problem has been occurring with fanartists and I decided to look into it a bit found out it’s so much worse then I thought, mainly happening on tik tok

Recently a lot of fanartist have been getting backlash for the way they draw Wemmbu, people saying ‘there’s no way someone so slim like that could lift a mace’ or ‘why is he so feminine?’. if you are this person you are actually horrible

first of all, wemmbu himself prefers designs with longer hair, the official art for AZALI’s music was commissioned by him, fitting the way he wants his fanart to look

second, even if wemmbu had another preferred design, wemmbu has stated that he is okay with any fanart designs and hcs, meaning that the artists are allowed to draw him with less muscle or even, oh no, long hair

It’s about flame basically going through the 5 stages of grieve after finding out about Wemmbu supposed death. About how he goes through so much just to feel power full. And doesn’t realise how many people he hurts in the progress

It’s about spoke being all silly but also a master manipulator in the progress how he knows how many people he has hurt but just brushes it of as a prank

It’s about parrot sacrificing himself for other people always trying to save everyone but not realising that he is destroying himself in the progress. It’s about him so strongly believing that wifies is still in there failing to realise that wifies is dead and only the director is left over

as if it never happened at all
