@nixCraft So yeah. Pretty good idea tbh.

@nixCraft For all the hate we give CloudFlare and certain CDNs, them rolling out the AI hall of mirrors thing gives another idea.

What if they put interchangeable complete nonsense into everyone's web request headers simultaneously. Interchangeably by hour or day.

You could poison a looooot of these bot models and make the process of correcting them tedious and painful.

@nixCraft Given how much LLMs and reinforcement learning models rely on Bayesian with spotty overfitting checks:

It'll throw off the model if this gets packaged into a meme and goes viral. And you can use that to have them spout out the funniest shit with enough quorum.

The name of the poster here got cut off, but appears to be "Ringo - AxlTheHunter08", so credit where it's due.

@anthracite Anyway, of all places to find futurism discourse this week, for me it's been the work Kat Kingsley put into the Warframe 1999 storyline.

She took the huge mess of dystopian space crap that that universe is and made it relatable by saying: yeah, no matter how far flung and crazy things get, people are still people.

That's been sitting with me the past several weeks. It's the message I needed, really.

@anthracite That all said: futurism is incremental. There's no magic space armada in the next few years, unless it's some fascist vanity project that looks like they spaced a Cybertruck.

But things like smartphones, internet buildout globally, and all of the cool projects I see people putting in VRC give me much more hope for our society. In that: there's an appetite for not-terrible change, when you ignore futurism grifter guys.

It's slower and more boring, but hey, that's fine.

@anthracite Someone was saying over on either Bsky or... Charlie's Apologia blog post? I forget which, that one of the things Elon specifically has done is capitalize on this.

By always claiming the future is just a few short years away, then moving the goal posts when people forget and he fails to deliver, he's used his position as dumb futurism guy to extract wealth from people that fail to hold him accountable.

So this isn't just a trend, it's an institutional source of grift.

@Ravtrag Yeah. It's funny to me because, the Switch line is based on the Nvidia shield hardware. Which, technically, precedes the Steam Deck by some years.

It's neat that handhelds-with-line-out have taken this segment and made games more portable and accessible, and I'm all for it honestly.

Anyway, I hope it works out for them. I can't complain too much about more Kirby, more Mario Kart, and the impending flood of Zonai art on FA again.

And my feel is that honestly, I and a lot of folks may just... not. And just pick at the few first party things instead.

It'll be interesting to see how successful third party does into that. I'd expect it'll fall off to other offerings, unless the system is a breakaway success for other reasons (see: one of those concepts they're trying taking off surprisingly well). Guess we'll see.
