immediately after the paragraph about totally figuring out the glue pizza situation they admit that sometimes the LLM just won't work and sometimes it'll generate bullshit
<kris_>
and luci is kind of awful
<midfavila>
but if this is for a noob then they won't know it's bullshit
<midfavila>
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
<sewn>
hi mid
<midfavila>
hello sewn
<midfavila>
kris_: luci can be annoying
<kris_>
less annoying and more straight up bad
<kris_>
a theme might fix it, the main problem for me is just how disorganized it is
<midfavila>
tbh i prefer it over pfsense or whatever's interface
<kris_>
WHAT
<kris_>
I REBOOTED THE FUCKING MODEM AND OFF IT GOES
<midfavila>
linux moment
<midfavila>
well as long as it works now
<kris_>
I'm fucking pissed
<kris_>
I've been tweaking settings for like two hours
<kris_>
alright, I'm going to reinstall openwrt now that I've figured it out as my OCD dictates
<kris_>
so the setup is clean lol
<riteo>
midfavila: yea I've been looking at ai-related news for a while and not the "nice" kind
<midfavila>
honestly the more i look at everything going on in the world the less i want to have anything to do with the web and social media and like
<midfavila>
people involved with either
<midfavila>
i swear to god the only computer anything that the average person should have should be a desk calculator
<midfavila>
the effect the tech sector has had on broader society has been fucking cancerous
<riteo>
nah, people should have more than a desk calculator, it's phones that are turning people dumb, and for reasons completely unrelated to social media, unlike what the boomers thing
<midfavila>
social media is absolutely part of the problem
<riteo>
depends what problem
<riteo>
people don't know what a file is mid
<riteo>
that's not a social media thing
<midfavila>
i have to use facebook at work and i seriously can't go two pages without people screeching at me about immigrants
<midfavila>
yes i know that's a stupid thing
<midfavila>
i'm more concerned about the fact that facebook and twitter etc place enormous control over what people think into the hands of billionaires
<riteo>
meh
<riteo>
tv was before that
<midfavila>
TV had far more regulation
<midfavila>
and tends to be more insular
<midfavila>
there's no "algorithm"
<midfavila>
just a catalogue of channels
<midfavila>
on twitter, you get shit shoved in your face whether you want it or not, because elon said so
<riteo>
yeah it's definitely more granular
<riteo>
I'd argue that, surprisingly, it's one of the lesser problems nowadays and that's a fucking awful problem
<midfavila>
i really honestly am gonna have to 100% disagree with you
<riteo>
fair
<midfavila>
people are fucking insane now and it's in large part because of narrative control
<riteo>
I've completely dissociated myself from this stuff so you definitely have a clearer view about the issue
<riteo>
I can't even stand TV go figure
<midfavila>
like everything else that goes on is directly downstream from this
<riteo>
btw I'd love to keep discussing about this but I gotta go to do something terribly important
<riteo>
it's related to the out-of-the-house scare
<midfavila>
we've gone from pretty much everyone understanding that climate change is a thing and also an issue to the governments of the world celebrating CO2 as being good for agro
