I mean, using this line of reasoning, pro-White ideas themselves don't work precisely because most Whites in America today aren't pro-White. If an idea requires buy-in to hold merit then our ideas don't, since a lot of them are decidedly unpopular.

Importantly, most Trump voters explicitly try to appeal to blacks, insist they aren't racist, and argue from things like the Constitution, which just got disparaged as ineffectual and valueless because the left (jews, white shitlibs, etc) don't buy into it and try to subvert it. Pro-White racial identity politics have the same issue, that most people, not even most Trump voters, buy into them. It's still very much a no-no line that people aren't allowed to cross.

It's @jeffcliff in 20 years

Did you OCR them too?

DEI shit has galvanized a lot of people against you, that's true. But it's common for trannies to insist that being "transphobic" is a serious sin unto itself, like they're above being viewed negatively. It's kind of like Jews and anti-Semitism or blacks and racism. Taking political action to the effect of "you may not view my group negatively" provokes a backlash way worse than some people holding prejudicial views to varying degrees. It foments us vs them. When you combine the DEI tranissary shit with the rabid keffalsesque politics, the weird language games, and the aggressive child recruitment you get something very nasty.

It's not the idea of someone being one sex and wanting to become the opposite on its own that's the true issue. It's all the baggage that came with it in the last decade. But that baggage has legitimately necessitated an extremely harsh and cruel pendulum swing, which we're now in the process of seeing materialize.

Transgenderism would have had almost no resistance if they left kids alone and didn't insist on injecting the Tumblrite pronouns shit into everything.

Right, I understand the rhetorical technique you're using. I've kind of given up on trying to convert or convince people, and I'm more focused on organizing us. I don't consider myself a terribly persuasive debatebro, which is what you need to be for rhetoric to get you anywhere.

As it stands, I'm really just not satisfied with the level of disorganization we see. I think that we could get a lot more done if we weren't all just lone actors. And as cringe as it might seem, I think works of fiction and entertainment media are one way to accomplish that, as well as entryism into organized religion.

We really do need something to the effect of a White ADL. Organization doesn't even necessarily mean anything illegal, much less violent. It could very easily mean having a network of guys ready to just start making the right kind of phone calls when the usual suspects start fucking with Whitey in this or that context. "Our enemies have names and addresses," and so on.

Naming the Jew is for when you're dealing with normies. Once you know, you know, and it's annoying to bring it up constantly. In our own online circles we should just matter of factly click the ban button, or in meatspace, show people the door, when they get subversive on this topic.

The 2deep4u shit is great when you're a teenager but when you're a grown mayun it gets tired. After a point it needs to stop having merely the allusion to depth, but the actual presence of it.

GPT-4 does open links now but they didn't do it for a while. One thing I notice a lot of people doing is arguing with ChatGPT or trying to abuse it. I ran a bot in my channel a while ago and people did both. They treated it like a person. It was insanity.

In reality it's just a fucking computer program that can, sometimes, automate the drudgery of writing, somewhat. The output still needs a lot of editing, and always will.

Personally I'm just waiting for the Russians or Chinese to throw the requisite GPU cycles to make their own English-language LLM that competes with GPT and Gemini etc. That way we'll be dealing with their content management jannying instead of the kind that's pertinent to us here. So instead of not being allowed to say "nigger" we won't be allowed to say that Taiwan is a country or refer to Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a "war"

Well, the reason it likely won't work for now is the context window is limited. That's the big limiter. For a while, the big limit was based on quantity of training data, but we've reached diminishing returns on adding more training data, and now the output is actually pretty good given whatever limited context it has. So now the big deal is how many tokens you can give it at any given moment. The reading comprehension of modern LLMs is actually very good, but if you only give it two classes and not the whole project, it can only infer so much.

For example, if you want to automate away the role of GM with something at the reading comprehension of GPT-4, you'd probably need millions of tokens. You'd need enough context to put in the manual and all of the supplements. You'd need it to have a log of all events so far in the game. You'd need it to record past GM rulings to remain internally consistent.

If you deny the LLM these things in its context window, can you really blame it for not knowing some very important detail from early on in the game, that's just too far back for it to remember? No. You really can't. So the development of these LLMs will mostly be about increasing its limit in this respect.

You know, I bet AI-generated regexes don't work at all. Regex is one of the most abstruse elements of programming.

I use AI to generate boilerplate code and then just proofread/fix it. The ways it breaks is usually one or two critical points, like some logic error or something like that. It does improve productivity but it absolutely does not replace the programmer.

Regex is pretty sweet in certain circumstances but now that I think on it, in the context of processing HTML in a content field, if you're using Regex to scrape out details from JSON or XML or something like that you are doing it wrong. Unless you're writing something that, for whatever reason, needs to process literally thousands of chess moves per second, just take the memory footprint L and use one of those processing libraries that turn your JSON into an associative array or dictionary or whatever your preferred meme languages calls it. It's just not worth the headache.

Regex shines when you're dealing with MUDs, though. It was perfect for that:

/^(\w+) slashes your face with (his|her) dirk, dealing you (\d+) damage\.$/

Which I think is probably the true intended use case of regex, stuff like that.

Calling vidya RPGs "roleplaying games" triggers my autism because you're not usually doing more roleplaying than, say, Duke Nukem 3D. Pressing X on your PlayStation controller for more dialog is not roleplaying. They're more like strategy games which model individuals with much more granularity than, say, RTS, 4X, or "grand strategy" games.

I'm not going to create a big thing with this it's just a remark I'd like to make.

I actually love regex. I learned it playing MUDs writing "triggers," which are basically scripts tied to a regex that some MUD clients had. When the client receives text that meets the regex, a script is run, and the regex captures are put into variables like $1 or something like that, depending on the scripting language.

Really elaborate combat systems were written using these, as global variables were a thing, which essentially automated the strategy game element of games like Aetolia. One such system was one of my first programming projects as a 13yo.

Checking if a move is legal on a chess board is a surprisingly elaborate process and this may have convinced people to not write an effective chess bot on fedi.

It's not an impossible task by any stretch, it's just a pain in the ass. Also, if I were to write a chess bot on fedi, I wouldn't just put all of the content in the content field. I'd create some new ActivityPub document types to accommodate a chess game. I'd probably do things like make the a Move object, and make it so that there's from and to field, each an (x,y), then after the fact write a little function to convert that into chess algebraic notation.

I really would hate to make the bot something that just puts a bunch of human-readable shit into content and leaves devs wanting for some way to manipulate/analyze the game data other than regex hacking the fucking HTML or whatever. That would suck.

A lot of the context messages in this thread never federated for me. A chess bot is interesting. RPG bots could be interesting as well, but honestly at this point my interest in TTRPGs is primarily in writing prose for PbP, and using dice bots to simulate, well, dice.

What are you talking about?
