Artwork

But… why… Why rewrite/redo what already works, is marvelous, and is overly customizable, safe, and convenient…
Why not do something more important and valuable? Is that to just burn funding into void?

Since this “AI” events on Firefox, I reconsidered my stance for Firefox 4th time now, and installed another browser.
Likely as you, I did also donate montery, and 2 people I know did, too. I also donated to Thunderbird.

Why disturb, devalue, obliterate the history of all the contributors, too… This is… just freaking incredibly sorrowful… like someone tries to annihilate it… to darken, damage a miracle…

No, sorry. Never. I believe in mind training and development, human discussions, attribution, contribution, and discoveries for human work, imagination, achievements, and scientific miracles.

You? You do you with your LLM.

Wonderful day! May I ask what is the reference to your blog written via LLM?

Thank you very much for the care and response! I’ve followed the idea @hector@lemmy.today shared, and hope to receive a response from Reddit, eventually. I wish you a great and safe day!

Thank you very much for sharing about the /r/ShadowBan Community! I’ve read their pages, and the tutorial regarding appealing, and it the form at /appeal does indeed offer a field for submission!

Previously, I used the second appealing method, likely powered by ZenDesk. but no response. Yet, it is the first time I used the aforementioned form, and I hope to receive response eventually!

Regarding the ban-evasions (multiple accounts, Emails), I had a quite sorrowful case with it on Freenode/Libera IRC, where an operator (I would name them… but won’t - it feels impolite, since they are not here), had been banning me for literally unknown reason at least 8 times in a few months, and for weeks, in the channel #linux. I’ve been in this channel since at least 2007, and these bans not only caused me much worries, but I just tried to realize the reason. I wrote them in private - nothing.
Here, I a created new account at Freenode, they banned me, too (Linux Community prohibits “alts”). I created another, and got a network K-line. Created another - got another K-line, and here I damaged my reputation in the channels who saw the K-line on the network, to such a low level I still try to recover. And when you try explaining the matter, it gets only worse…

Just a few believe you on IRC if you get K-lined. After a year of making a mental pause< I re-joined, and got almost instantly ridiculed by another member who recalled me being “banned so many times”, yet what I could do? No one listened to me and no one believed I had no idea why that operator was banning me in the first place, including other operators.

What is interesting is that this operator is not an operator anymore the last time I checked, though 4 years have passed since.

Regardless… Thank you, and please do stay safe, too! 🛡

I never got a response from Reddit regarding my account unknown state, too - https://www.reddit.com/user/serious_angel

I’d been using that account for years, and I can use it, and I do now. I do comment, vote, save bookmarks etc.

I’ve tried contacting the official Reddit via Email, and their automation tells to write them using the website form. I tried that too, at least 8 times over 4 recent years - no response. Never.

After several attempts, I tried sending messages to moderators in general Communities like /r/Laravel or /r/AskReddit, and I received response from them only, in a built-in chat, but when I try responding back - Error. Their response was to contact the official support, obviously.

Meanwhile, the account is marked as “banned”, if I am not mistaken, yet I never ever did anything to get banned in the first place I believe. I awarded other comments with money, purchased “NFT” avatars, so I contributed monetarily to the platform, too.
It just, all of a sudden, got “banned”, and for literally unknown reason. Again, I got that after years, too! No message from Reddit regarding it I found ever, and to a popular M

People don’t even see my comments, and I had been commenting for at least a year before even realizing no one sees them! I accidentally noticed that when tried surfing to my account via “incognito mode”, and since then I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong - yet no response:

It’s all unseen (for others)	My current profile	Frequent errors

Ineffably magnificent…

There are some… of course, but for some reason these are first I recalled at this moment - some bands a military colleague had been listening back in the days, on fields.

The band name is Lyube (Любэ). There’s a YouTube channel, and some of the titles I still recall he listened to:
- А зори здесь тихие-тихие - Любэ;
- Там за туманами - Любэ;
- Комбат- Любэ;

Another song another colleague had been listening to was Чей чай горячей by Чайф.

And though I am not very fluent in Russian (the sense of lyrics in these are quite hard to comprehend, too), rare but tears of these two strong men made me believe these were incredibly significant for them, and represented an unbearable sorrow of any war…

No, thank you. Sorry, never.

Not only that, but the huge probability of mistakes is just deafening. The last time I used LLM was in 2023 someone recommended for a task at paper work, and I got a literal headache in 10 minutes… Since then I never ever will use that sorrow for anything that is not for blackbox pentesting or experimental unverified data generated you may find in medicine or military isolated solutions.

That deafening feel that every single bit of output from that LLM or void machine may contain a mistake no soul is accountable for to ask about… A generated bit of someone’s work you just cannot verify since no source nor human is available… How would you trace the rationale that resulted in the output shown?

Faster? Is that so… Doesn’t verification of every output require even more time to test it and consider stable, to prove it is correct, to stay accountable for the knowledge and actions you perform as a developer, artist, researcher… human?

Your mind is to be trained to do a research, remember, and do not depend on someone’s service to a level of predominance/replacement.
Meanwhile, effort, passion, creativity, empathy, and love, in turn, you carry, supports in long-term.

You may not care now, though, but you do you. It’s your mind and memory you develop.

Thank you! You do you.

No. Absolutely no. You should code with your mind, and stay creative.

Apparently, an unbearable pain and sorrow starts taking over my head, heart, or even mind with soul… whenever I even think about a moment I realize that something I focused on, in order to imagine and try realizing what idea the artist wanted to express, actually, had no human involved in it but void…

This void is not the reason I dignify discovered, nor I will ever want to… this is not the reason I live… Art is between human to pass ideas and love through the universe, I trust…

Thank you… dear Artists… from the very depths of my hear and soul… for you creating miracles… for believing in the infinitely ineffably magnificent… in purpose… in human… in art…

The waves are coming clean…
Crash your breach and roll the tide that dreams…
The tide that dreams tomorrow…
Carry on and cover me…
The storm will come and it brings relief…

Thank you…

Apparently, I’ve never ever considered any LLM serious, convenient, appropriate, similar to Markov’s chain, though those differ, and I disable and uninstall absolutely everything that is LLM related, or alters human effortful works, including programming suggestions, searching, and in any kind of adequate research, in the personal life or everywhere possible since 2021 (and some in 2023), where I had a few months of experimenting with those - enough to consider the time I still have to continue actually learning, discovering, and staying social as much as I can…

Please… Please, in context of such education… instead of investing your priceless, precious, finite life time… into such empty void as unknown output of unknown LLM from unknown dataset of unknown artists… developers… people… Please, instead, please consider to take your time… and try to see the love in someone’s else works, courses, videos, books, articles, schemes, tables, drawings… who would be only heartfelt delighted to know… to know that someone else like you, like themselves… were reaching out for their experience they were gaining for decades and worked hard to prepare it for someone out there… in search… for someone who wishes and tries to create something, to improve the world… to reach for an achievement… to treasure a goal… to invent a miracle…

Since isn’t the following the miraculous purpose to live and contribute to the infinite world? To gain experience by confident, adequate effort, to work towards achievements, to stay responsible as a human, to stay alive… Which is at least: personal contributions published, social interactions, actually felt and considered facts organized by accountable people, self-confidence and miraculous time you invest into learning the human experience published in marvelous works of books, articles, videos, forums, chats - the ineffable magnificence…

There’s use for LLM, including pentesting, medicine and analyzing of unknown and random for the sake of random in scopes of “black-box”, for example, sure, but overly rarely and the fear of malformed facts, unknown sources, disturbed art… will always shadow any presence of such generative technologies, I believe… Yet, shouldn’t technology support you, your mind (i.e. not atrophy it but train and discipline it), your creativity, your ideas, your… existence?

Since isn’t learning from someone else experience is actually important… Isn’t it ineffably magnificent to discover someone’s hard work… Isn’t the process of learning and discovering actually fun!
Isn’t the knowledge that you unique carry valuable… What is the fun, the purpose, otherwise…?

Please consider your confidence, skills, mind, and… your precious time…
