CSSON - CSS as a data format https://github.com/crowdwave/csson

I made a utility that backs up/images a cloud Linux server by unmounting the root disk and snapshotting it.

I made my own firmware for the little AI assistant esp32s3 AI balls you can buy from Ali Express. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008627679270.html

Made a version of Infocom adventure frotz player to work with voice control on the AI ball so I can play Planetfall using voice control.

Made a toast alerter for Linux terminal command line.

Made a thing to alert you when someone signs in to a Linux server.


“I can’t tell you that, you might hurt yourself.”

I feel like the author isn’t aware of the Anthropic fixed price subscriptions, any of which can give you a lot of home AI programming.

It’s just another anti AI rant this time focused on the fixable problem of AI tending towards the average.

This will get sorted out in time and in the meantime, instruct the LLM away from averaged answers. It’s not a problem.

If you do not want images that have that instantly recognizable AI style to them - busy, perfect, bright colors pseudo realistic, outside what humans would usually make - then instruct the AI that such images are a failure to meet your goals and instead instruct them in other directions.


How do you see it getting sorted out over time?

The LLM developers have a huge amount of money and development resource and in time they’ll do things that make the outcomes better which means being less monotonic and more creative and original.

You can do it today just by prodding the LLM correctly so it’s not hard for the LLM devs to do in an organized way.

The future of AI/LLMs will include the development of distinct personalities and behavior characteristics instead of the generic interface to an AI brain that is an averaged monotone.


There should be no restrictions at all.

It’s an act/theatre/phony today that regulating output makes any difference at all to security.

The LLM vendors should simply say that they make no judgement and that open systems help defenders better defend against attackers, which is true.

Companies do this sort of stuff when they think their customers have no choice. It’s sad Claude so quickly exploited its success to enshittify itself.


Nothing to do with price.

Claude actually works - unless OpenAI can do that it would make no difference if it was free.

It works unbelievably well actually - it’s truly amazing.


Codex also works, before Opus 4.8 and Fable it wasn't very clear who had the best agentic model.

Stupid security theater. The only thing that makes sense would be zero restrictions.
