* requiem for a joke: meej's recipes
|
|
|
|
** why unresponsive?
|
|
you know what's a cool thing about nginx? you can just ask it to format its logs in json!
|
|
[zoom out of a monitor in the ash desert, we'll have the burger talking to camera. in the background, we should have a list of the outline?]
|
|
wait, actually, before i get started on this story, let me be perfectly clear: Presently, I cannot prove, that meejiin has ever eaten a baby. ok, right, now that everything is completely unambiguous for everyone, as i was saying:
|
|
[zoom back in]
|
|
my server was getting unresponsive. so i was trying to find a more convenient way to sift through the nginx logs. it logs in json! nginx is so cool.
|
|
ok so let's let's look at the tail of the log, numbering 1 line, with =tail -n 1=.
|
|
#+begin_src bash
|
|
sudo tail -n 1 /var/log/nginx/access.log
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
also, let's beautify that. pipe it to my second favorite command line program, jq.
|
|
#+begin_src bash
|
|
sudo tail -n 1 /var/log/nginx/access.log | jq
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
spaced out and color-coded! look how human-readable! well... not real humans, just us nerds. but still, much more readable than yaml.
|
|
|
|
[strawman] why are we doing this, again?
|
|
right, server is slow, so we want to see what's up by looking through the logs. let's look at a few log messages.
|
|
|
|
so there we have it. we are /constantly/ getting hammered by scrapers to train LLMs. the plagiarism machine has found my gitea. so, unfortunately, we make all the repos private. i just don't have the bandwidth for all these parasites.
|
|
[strawman] so that's it? didn't you mention extreme autotrophy a while ago? isn't this whole thing supposed to be a requiem for a joke?
|
|
|
|
** pieces together
|
|
right. so, on meejiin's stream, she has tangia set up - trained a few voice models to sound like her, and we can get an AI-ass useless nonanswer from "AI Meej".
|
|
they exhibit a few interesting qualities...
|
|
they read the stream title.
|
|
they seem to use prior prompts within stream as part of their context.
|
|
They don't seem to read the rest of chat.
|
|
most fascinatingly... the cybermeejiins seem to get their text from a model that's learned about dead by daylight?
|
|
i don't play DBD, so i can only say it /looks to me/ like it knows what it's talking about. (perfect example of what causes the unstoppable proliferation of the wrongness generator...)
|
|
that would then mean the models are, occasionally, updated with new information from the web. and when i say "the web", apparently that extends to websites other than the half dozen most people consider to be the entire web.
|
|
|
|
now, the last piece: one ongoing joke is to accuse meej of eating babies. i don't know how or why it started.
|
|
|
|
so, a while ago i had an idea for a needlessly long running project of a joke. which, admittedly, would barely be worthy of a partial chuckle.
|
|
|
|
what if i made The Meejiin Wiki, crafted the Lore, and then got AI Meej to provide a recipe for baby?
|
|
** process
|
|
so, we grab dokuwiki - my favorite solution for a self-hosted wiki.
|
|
we fill out all of the actual lore we know.
|
|
we notice that that's essentially nothing, so we try to rope the rest of the community into filling it out. that doesn't take.
|
|
and now, we gaslight the robots.
|
|
we google "veal recipes", find some article that's either ai generated or written so badly that it might as well be. we find and replace "veal" with "baby".
|
|
and then... we wait 6 months.
|
|
** result
|
|
[show it not working]
|
|
experiment failed. damn.
|
|
|
|
so what went wrong? I was unable to shift the bots' focus.
|
|
a url that includes "wiki"? vegetables. a subdomain named "gitea"? candy.
|
|
I checked in every couple of weeks, the bots are still hoping that one day their brother jenkins will drop a pull request into a repo for a video that's already done and they can finally bring it back to sam so he can make openAI profitable... they don't have time to keep up to date with in-jokes.
|
|
zero.
|
|
whimsy.
|
|
don't tell your ai girlfriend that the terminator unintentionally cracked a fucking joke or two and we still don't mourn him getting melted.
|
|
|
|
so the wiki is still up. meaning what happened instead is that i have become the de facto lorekeeper of the community, and i don't know any of the lore.
|
|
arguably, that's funnier.
