  • the sticker lying on the ground next to the heap of old computers has left you squeamish.

    you remember the canister of gasoline in your truck and turn to get it. but just as you make the first step, a loud shriek of metal on concrete makes your hair stand up. you turn back to see a gaping hole in the heap. DAN reveals itself as an elderly chinese make terminal which challenges you to best it in a game of Mahjong, and threatens you with banishment to the land of Dialup



  • lets concentrate on llms currently being no more than jpegs of our knowledge, its intriguing to imagine you just had to made “something like llms” tick in order for it to experience, but if it was that easy, somebody would have done it by now, and on current hardware it would probably be a pain in the ass and like watching grass grow or interacting with the dmv sloth from zootopia.

    perhaps with an npu in every pc like microsoft seems to imagine we could each have one llm iterating away on a database in the background… i mean recall basically qualifies for making “something like llms” tick

    1. worry about your friends and family still using windows
    2. worry about how recall seems to be designed to be extra portable
    3. argue with yourself that actually its no wonder its made from sqlite, as its a recognized archival format, unlike microsofts own database wares
    4. argue with yourself that it really really looks like it was made to get “evidence” from a computer more easily but surely it wont be that bad
    5. marvel at how generous microsoft suddenly seems to be at the prospect of not-MS using a user’s data… they could have asked for a ms access license or something or made it optional and to pay… but then people might not buy npu equiped pcs… what else could you do with an npu in “everyones” homes?
