I wanted raw inference API access. A curl script and nvim wasn't enough, too much hassle just to see the <think> tokens and being able to edit them

If you use a UI over these, you cannot edit the reasoning. It says "not supported". Why is it not supported? Who knows. It's just a fucking string dude.

Anyway. I explained this in detail to the clanker and told it to implement the v1/completions API. Foolish as I am, I forgot that the geniuses at openAI named the successor API v1/chat/completions.
So of course it got confused

I told the AI multiple times that I want a fucking string buffer on the screen and just to append to that, and in the background, unbeknownst to me, it built a fucking dictionary, a parser, multiple roles. All that to just fucking concat it to a single string in the end, making the whole thing pointless.

This balooned the code up to 10x the size it had to be though. What a waste of time

Holy shit people aren't being good managers to their clanker slaves and the entire thing falls apart holy shit wow imagine this happening with a real person oh wait a LLM is a perfect midwit so it would be the exact same

Watched this today, or, I listened to it while I was working, but I caught most of what he was saying. I've seen a few other videos he's made.

It got me to thinking about something. I have several old computers that I run just to play around with. Some are pre-Windows DOS machines that I play with to see how much modern-ish stuff I can do on them.

You remember how they trained that AI last year to convert images into the studio ghibli style? I wonder if you could train one to convert websites into a stripped down version so that old hardware and software could display them. I think the error old browsers run into is they can't handle ssl and tls, not that I know what those are, but they complain about them on most urls.

Oh, yeah... As it turns out, LMMs love to add links they’ve made up themselves, and it seems that APIs they’ve invented are the next step in their development. My condolences: as a multimedia producer, I know what a brain freeze feels like too... (In my opinion, brain freeze is a common problem for many people who process text on computers—text just burns your brain, seriously, it takes way too long to work with!)
