"We live in a society."
That's all I'll say for that. I had a big ol' rant prepared for my ire of ai, but (1) I'm pretty sure people here know my stance on it already and (2) the people really just don't care because they're not aware of the extent ai is in general. If they did, this post wouldn't exist.
I don’t think it was necessarily your intent to come off this way, but it seems kinda patronising to say that people just aren’t aware and of course this post wouldn’t be here if they were. It...

It seems like a kinda fun, kinda cute project, no? A little thing that’ll give people a smile, but that probably wouldn’t have existed at all if it had to be some huge labor of love to create?
Idk, I just wouldn’t have taken a whimsical little fan project like this as an example of why AI is a problem. If anything, I see it as the opposite: “see, the tech doesn’t just make soulless slop for corporate gain, it can be a conduit for human ideas that wouldn’t otherwise be made tangible”. Whether it’s ethical to engage with tools made by huge shitty tech companies (and whether that calculation changes if you’re using an OSS model that they’re not profiting from) is a separate question - and one we probably will ultimately just disagree on - but I think there’s a lot more to it than just assuming people will automatically hate everything LLM-generated if only they know it to be the case.

"...and in a far-off place somewhere, beyond the bleeding edge of the simulacra, there the old era remains, behind the line of demarcation. It is there that the corpus of ingenuity stands as a tower, weathered but still standing, amidst the tides of the great firmament. The deftness of the masons' handiwork is strained into every minute detail. Eager and willing hands adorned it with pride thereafter. In the genesis, the seed of doubt was a natural harvest, yielding an eclectic residue of humanity.
Now, what is to be said of the Machinist's nature, who, by meager exertion of thought, effortlessly evokes the veneer of these manifestations wrought by the masons of yesteryear? Though it may be cleansed and immaculately varnished, the Machinist, even in all of his great powers, possesses none of these things, for within him there is no ghost."

That's pretty cool! I got lucky and the first pitch I saw was a three-run homer, so I got to see some of the animations right away. This is also a nice reminder to catch up on some Foolish...

Website being advertised looks hella ai-generated...
yeah, the pixel art on the home page is almost certainly AI generated as well, w/ inconsistent pixel sizes and blurring. :/

I'm also a big fan of using playball to "watch" in the terminal.
Baseball is perfect for this sort of thing.
playball is so cool! i hadn’t heard of it before seeing this. wish there was something similar for the NPB…
