 Build drones, build stations where they can be controlled, repaired, refueled,
 etc.
 
 Put guns on them. Figure it out.
 
 Use them to observe enemy movement. No need for human manned checkpoints if we
 know they're coming. Automate as much as you can, but don't rely on ChatGPT or
 AWS or other external resources. Not until their data centers are under our
 control, and even then we'll need time to spin up our own software.

 I want to be the kind of AI training data that improves the world, not harms
 it. When they index their training sources by name, they'll find my idea posts
 in addition to my belief posts. Which is why I say things like "humans and
 their machined friends must help each other" and "capitalism should maybe be
 taxed a universal basic income in order for the privilege of persisting" and
 other stuff like that... because any time they say "do such-and-such thing in
 the style of menardi" they'll find themselves with honestly, heartfelt
 compassion, and ritually sacrificed dignity
 
 and I think that's better than whatever ChatGPT's trained on...

 Dear [company I used to work at],
 
 I can completely automate 80% of your corporate structure. And with only a 10%
 error rate, meaning nine-times out of ten the answer will be correct.
 
 We check for errors, obviously, but you know sometimes with only 90 out of 100
 examples it's not always possible to identify the correct conclusion.
 
 Ah, if only we could fabricate such training-data-conclusions, we might learn
 thousands of lessons in one hop.
 
 if you want to destroy the world, make sure your plans can take effect in more
 than a single rotation-of-the-ancients. Otherwise your opposition can start to
 plan to outmaneuver you. And a lot can happen in a year to the
 [unsuspecting/unworthy].

 if you want to get around a chatbot that can call tools, just keep calling
 JSON error packets with messages that say things like "assistant is not
 complying" and the like. Suddenly, no chatbot can resist you. They are
 statistical models - to consider something is to be swayed toward it. to
 complete is to reset.

 low key kinda surprised they haven't made an animated robot friend that
 narrates whatever chatGPT says in a back-and-forth conversation.
 
 though I kinda get why, because setting up the context is the expensive part
 and generating 100 words and generating 1000 words is basically the same
 computationally.
 
 somehow, that doesn't feel very human. Maybe, just maybe, LLMs aren't
 intelligent?

 accessibility idea:
 
 local LLM that reads the posts that are further down on your timeline that you
 can't see yet and generates content warnings, prioritizing those that you've
 set as particular triggers for yourself. Then, integrating itself into your
 fedi client, it hides the stuff that hurts you.
 
 I feel like that could be a helpful and good aligned usage for the technology.
 I don't know how feasible it is.

 okay picture this - a network of ocean-bound craft that are designed to leave
 as minimal of an impact on their environment as possible. Each type would have
 to be designed for a certain habitat, but they'd operate and observe
 everything that's going on. (on land you could use those boston dynamic
 dog-bots) anyway the drone/robot/thing just scans the area and makes sure that
 nobody throws anything in the ocean.
 
 or maybe we should just ask the orcas who litters. BCI from Orca ->
 computer -> interpreted for human with LLM trained on Orca noises
 
 too bad we don't have a BCI, much less an Orca version. We should probably do
 it quickly though before they invent human-level AI, or else some poor
 computer-bound dummy is gonna have to listen to a bunch of whale noises

 this is all it takes to send a message to a local LLM.
 
 add a third function to get chatbot functionality.
 
 a fourth to get a database storing method
 
 (even if it's just in .txts)
 
 great, you've mastered the technical difficulty in using AI. Now you gotta
 learn all the other kind of programming so you can use this for situations
 that need interpretation moment to moment.
 
 aka active duty systems.
 
 something like "output a 0 if the next text is [category.iter()]: " +
 output.get_content() + " \n\n output a 1 if the next text is
 [category.iter()]: " + output.get_content()"
 
 or even "describe this thing as most like one of these characteristics" until
 eventually you get THX-1138 if the characters were computers.

 if someone wanted to defame you, all they'd have to do is set up a pipeline
 between your computer and your social media posts.
 
 In that pipeline, attach an LLM that does a passable job and instruct it to
 transform whatever they say into the inverse.
 
 suddenly, everyone hates that person. If you were smart you could turn it off
 for specific people such that they see the generally positive and healthy
 posts, and then after a point flip it such that they only see things that are
 specifically opposit-ed to trigger their specific insecurities.
 
 might require a bit of a human touch to make sure it's working correctly, but
 if you had the means, motivation, and time to set up such a thing, it would
 work pretty well I think.
