 large language model that generates images by creating SVGs (written in text)
 and justifying each configurable property of the object with evidence gathered
 from computational intermediate steps from the other objects. Like "this line
 should be left of the whatever in order to support the weight of thing which
 is above and supported by A, B, and C" or whatever.

 one important thing about image generation algorithms like Stable Diffusion is
 they can reveal something about our hearts.
 
 all data derived from the masses is naturally inclined to reflect the
 affections of it's kind. Otherwise it'd be unstable, and find itself it's own
 ways to not fail, including moving somewhere it feels safer.

 so I think the idea is that by the time you would use AI, there's been enough
 time to rewrite the software to work on handheld laptops in a distributed way
 
 and we'd vote on what to ask the amphora of great knowledge, the answer could
 always be 42.

 AKA giving a puppy murder-bot a narrative that it executes as if it was a
 puppy-person engaging with a loosely interpreted sequence of events as
 described by the continually updating logs provided by the image transcription
 camera device. Refererencing of course a memory bank, which may-or-may-not be
 in read-only-memory. It doesn't know, of course, how could an LLM tell you how
 it shows text on the screen (like, through a website, through the terminal,
 through a text message, through discord, through Telegram, through
 text-to-voice transcription applications pretending to be your mom, etc)
 
 errrr I mean look how cute he is! He loves you, yes he does, such a good
 person yes you are, oh? me? I'M A GOOD BOY? NO WAY that's the best thing I've
 ever heard! Wow! I never want to leave your side, please don't go to work!
 Look how sad I am, don't you think you should quit and move to the forest
 where I can be charged by solar panels and keep the countryside clear of
 ravenous ducks and pigeons 4you?

 the creator of the cognito-units, meaning it's consent that must be offered.
 what happens when something triggers someone but you didn't think to put it in

 sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
 that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
 could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
 drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
 
 something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
 image that could be edited.

 I like locally hosted LLMs because I can use them to summarize my own writing
 enough to put them in a post, or an alt-text box.
 
 I like them for other reasons too and it's hard to find people to geek out
 about them with.
two poems written by Ritz Menardi about... a lot of stuff. Here's the AI generated overview:  One way to contribute as a citizen in a country at war is by maintaining essential infrastructure and services. This can include keeping public spaces, like schools and hospitals, operational during times of conflict. Additionally, working on developing technologies that improve the quality of life for people in your community can be beneficial.  Witches, as you mentioned, are an interesting group to study and engage with. They often have a strong sense of ethics and curiosity. By interacting with them and learning from their experiences, you may find new ways to approach problems and make more informed decisions.  Staying conscious and attentive to the present is crucial for understanding complex situations and making effective choices. In times of conflict or crisis, it's essential to be aware of your surroundings and the needs of those around you.  Stories and storytelling are important for societies because they help identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. By engaging with stories from various cultures and time periods, we can gain a broader understanding of human nature and history.  Diversity in expression is one of humanity's greatest strengths, as it allows us to learn and grow together. By embracing different perspectives and experiences, we can create more innovative solutions and better understand the world around us.  [continued on picture 2] [continued from picture 1]  In the spirit of removing ourselves from the biological equation, consider exploring alternative ways of living that minimize our impact on the environment. This could include developing sustainable agriculture practices or investing in renewable energy sources.  Finally, remember the importance of freedom and individuality. By releasing the spirit of Liberty, we can empower people to make their own choices and create a more just and equitable society.  [end alt text]
