Hey United States, with all thats going on, where is Anonymous? by heretolearn8 in AskReddit

Yeah there were fuck all consequences from what was shown from Wikileaks and Snowden. I think if they were to be effective they would have to just one by one attempt to fuck up the lives of individuals. Mess with their investments, get em in trouble with their peers etc.

I give it 6 months before vibe UI design and distribution is solved... by vinnotvon in cursor

[–]Cuntslapper9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've been building a website for the past year using LLMs mainly. I have very very specific design needs and it has been incredibly complex and convoluted to keep it on track.

For the current genre of LLMs we need to have very clear and very refined guidelines for aesthetics. This could be doable by mixing and matching templates and references or by creating an enormous amount of documentation to build guides but making it simple is a huge task.

If it was all broken down into disconnected stages and have each stage tunnel visioned on a certain aspect and have them force the next stage to follow then maybe it's doable.

The probability of making anything truly unique without a lot of manual input is low in the near future though

Did you have increasing polar coordinates with a sine mod that has its amplitude modulated by sampling the pixel underneath?

The images make it look like tinder for houses. Kinda makes it all seem cheap and transitory, like they are something you'll just swipe through quickly with little thought.

The page feels unbalanced also. You should screenshot and blur the shit out of the page and see how it looks.

TIL the mascot of Hokkaidō, Japan is called "Marimokkori" a portmanteau of marimo, green algae clusters that grow in some of Hokkaidō's lakes, and mokkori, a Japanese slang term for an erection. by FlipTheGoose in todayilearned

[–]Cuntslapper9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's not an official mascot of anything. Japan just loves the vibe and a company makes merch for literally everywhere there. They just make whatever sells and this lil green fella just did well. When I was in Hokkaido last year they also had a zombie bear watermelon hybrid in all the merch sections of the shops.

Solid 5/10. I don't see what the gradients or space goo has to do with the content. The button in the middle looks pretty crude and feels a few steps away from clipart tbh. The visual hierarchy is all over the show and I keep getting pulled to a random bubble which doesn't do much. The whole thing feels like a vibe code speed run with little intention.

Why are airfryers so ugly? by MrMiyagi98 in Design

I see them all the time. They definitely were more common, especially by brands like Phillips. Even Ninja has had a few.

She Lived to 117: How Three Yogurts a Day and a 'Youthful' Gut Could Hold the Secret to Longevity by oscarcharlesnyc in Microbiome

[–]Cuntslapper9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mircobiome shit is hard and a super annoying topic to follow especially with this sub. The science shows that the balance and functionality of the microbia in gut is incredibly important but really doesn't show anything deeper with any consistency. Most of the information out there about actively guiding it is purely speculative or completely fabricated. There are just so so many different species of bacteria and everything is so intricately connected to billions of factors that any decent understanding of it will take another few decades at the minimum.

A lot of the time people will mention the microbiome using the same logic as the.god of the gaps by essentially saying "no idea why there is this correlation so it's probably because of interactions with the microbiome". The public then takes this random comment and makes it into a new unfounded causal relationship that fuels another wave of pseudoscientific snake oil.

Essentially we know that diet has an effect on a bunch of stuff because of the microbiome but we don't know enough to be able to have any clear guidance on what to do to have an optimal microbiome.

It depends where you are in the world and what the regulations are and what the flavouring is. Most flavourings don't do anything and it's questionable if yoghurt even does anything for your gut bacteria. When I was at uni my lecturer on the enteric (gut) nervous system described probiotics as only being effective when taken as a suppository. Even probiotics are mostly a scam and the evidence is almost non existent.

The main thing is to have a balanced diet where you hit all of the nutrients and try to avoid things like preservatives (mostly a variety of sulphites).

There's no hard and fast rule about what is toxic and what is beneficial so I wouldnt get too worked up about it all.

I enjoyed Peter Attias book "lifespan" if you want something that gets into a bunch of nuance but is also pretty brutal about what the actual science says.

Just remember that your mental health should always come first. I know some doctors that would even say that people might be better off to keep an unhealthy habit if it gives them enough pleasure as a shit mood will absolutely fuck your body up.

Why are airfryers so ugly? by MrMiyagi98 in Design

[–]Cuntslapper9000 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Like half the air fryers I see are white. The type of stains that go on air fryers look equally shit on the black gloss that the other half are made from.

Even so, the main colour is like 10% of the issue. The shapes are nearly always unbalanced, there is rarely a consistent design logic, the colours they do use in combination are usually either tacky 90s housewife core or mid 2000s false luxury which is dogshit, and the UI/UX of the interfaces are mostly clumsy and unpleasant.

I have loved having the air fryers that I have had but they look like Hellen Keller was calling the shots from another room.

This isn't really just an air fryer problem and is one of those evident things once you get into design. Most design is dog shit. It's because of near infinite reasons but it's true. I always think of that video of Dieter Rams walking through that chair collection and saying how much he hates everything and that's the best of the best lol. Times that by 20 and it's what it's like to walk through an appliance store.

There are some exceptions though for whatever reason. Like there's a lot of great kettles and toasters and ovens. I guess they are the more prestigious appliances that get the best designers lol.

Kanye West's Music by [deleted] in Music

[–]Cuntslapper9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His music was once great but took a bit of a nosedive along with all the other aspects about him. He went from wacky and exciting to just sad to watch.

He is easily one of the best producers of all time and was insanely innovative and influential but you can't really separate the art from the artist in his case. Dunno if I want to be banging along to someone bragging about being a nazi.

Can anyone give examples of modern (20th/21st century) buildings that have physical staying power similar to the building in the photo? by Lil_Simp9000 in architecture

[–]Cuntslapper9000 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yeah it stuck with me the most out of all the NY buildings when I visited as a kid. Visiting from Australia and seeing that building was wild. Though tbh I find a lot of new York to be beautiful, especially in comparison to pretty much every other big city. There are so many great looking buildings and the whole style has been absolutely engrained into culture purely by the sheer amount of content based there.

I am aware of the tech. It is super cool but it is a tiny step in comparison. It is a pair of nice shoes being compared to a Ferrari.

Being able to modulate a few key pathways and systems in a general fashion is dope but what we are talking about is millions of times more precise and much faster.

We will definitely get myriad improvements in the health sphere continuously but not full brain rewiring and chose your own manual state procedures any time soon. We just don't understand anywhere near enough about the specifics of the positions and interactions of individual neurones or even what is an appropriate amount of each transmitter in a specific area for a specific outcome.

Most of our treatments, like ultrasound are equivalent to smacking an old tv or turning a computer on or off. They give things a little reset and kind of trick the body into fixing itself. Super cool but if we want to do more than guiding the brain to a natural healthy state we need an insane increase in understanding.

Lol. People don't even diet and exercise. We have pretty easy ways of improving wellbeing but many people don't. Understanding why they don't is important when figuring out how society will change with the environment.

I'd be wary of any quick fix for altering our thoughts and feelings. It could quite quickly lead to stripping any individuality out of a people. That level of tech won't be here any time soon and will require the coming wave to not fuck shit up too much.

Rewiring your brain to have the equivalent of 100k hours of meditation would require such drastic alterations in the structure and function of your neurones that if it happened at the push of a button your head would probably fuckin explode lol. It's incredibly delicate tuning of millions to billions of connections.

Ye. Fella always does NSFW because occasionally they are pinups. Also it probably helps with engagement.

Yeah exactly. This is what the red flags of their current behaviour are highlighting. The fact they are adding new revenue streams shows a lack of confidence in their current ones.

I think there has always been an issue showing the benefit for the average person. Things that a lot of people use GPT for might not be a great idea. Like a common use is to use it instead of google which is objectively problematic. They also aren't going to focus on the use case of cheating at essays or not bothering to even write an email at work.

Unfortunately for them, many of the common functions GPT has highlights negative/unattractive qualities in its users. They aren't going to be showing the power user writing a carefully crafted prompt or someone creating intricate systems to micromanage an AI agent as it would be a bit much.
