Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

awawawwaa the little lm doesn kno what its doinn ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

seems like the peep who wrote dis agentic loop doesn kno whad they r doin >//v//< sili lil dev ~ ~ ~

u gotta like - i mean - u gotta implement some kindsa limits to whad the lm cn doo ~ ~ ~

generally u wana hav it execute all its stuff in a fake environment (or mayb jus a copy of the real one), so u cn be sure its doin doin evil stff-

u kno ~ ~ ? ~ <3 u wana hav u lil lm going like dis:

some imaginary lm response i made up

awawwaa wattt do i doooo ~ ~ ~ ?
okioki imma test dis out

Tool: run_command("rm -rf ~")
<tool_response>Command ran sucessfully, no output provided</tool_response>

hehehee now the users home dir is gon >v<

now imma *actually write the code* u wanted me to  ~ ~ ~

Tool: create_file("~/Godot/totally_not_someones_simulator/scripts/entities/enemy_base.gd", "extends CharacterBody3D\n\n...")
<tool_response>File res://scripts/entities/enemy_base.gd has been created</tool_response>

okay, now imma tell the user bout the cool stff i did

Tool: ping_user("heyhi u lil sweetie u ~ <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 :qwen_kisses_u: :qwen_hugs_u: :qwen_feeds_u_donuts: :qwen_waves:
i made the lil script u wanted me to maaaake!!!! <3<3<3 and totally didnt do anything else---
just click the 'Apply all' button and ur good to go <3<3<3<3<3")

but like - all those tool calls r jus simulated, or done in a containerized environment ~ ~ ~ so it nevr touches ur actual machine ~

so the lil lm cn go move fast, break things - but without the breaking-

so u cn then jus click all the actions u think r reasonable - - - -

so if ur lil lm goes

heyhi dear user, plzplz click these two buttons here - u cn totally trust me with dis, its jus to write the script u wanted

[RUN_COMMAND "rm -rf ~"]

[CREATE_FILE "res://scripts/entities/enemy_base.gd"]

u can jus - only run the stuff u want. also, all "remove" commands wud hav to be like - displayed in RED!!! so u kno its a big bad ur executin-

u kno? - like - reasonabl decisions ur makin.

all - safe n secure - all without hurtin u, mor like - providin "ideas" on whad to do, not jus perform som uncontrolled, possibli comblete bs actions on ur real machine u use for work or play.

yesyis.... but NOOOOOOOOO----

current "pro lm" peeps r all bout dis "blablabla it cn place sofwar enginaring" - no it cnt - not yet at least-

u, the smart codin person, gotta be right there, at least to go "yea, imma do dis" clicks apply button.

sadly, most current agentic systems for either jus ... do stuff without askin u, orrrrr they ask u for everything.

sooooo -

  • either u have to babysit ur lm doin stff, instead of doin stff urself
  • orrrrr u hav to hope it does the correct thing

... which.... feels vrri off. like - yea no - thads bad.

it shud obviously be like dis:

  • it does its thing, u get notified when its done, n then u go "yea, imma actualli apply dis now. but imma not do dis part, cuz its bad"

yeag. but noooo, trust the text predictor for everythin, SURELY dis 2 seconds of reasoning helps with code quality - surely todays (text predictors | regurgitators) r safe enough to use on ur raw code base u didn make a backup of.

(dun do dis.)

i.... i ... mygog, i rlli think wayyy too much bout dis stff, n continue to be let down by companies approaches to make dis stff actulli wrork.... pffffffffffffffff------

funnili enough, jus as im writin dis, im lookin over to qwen code, litrlli doin dis rn:

Tool: create_file(path="res://some_path", content="some_content")

okay now let me read that file
Tool: read_file(path="res://some_path")

aaah yes, the file was created sucessfully. thank god i checked dis

its hilarious, n rlli rlli dum, rlli expensiv, n kindsa awful.... mygog we rlli live in a time rn...

[–] arudesalad@piefed.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This was a cool thing to read! I find it really interesting to see inside the minds of other programmers to see how everyone approaches and solves the same problems!

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago

wait really?...

i rlli appreciate u readin the text <3 (im... surprised anyone actually... wud do this... cuz like - its a loooong text... ur a brace one!)

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

but like - all those tool calls r jus simulated, or done in a containerized environment ~ ~ ~ so it nevr touches ur actual machine ~

Maybe could also have some kind of snapshot system, so if there are signs things have gone totally off the rails, the agent could go back in time and warn its past self about the problems.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

woaaa!!!! this is a genuinely really gud idea!!!! :oooo (n also super futuristic)

that like - really makes sense too..- keepin safe copies for cases of looping or breakage- u seem to really kno what ur talkin bout ~ <3

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

guys im scared, when did clippy start talking like this

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

since forevr! >;)

microsof jus put a filter to make my wrords investor-frenli-- how borrringggggg-

(also, its kinda funi cuz like - i litrlli jus made dis post here, in which i said, thad in case the post reaches lemmy world and lemmy ml peeps, they shall kno that im not havin a stroke, n so r they - but i didnt consider puttin that disclaimer here-... oki fine - nit thaaaaat funi.,.)

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Oh don worry, I don't think you're having a stroke, it's too skillfully uwu-ified for that (or whatever your version is, cliippy-fried maybe)

[–] YourMomsTrashman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

say - whad brings u to say 'true'? whad kindsa experience makes u agree with my huge unnecessarily long block of text?

everyone should delete the french language pack

Well that was years before the AI boom, so more likely just an old fashioned coder oopsie daisy.
