LLMs are trained on human writing, so they’ll always be fundamentally anthropomorphic. you could fine-tune them to sound more clinical, but it’s likely to make them worse at reasoning and planning.
for example, I notice GPT5 uses “I” a lot, especially saying things like “I need to make a choice” or “my suspicion is.” I think that’s actually a side effect of the RL training they’ve done to make it more agentic. having some concept of self is necessary when navigating an environment.

happened with Replika a few years ago. made a number of people suicidal when they “neutered” their AI partners overnight with a model update (ironically, because of pressure because of how unhealthy it is.)
idk, I’m of two minds. it’s sad and unhealthy to have a virtual best friend, but older people are often very lonely and a surrogate is better than nothing.

No boot sequences
(being annoyingly pedantic) technically there is a boot sequence: the Gameboy logo. on the DMG there’s a little blob of code from 0x0000 to 0x00ff that clears some memory, sets up the screen, reads the logo from cartridge memory and scrolls it. the loader only jumps to the game if the logo is byte-identical (the idea being that unlicensed games could be sued for trademark infringement.)
on the GBC the loader is a little beefier but mostly the same.
t. made a horribly broken FPGA core for the GBC that got just far enough to load the Tetris intro

everything is still a problem, it’s just a self-inflicted problem! 😁
- Comment on Tesla loses $68 billion in value after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party 1 month ago:
I’ll admit to it.
I used to think Tesla was based, since it paved the way for mass-market EVs to happen. I still think SpaceX is based because of the booster reuse and droneship recovery of Falcon 9, and the massive potential for Starship to make space massively cheaper, and Starlink for bringing Internet to rural areas/war zones like Ukraine (despite clouding the skies.)
On a personal level I found him disgusting, and as a billionaire I think he’s the sickness at the core of our economy and society. The projects of his companies were genuinely useful, though.
So yeah, in 2015 he would have been closer to the bottom of my list of most evil billionaires, whereas now he’s way at the top.

the amount of consumer goodwill that statement bought easily pays for any losses from the hotdogs. companies seem hellbent on torching their brand reputation for short-term gains these days.
- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 2 months ago:
I have no clue what to do. I’m American. I’m trans. I voted for Harris. I live in a blue state. I’ve gone to protests. I’ve talked to state senators about legislation. I’ve canvassed. I’ve talked to Trump supporters and tried to get them to change their minds.
it all feels totally useless. nothing I’ve done has had any effect. it’s like being chained to an anvil and thrown overboard. I’m swimming but I’m still drowning.

I actually don’t. :) it’s the first thing I disable on my phone. I only capitalize “I” specifically, and proper nouns.
again though, my issue is one with producing the Unicode character of the specific em-dash glyph. maybe some phones automatically convert dashes to em-dashes based on context but I personally wouldn’t know how it’s done.
- Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit 2 months ago:
no no, you misunderstand. I’m not talking about the verbal flourish of dashes for interjection - I use those all the time, in this very sentence - I’m specifically talking about producing the specific Unicode character (—) instead of just using the normal ASCII dash (-). the only way I can make the actual em-dash character is by long-pressing. if I do – or —, it’s just a sequence of normal dash glyphs for me.

I buy all my groceries from Omega Mart, like a normal person.
- Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit 2 months ago:
I use dashes all the time, but em-dashes? I don’t even know how to type those. I guess I could long-press the dash on my phone and select it, but… why?

it was an art piece, not a serious product idea. they weren’t pitching it to Trojan, all it purported to do was make a “statement.”
it’s like an OmegaMart product, basically.
