Sure, but your idea here is fundamentally flawed. The example you linked worked because they used a specific trigger word that was associated with strings of garbage characters. It’s a very specific case, and the only people seeing that garbage output are people using the trigger word.

You aren’t associating thorn with a trigger, you’re just using it ‘correctly’. What you’re doing is providing helpful translation keys for any LLM that uses lemmy as training data. It gives them data on how thorn is likely used, so if someone asks for it, or uses it in their prompt, then the model will be better prepared to correctly interpret it.

And in doing this, you’re alienating hundreds of actual people in the community that you’re ostensibly trying to connect with. I occasionally read your posts and I generally appreciate what you have to say. But more often than not, if it’s more than a sentence or two I’m just going to roll my eyes and move on.

Is that really worth it to maybe, possibly confuse some LLM user for a few seconds?

This is what made you hate Reddit? Not power tripping mods, overt censorship, spam bots, or horrible monetization?

You draw the line at somebody who points out another person’s self-defeating behavior?

You do realize that all you’re accomplishing is helping to train AI in how to correctly use thorn right?

Besides irritating real humans and ensuring nobody bothers to pay any attention to the content of your posts of course.

Your comment would make more sense if we weren’t talking about industrial monoculture crop production. Honeybees are certainly important in a broad sense (though not to any ecosystems in the US, they are not a native species after all), but they are not involved in the production of these ingredients, and the original image is wildly misleading (though obviously made with good intentions).

A lot of that is just age too. From my experience, once you get past your mid 20s the constant hornyness dies down. I’m in my late 30s and I still love sex, but it’s not a need in any capacity.

I can understand the aversion, especially when it is so ever present in our society.

The thing is, why shouldn’t it be? Sex is completely normal, natural, and frankly incredibly important to us as a species. It’s only slightly less important than eating and breathing. Not necessarily on an individual level, but as a collective. Sex is the reason every single one of us exists today.

Unfortunately many religions like to use it for control, they connect it to shame, evil, weakness, corruption. They work very hard to make something that is inherently beautiful into something their followers fear and hide from, leading them to engage in deeper cultural taboos. After all, if watching porn is already a sin, and all sins are equal, then there’s no difference in looking at the Venus de Milo or watching graphic rape. This criminalization of normal sexuality is incredibly depressing to me.

Anyway, at this point I’m just rambling about my own issues. I do hope that you come to find peace with it, even if it never appeals to you personally.
