did a little experiment over the past four weeks. i have to admit that coding agents are incredibly effective, even when you go full vibeslop mode.
but there's still something deeply uncomfortable about all this.

ran this little experiment in December where i let a local LLM lose on my personal journal entries. the results were ehhhh. still, there's potential here. might repeat this again in December!

can i get "WRITE BAD HAVE FUN" on a t-shirt? maybe this should go on my tombstone.
@deobald i'd be very very afraid of any kind of computer-based reputation system. those things will immediately dehumanize and lock out the most vulnerable people, as they always do.
some journals and lit mags already require a submission fee, which is sort of like proof of stake already? but this is not common practice because, once again, it locks out people who can't afford to pay $50 to five different publications every month.
maybe a system like the Lobsters invite system might be a good idea? https://alexjacobs08.github.io/lobsters-graph/. when you invite somebody to Lobsters, your profile gets linked to theirs. the idea is that this prevents people from inviting bad actors into the community because they wouldn't want to be associated with them. and it also makes it easy to prune entire bad branches of the tree if a group of bad actors are found out.
but Lobsters is a tiny community. not sure how something like this would work at scale.
wrote this about a question i've been considering lately: now that we have free unlimited digital artifacts on tap thanks to LLMs, will it become harder to get published in literary magazines or contribute to open source?
wrote this at IndieWebClub yesterday. i'd have liked to expand on this idea a bit more, but i think i got the point across? i only had 20 minutes lol.
it may be heresy, but i really don't like listening to albums
i made this list in less than 30 minutes at IndieWebClub, so idk how accurate they'll end up being. but i'm fairly confident about at least three or four items here.
@deobald aww thank you! glad you liked it :)
now you must write down your own first internet story. maybe as a Mastodon thread?
