Do you know if this functionality can be turned off? I’ve been stung by the ‘gibberish’ once or twice but never enough to dive into the docs for it :)

Wank faster, my tax report is due!

Heh this post blew my mind twice in one package: I was definitely one of those that believed it was a real ad. I distinctly remember some discussions about the serialized nature of it or not. So as you said, super well done.

But secondly, the official ad you posted instead has three nipples at once? And one male two female on top? That almost seems weirder to me.

One point I would refute here is determinism. AI models are, by default, deterministic. They are made from deterministic parts and “any combination of deterministic components will result in a deterministic system”. Randomness has to be externally injected into e.g. current LLMs to produce ‘non-deterministic’ output.

There is the notable exception of newer models like ChatGPT4 which seemingly produces non-deterministic outputs (i.e. give it the same sentence and it produces different outputs even with its temperature set to 0) - but my understanding is this is due to floating point number inaccuracies which lead to different token selection and thus a function of our current processor architectures and not inherent in the model itself.

I don’t know autokey, so I can’t speak to whether they replace all its functionality but there are ‘xdotool-like’ programs for Wayland. So it is at least very possible to replace functionality like the latter you mentioned (press button/button combination -> do an action, like inserting date/start a program/do something programmatic). Some examples I know are:

• wtype
• wlrctl
• swhkd
• ydotool

I am not sure what your contention, or gotcha, is with the comment above but they are quite correct. And additionally chose quite an apt example with video compression since in most ways current ‘AI’ effectively functions as a compression algorithm, just for our language corpora instead of video.

Should be doable with yt-dlp, they have streamable on the list of supported hosts.
