what is the best way to keep blogs in my radar? I know rss is a thig but how do I keep a rss feed that won't go away because proprietary company a or b shut down or whatever?

Well, this is my #review of #Dune, and it is complete, because it ended here.

Random thoughts, my journey of reading and more filler because it's my #blog after all. Mild #spoilers ahead, behind a clear warning and you can skip them!

This is day 27 of #100DaysToOffload

Dune

My thoughts on Dune, by Frank Herbert. You can read a lot, there will be a warning after spoilers happen.

Today is a very special day for me.

My friend Greg over at Orange Tree Samples and I have been working for years (truly!) via my web studio @whitefusion on a new community platform called Preset Galaxy. 🚀

And I'm so thrilled to be announcing it publicly to the world.

#musicians, #synth nerds, & #musicproduction mavens, this is for you! 🎛️🎹

I wrote all about it on the #blog:

It's not every day I get to talk about a new UGC platform I've collaboratively built in my freelancing role at Whitefusion. Here's how it all came about.

New #blog post: MDN’s AI Help and lucid lies.

This article on AI focused on the inherent untrustworthiness of LLMs, and attempts to break down where LLM untrustworthiness comes from. Stay tuned for a follow-up article about AI that focuses on data-scraping and the theory of labor. It’ll examine what makes many forms of generative AI ethically problematic, and the constraints employed by more ethical forms.

Excerpt:

I don’t find the mere existence of LLM dishonesty to be worth blogging about; it’s already well-established. Let’s instead explore one of the inescapable roots of this dishonesty: LLMs exacerbate biases already present in their training data and fail to distinguish between unrelated concepts, creating lucid lies.

A lucid lie is a lie that, unlike a hallucination, can be traced directly to content in training data uncritically absorbed by a large language model. MDN’s AI Help is the perfect example.

MDN’s AI Help and lucid lies

MDN’s AI Help can’t critically examine training data’s gaps, biases, and unrelated topics. It’s a useful demonstration of LLMs’ uncorrectable lucid lies.

Just published a blog post on why I migrated my personal website from Next.js to Eleventy.

https://www.mattknight.io/blog/migrating-from-nextjs-to-eleventy

It's fairly high-level, but I'll be following up on some deep dives into some of the more nuanced parts of my new setup - like the distroless nginx container and the VPN setup letting me host the website from my office.

Challenge accepted. 👍
