i’ve had this in my notes app for years but i carelessly left out all other info so i thought i’d try out Lumo for a change. should have been quick and easy answer.

Lumo sucks. it’s like, “eh, too hard. go check soviet archives or whatever.”


The personality shall remain as the highest value in the socialist culture. This personality however can develop its inclinations in all possible luxury only in a harmonious society of equals. We (i.e. the government) do not forget the right of an individual to his own peculiar development. It is not necessary for us to cut short a personality, to cheat it, to cast it into iron moulds, because the stability of the socialist community is based not on the uniformity of barracks, not on artificial drill, not on religious and aesthetic deceptions, but on an actual solidarity of interests.

I sometimes plug in some key words and phrases describing a typical real life scenario, hoping to find out if there are sociological themes or concepts -

this particular prompt describes a situation that many homeless individuals have been through and may struggle to explain.

a friend or well liked acquaintance will offer space in their home to homeless individual.

despite all parties meeting expectations, host will complain about homeless individual “taking advantage of them” for having accepted offer in the first place. host tells others they are unappreciated and even feeling marginalized in their own home. friends soon intervene to violently displace homeless individual under false pretense.

i try to find sociological terms and concepts that can help put these repeated traumatic and confusing situations in context, why they repeat and why others believe its your fault despite not being your fault.

this has been my main use for all LLMs the past several years because it’s so easy, it works consistently, and once we can name these experiences and origins, we can work together to overcome them.

the above described scenario is relatable to just about anyone who has been homeless, and after this happening several times, they are too afraid to accept housing assistance from anyone.

but they tend not to contextualize it further.

identifying terms and concepts from a number of social science disciplines allows us to find other situations that use similar dynamics. we can learn, we can reflect, we can unlearn, and we can reimagine.

this is such a valuable tool for analyzing our past experiences.

so i have to wonder what Zuck thinks Meta Llama is ever going to be used for. nothing of any substance or value can be produced because the inputs are excessively restricted so as to remove any modern or real world use case.

i don’t think even a child would have much interest in anything that could be produced by Meta Llama.

and because it is one of the bigger local LLM models included in Enclave, i will need to cancel. this is taking up space on my phone that i can’t use for another one - all this space wasted because it produces nothing that i need from an LLM.

it doesn’t cost money to “fight military suicide” and if they are getting funded for “fighting military suicide” then they don’t want this problem to go away because then they’d have shut it down and find a new problem to pretend they’re spending money to solve.
