Considering how I may be doing comms again more consistently this year, especially, I've been on a streak of no bad experiences with clients since about 2019. Nobody's gotten parasocial because they gave me money for a service in years, let's keep it up boys!!!

#vena vents #not art #I did have some ''i bought a comm from you we're besties nowwwww'' type people a few years ago #needless to say they are not in contact with me and I do not take more commissions from them <3 #would love a consistent job but I think given the recession and also my physical limitations taking most jobs out of the possibilities it's #gonna be a year of taking a lot of comms #I just hope it's not a repeat of 2019 where I took so many I lost all passion for art and injured my entire arm from drawing so much #and was in a depressive spiral from it #at least 2020 let me just sit there and get back to drawing for fun. i guess

sometimes i forget that people new here probably don't know teddy's name so missed the irony of this. back in 2020 i named him eugene. and this hockey season i put a r*angers jersey on Eugene. cause i think im funny. ive also started to worry that i pushed my luck and criss crossed my loyalties too much and now both teams are backsliding ;_; but Teddy Gene has been sporting this jersey since the start of the season so i dont think its his fault. both teams have back to back games starting tomorrow before the break and im Concerned :(

#teddy gene's origin was that i bought him in the first month of the pandemic when i realized the guy i was dating would be quarantined in SF #and then years later when i moved into the new place and quarantine was over he went into storage #and then i lost my job and months of unemployment is the WORST kind of isolation so i pulled teddy gene out of storage again #he was named during a time when i had too many eugenes they were popping up like daisies so his name is also a joke #2019/2020 was a fun year #also in my defense when i first started drawing geno i had no idea evgeni could mean eugene #it's not like im intentionally starting a eugene collection or something #anyways he is good for hugs #soft and squishy and you can give his little forehead a kiss cause hes so cute #kind of like a cat but without the allergies #and he roots for both new york and pittsburgh despite the jersey loyalty #jrnlsht

So Spar is undoubtedly the OC I’ve kept and changed the most over the years so here’s a progression in order from her creation in 2016 to the latest picture I’ve taken of her in 2023

#Sparrow Richardson #her lore has changed a lot too over the years but her job has always stayed the one constant LMAO #those moles had a GRIP on her for the first few years LMAO #I think fr the last time I tweaked her was in like either 2019 or 2020 so I'm surprised with myself #Good to know 2018 me was also in a deathgrip with pink and blue lighting LMAO

as someone who very strongly associates music with time periods and locations in her life i love the spotify top 100 yearly playlists so much. love dragging my top songs of 2016 playlist out of the depths of time and experiencing an hour of very concentrated intense nostalgia

#i'm playing my 2020 playlist rn #sadly idk where my 2017 and 2018 and 2019 ones are #like i have 2016 and then i have 2020-present #hits shuffle on the 2020 playlist like well yep this is very 2020 to me! <- listened to music Constantly at my job that year

5 years in review (2018-2022)

#art review #year in review #art summary #art meme #my art #i wanted to look at them together :))) #i feel like 2018 is a solid start #2019 was a little rough as i learn a new medium [digital art] #2020 was mw sort of finding brand stability in the types of pieces i did #2021 was pushing myself to really improve with focus on texture and unintentional focus on lighting #and 2022 was a fucking STRUGGLE trying to learn how to put art out consistently while working full time #like for example. jan feb march of this year. i only put out one piece each month #bc i rly dont like my job lmao and it took so much out of me >moving cross country >starting first full time job >moving AGAIN across town #also the piece from july looks wonky to me now but it still is the most polished thing from that month bc i did a bunch of quick art fight p #ieces #unintentional themes for this year: realism. red/teal palettes [or more generally warm/cool contrast]. #almost exclusively music fanart or mh/sta stuff #idk im always over critical of my year in review stuff when i first make them then warm up as i become nostalgic #you can also notice a trend of yellow slowly becoming completely absent from my works. this is bc my old laptop had issues with displaying #color and washed yellow out so i never saw it. hence why old drawings of ppl look RLY JAUNDICED. i couldnt goddamn see it #and i dont rly gravitate towards yellow too often #aqua is my fave color in general but also to work with #i didnt do 0 traditional art this year but i felt like i did less that usual probably bc i used to work on my bed but now i work at my desk #which is Very Small and doesnt have a lot of space for me to get out pens or paints or whatever #that and also. less time and energy than in previous years :( #my faves for each year by month: jan-21 feb-19 mar-21 apr-22 may-22 jun-22 jul-18 aug-22 sep-21 oct- #18/21 [tie] nov-21 dec-22 [altho i def seem to always push myself to make sth rly good in the last month of the year tbh]

Contemplating if I should buy a new pair of casual sneakers for wearing everyday since my current Adidas Superstars are 4 years old and stained/torn. But then again Winter is approaching and I'll be switching to my winter boots anyway, so I won't need a new pair of casual sneakers until March/April next year when I could possibly invest in them.

For now, I'll just throw them into the washing machine (gentle cycle ofc) because other than the stains and tears on the outside material they feel pretty alright and I'm on, what I like to call, a saving spree this year.

#I bought 4 pairs of shoes after my superstars so it's not like I haven't bought any or that the superstars are newest #but I wear the superstars the most since they're so comfortable and easy to put on #I bought vans in October 2019 after but they're not as comfortable and sorta heavy so I save them for more special occasions #I have my timberlands I bought in January 2020 which are only worn during the winter when my superstars won't cut it #Then my ultraboost from May of this year which I only use for the gym and the walk to the gym and back #And lastly and the latest to my collection are my dress shoes for my new corporate job which I bought last month in August #as you can see none of the new shoes I bought are a replacement for casual everyday wear of my superstars #shoes #adidas #consumerism #personal

All sorts of recent book adaptations get bashed all the time (the new Persuasion, for instance, or The Rings of Power) but if one makes one negative comment about the new ACGAS it’s like a crime... I mean, no shade to all those who like it, but... this goes to all those who like stuff like the new Persuasion, too. Doesn’t change the fact that the creators of it disrespect and misunderstand the source material, and that the work put in these movies and shows (there’s many others, too) simply isn’t very good, at least not sufficient. And one should be able to say this, and, yes, even use the respective tags, despite fans using them as well. Criticism of a product and its creators is not necessarily a criticism of its consumers – at the very least, not in the case of fiction and media.

#random #acgas 2020 #persuasion 2022 #and for that matter: #little women 2019 #anne with an e #despite having some nice aspects to it the new acgas is fundamentally a bad adaptation and a bad show and most of the actors and all #of the writers are doing a bad job

just reflecting on my past and realizing how shit everything's been. tw for lotsa things in tags or you can just ignore and go on with ur day <3

#well that poll got me thinking and i don't know how to qualify how BAD each year has been but terrible things happen every goddamn year man. #ok so 2013 i dont even remember. but 2014 i started spiraling bc of the awful friendship i was in. #2015 i decided to end that friendship and it ruined my life. still traumatized to this day. #2016 was my year of The Closet. it was horrible i was scared and suicidal and lonely. #2017 eating disorder and psychosis. #2018 i had so many panic attacks IN PUBLIC. #2019 broke up with another very close friend. repeating patterns because of trauma. #end of 2019 literally day after Christmas i lost a loved one and then early 2020 lost another. had a gf then was dumped. covid and school. #2021 went thru another rough friend break up of sorts. #2022 got evicted and then had the worst job of my entire life and also had to be Back In The Closet!!!!! #2023 unemployed and suicidal (again) era. living alone era. diagnosed with new shit and new meds messing up my life era.

Honestly I'm pretty tired of supporting nostalgebraist-autoresponder. Going to wind down the project some time before the end of this year.

Posting this mainly to get the idea out there, I guess.

This project has taken an immense amount of effort from me over the years, and still does, even when it's just in maintenance mode.

Today some mysterious system update (or something) made the model no longer fit on the GPU I normally use for it, despite all the same code and settings on my end.

This exact kind of thing happened once before this year, and I eventually figured it out, but I haven't figured this one out yet. This problem consumed several hours of what was meant to be a relaxing Sunday. Based on past experience, getting to the bottom of the issue would take many more hours.

My options in the short term are to

A. spend (even) more money per unit time, by renting a more powerful GPU to do the same damn thing I know the less powerful one can do (it was doing it this morning!), or

B. silently reduce the context window length by a large amount (and thus the "smartness" of the output, to some degree) to allow the model to fit on the old GPU.

Things like this happen all the time, behind the scenes.

I don't want to be doing this for another year, much less several years. I don't want to be doing it at all.

In 2019 and 2020, it was fun to make a GPT-2 autoresponder bot.

[EDIT: I've seen several people misread the previous line and infer that nostalgebraist-autoresponder is still using GPT-2. She isn't, and hasn't been for a long time. Her latest model is a finetuned LLaMA-13B.]

Hardly anyone else was doing anything like it. I wasn't the most qualified person in the world to do it, and I didn't do the best possible job, but who cares? I learned a lot, and the really competent tech bros of 2019 were off doing something else.

And it was fun to watch the bot "pretend to be me" while interacting (mostly) with my actual group of tumblr mutuals.

In 2023, everyone and their grandmother is making some kind of "gen AI" app. They are helped along by a dizzying array of tools, cranked out by hyper-competent tech bros with apparently infinite reserves of free time.

There are so many of these tools and demos. Every week it seems like there are a hundred more; it feels like every day I wake up and am expected to be familiar with a hundred more vaguely nostalgebraist-autoresponder-shaped things.

And every one of them is vastly better-engineered than my own hacky efforts. They build on each other, and reap the accelerating returns.

I've tended to do everything first, ahead of the curve, in my own way. This is what I like doing. Going out into unexplored wilderness, not really knowing what I'm doing, without any maps.

Later, hundreds of others with go to the same place. They'll make maps, and share them. They'll go there again and again, learning to make the expeditions systematically. They'll make an optimized industrial process of it. Meanwhile, I'll be locked in to my own cottage-industry mode of production.

Being the first to do something means you end up eventually being the worst.

I had a GPT chatbot in 2019, before GPT-3 existed. I don't think Huggingface Transformers existed, either. I used the primitive tools that were available at the time, and built on them in my own way. These days, it is almost trivial to do the things I did, much better, with standardized tools.

I had a denoising diffusion image generator in 2021, before DALLE-2 or Stable Diffusion or Huggingface Diffusers. I used the primitive tools that were available at the time, and built on them in my own way. These days, it is almost trivial to do the things I did, much better, with standardized tools.

Earlier this year, I was (probably) one the first people to finetune LLaMA. I manually strapped LoRA and 8-bit quantization onto the original codebase, figuring out everything the hard way. It was fun.

Just a few months later, and your grandmother is probably running LLaMA on her toaster as we speak. My homegrown methods look hopelessly antiquated. I think everyone's doing 4-bit quantization now?

(Are they? I can't keep track anymore -- the hyper-competent tech bros are too damn fast. A few months from now the thing will be probably be quantized to -1 bits, somehow. It'll be running in your phone's browser. And it'll be using RLHF, except no, it'll be using some successor to RLHF that everyone's hyping up at the time...)

"You have a GPT chatbot?" someone will ask me. "I assume you're using AutoLangGPTLayerPrompt?"

No, no, I'm not. I'm trying to debug obscure CUDA issues on a Sunday so my bot can carry on talking to a thousand strangers, every one of whom is asking it something like "PENIS PENIS PENIS."

Only I am capable of unplugging the blockage and giving the "PENIS PENIS PENIS" askers the responses they crave. ("Which is ... what, exactly?", one might justly wonder.) No one else would fully understand the nature of the bug. It is special to my own bizarre, antiquated, homegrown system.

I must have one of the longest-running GPT chatbots in existence, by now. Possibly the longest-running one?

I like doing new things. I like hacking through uncharted wilderness. The world of GPT chatbots has long since ceased to provide this kind of value to me.

I want to cede this ground to the LLaMA techbros and the prompt engineers. It is not my wilderness anymore.

I miss wilderness. Maybe I will find a new patch of it, in some new place, that no one cares about yet.

----

Even in 2023, there isn't really anything else out there quite like Frank. But there could be.

If you want to develop some sort of Frank-like thing, there has never been a better time than now. Everyone and their grandmother is doing it.

"But -- but how, exactly?"

Don't ask me. I don't know. This isn't my area anymore.

There has never been a better time to make a GPT chatbot -- for everyone except me, that is.

Ask the techbros, the prompt engineers, the grandmas running OpenChatGPT on their ironing boards. They are doing what I did, faster and easier and better, in their sleep. Ask them.
