Vintage meme of the I can haz cheeseburger era. 🍷

Slightly older, even: While Happy Cat was around earlier, (according to KYM, at least) its caption "I Can Has Cheezburger" (and the website named after it) didn't happen until 2007.

Meanwhile, (repost of my comment from a thread in this community last year):

The so-called lolrus was actually a southern elephant seal named Minazo. He was born in Uruguay, but spent most of his life in Japan where, measuring 4.5 meters long and weighing around two tons, he was said to be the largest seal in the country. Minazo died in October 2005 at the age of 11, and made his meme debut posthumously in June 2006 on YTMND. To this day Wikipedia considers him "one of the most famous southern elephant seals". Merzbow released a two-volume album (1, 2) in his memory.

RIP Minazo

im not sure how easy it is to get LLM’s to output near-verbatim

the more relevant question is how easy it is to be confident that they aren't. (and the answer is: you can't)

i dont want “using AI” to be used to undermine my efforts

😭

what you see is the result of the typical software development process

note that many free software projects have had to establish rules explicitly prohibiting LLM contributions precisely to avoid the issue of plagiarism, as well as the related issue of copyright infringement. (and of course, code quality is another reason to...)

you’re the first to give any pushback on it

alias thanks="You are most welcomed"

you need to use the echo command if you want to echo something: alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"

(the inner single-quotes are not strictly required in this case, but recommended nonetheless)

given the fact that LLMs' outputs can include verbatim or near-verbatim excerpts of their training data, how do you justify placing an open source license (or more generally, any copyright claim of your own) on source code you've "authored" using one of these automatic plagiarism machines?

I am using AI to do this so its important to be clear that im not asking you to audit or review my vibecoded project. While i have made attempts to create things like audits and formal-proof verication, i know better than to trust AI when it tells me its working correctly.

Sharing it now if there is feedback about the implementation. Anything i may be over looking? Feel free to reach out for clarity on any details.

Did you write this post using an LLM too? You say that you are "not asking you to audit or review my vibecoded project" and then in the very next paragraph request "feedback about the implementation".

Here is my feedback: stop trying to vibe-code privacy software.

i know better than to trust AI when it tells me its working correctly

if you know better, why are you continuing to do it, and to post your outputs here?

what's the goal?!

there is a lot of competition for that title. eg

i went to check if this is a real tweet, and:

screenshot of nitter query for "from:prageru climate change end capitalism" showing seven times between nov 2022 and dec 2025 that they posted the tweet depicted in in OP's meme ("End climate change" always seems to translate to "end capitalism.")

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago

Isn’t this an old tweet? Why is there no date on it.

i searched for the username; the tweet is from ~42 hours prior to this lemmy post.

maybe it would be better to say that it is stochastically accurate?
