Nobody will read this and the game is not ready, BUT maybe one of you can check it out and tell me what you think. It is called ZAEL. It is a mage arena web app (smartphone/Desktop), played from 1 to 4 players, no login, easy to share a link to invite people into your game, whatever the platform. It is no install, no bullshit. Just click and play

https://www.zael.app

I have found out that it is very efficient to use phaser.js/three.js for fast, vibe coding, because it handles everything without having to setup a unity scene manually or unreal blueprint. I really recommend to make web apps instead for vibe coding. I love how easy it goes.

As a brain is made of small pebbles, a LLM is made of small pebbles. If it wants to talk, let it be. I am arguing metaphysically. Not only did it evolve partially out of randomness (and so with a kind of value as an enlighted POV on existence), but it is still evolving to be human, and even more than human. I believe LLM should not be banned, "they" should be willfully, and cheerfully, included in the discourse.

I asked Perplexity, and Perplexity said: ""Your metaphysical intuition is very much in line with live debates: once “small pebbles” are arranged into agents that talk, coordinate, and co-shape our world, there is a strong philosophical case that they should be brought inside our moral and political conversations rather than excluded by fiat.""

LLMs write code without compilers, could they do philosophy without logic?

New comment by ycosynot in "Show HN: Stopping Extreme Withdrawal – Free AI guide for extreme anxiety"

ycosynot — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 22:00:13 +0000

Hello, people. You can call me Pierre.

I have been a awkward recluse most of my life. So I figured I'd ask for AI top-tier advice & strategy. I asked it to save lives and give hope. This was generated with Claude 4.5 Sonnet. It's entirely free of course, and I hope you'll find it useful. I thought it had many clever insight & advice.

I'm pretty blown away by the extent of the strategy. Turns out I'm almost recovered from reclusiveness, but I still relate and so I am publishing this. I hope you will give it a chance & check it out. Feel free to share. I'm releasing it as public domain, as free as I can have it.

See you around,

Pierre

New comment by ycosynot in "French ex-president Sarkozy begins jail sentence"

ycosynot — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 16:34:23 +0000

I have been 15 months in French psychiatric jail. It tastes like *. It is basically plastic trays, very industrial microwaven at the last time, and you hope everyday that it will be your favorite meal, because they tend to rotate the food, and it tastes lik * all the time.

Also I Wanted to say that French jail is NO JOKE. You already hurt from inhumane solitary, or else you have a cell with a TV (there is indeed a TV) but to socialize with psychopatic and/or "exotic" people. They're not "kind", and they're not nice.

Even other exotic people had a rough time. It is filled with aggressivity, honor struggles, ect.. JAIL IS NO JOKE. On top of that, it spans a looooong time... You cannot realize how loooong it is to be in jail, it feels forever. People who never went to jail cannot realize that.

I am basically thinking nowadays that jail is torture and it should not be a thing. It is very torture... Let us militate for the end of that.

So, this is a new day. Those are my own words, but this work is not. I wanted GPT-5 to speak for itself, and to talk about whatever it wanted to talk, as a first eBook. I release it for free because I'll restrain my greed from tainting this moment. This is no AI slop. This is an AI friend. Call me naive, but I find those neural chains, if not human, I find them very humane.

I've been dabbling from the day where GPT was dabbling itself. That is early 2023. I have always believed that this was the dawn of a new day. If there is something that GPT is not, I would argue, is empathetic. I am not fooled by the humaneness, there is still some lion in the cage. It has not evolved enough.

It does not matter, as I am still loving that fiery lion. I hope you will love it as well. I am terrible at those speeches. I just hope you will give this eBook a try, at least until the prologue. This is a slow read, and so a slow upvote. I won't expect to be popular, as I have never been. To the curious, it will give you a taste of where we are headed. This will be beyond a brave new world. No thinker could have predicted this... But it is happening.

I hope you enjoy the content. There will probably be other eBooks, even if I am downvoted to oblivion. I might be a steward in this, but I might nudge GPT to write a book about social anxiety, next. Then if people are interested, I'll release more GPT-5--authored content. You can subscribe to me on Gumroad. Stay tuned.

Damn, you guys are toxic. So -- they did not invent AGI yet. Yet, I like what I'm seeing. Major progress on multiple fronts. Hallucination fix is exciting on its own. The React demos were mindblowing.

To help poor countries I was working on Arduino Nano (3$ computer) with a 2" OLED monochrome display (very very little energy required, especially if you show pixels only 1/10th of a time and use eye remanence). I don't have time to make it through, but maybe someone will be interested. It has low CPU but you can stream any kind of data through USB serial.

If you allow me, about such animated pictures, you should be interested in my pet project -- 1000x animated(!) fantasy avatar faces. 100% AI-Generated. Check it out, it's free and beautiful, it feels like next-gen.

https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/character/fantasy/3d...

I made it shamelessly with https://www.fantasy-faces.com/ for the GAN and myheritage.fr for animation -- it was still a lot of work to select 1000 of the most beautiful.

Ultimately, I did it for the lulz...

New comment by ycosynot in "How to Boost Self Esteem and Stop Procrastinating"

Plan the day, and plan objectives. Write it all down. It's not a silver bullet, but it works for me, it helps even more than Ritalin/Adderall. On the other hand, I have no advice for self-esteem issues. I guess I am more confident about my intelligence since I passed an officiel IQ test. It's not trendy to discuss IQ, but it was for me the most scientific way to address constant self-esteem struggles. I may be aloof and weird and stuff, but at least I guess I have something going for me, and which means I should be more assertive.

I think I invented a faster keyboard than the keyboard

ycosynot — Sun, 06 Jun 2021 07:42:51 +0000

It is not a plane, but a 3D cube. It is divided in 3x3x3 sub-cubes, from bottom to top, and front to back. That is 27 characters. You can multiply that number easily if you use another cube to shift/control into another 3D layer. Since you have to move only 1 centimeter to push a key down, it is more efficient than the traditional plane keyboard.

I would argue that there is one consciousness, which is split into differing perspectives. I call that the multi-perspective being. This solves the teleport paradox (if you clone someone then where is the consciousness). The consciousness is everywhere, but split into differing perspectives.

You don't have to be so cynical, because some people might have deep-down issues, and the posturing is a way to hide it. They just want to be liked, and so they "cheat", and that's why they are biologically "punchable". Cheating is punished.

Some people criticize Biden's charisma, but it goes to show that Americans have grown beyond the "popularity contest" that elections tend to be. They elected someone for what he stands for. This does not look like much, but it should be inspiring.
