Fediverse is worse than Reddit. Mod abuse, admin abuse, disinformation and people circle jerking each other off like they have it all figured out.

  • Look up metal screams / growls. You need to use a different part of your throat for that and there’s training methods to teach you how. Obviously in those cases you’d mostly exclusively use them false vocal cords while when screaming you’d use them and your regular vocal folds for a mixed voice. There’s other ways to add vocal fry but they’re fairly unhealthy and can cause damage, which is why people often lose their voice when screaming too much.











  • I’m thinking of something that actually processes some form of “thought”, in the abstract sense. Even video game AI does that to an extend (granted, there’s various techniques depending on the game type), so the term here is actually somewhat appropriate. LLMs don’t do that at all though, they’re just word guessing based on the texts they were trained upon (while we stick with text gen here at least) and that just so happens to sound like somewhat coherent sentences that can fool someone into thinking that their computer actually talked to them. There never was any sort of thought behind that though. It functions closer to how your mobile keyboard predicts the next word you want to use in its suggestions at the top. It just tries to complete the text it was already presented with. A lot of the illusion here comes actually from the tools used to display this information in a chat like manner, but that’s just frontend foolery for the user.
