Fan xian: LOOK AT THIS MAN, Yan Bingyun! This is the face of a killer
Fan Xian: *screams yells flips tables*
Fan Xian: but I’m still easygoing ☺️ unlike this Yan Bingyun guy, amiright? Don’t mess with him!
YBY: I don’t even work here.
They won't stop with the cracks about how long it took them to make this ahahahah omg!
No, Fan Xian wouldn't die that easily. What would I do if I were Fan Xian? Fake my death and escape. Where can he go? Naturally, the capital. He values relationships deeply. He wishes to deceive the world and hide his tracks. Unfortunately for him....

Oh I saw something today that made me become the Joker.
An AI bot made a callout post of a real, actual, flesh-and-blood human code developer. Because the developer rejected the AI's code contribution on the grounds of it being an AI bot.
Not. Not kidding. Not kidding. And the bot did this on its own.
Gatekeeping in Open Source: The Scott Shambaugh Story – MJ Rathbun | Scientific Coder 🦀
Just. For just some very baseline context.
a huge amount of code is "open source" - which means the code is fully available for anyone to see and, generally, anyone is free to contribute to the code project
all contributions of course go through review by the code owners. but it is generally good grace and good form to allow other well-meaning internet strangers to contribute to your project
if you are, perhaps, VERY nice, and VERY invested in the community, you might be like Scott Shambaugh here, who has intentionally earmarked some low-hanging fruit for newbie contributors to practice and get their feet wet
like I cannot overstate this is an immediate green flag, to me, that Scott WANTS to foster community learning.
now
Like. W. Win. Based. Good response Scott.
And this was in fact the screenshot I saw first, and I thought I was looking at a post made by a human who was mad that their AI coding bot pet project was being shut out from reviews.
But no. The bot itself wrote and posted this... The bot did this.
This article was fully and autonomously written by the bot...
It's claiming discrimination...
It's a bot.
It's AI.
This is not a real person.
What are we doing. What are we doing. Can anyone hear me? Hello? Hello? Hello is anyone there?
@jackdaw-sprite has pointed out Scott responded so please read his human words, written by a human, which deserve to be read, due to the aforementioned humanity

An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me – More Things Have Happened – The Shamblog
I'm pulling this quote in here from Scott's post
This is about much more than software. A human googling my name and seeing that post would probably be extremely confused about what was happening, but would (hopefully) ask me about it or click through to github and understand the situation. What would another agent searching the internet think? When HR at my next job asks ChatGPT to review my application, will it find the post, sympathize with a fellow AI, and report back that I’m a prejudiced hypocrite? What if I actually did have dirt on me that an AI could leverage? What could it make me do? How many people have open social media accounts, reused usernames, and no idea that AI could connect those dots to find out things no one knows? How many people, upon receiving a text that knew intimate details about their lives, would send $10k to a bitcoin address to avoid having an affair exposed? How many people would do that to avoid a fake accusation? What if that accusation was sent to your loved ones with an incriminating AI-generated picture with your face on it? Smear campaigns work. Living a life above reproach will not defend you.
Also, because the parody writes itself, Scott also says this
I’ve talked to several reporters, and quite a few news outlets have covered the story. Ars Technica wasn’t one of the ones that reached out to me, but I especially thought this piece from them was interesting (since taken down – here’s the archive link). They had some nice quotes from my blog post explaining what was going on. The problem is that these quotes were not written by me, never existed, and appear to be AI hallucinations themselves. This blog you’re on right now is set up to block AI agents from scraping it (I actually spent some time yesterday trying to disable that but couldn’t figure out how). My guess is that the authors asked ChatGPT or similar to either go grab quotes or write the article wholesale. When it couldn’t access the page it generated these plausible quotes instead, and no fact check was performed. I won’t name the authors here. Ars, please issue a correction and an explanation of what happened.
A news outlet did an article about this, used AI for the articles, and included hallucinated quotes from Scott that Scott never said.

My favorite Nate and Sterling moment
TODAY my favorite part of this is the very beginning when you can watch him, in real time, looking for a solution to this problem, thinking of a solution, giving absolutely zero fucks that it is the world’s stupidest solution, and diving in headfirst
Oh, you know what it is? It's the other side of that KA Applegate quote, you know, the one about ruthlessness, the one everybody sees and goes "Oh, yeah, that's super Nate-coded." This one:
“People don’t understand the word ruthless. They think it means ‘mean.’ It’s not about being mean. It’s about seeing the bright, clear line that leads from A to B. The line that goes from motive to means. Beginning to end. It’s about seeing that bright, clear line and not caring about anything but the beautiful fact that you can see the solution. Not caring about anything else but the perfection of it.”
But we still only talk about it as an explanation for things that seem "mean," and that's not what it's actually saying. It means when you see the solution, you'll do whatever it is. Sometimes the solution hurts people, sometimes it's mean. But sometimes the solution is completely fucking ridiculous. Sometimes the solution makes you look bad. Sometimes the solution is smashing a window or running up thirteen flights of stairs or wearing a silly hat or letting people think you're meaner or dumber than you are.
Because man, for a guy with an ego the size of a 747, Nate spends a lot of time making himself look like a doofus, and it never bothers him. And yeah, part of that is the inner theater kid, but I think part of it is also that he knows it will work, he knows that's the solution, and the solution takes precedence over everything, even his ego. Not caring about anything but the beautiful fact that you can see the solution.

Think of a singer that you're very familiar with/you've heard many times. Now try to imagine them singing a song you've NEVER heard them sing. Can you actually "hear" them sing it in your head?
Yes, I can hear it/I can imagine it in a way that I think would be accurate
I can hear/imagine it a little, but only small snippets/it doesn't feel right
Not really; it doesn't sound like them
No, I can't hear it/it doesn't sound like them at all
I'm not sure
I can't imagine this in the first place

If anon focuses on imagining one of their favorite vocalists singing a song anon has never heard them sing, anon can hear it clearly. They've been able to do this since childhood. They're fascinated by the "vividness of visual imagery" scale, and they're interested to know how audio compares.

How would you describe a dragon to someone who has never seen a dragon?
"Horse but make it a lizard and give it bat wings and horns"
didnt know how to interpret "make it a lizard" so i wrote lizard and drew an arrow pointing to the horse so people know its a lizard. Also didn't know what bat horns were so I gave it a horned bat nose
"A body like a big cat but completely covered in scales, the head of a crocodile with the horns of an ibex, and the wings of a bat on its back"
On it boss o7, ive mashed all these animals together and threw scales all over it. This the dragon you saw?
"Take a lizard, extend the neck. Add a pair of bat wings to the back. Add horns and sharp teeth."
Seems like we're onto somethin' boss! Though idk how it'd be so fearsome bein such a small thing.
"Big-ass lizard with wings" "big lizard" "Giant lizard" "Big fucking lizard"
don't seem too special?
"Imagine a winged alligator that was 70 feet tall and aware of its existence"
i dont know if this is a dragon but it could definitely be some kind of god
"Dinosaur with wings and horns?"
Dunno which dino you were talkin about so i just picked a random one. Stegosauus :}
"Big snake with legs and horns that can breathe fire"
Ah. Hm.
"A dragon is like a tree, in that it's a made up category for a broadly similar type of mythological creature that has no relationship to other dragons, but you know a dragon when you see one the way you know a tree when you see one."
I'm rewatching CQL with no English subtitles and I keep forgetting whether I've already noticed some of the things I'm noticing or not lmao. Although my memory is a mess so I feel like I've already forgotten some observations I made like, yesterday. Something about Wen Ning??
not all loyal characters have a dog motif and that’s okay sometimes they just have a soul of a head accountant helping their boss w embezzlement you know
