  • I was searching for who said a specific comment about a book that Churchill wrote. I remembered the comment correctly but not who said it and where. So I asked the AI to see if it can find it for me. It did, right away. I was satisfied. But then I started to doubt myself a bit, tried to find the source but I couldn’t. I asked the AI to make sure that it was suggesting the correct person, turns out, it wasn’t. It even apologized, said “sorry, I was mistaken, it wasn’t X who said it, it was actually Y!” and then I was again happy… For a second. I Asked it to make sure, perhaps find a source for it… It couldn’t. So I gave up on that, took out my copy of “Walking With Destiny” and flipped through the pages for like 4 hours and found the quote and who said it and where. The AI didn’t suggest the correct answer at any point.

    So yeah… AI might be good at times, but sometimes it just makes shit up for you. I still use it to find stuff, if I cant find it myself, but I ask it to find the actual source and give that to me, instead of just trusting it.








  • Some bouncers need to have the chat history replay set to enabled, some clients need a plugin to replay the history. I use Soju+weechat and had to do a bit of configuring to get it to work, but now it does work fine. Also, some channels have a server side history replay enabled, for example, in our network the main channel replays automagically 15 last messages and you can do a command to replay the last 100 messages.

    Mobile support has improved a lot lately. There is a couple of users on the network who only use mobile to chat. Personally I don’t use any, so I can’t say much about it.




  • IRC exists and works great! :D

    I’m on a self hosted network that is active almost around the clock, full of chill, wholesome and welcoming people. I can PM details for anyone who wants to come check us out (there is a webchat option, no need to set up a IRC client if you just want to have a look), don’t know if advertising is frowned upon here or not and I don’t want to spam or upset anyone.

    Edit: Since my account is too young to be sending private messages to strangers, I’ll add the info here:

    The server address is irc.inthemansion.com port: 6697
    Join #lobby and say “hello” :)

    Web chat can be found on the front page here https://inthemansion.com/ it will by default make you join #lobby. So if you are unfamiliar with IRC, that is the easiest way to try it out.
