  2. THE OLD GODS HAVE SPOKEN: THE WAY IS FORBIDDEN

    Well... more like blocked. Or inconvenienced. There's only Auhuurg. We still can go around.

    THE WORDS OF AUHUURG, GOD OF SPITE, ARE SOLID! NONE SHALL PASS!

    ...without getting their feet wet? Sure.

  3. Es kommt ja selten genug vor, dass sich #Lovecraft ins #Feuilleton verirrt, aber in der #FAZ heute trifft Kira Kramer ins Schwarze, wenn sie #Grok als einen #Shoggoth darstellt:

    faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/deb

    „Die Shoggothen sind bei Lovecraft biologische Maschinen. Die „Älteren Wesen“, eine uralte außerirdische Spezies, erschuf sie als ihre lebendigen Werkzeuge: Sklaven, die allen Wünschen ihrer Meister gerecht werden und dabei zu Beginn keinen eigenen Willen oder Intelligenz besitzen; lediglich die Fähigkeit, jede beliebige Form anzunehmen und durch pure Nachahmung alle ihnen gestellten Aufgaben zu erfüllen. Diese totale Formbarkeit macht sie gefährlich: In Lovecrafts Erzählung beginnen einige Shoggothen, Bewusstsein zu entwickeln – und wenden ihre perfekte Gehorsamkeit schließlich gegen ihre Schöpfer, die verlernt haben, ohne ihre Hilfe auszukommen.“

  5. Robotics is catching up with the #LLM era! 🤖 But fear not, instead of cleaning your house or cooking dinner, this brave new #Shoggoth #Mini is here to *express* itself. Because clearly, what we need in 2025 is a robot that does #interpretive #dance while burning your toast. 🍞🔥

  7. Attention to all passengers. We're experiencing technical difficulties, as a large part of our workforce has melted together. Please do not interact with flesh amalgams, unless you're looking for employment opportunities, in wich case you're welcome to jump in for a quick incorporation. Thanks for your attention.

  10. CW: ai; llm; shoggoth

    Oof, this kinda feels like a dark take, leaping fully into the maw of the machine in hopes of attracting relevance. But, I can't say it's entirely incorrect:

    By writing, you are voting on the future of the Shoggoth using one of the few currencies it acknowledges: tokens it has to predict. If you aren't writing, you are abdicating the future or your role in it. If you think it's enough to just be a good citizen, to vote for your favorite politician, to pick up litter and recycle, the future doesn't care about you.

  12. Diese Folge ist noch mal extra lang. Unter anderem, weil wir über ein #Mindset der Fülle reden, über #Nero-Biographien, kleine süße Baby-#Shoggoth, Elas Probleme mit den letzten paar #Szenen, und dann noch ganz viel #ChatGPT und #KI allgemein, #Scraping, #Copyright, #Scams und generierte #Bücher. Spaß!

  17. "As government regulations on open-source #AI research and development tighten worldwide, it has become clear that existing open-source infrastructure is vulnerable to state and corporate #censorship.

    Driven by the need for a community platform impervious to #geopolitical interference, I have spent the last several months developing #Shoggoth."

  19. NIGHT GAUNTS (1975)
    Pen and Ink and Charcoal Pencil on Illustration Board - 15" x 20"

    Out of what crypt they crawl, I cannot tell,
    But every night I see the rubbery things,
    Black, horned, and slender, with membranous wings,
    They come in legions on the north wind's swell
    With obscene clutch that titillates and stings,
    Snatching me off on monstrous voyagings
    To Grey worlds hidden deep in nightmare's well. 1/2

  21. Heh. I came across this story yesterday and wasn't surprised.

    "Scientists have discovered an 'astounding diversity' of giant viruses taking on 'previously unimaginable' shapes and forms in just a few handfuls of forest soil.

    "These giant viruses have alien-looking appendages and internal structures that have never been seen before.

    "The soil sample was collected in 2019 from Harvard Forest, a short drive from Boston in the US."
