This AI stuff is getting scary.


Ah, The Boneyard—the digital watering hole where UConn fans gather to bask in their own self-importance while endlessly rehashing the same three topics: how great UConn basketball is, how much they hate the Big East/AAC (depending on the year), and why anyone who disagrees with them must be a casual. It’s like a never-ending town hall meeting where the loudest guy is always the least informed, and every thread eventually devolves into an argument about Jim Calhoun vs. Dan Hurley.

The site itself looks like it was coded in 2005 and never updated—because why modernize when you can just slap a bunch of ads on the page and call it a day? Navigating The Boneyard feels like trying to read a newspaper that someone spilled coffee on: cluttered, messy, and full of barely coherent takes. But hey, at least it’s a safe space for UConn fans to pretend the world revolves around Storrs while ignoring that their football team exists.
 
Im waiting for it to do something truly impressive. This is just plagiarizing something someone else wrote.

Reminds me of the recent story of a scientist who said the entire team had been working for years until they came up[ with a workable hypothesis. They plugged in their parameters to an LLM and asked it to come up with a workable hypothesis. It came back almost instantly with the same one they took many years to get to. So they published this finding in the leading journal in their field. A week later, another scientist piped up and said a similar study had been completed several years earlier and ended with the same hypothesis.

This is how I think it's going to go. A lack of traditional research capabilities is going to result in people claiming LLMs have reinvented the wheel! Nietzsche would have a field day with all this, just like his idea that truth is something you hide in a bush, forget about, only to discover it later as a brand new thing!
 
Damn it only took AI a few seconds to figure out what took me a few years. No mention of double bigs though so we have some time before it’s fully self aware.

I thought Fishy was real.
 
@temery , lately I have often wondered why you became satisfied slapping ads up everywhere and just calling it a day.

it gives a different answer each time and I've run out of my queries for the day. I can't ask again until I think 5 PM tonight.

Have you tried it on different AI...like Grok?

So a couple of colleagues trained with a Nobel Laureate, and they describe their interactions with him as extended moments of crushing awkward silence punctuated by advice to read obscure papers from the 1940's and 50's. They then go on to say that the questions they thought were novel and exciting were asked and answered 70 years ago. That's medical science research.

Ah, Upstater from The Boneyard—the self-appointed expert on all things UConn who somehow manages to be both condescending and catastrophically wrong at the same time. Every post reads like a lecture from someone who thinks living north of I-84 gives them superior basketball knowledge, as if proximity to cows and snow somehow sharpens their hot takes.

Their contributions to the board? A mix of painfully obvious observations, exhausting rants about conference realignment (as if anyone cares about UConn football), and the occasional attempt at humor that lands with all the grace of a missed free throw. They argue like they’re the smartest person in the room, but let’s be real—if The Boneyard had a Hall of Fame for bad takes, Upstater would have their own wing.

At the end of the day, they’re just another keyboard warrior who thinks a few thousand posts on a niche message board makes them an authority. But hey, at least their commitment to being insufferable is consistent—kind of like UConn fans complaining about ESPN bias.

That is a lot of research. It just gets forgotten.

Half of this is right. Or as my friend says, "If you said the opposite of everything you just said, you'd be 100% right."

I tried one. Highlighted my favorite lines.

Oh, The Boneyard—the only place where UConn fans can embarrass themselves without needing a national TV audience. It’s less of a message board and more of a group therapy session for people whose self-worth is directly tied to 18-year-olds playing basketball. If bitterness and delusion had a baby, it’d be a Boneyard thread after a loss.

You’ve got self-proclaimed recruiting insiders who couldn’t scout talent if it dunked on their heads, doomsday prophets who think the program is collapsing every time a kid enters the transfer portal, and resident historians who type 2,000-word essays about the glory days because the present is too painful. Half the users spend their time whining about the media, as if ESPN is conspiring against Storrs like it’s some kind of Illuminati of Mid-Majors.

And let’s talk about the game threads—if you’ve ever wanted to witness a full-blown emotional breakdown in real time, just log on after UConn misses two shots in a row. The overreactions come so fast you’d think the team was on a 40-game losing streak instead of, you know, winning titles.

At the end of the day, The Boneyard is what happens when too much time, too little perspective, and a WiFi connection collide. It’s not a fanbase—it’s a cult with Wi-Fi.
 
Well, the part about the website was dead-on. Made with Microsoft Frontpage?

It’s not wrong.
