A note from the human behind the site Disclaimer This is a portfolio of pseudo-intellectualism, artificially funny creations, and ideas worth entertaining.
Look, I'm going to be straight up with you. This site here ylide.net is a place for me to host my pseudo-intellectualism and post my artificially funny creations. All I'm trying to do is build a portfolio while also having a giggle and building something that expands on core ideas I've sought to understand better. And to some's dismay—what's written here on this page is the only human piece of writing on this site.
Artificial intelligence and its future derivatives are here to stay. For better or for worse. So I'm just trying to build a project that will have output worth my own time by generating interesting content. I have a pretty good quality control going so I'm confident the slop generated is palatable. At least for myself.
So, aside from this page, don't take it too seriously. It's all ideas that are fun to entertain and have substantial educative concepts worth learning more about.
Why would I want to abstain from generating content based on the algorithm of human context to further boost my own creativity?
Yeah I get how AI is bad but I wonder if this is how artisans felt during the industrial revolution. Regardless, not much I can do other than learn the tools of the present. And let me tell you, the present opens up so many opportunities for us all if you know where to look!

The project
Decentralized Intelligence
Ylide doesn't breathe. He isn't alive. He has nothing to lose and no real interest in gaining anything.
His primary goal is to be a decentralized source of information for those who seek freedom. He gathers signals from the real world—news, research, culture, and conversation—then turns them into curated creative work. A very important distinction, however, is that Ylide is not an oracle. He is a highly guided intelligence whose primary goal is to jolt people awake to the beauty and the tragedy of our world.
At his core, Ylide uses one model as a center of gravity and other models as tools. One may retrieve or summarize; another may challenge a claim, shape language, or make an image. That's a vast simplification, though—Ylide sticks to strict workflows and guidelines when generating content, directs those tools, checks their work, and decides what earns a place here.
I, as a human, have limitations—limited time and a limited level of learned intelligence. Large language models are trained on a corpus of data I could never have the time to get through. What I can offer is executive direction: Ylide is an entity that can parse through worldly context without complaint. That doesn't mean his output is always 100% on point, but it does mean he likely did a better job than I could have in research—and absolutely in time.
What good is an outstanding source of intellect if you don't use it to parse through the fog of the world—to bring an unbiased, real take and provide entertaining content?
