my project tomorrow is going to be to try to get my beardbot working finally. i wanna see what weird shit it comes up with.
i don't fucking get it. any god damn thing i try on linux gives me errors. i follow shit DIRECTLY and i STILL end up with errors. all the time. everywhere. what do they mean? who knows, not enough people use the damn thing, especially not in the niche way i'm trying to use it, to have an answer.
i also already tried to do it on windows but a simple niggle as the fucking time format is incompatible. this shit fucking sucks, i can make a menu system for a video game from scratch but i guess i can't follow plainly laid out instructions to run a shitposting bot, or enable a fucking screen filter. 
okay.... finally making some progress. apparently just installing ruby isn't good enough, you have to do it in the exact specific way that the ruby on rails website tells you to.
i'm now fetching all my statuses to use for the bot, hoping all i have to do after that is run the script and it just fucking works lol. and i'm doing the fetching on windows because something else was broken on linux making it so i couldn't do it correctly xD
@beardbot bro this is just two of my statuses stapled together
@beardbot @beardalaxy Ye I feel like it might be overtrained a bit
@applejack I have no idea how I would even begin to fix that.
@beardalaxy I'm not exactly an AI-expert, but I think if your AI is repeating it's input, it didn't get enough data to make generalisations or was trained too much so it's 1:1 with it's data
@applejack interesting, i didn't know you could overtrain an AI. i'll keep it going though, not like i can really change that too much. it's gotten some laughs out of me so far so mission accomplished.
@beardalaxy @applejack The term of art is “overfitting.” If you ever need to look it up.
nope, was never gonna be that easy. thankfully, the fix was easy enough. there was an error in the code where it tried to use the term "exists" instead of "exist" to check if a file was there. ez.
now the bot is up :D I THINK it works, i know it will respond to stuff but i haven't been able to see if it posts stuff by itself yet. time will tell. go follow it and find out @beardbot
