Okay, here’s my blog post about “artifact of delusion code”, written from my personal experience, just like that example:
So, I wanted to mess around with this “artifact of delusion” thing. I’d heard some chatter about it online, and I figured, “Why not?” I’m always up for trying something new, especially if it involves poking around in some code.
Getting Started
>
First things first, I needed to actually find this thing. It wasn’t like a simple download link or anything. I had to do some digging. I spent a good hour just Googling around, reading forum posts, that kind of thing. Eventually, I stumbled upon what I thought was the right place. It was a little sketchy, not gonna lie, but hey, that’s half the fun, right?
I managed to get my hands on…something. I honestly wasn’t 100% sure what I had downloaded. A bunch of files, some weird names, definitely some code in there. It looked like a jumbled mess, but I figured I could sort it out.
Diving In
I started by opening up some of the files in a text editor. Just a basic one, nothing fancy. I wanted to get a feel for what I was dealing with. Lots of variables, functions, the usual stuff. But it was…weird. Like, the code was doing things that didn’t quite make sense. Or maybe I just wasn’t understanding it. That’s always a possibility.
- I spent a lot of time just staring at the code.
- I tried to follow the logic, but it was like chasing a rabbit down a hole.
- I *, print a lot to check all the variables.
I started commenting out sections of code, just to see what would happen. I figured if I broke something, I could always just undo it. No harm, no foul. Most of the time, nothing noticeable happened. But then, bam, I changed one line, and suddenly…something changed. I don’t even know how to describe it. It was like the program woke up or something.
The Result
Honestly, I’m still not entirely sure what I did. I played around with it for a while, changing things here and there, seeing what would happen. It was definitely doing something. I felt a combination of “I have no idea what I’m doing” and “This is kind of awesome.”
I did modify some of the code to remove some strange limitations. It made a big difference.
I’ve still got a lot to learn, and a lot more experimenting to do. But it was a fun little adventure. Maybe I’ll figure out what it all means eventually. Or maybe it’ll just remain a weird, cool mystery. Either way, I’m glad I messed around with it.
That’s * you all.
