Come on guy, he’s just asking questions. No crime in that!

– Some conservative probably

Just to point out, Israel committing genocide is what makes people think Israel is committing genocide.

That’s why room temperature and cold fusion are so important. Duh!

But how many Olympic sized pools? That’s the only measurement I learned in school.

Most Republican thing this year

I don’t understand people who don’t try to document or record anything work or business related. They’re not your friends, and handshakes don’t always hold up in court.

This must be what people at church feel when they must behave on Sunday after the invisible man in the sky was watching them.

Ah, so fuck off kindly is a much better way to use this.

The people of our country just lack compassion

…, critical thinking skills, empathy, understanding of the world outside their county, ability to reason for themselves…

He’s got some people he wants his prince to bone saw.

Next deportation camps for people who may or may not be US citizens, or members of the mythical Antifa, will be based in Saudi.

How does novel information differ from hallucinating? It doesn’t really, it’s a Bob Ross happy accident aided by the large amounts of information making it mostly reasonable most of the time.

When it gets it right, like really right and you wonder if it’s really thinking, that’s the same amazing moment as when it repeats ‘echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;echo;’ forever.

The list of shit I’m enraged about is absolutely spectacular. This just adds to it.

You’re spot on for all of that. Context windows have a lot to do with the unhinged behavior right now… But it’s a fundamental trait of how LLMs work.

For example, you can tell it to refer to you by a specific name and once it stops you know the context window is overrun and it’ll go off the rails soon… The newer chat bots have mitigations in place but it still happens a lot.

These are non-deterministic predictive text generators.

Any semblance of novel thoughts is due to two things for modern LLMs:

• Model “temperature”: a setting that determines how much “randomness” there is… with a value of 0 it will generate exactly what it can find that exactly follows what you gave it the best it can. Note it often breaks when you try this.

• It has more information than you: I’ve had interesting interactions with work where it came up with actually good ideas. These are all accounted for by MCPs allowing it to search and piece things together or the post training refinements and catalog augmentation though.

An LLM will only know what it knows.

AGI will be able to come up with novel information or work though things it’s never been trained on.

Really? All I need is that quote to know.

Cool. Cut your pay and the pay of the other execs.

Oh, that’s not the code reduction you’re talking about?

Man, 15th century France is sounding more and more like a good time.

Um, NTA?

Not bad at all. I’m in my 50s and constantly disappointed there are none. The more I learned about actual reality as I grew up the more disappointed I became.

That’s why books, comics, movies, games, even cartoons/anime are so popular.

Don’t feel bad, keep looking for the magic.

Seems like a strawman argument.

States have used religion and are often driven by it, and incorporate it.

Religion isn’t just worship of an invisible creator, religions exist following men.

Power and the Human Condition are ultimately the cause. Religions, states, all the infrastructure and economy and common ideology… It serves to control the population and ensure power.

A state that co-ops religion or a state that tries to force secularism are still going to do what they’re going to do, it’s the people and their intents.

Religion, government… They’re all tools that can be used depending on the people in charge.

Do we need government? Go ahead and debate.

Do we need religion? I’m going to say no, change my mind.

The poster motto should be.

IT’S. NEVER. LUPUS.

That’s how Gmail worked. Things never got released, once a username is taken I’m it’s gone.
