What do you mean these diapers are limited edition? What am I supposed to do with that?

The Ditto avatar in Pokopia is really great. It took some time to grow on me but it's so much better than a generic trainer

this Trump shoes thing is the funniest Trump thing in years, just straight children’s picture book shenanigans

A nice aspect of being wealthy (as long as you're also a compassionate person) must be the ability to fund whatever personal causes you like on a whim. I'd pay for everyone's vet bills if I could

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

Sometimes I'll watch commentary youtubers and it drives me insane when the person is constantly going "pre...pree-clampsia? What is that?" or "Reenee Dess-cartay? Am I pronouncing that right?". It's incredibly bold to make your job commenting on shit when you've apparently never heard of anything

I wanted to go for a walk after work since it's so nice out but the kitties immediately wanted to cuddle. Or Cookie wanted to cuddle and Eno wanted to be sweetly oblivious to what she wanted

Ohh this just broke my heart to see. I don't know these folks at all but think about giving them a little gofund.me/997e62b2d

Not to be pedantic but this also describes our Regular World

Imagine being able to read X, The Everything App and thinking it made you smarter

That gender survey is BS. Gen Z men where???

That big scary survey about Gen Z men being more regressive than Boomers is so flawed. An image of young men is being manufactured in the media and we should be very concerned about that.

Why do pollsters keep doing this???

here's my funny story

Nav Toor @heynavtoor 🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up. Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math. Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level. And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.

Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do. The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing. So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up. OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.

This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent. Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?

⚠️Told you so moment:

OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up [...] Always.

They proved it with math.

[...] This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.

I can just imagine being in crisis and having them corner and loom over me with comfort

Sorry Reuters you’ve already been scooped by No Shit Magazine

Pokopia is good. It's about time Ditto was the star of the show

Fetterman is a dink but at least I don't suspect he's a nazi

To put it another way, I posted yesterday about not trusting progressives who neglect animals. Well, you can maybe quintuple that for progressives with nazi tattoos

If the Democrats need a guy with a nazi tattoo to claim the senate, aren't they kind of fucked already

apologize then delete your account

Notice how the only way that this sounds vaguely reasonable, if you don't think too hard, is that it starts from a position of having to disprove "100% certainty"?

Take this more as a "you know what I mean?" vibe than any particularly useful form of insight

Maybe it doesn't make sense to frame this as a political question, but I've sometimes met a kind of progressive who is loudly engaged in What's Going On but seem strangely neglectful of their (or others') pets. And I have a hard time trusting this kind of person or taking them seriously

Someone's been elected to the town selectboard who, from personal experience, I don't fully trust as a catsitter

It's not perfect, the focus could be better, but I really like the first photo I posted here. There's just something I like about the composition, and also, I doubt most people get the chance to get a picture of a baby alligator sleeping on top of an albino turtle
