Imagine having to actually earn a vote. What do you think this is? A democracy?

I’m on a blocklist for “fandoms” and I’m terrified that one day I might learn what that means.

Not ai but in my previous career I would get assigned tasks that they expected to take a week, finish them in an hour because I know how to use a computer, and get chewed out for not being actively busy. I learned to just do the job, erase the work, and then do it again until an appropriate time.

FrogFind!

Oh also frogfind.com works with Dillo, because that thing isn’t going to run a modern website with a 50mb js blob to render a blog post.

I hope Fujimoto follows through on that harem rom com horror premise he had where all the losing heroines do a suicide pact and haunt the guy.

God please let me out of this teams meeting so I can go read the new chainsaw man. I am dying.

When I use YVR I almost take the train in and taxi out. I do wish that I lived close enough to get the flat rate taxi. Alas.

Should Canada have nuclear weapons? | CBC Radio The final remaining nuclear treaty between Russia and the U.S. has expired, and experts say it could kick off a new nuclear arms race.

Yeah, for example, here's a headline I never thought I'd ever see: www.cbc.ca/radio/frontb...

Lyles Black Treacle 454g - The British Store Lyle’s Black Treacle is rich and dark with a deep molasses flavour. A staple for gingerbread, Christmas pudding, and classic UK desserts.

They have a retail location in Surrey. There was a similar shop downtown, but I’m blanking on the name.

I think this is one of those enlightened centrists that hasn’t picked up a history book to learn that communists, historically, are the ones that defeat fascists.

To be perfectly clear, I understand precisely how llms work and i know this is impossible.

Depends largely on what side of this epistemological divide you fall on. personally I’ll believe it when claude gets its heart broken so bad it deletes itself. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese...

In the end it depends on what 'work' you are getting them to do. They are extremely good at pumping out corporate memphis. If you are relying on them to make factual statements, I would double check everything.

If you're using 'unreliable' as 'totally defective' then yeah I'll agree. They have some legitimate uses that may or may not offset the slew of negative externalities that the industry around them has caused.

I think that we're missing each other on our targets though. When I see the word 'unreliable' I take it to mean that you can't rely on them in the same way that you can't rely on a stranger on the internet for legal/medical advice.

I'll agree with you on the point that there are definitely humans who display LLM-like characteristics: if someone is of a certain age and I say "Dental Plan" to them I can predict the next words to come out of their mouth because it's in their training data.

Sure, at some point we will likely have a breakthrough that results in something similar that doesn't have the limitations of LLMs, but that's akin to saying eventually a horse will turn into a car. Fundamentally different things that serve similar purposes.

Don’t self host. You will screw it up.

The only options here are to choose a service in a jurisdiction that won’t respond to American law enforcement, self host, or use an anonymous payment method. @proton.me supports cash and various cryptocurrencies.

So yeah. Get some cash and drop it in a mailbox without return address that is somewhere other than where you live so the postmark is not yours.

I guess now if you’re going to be a protestor your threat model needs to be “nation state”. This is the level that Snowden needed to be. It’s pretty wild tbh.

They are unreliable in ways that are fundamentally incurable by the nature of the technology. They don’t know or understand anything. They merely predict the next token based on the probability that the token will appear in its training data. It’s GIGO on a larger, non deterministic, scale.
