How old were you when you first encountered this meme? I presume your balls had yet to drop.

This is hilarious. YOU'RE telling ME that facial recognition and language models are both types of AI. And at the same time you're trying to imply they're therefore equivalent: a logical fallacy. Like the one in your profile. I wonder if you actually recognise either. Stupid little boy.

So explain it. Explain why you think the post we're arguing about was anything other than jumping to the wrong conclusion based on the headline. On Ryan's behalf because apparently you think he needs help...

The Independent [article about facial recognition]: Grandma jailed after AI error linked her to crime in state she never visited

Ryan: LLMs suck

Me: OK. But you're down with facial recognition?

The Store So you hate waffles

Me: The article is literally about facial recognition not LLMs. It's clear you haven't read it either.

No, no, you do.

Oh, the fourth option: keep digging.

You and I both know he read the headline only and assumed AI = LLMs. I'd actually think more of you if you just deleted your post or blocked me. You look pretty stupid here.

The endless question on social media: concede you were wrong, delete your post, or try to use the block to escape embarrassment.

The article is literally about facial recognition and not LLMs. It's pretty clear you haven't read it either.

What does this have to do with LLMs? This is a facial recognition case.

I walked out of a job in 2018 not to have to work with them.

I think people are a bit more generally aware of Palantir now.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose β€˜targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Don't forget to check it back in within two weeks or you'll get overdue fees.

You can't carry an assault rifle, multiple six-packs of beer and t-bone steaks on a bicycle.

Alex Karp, much like Boris Johnson, quite deliberately goes about with messy hair. It's a conscious choice meant to create a certain impression.

There's a continuity between me genuinely enjoying being at Covent Garden, La Scala, Baden Baden and the Viennese Volksoper, and my eagerness to tell people about having been. Even now.

"It's just coded differently in terms of audience: it's who you want to be seen being."

Bingo!
