It’s another HBO-sponsored newstainment show focusing on politics. Don’t get me wrong, fuck Bill Maher, I understand why you’re bothered, but from a programming standpoint it absolutely makes sense that this would be the next aligned recommendation.

7 has Denuvo. That alone should be enough to keep anyone from touching it, imo

And it’s beyond obvious in the way LLMs are conditioned, especially if you’re used them long enough to notice trends. Where early on their responses were straight to the point (inaccurate as hell, yes, but that’s not what we’re talking about in this case) today instead they are meandering and full of straight engagement bait - programmed to feign some level of curiosity and ask stupid and needless follow-up questions to “keep the conversation going.” I suspect this is just a way to increase token usage to further exploit and drain the whales who tend to pay for these kinds of services, personally.

There is no shortage of ethical quandaries brought into the world with the rise of LLMs, but in my opinion the locked-down nature of these systems is one of the most problematic; if LLMs are going to be the commonality it seems the tech sector is insistent on making happen, then we really need to push back on these companies being able to control and guide them in their own monetary interests.

Honestly I think this is part of why conservatives like homeschooling so much; being in a close classroom environment teaches most people empathy as they quickly realize they are not the center of the teacher or anyone else’s universe.

Conservatives want to deprive us the lesson of empathy.

Damn, it’s almost enough to make you think every single Trump supporter is an ignorant idiot absolutely devoid of any concept of forethought.

I wish Vivaldi wasn’t Chromium-based, because I think it’s the slickest browser out there.

But it’s chromium, so it’s time to move on to Firefox regardless.

Ladybird development can’t happen fast enough.

Now we’re talking!

Sounds like they’re doing something right

Fr seeing in the modlog that people are regularly getting banned from parts of the fediverse for innocuous shit like “chronic downvoting” is so disappointing.

Imo however you do or do not hit the little arrow buttons should never have any bearing on your account or standing, at all.

I don’t even understand why mods/admins have access to see how people are voting, fuck that bullshit.

I have a Pixel. It is literally made by one of the largest advertising companies in the world.

Bigger screens mean bigger and more obtrusive ads.

I’m convinced this is 90% of the reason right here.

Always here to rain on any otherwise sunny day 😎

Yes, actual typos. LLMs don’t perform spell checks. Yes, they can “spell check” your inputs, but that isn’t what is actually happening. It’s all predictive text, and if they’ve learned to predict that the appropriate word in this context in 98% of cases is Minnesota, but since their dataset includes real human errors, it’s not unrealistic that then the LLM could also conclude that the appropriate word in 2% of cases is “Minneosta” instead, which means given enough output variables the misspelling will appear.

Again, I have personally had LLMs generate output with typos, not just factual errors.

Edit: cleaned up a couple very human typos

100% this.

It doesn’t though. Because AI was trained on human data, it contains and can replicate human errors. Its extremely rare yes, especially compared to real human output, but I have personally seen ai make misspellings and other human-like errors in its output.

I’ve said it before, but news companies and magazines like this deserve some of the blame for the proliferation of “fake news.” Monetary needs or not, when they lock legitimate reporting behind paywalls that simply guarantees people are going to get their news from “free” sources instead.

I understand the need for revenue, but another solution should have been found that didn’t effectively turn facts and reality into premium subscription content.

That is clearer, thank you.

Not upset, just confused. No ire anywhere, I assure you. Cheers.

I mean of course, yes, but since I can’t change my environment or context all I can do is speak on my own perspective informed my own context and experiences.

Like I’m not sure what your point is here, just that this obviously subjective topic is subjective? Yes, of course it is. And yes of course my response was likewise subjective, but given the inherent nature of the topic the idea of addending “in my opinion” to the end feels extremely unnecessary.

So again, I don’t disagree with you, but this feels entirely non-sequitur to me.
