Damn, that’s my go-to and I didn’t even recognize it’s logo. Shows up as a Y on the site for me.

Reminds me of the “Island Sanctuary” feature added to Final Fantasy XIV, where you were promised your very own tropical paradise to visit and decorate. Ended up being little else to do there other than build and manage factories.

The thing is that words can have a very broad range of meaning depending on who uses them and how (among many other factors), but you can’t accurately code all of that into a form that computers can understand. Even ignoring bad actors it makes certain things very difficult, like if you ever want to search for something that just happens to share words with something completely different which is very popular.

Yea man, that’s totally what I said. @@

You’ll have to forgive people for being cautious when presented with an ethnic supremacist state actively working towards global domination.

Reproduction isn’t a luxury item. It’s a survival need. The only reason that it’s viewed as such in western society is because our economic system is all kinds of screwed up. People have been brainwashed to consider survival, as a society, in terms of our economic systems rather than in terms of the actual people.

Yea, seems like a fun and quirky feature, but unfortunately I don’t think there’s anything big tech companies can do at this point to turn things around with public opinion given how utterly egregious their other sins have been (and continue to be).

They’re not bugs, they’re features.

I found some of my favourite bands by downloading mislabelled songs on limewire.

This shit needs to die.

Thumb ball master race chuckles with amusement as they look down upon this post from Olympus.

I have to admit, I have questions about the impact of spending too much time deep inside machine logic territory.

Using old vodka bottles for water.

I think I’ve used Amazon a grand total of twice in my life. Got a cheap knockoff of what I actually ordered both times.

Survival of the fittest is survival of those that cooperate

The question nobody ever asks about survival of the fittest is what actually makes someone fit to survive?

It may prompt people to recognizing things they had glossed over before.

While everyone was busy buying up all the toilet paper I realized I don’t actually need it nearly as much as I had been using it, if I just shower afterwards, and ended up saving a ton of money.

What bothers me is when people use that argument to advocate for replacing ‘constructs’ which evolved more or less naturally over tens of thousands of years, even before the dawn of civilization, with something deliberately engineered by individual humans. Is a cis-normative nuclear family the only way that it’s possible to live? Of course not, but it’s also what the vast majority of the population wants in their lives, which is why it’s the standard.

Language learning models are all about identifying patterns in how humans use words and copying them. Thing is that’s also how people tend to do things a lot of the time. If you give the LLM enough tertiary data it may be capable of ‘accidentally’ (read: randomly) outputting things you don’t want people to see.

I can’t wait until people find out that you don’t even need to train it on secrets, for it to “leak” secrets.
