@Greguti mais il est complètement con en fait
@fl86
Yeah, probably not. A lot of it's pretty grim. They're like weird personal diaries, sketches with me singing gibberish, with titles like "Is This Anything?"
On the BrowseComp Plus benchmark, GPT 4.1 answered 93% of questions correctly when handed the right documents. When it had to find them with standard keyword search? Just 15%. Jenny Morris of Vespa.ai joins our upcoming live webinar to explain why.

This morning's Low Quality Ad is for this Ghost Campfire Night Light, on sale for 55% off. This happens every freaking year. We catch way too many ghosts, then Halloween ends and no one wants to adopt the rest of them. Shameful.

Fills me with hope that @molly0xfff is collaborating with Coffeezilla to help hold trump and the oligarchy accountable. This is incredible work.

"I saw a quote from Chuck Schumer yesterday in which he looked at the 2028 map and noted that it’s not impossible that Democrats could get to a filibuster-breaking 60 seats in 2029. That’s the Holy Grail of senatoring and Schumer was giddy at the prospect. It was a sobering moment inasmuch as that tells you he assumes the permanence of the filibuster and the need to operate within its strictures. That means democratic self-government at the federal level remains log-jammed forever. That is a core reason we got the last two years’ authoritarian spectacle. The executive and judicial branch didn’t become vastly more powerful in a vacuum. They grew because the legislative branch, the literal first branch, is deadlocked and unable to operate."
Dat NVidia is toch oud nieuws joh, zo’n tech CEO met een affaire?

Generative AI is probably the worst thing to ever happen to retro gaming.
For decades I've loved keeping up with all of the romhacks, mods, and translations coming out.
Now I have to sit and investigate and severely temper my excitement at any project or idea out there until I confirm what I'm looking at wasn't just vomited out by an LLM. Most folks using these things of course aren't disclosing it either.
If you don't have the skills or knowledge to make something yourself then go learn.

@jalefkowit You are right. This telegraphs that Schumer is not going to fight the fights that matter. He is not the right person for this moment.
@ai6yr Pretty normal up here. Last January, after sitting on hold FOR AN HOUR with UW to make an appointment to see my doctor for a yearly checkup, I was told that they were booking July appointments, but they didn't have their July schedule yet, so if I could call back in a couple of weeks, they could book me for July or August or Sept. I ended up calling Planned Parenthood & got an appointment for 2 weeks out, they did all labs too.
@xinit I could see an argument that what he learned from the success of "Pirates" was "the world wants you to be Jim Carrey," and that mistake wrecked him
@jalefkowit of that's the mission, he's doing even more poorly than I realized.
"Chip design company loses CEO" really shouldn't be that big of a news story, in my personal opinion. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf

I blogged about LLMs enabling accessibility by/for a lot of people but also that this has its own risks. I hope that this hits the balance right:
@yatil I’m always so torn. It’s cool to have new tools in my hands as a blind person, but on the other hand the way these tools were developed are sustained. And are used to perpetuate harm, and who they benefit most, makes me extremely wary.
