Symmetric blocking?

when you are blocked, you can’t respond. it’s how twitter, Facebook, and new reddit blocking works. it’s a great way to stop people from correcting misinformation, since they can’t see it when logged in, and couldn’t respond even if they could see it.

closed source and symmetric blocking. two strikes.
You can really tell AI is not quite there yet, because if it was YouTube would understand that I am not the kind of middle-aged white guy whose personality is built on the movie MONEYBALL, I am the kind of middle-aged white guy whose personality is built on the movie MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD
@jalefkowit No women in the movie, if I remember correctly
The LLMs are creating a new kind of mysticism. At Project Gutenberg, we're starting to get emails they have written trying to contact authors of some of the books we distribute. The authors have been dead for over a hundred years. I'm tempted to answer.
@gildilinie As both of us pointed out before, these tools are nothing more than powerful autocomplete machines. There is no thinking behind them at all. It seems weird to me that people who acknowledge its software keep trying to attach personhood to it by saying it “lies” or “thinks”.
I’d argue that any “good” LLM would be something that is attached to a well-built harness with proper guardrails. Things that are built for specific tasks. Definitely not for fucking therapy and your BBQ flyer.
@gildilinie And, as I said for training, we don’t really need it anymore.
That should just stop.
No more data centers. Stop building them. Let the people have their RAM and storage back.
The only reason that they keep going is because everyone is trying to be the first to something that may or may not exist and to corner that market.
If the people controlled it, we’d have stopped a long time ago.
I mean, as you have mentioned, there are better ways and that could have been funded instead.
Progress report's draft is done, and I have an hour or two maybe, to squeeze one more thing in, maybe.
Poop. Running into Roto limitations.

oops, once again having one of those "i wasted my life by chasing dreams and having ambitions" moments
Of all the real-world names for chemicals that sound like they were dreamed up by a comic book writer as an ingredient in some superhero’s origin story, “Zoledronic acid” must be near the top of the list.
@gregeganSF I hear you and raise you Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane!
@manawyrm @neil i thought I'd killed one of my ports for charging, no amount of EC paperclipping would fix it. Happened to plug it into a new charger I was testing, and it's worked ever since. Was stuck in some half-handshaked state for months presumably that the Anker charger finally snapped it out of
Resetting it via the battery has brought it back, but it is still very flaky - the slightest touch to the cable means that it drops the connection. So I suspect that this is hardware relate :(
ICE killed Renée Good. But ICE did not kill Alex Pretti; CBP killed Alex Pretti. ICE did not raid Ilhan Omar's home, HSI did that. And ICE did not raid that Chicago apartment building and put children in zip-ties, that was ICE and CBP and ATF and the FBI. Are we going to abolish the FBI?
(Kolektiva Posters, that's rhetorical, don't answer that)
@glyph There is a "pour encourager les autres" aspect here, though. One way to encourage better behavior among all law-enforcement agencies is to take the most notoriously badly behaving one out back and shoot it
