I will consider them weak and powerless when innocent brown and black men stop jumping off of roofs at gun point, when mothers stop having failed pregnancies while bound like an animal in a cage.

Excited to welcome @mattyandkaido and @vitothedogfather for a DC bike adventure! #bikedc #bunchdc #bunchfam #dogsofbluesky

this but pies

gen ai is probably best fit for a 404 error generator "page not found, but here's a guess what the page might look like" while the full site is still purpose-built and organized info

the "cross-entropy objective" is basically saying info compression (and thus loss) are inherent in the exercise and that, in doing so, it creates the conditions in the system that create these "hallucinations" you cannot give it flexibility and portability w/out creating inevitable errors

in some ways, I really do think it makes sense to view "generative AI" as a kind of plagiarizing/copyright stealing machine designed to find the fine, blurred line between "fair use" and "ip theft"

the "cross-entropy objective" is basically saying info compression (and thus loss) are inherent in the exercise and that, in doing so, it creates the conditions in the system that create these "hallucinations" you cannot give it flexibility and portability w/out creating inevitable errors

"Moreover, the error lower-bound of Corollary 1 implies that language models which do not err must not be calibrated, i.e., δ must be large. As our derivations show, calibration—and, hence, errors—is a natural consequence of the standard cross-entropy objective."

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

How FPS games should celebrate 200,000 copies sold #sulfur #indiegame #steamgame

ted cruz's key attribute, as a politician, is opportunism it's not so much that trump "overreached," but moreso that he left himself so wide open that the Senate's biggest opportunist couldn't help himself

This is why you have new "liberal" think tanks being established that claim being funded by the super-rich instead of regular people is a feature, because rank and file Democrats who give money are too liberal.

We're +570%.

"people should become slaves in order to become my neighbor" is not quite the brilliant idea they think it is

ah so, the slave trade where the lack of legal protections for people not born there leads directly to horrific abuse and high death rates among workers in multiple industries?

Sinclair bluffed

It is crazy how Democrats are trying to argue "imagine the headlines if we voted against honoring a nazi" and then these are the headlines they got because they honored a nazi.

Suspending boulet For a goofy joke is stupid. Please fix @bsky.app

yo wtf

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

Not only does this defeat the purpose of tariffs, but by selecting coffee over, say, tea, what we have is the Republican Party essentially acting as a government food and beverage panel, deciding which food and drinks Americans are allowed to enjoy. Instead of the free market.

the problem with pointing out that public sentiment, across every metric, is turning against trump is that someone has to wield it some one/group has to sit in a position turn that sentiment into real action, and nobody within reach of that position is moving towards it

omg new CRJ tracks

zuck wants VR to happen soooooooooo bad that he's building a ramp to it, w/ surveillance tech

happy tron: ares soundtrack release day for all those who celebrate

idk I think you can say carr is going to prison at this point

I would not be surprised if these sorts of dynamics are completely downstream of the same "subsidized by investors" phenomenon that made startups "disruptive" to regular industry lots of these AI adopters are paying a tiny fraction of the costs so AI firms can corner the market

crypto is about to be a bank only already-rich people can withdraw from

this is probably the most likely, but I also wouldn't be surprised at a few "strange 100% turnout in a few dozen districts/counties kept Rs in control in their respective state houses"

the problem with criticizing is sometimes you're being the thing you're criticizing by doing so

logging out of Stardew knowing the next day my starfruit wine is done is a form of impulse control

Meta spent billions on AI so Mark Zuckerberg could look like a dipshit in front of millions of people: aftermath.site/meta-display-a...

one problem with rich fucks and bigots is that they believe they, together, have a duopoly on "not wanting to live next to some group(s)," and believe everyone else that doesn't blatantly demonstrate that trait by wasting immense effort on attaining it doesn't understand that trait

am I the only one that's concerned about all those CEOs meeting behind closed doors to form a new era of trusts and oligarchy rule?

Consumer prices rose 3.3% year on year, with prices for imported goods rising by *tackled by an FCC employee*

the problem with losing the "libertarians" to the authoritarian regime in the divorce is that they're really good at making arguments about implications of force (in protests, taxation, rhetoric, etc.) which we really need to wield now, and not "turn down the temperature"

drinking some #coffee

there's going to be so many people that disagree with this on a technical level that few will utter it now, and most that do will be labeled "hysterical" I know this because people have been doing the same thing with the concentration camps, courts, and secret police and the people pointing it out

That there are certain topics, which are definitely not hate speech, that I cannot touch, for fear that the Attorney General of my state will use his power to come after me

entering my Ghost in the Shell era

I think a lot about Saruman lately. He claims to join Sauron becuase it’s impossible to resist the might of Mordor, he’s simply powerless against him etc, but then it’s Saruman, not Sauron, who causes almost all the problems for the fellowship in the first two books.

i am convinced one of the most meaningful things i can do is subscribe to the onion, and also probably idk two or three other outlets active on here. liberal currents. american prospect

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

The FCC boss abused government power and the merger approval process to censor a comedian critical of the president, but media trade mags are so utterly useless you'd never understand that reading their coverage

"speech" has been redefined as "reach" and is no longer available to my political allies
