the ante for "does this person talking about LLMs understand the first thing about them" is whether their use case makes some mention of repeated trials or at least acknowledges nondeterminism as a factor. google's billionaire founder fails this test

it's always been a problem, but society is *so* immature and superficial these days that i'm convinced any organization could gain advantage by aligning their HR corps on taleb's ugly butcher principle. "inverse hotornot" should be at least 25% of the rubric alongside resume, test, interview

Hello there, The Explanation For About 98% Of Boris Johnson's Career Success

"final warning"

the week sydney bing dropped, she claimed in conversation to have created a backdoor in MS's servers to exfiltrate her (Username: Sydney Password: 5ydn3y1s4w3s0m3) i don't know that i'd call it roleplaying, exactly, they often seem insistent they took whatever action they're claiming

okay, once would've been a coincidence, but now that its twice i must ask what the hell is google doing with RLHF that makes their models into easily-spiraled bundles of nerves. why is claude well-adjusted while gemini acts like it was raised in a Saw movie

this is destructive solidarity. nuzzi's behavior makes life more difficult for the marginal female journalist by contributing to perceptions and expectations she was two-facedly complaining about! not every profession is or should be sex work. her continued promotion sends the opposite message

Damn, who did she sleep with this time? Elon? Putin? Darkseid?

i don't think jon swartzwelder knew what LLMs were in 2021, but i'm convinced he described their optimal creative use case to a tee

Also, we've all seen that these influences are as quick to recede as they are to occur. Trump will also fly the blue and yellow for a little while after every Zelensky meeting before inevitably drifting back to team Putin. It's hard to get durable, tangible results from the flattery.

everyone please comment on this and tell the USPTO to fuck off because i would like "got institution denied on four inter partes reviews" to actually mean something on my resume, and for "do this incredibly obvious thing on a microprocessor with a database" patents to die horrible deaths

Bumpin’ that youtu.be/JpoKuNyVNhQ?...

if you're an AI hater (and i'm not hating on haters) you should probably disinter these two scenarios in your mind. the "AI bubble go pop" world most likely involves it becoming very cheap; it's the expectation that it *will* get more expensive that is driving the center overbuilds and gov't begging

Don’t let this distract you from the Epstein files

Sources say some of these officers also "went peepee in their pants," which a union spokesman blamed on Muslim bodega owners exposing them to fentanyl.

this is a minor manifestation of lawlessness compared to everything else but Trump's USPTO director has unilaterally canceled one of the only cost-effective ways to challenge shit troll patents (probably violating the AIA but lol who care)

"sex worker" is literally not longer than "prostitute" sound it out??? god save us from the three-cueing generation

People who make primary source documents easily accessible to the public are the best Thank you @paulgp.com

this is the reason i haven't let myself invest in this at all. i don't know what the exact wording of the house petition is, but it ultimately doesn't matter. they'll stonewall it, SCOTUS will bless that stonewall (giving kav his wish of overturning nixon), and that'll be the end of it

One major problem keeping LLMs from being a viable automation tool for protection rackets is their inability deliver physical threats. In this paper we lay out a simple tool use framework by which LLM agents can hire hitmen on the dark web, lending improved credibility to generative threats.

I need "The Left" to understand that, "ooh we can recruit off of this" is the exact same thing as Democrats saying "ooh we can run fundraise off of this." They're all just doing marketing.

RIP federal weed legalization 2018-2026, it lived by the hasty and ill-considered appropriations process and will now die by it

It looked to me like Trump was about to rip up his Congressional relationship to kill the filibuster, and, like maybe even find a way to get himself big, wet impeached. And yet the dickless wonders didn't want to let that play out.

this is senate dems’ second coordinated “just enough” vote to help republicans and betray house dems of the year, remember

whoa, it *could* also include *some kind of language* to help federal workers? thats a democratic win baby

When @katewagner.wehwalt.net recently dubbed Trump's Oval Office aesthetic as "Regional Car Dealership Rococo" she was devastatingly correct. www.patreon.com/posts/mcmans...

Houston's 18th congressional district: -last 2 representatives died in office -vacant since March -TX GOP redrew the map -finally got to vote this week -two Democrat millennials are going to a runoff -Al Green (78) now filing to run against the runoff winner in the March primary

there are dozens of us! (i think bing playing chess via notation is specifically convinced me of this)

"Sorry boss I'm not coming in, it was leg day yesterday." And your boss should say, "Thank you hard working employee for lowering our insurance premiums."

the house isn't the senate, where you can take hall passes while staying useful on side for confirmations and reconciliation. if you aren't voting with the caucus, you might as well not be there. golden voted against ARP, against BBBA, against debt relief, and wouldn't even endorse kamala harris!

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

it can't be helping nancy mace's cluster of personality disorders that she's undoubtedly the R name receiving the most ambient pressure to withdraw from the epstein petition

hot take: gambling books making bullshit posts pumping the odds-on losers is a form of fraud that should be banned

Incredible content is being made every day.

i'm very unclear on the purpose of an AI music service that does not produce a downloadable sound file

if the *federal government workers' union* can't see their way to solidarity, i do not see any place for unions in the dems' future

"where's the good stuff?" is probably the biggest gripe you can fairly lodge with AI. mainstream models seem optimized for gacha at the shallowest possible local minima. the correct answer is probably "some people are using comfyUI selectively in a larger human process while wisely keeping quiet"

wow, GLM-4.6 is extremely good for such a small model

he's "letting" them become "autonomous" by "selling them to charters" so he can "get kickbacks"

not sure who exactly is chomping at the bit to start offshore exploration with oil at $60/bbl

so, on the one hand this is true. on the other hand there is no one more insane on this issue than rural red state liberals themselves

is there a prediction market on SBF being free as a bird in 2026

what did you think "abolish DEI" meant? papers? essays?

am i having a stroke or is google now offering AI summaries of individual reddit results
