disposable vapes have a lithium ion battery and usb c port for charging… it’s not hard to turn one into a battery pack for something else that took batteries, like a flashlight

gendered languages has kept me monolingual

wait til they find out about cellphone cameras and the 1,000 other video glasses companies

you need to fully be able to program to work with these things, in my experience.
you have to explain what you want very specifically, in precise programming terms.

i tried a preview of chatgpt codex and it’s working better than my free version of claude, but codex creates a whole virtual programming environment, you have to connect it to a github repository, then it spins up an instance with tools you include and actually tests the code and fixes bugs before sending it back to you.
but you still need to be able to find the bugs and fix them yourself.

oh and i think they work best with python, but i’ve also used ruby and dart and it’s decent.
it’s kinda like a power tool, it’ll definitely help you a lot to fix a car but if you can’t do it with wrenches it won’t help very much.

i saw the Challenger shuttle explode in person… my elementary school used to have a recess to watch the shuttles every time they launched.
however, the idea of Windows in space is terrifying.

well you know what i always say, there are plenty of fish in the tree.

well i wouldn’t consider a fish at all if i need something that can climb a tree

that’s generally true but it over simplifies it a lot. it wouldn’t accept any of my claims until i provided links to it.
stuff like, “there are only unverified claims of attempts to deport people to cecot. if that had happened, there would be a lot of outrage and news articles. it would be illegal for the us to deport people to foreign prisons”

so, outright denying each one of my claims that it adds up to fascism, until i went through the entire checklist of what defines fascism, with multiple sources… it took about a half hour.

that then becomes training data and sources for the overall LLM, and will influence future conversations… with chuds who believe chatGPT is god, and who can’t provide reasonable negations to well sourced claims.

i had a similar back and forth with Claude, now it’s defining trump as authoritarian without any further evidence required.

llm’s have gotten a lot more complicated in recent years… they’re now little stacks of multiple neural networks working together to fix each other’s mistakes and whatnot.

i think we’re getting closer to Immanuel Kant‘s model of consciousness.

i find the AI Futures Project to have some pretty interesting ideas on where we’re headed
(70% of all humans dead in 5 years)

i asked it if trump was a fascist, it said no. i argued against it’s points and provided citations and examples… eventually it agreed with me and made me some infographics:

you can convince it. It believes reputable news sources and wikipedia.
At first it didn’t believe me that they’ve been sending people to CECOT at all…

p.s. Liberia is worse than sending people to CECOT

you can’t judge a fish by how well it can climb a tree

gonzo was always doomed to be a misunderstood genius

my dog did this with trees that formerly had squirrels… now he just barks at and bites the closest tree as soon as i let him off leash.

You know the face - it’s the one where they’re calculating whether to say something or just update their LinkedIn later.

yeah, it’s ai slop complaining about ai slop

Source?

All they had to do is qualify with some hoa’s do that… There’s a million different types of them, each state will have different limits.
I’ve heard horror stories about some, I’m sure a lot of them are fine… I would never move somewhere with an HOA personally

Oh, gotcha

“Foid” is a derogatory slang term originating from involuntary celibate (incel) communities to refer to women

It is a shortening of “femoid,” a portmanteau of “female” and “humanoid,” and is used to dehumanize women by implying they are not fully human.

Delete this misogynistic incel crap. Edit the word if you want to post the meme.

Thank you, I was just about to give up on humanity. Do the mods not care or is nobody reporting this? New slurs are still slurs.

For those blessed enough to not know:.

Geez you really need the /s tag around here

I know it was a joke
