Most Xtians have never read the bible.

If they had, they’d advocate for it to be banned. Think of the content it contains. Think of the children! Oh! The vapours!

Someone already did that, https://chatwithjesus.app/

Skill issue. Sounds like they need to hear it more often tbh.

Oh! I thought that was a different kind of BBC.

I have a refurbished laptop, no clue how old it is, but its battery has long since died. It runs Xubuntu, it’s fully up-to-date, and it’s still a fine lunchtime battlestation. It’s not gonna win any awards and it doesn’t have the latest gaytracing graphics chip, but all I do is browse the fed, what more do I need?

What, exactly, do you think a community of randos is going to do against a heavily-armed extra-legal military operation?

This isn’t a jab or a gotcha, I’m genuinely curious what this idea of community defense would look like.

I’m so glad I didn’t end up going into IT. Retail can be tiring but IT would be soul destroying.

That’s what I meant, yeah.

Am I the only one who would never trust hotel wifi with a device I actually care about?

In the UK you can set up a self-insurance fund. But to do it you have to set aside tens of millions of pounds in a dedicated, easily-accessible fund, and hire an expensive lawyer who knows how to do it. Probably better to just take the hit and invest the millions at that point. I don’t know. I’m not a millionaire. I’m not even a thousandaire. :P

I’d like to say I upvote anything that I think is a positive addition to the community it’s posted in, regardless of whether I agree with it substantively or not. But honestly, it’s all just vibes.

Downvotes aren’t a thing on my instance and I like it that way.

HOW COME NETFLIX REMOVED THE N FROM THEIR SHOWS, KIND OF MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEY BORROW ALL THE STUFF? I USUALLY USE IT FOR A SEGWAY INTO OTHER SHOWS/MOVIES NOT MADE BY THEM?

(sorry, couldn’t resist)

Turns out: nothing really.

I’m pleased to inform you that you are wrong.

A large language model works by predicting the statistically-likely next token in a string of tokens, and repeating until it’s statistically-likely that its response has finished.

You can think of a token as a word but in reality tokens can be individual characters, parts of words, whole words, or multiple words in sequence.

The only addition these “agentic” models have is special purpose tokens. One that means “launch program”, for example.

That’s literally how it works.

AI. Cannot. Think.

I wouldn’t do it.

The risk is huge. To maintain good diplomatic relations they would probably forward the emails to US federal law enforcement (assuming they weren’t just sniffed in-flight), who would gleefully take a cheap W by throwing you in a Supermax prison.

Absolutely not worth it for the reward of feeling slightly cheeky for a few seconds before realisation sets in.

Tell me you’re part of the stinky “one-shower-a-day” gang without telling me

There’s a magical place, we’re on our way there…

Why aren’t they rioting?

The same reason you aren’t.

You must be a load of fun at parties.
