Yeah, that looks like oak processionaries. They can cause skin irritation and apparently asthma, too…

“I just got tired of being pushed around,” she replied. “I have something inside of me that’s stronger than what’s out there.

Is it… a giant bag of shit?

Yeah, fuck those treaties. What are they going to do, bitch on Russian TV about it?

Nice.

Could take a look at text books from the 1940s. Might have to brush up on their German, though.

An LLM trained on all books ever written would probably take romance novels, books by flat earthers, or even “Atlas Shrugged” as truth as much as current AIs consider all stack overflow comments to contain useful and accurate information.

Thinking about it, your questions comes back to the very first and original instance of a computer and the question interested people asked about it:

If you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answer come out?

Now if we allow ourselves the illusion of assuming that an AGI could exist, and that it can actually learn by itself in a similar way as humans, than just that quote above leads us to these two truths:

• LLMs cannot help being stupid, they just do not know any better.
• AGIs will probably be idiots, just like the humans asking the above question, but there is at least a chance that they will not.

So, Reagan had Reagonomics and Trump has what… Rapeonomics?

Stop pretending these oligarch lackeys in public office are “caving” or “surrendering” or “giving in”.

They are doing what they are paid to do by their donors.

Between capabilities, namespaces, control groups, mandatory access control (AppArmor etc) and other mechanisms, I think there are plenty of ways to reduce user access to any part of the system.

5433rd time might be the charm!

I love the excitement of using !?

Did I remember correctly what command sequence I last used that pattern with? Will my data be gone? Will I send a vulgar email to my boss? Who knows, let’s find out!

Yeah better let the Nazi destroy everything instead then huh

Nice strawman, I especially like the hat!

We can deal with Newsom later, when the Trump regime is dispensed with.

Ah, but you won’t, will you.

The quote “brimming over with wrongability” comes to mind.

Someone who knows that they know nothing knows more than someone who does not know that they know nothing.

UK, what the bloody hell is wrong with you.

All this while systematically crippling our tax investigation departments.

If I ever meet Merz or someone like him, I will have choice words to say.

I believe in equal rights and opportunities for all, be they man, woman, in between or none of the above.

But saying (and perhaps believing) one is a feminist and actually acting like one are often two different pairs of shoes. We all are confronted with so much discrimination, with so much bias, with so much misogyny, it takes active labour to actually behave like a feminist, because no matter how you think about yourself, at some point and to some degree, all that shit we get confronted with every day will rub off on us, and we have to understand that and constantly check ourselves so that it does not influence us in our thought patterns. Constant mental garbage collection, if you want.

That is true for all kinds of discrimination, no matter what it is based on.
