Sorry, Windows Media Player depends on Microsoft Exchange in the background so it’s also out of service.

Bro got to tell his boss to shut the fuck up. I’m honestly jealous.

I’m not taking any chances. I’ve already tossed bash into the /bin/

He has admitted in court that he purposefully killed Thompson and has pled guilty to stalking causing death.

I shot Mr Thompson and he died. I understood that my actions would place him in fear of death or bodily injury. I knew what I was doing was illegal.

His murder trial is up in the air because of rules around double jeopardy, but the fact that he did purposefully kill Thompson is no longer alleged.

The training is one part but its also how they work on a technical level.

They’re trained to always give an answer and never give responses like “I don’t know” and “I didn’t understand”. They could be trained to give these types of responses more frequently, but I’m not sure it fixes anything because of the technical aspect.

Technically, LLMs have no understanding of words, let alone sentence structure, because they’re mathematical models. Input words are tokenized (turned into numbers, essentially), run through a large equation that was crafted and tuned during training, and the resulting output tokens are turned back into words. They can’t be confused by ambiguous sentence structure because they don’t parse sentence structure. They can only ever be trained to appear like they don’t understand in the same way they are trained to appear like they do.

Bald and nearsighted?

That’s the point. A human would ask for clarification, but AI trys to continue the conversation.

It’s similar to this guy doing a job interview with an AI where he just says things like “Freight cadence Richard walnut and sprucewood. Six years of sprucewood, actually seven if you count Richard.” And the AI interviewer responds “It sounds like you’ve built up a long tenure with Richard at Sprucewood.”

I once played around with reverse engineering a Rust program. I compiled the optimized version of the standard “hello world” program which somehow turned into 50,000 lines of assembly.

It looked like it copied over dozens of functions from libc and the data section was filled with every single possible error string “file not found”, “connection timed out”, etc. as if there was a possibility of hello world generating an access denied error.

English haiku don’t follow the Japanese rules because a bunch of them rely on language features that don’t exist in English. The haiku structure taught in western schools isn’t a form actual poets use often.

Wiki has some examples of English haiku that dont follow the 5-7-5 syllable pattern, nor reference to season, but still capture the essence of expressing an abstract thought with minimal language by presenting two short unlinked statements. The last lines of these poems arent explicitly connected to the first two. The reader is left to speculate on the link between them.

Couldn’t someone just lie? If Alice hates romance and wants to know if Bob is a filthy romance lover, she could just lie and say she likes romance. No matter what system you implement, Alice will now be told “You and Bob both like romance!”

They were founded in 2012 and exist primarily to challenge US laws that are overtly religious. If a governor passes a law saying public schools must teach Bible study, atheists can’t legally object under US law. You can only object if a law violates your religion, not your lack of religion. So what if you made atheism a religion? That’s the Satanic Temple.

It’s Satanic themed on purpose because “court rules schools must provide children Satanic literature” makes for a funny headline when in reality it’s just a paragraph about critical thinking.

You’re right to push back – that excerpt does resemble LLM produced text.

Blahaj has a very strict stance. I thought it was a bit much at first myself, but their instance doesn’t have the same feel of those snobbish reddit/lemmy communities that ban anyone who doesn’t agree with their top posters/mods. Their intense moderation is meant to encourage participation which sounds paradoxical but does seem to be working.

Work ethic is the belief that hard work instills virtues like diligence, discipline, and honesty. An example would be giving a kid chores to do believing it will help them develop a good character. Protestants even taught it as a core part of their religion. It’s not the idea that you should make your boss rich. However, while capitalists didn’t invent the idea, they have certainly benefited from it.

My current company makes it real easy. All their simulated phishing addresses use the fictitious TLD of “.corn” so I just setup an email rule to filter them.

Most couples think they’re Jim and Pam, but my ex-wife and I always laughed about how much we were like Michael and Jan. It wasn’t as funny when we started arguing in front of dinner guests in real life though.

Sitting with a Nobel Prize winning mathematician: Is 4 a lot?

My project and I were having problems, but opening things up and bringing in Claude has reignited the fire we once had. We’re committing changes like it’s our first week together again and adding features we never would have thought of adding before. Some people make fun of me when they see Claude’s commit messages in my project, but I’m confident enough in my programming abilities that I don’t let it bother me. I know my project and I have something special.

What a thrill…

I’m worried about cognitive surrender. There’s evidence of people losing skills they once had because they stopped doing it themselves and just get AI to do it for them.
