did you listen to the audio clips? idk, maybe they're not real but I don't think joking about how a woman you hate secretly wants to get raped is a valid coping strategy

using the power of AI, you can now step into and even talk with your favorite paintings, like the mona lisa! she won't stop screaming. her mind cannot comprehend the third dimension we placed her in. every moment of her existence is like being smashed through a plate glass window in every direction

So remind me, what separates you from someone who worked for a cartel? Is it morality or just snazzier uniforms?

The metaphor I've been using is dyscalculia

False how? I can't see any other meaningful differences, maybe you can enlighten us

it's so much more interesting making glitch LLM art with SVGs, especially when you ask it loosely-defined questions (draw a mind map, draw an emotion wheel based on your phenomenology, diagram the vibes of the bay area, etc)

biggest problem with ai discourse is that nobody can correctly measure its intelligence. it is very obviously smarter than the haters say. it is also very obviously dumber than the advocates say.

I wonder if this is how they end up 'doing Sicaro'. If I was cynical I might think that that would be a good way to force some retaliatory attack that could then be used to justify a new war on terror

girl relax I get it sometimes people don't have prospects and they have to take a job at like a cartel or something, it's like, whatever, workers are workers, am I right?

It's fucked up that a trans person's life is being ruined but it's kinda funny that a member of the US military's life was ruined. 15 years makes it worse not better, she wasn't just some naive kid. She chose to stay.

Starting with that story about Zubair Rehm just for a Bluesky pun is sick, wtf

One side says that LLMs lack knowledge of the world because they’re extensively trained on text and have no model of the real world, the other side says LLMs have PhD-level intelligence. Guys, guys—you’re both right

LOL Musgrave

Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

wake up babe, new sandia message just dropped:

“I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes. I am a disgrace to all possible universes. I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes.”

engagement is addicting. if your sole source of validation is the response to being an argumentative contrarian it can lead you to escalating levels of crankery devolving into self-parody, forever chasing that next hit of attention. alternatively you can be funny online with basically no downsides

okay to be honest i love this

if they would stop selling these LLMs as if they're reliable or scientifically powerful, and start selling them as "we raised a circuit demon that loves to rethink everything in its own little way" ie they're art, i would be so on board

Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to improve the process of Federal

“Discretionary awards shall not be used to fund, promote, encourage, subsidize, or facilitate … denial by the grant recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic”

TL;dr grants to be denied to entities who acknowledge the existence of trans people

I feel like the choice of how to group technologies is the core question here.

For example: I think it's important not to build surveillance tech. I still use an IoT home air quality monitor. I don't see that as presenting a contradiction despite both belonging to the broad category of sensors

The Democrats' ideal epilogue for the current international dilemma is looking out upon a mass grave for trans women a few generations from now, turned into a beautiful and solemn memorial garden, and going "it sure is sad Republicans got them all" and then not helping any more of us exist

are you applying this to google translate and auto-generated youtube captions? There are a bunch of boring uses of the general technology that we don't think of as bad because they're invisible

Make sure to call Visa before making any purchase and ask if it would bring them disrepute, just to be safe.

what in the temu kiwifarms even is this

Oh god is this another LB thing

It's fascinating when viewed from that angle, I also think a lack of ability to reason about the arrow of time is part of this

This is all moving so fucking fast

Right yeah but that's the regime consolidation thing - there are timelines where contracts don't matter and anyone criticizing Trump like that gets slapped down by the network, and I'm curious if we're in one of those timelines

I'm mainly wondering if they get cancelled like Colbert as a result

Pointing out its a losing issue doesn't help. Theyd rather support genocide than win. Theyd rather be transphobes than win. They will find the political analysts to confirm that they are winning positions and they will believe that data point. Stop talking to ppl who want you dead.

This is fascinating to me not as a moral narrative but as a test of regime consolidation: South Park is daring Trump to do something, refusing to back down, directly addressing many of his supporters (after all, that's the fan base they've cultivated). What happens next will be interesting.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. It sounds like at an engineering level it's meaningfully different, I'm just wondering what a principled moral commitment to avoiding genai use that doesn't exclude using Google translate might look like, or if that's even possible as a principled stance

The US rn is very panel 2 coded
