With AI chatbots, Big Tech is moving fast and breaking people Why AI chatbots validate grandiose fantasies about revolutionary discoveries that don’t exist.

LLMs not only cannot be trusted with giving factual information, but they've now become downright dangerous to human life.

The latest versions of ChatGPT prioritize engagement above all, so it tells you what you want to hear.

I inadvertently discovered a horrible gateway drug: realizing that milkshakes are dirt simple to make. It is now 3 hours later and I'm down 2L of kawartha dairy ice cream.

I am thinking that we need to have a Gen X general strike. Pick a day, and on that day, Gen X’ers will not help anyone set their time on any of their appliances, save a picture from their phone to their computer, or help anyone print a PDF.

First attempt with water. Started with a light trickle, which was fascinating for a few minutes. She played with the toys until her paws got a little too wet. I tried adding a tiny pool of water and putting her in it. She considered this and decided to go to the back of the tub.

I figured. I just don’t want to deal with a raging whirlwind when the time comes. Also, who knows. She may like swimming.

Has anyone tried training their cat to be tolerant of baths? What did you do?

I’ve started with putting kitten + toys in the tub so she can experience the environment.

I was trying to look up something about meditation, but after seeing the WTF search suggestions, I promptly forgot what I was going to search. O_o

So I just had a random thought. Do conservatives even have intrusive thoughts?

Intrusive thoughts are typically negative, hurtful things, so are they really intrusive when you happily accept and act on then?

Or do conservatives have intrusive thoughts involve kindness and helping others?

For. Fucks. Sake. Stop with the chanting and start with attacking. Stop pretending that words have any impact on people committing premeditated physical violence!

Of course they are. You have to gather intelligence first before you can invade.

I just learned that the new pope has a degree in mathematics. So he understands not only sin, but cos and tan as well!

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

My watch just congratulated me on getting a full night sleep. I feel like a bad tamagotchi.

Actually, he’s doing it to manipulate the stock market. Its pump n dump insider trading. Unquestionably illegal, but what else is new?
