I couldn’t get better than I think 0.0032 earlier today, but just tried it now and… well.
Interestingly, my first attempt was on a 4K QD-OLED monitor. This result was on my iPhone.
An entire technology that exists to be a thought-terminating cliche.
Basically, LLM search is terrific for people who lack critical discernment, and just want quick access to plausible “answers” so they can check off the question as “resolved.”
I had to point out that the unanswered queries the LLM came up with were all hyper-specific and outside the scope of the page, which made me concerned about whether this exercise would instead teach people to overload pages with answers to arbitrary queries.
Had a meeting today in which we were talking about updating some trainings, and someone suggested an exercise of going through a sample page and listing what potential queries it answers, then using AI to come up with examples of queries it doesn’t answer, but maybe should.
Apparently Google has been moving away from keyword-based search to “semantic” search.
Which, yes, means LLMs. As in, based on your query, it’s supposed to “understand” what you want and get stuff that directly answers that query.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the shift is breaking image search.
I don't think I can do any better than this. I got maybe one of the 0.0020 ones.
Okay, Nazi.
I think Carrington is just a white man. Whether or not he's a Nazi, he's a white man with a bunch of his own problematic bullshit, and he wants to think that if Platner can slide on it, so can he when his day of reckoning comes.
Just like he wanted to "play" soldier by going to Iraq and Afghanistan, just like he hadn't had enough of the violence and imperialism when the military said so, and joined Blackwater.
And you want to believe he's had a complete change of heart, despite that he keeps having Nazi oopsies?
Fuck off.
Ask him if he's a Nazi directly so he can lie to me directly? No thank you. He had all the opportunities he deserved to nip this at the bud. Hell, he had more opportunities than most in that regard. He's had to have even the barest concessions on it pulled out of him. The man wants to be a bigot.
What is this going to accomplish? He has demonstrated a willingness to unabashedly lie to even the press. You think he's suddenly going to become honest when faced with a singular person asking him, one-on-one, if he's a Nazi?
You want a left-wing Trump so bad it's sickening.
I assume about the game? It’s my first extraction shooter, and I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts.
Dudley here got accused of it because he traffics in Khazar “theory,” a favorite of white supremacists for trying to undercut the identity of most Jews by applying both a false history and a blood quantum structure to Jewish identity.
He doesn’t need your sympathy, he needs a reality check.
It’s amazing to me how you’ll have zealots like Lindsey Graham openly posting about the attacks on Iran as some kind of holy war, and there’s a staunch contingent of the left determined to paint that zealotry as ingenuine to preserve the “AIPAC did it” narrative.
Lindsey Graham received under $1 million from pro-Israel advocacy for his campaigns over the 34 years from 1990 to 2024.
That’s less than 1% of the funds he’s raised and spent on his campaigns. You think they bought him for less than 1% of his war chest?
It also aligns nicely with the apocalyptic Evangelical ideology driving more than a few of them, which needs Israel to be on the front line of a war they think will usher in the Rapture.
You’re confusing “assertion” for “admission.”
There’s a long history of Western nations claiming it’s the Jews’ fault they had to do an imperialism.
Thank you for continuing to demonstrate your illiteracy.
It’s such a weird assertion to call the specific line in question “clunky,” too. It’s a sharp change in cadence that conveys a distinct, dismissive tone. It’s sarcastic without breaking character.
Oh, so you didn’t actually read the article you linked.
Yeah, Jews need to reconcile with how our semi-closed community can make it easier for us to protect and support malcontents and damaging ideologies within it. But that’s true of any cultural or social in-group, and doesn’t support Graham’s assertions about Jews, specifically.
They’re absolutely both; that article does not support anything to the contrary, and your use of it is illustrative of why in-group conversations like it’s advocating for are specifically in-group in the first place.
As a result, it has a few people who hate it, 10%, and 90% just don’t even give it a rating. It has a net positive of –10, making it “less popular.”
In a sense, yes. But it’s worth noting that this tracks awareness and intensity, not necessarily preference.
I’m going to give a very extreme example of how skewed this can end up being. Let’s say we’re polling something with options A and B. Option A has a huge number of people who both like and dislike it. 50% dislike, 45% like. This is a net positive of –5. Option B, most people don’t care about.
For example, ICE and Donald Trump both have greater negative scores than AI or the Democratic Party. But because more of what remains is positive, instead of ambivalent, they end up “more popular.”
More people hate ICE and Trump, but they also have people who actually like them.
It’s worth pointing out that “popular” is defined by net positive, but this means situations where a topic has both strong negative associations with some and relatively ambivalent associations with someone else are going to show up as less “popular” than topics with bivalent polarization.
I don’t know about other phones, but the iOS keyboard has gotten noticeably worse over time. In addition to trying to replace individual words with entire phrases and such, it has a know issue where it will show you that you’ve hit one letter, but then type an entirely different letter instead.
The way this caused me to stare silently, just blinking, at my phone.
*Bar Kokhba, though “Bad” Kokhba is kind of hilarious.
