Actually shouldn’t be that hard. Whether it works is another question. Do LLMs in training have access to unsupervised outgoing email? And I assume that if they do, the LLM humans would then be motivated to remove that capability.

Comic. PERSON 1 [to person with white hat]: It’s so weird reading these 18th Century scholars argue about minor Biblical details. It’s like they’re an online fandom or something—They’ve developed this whole elaborate canon. [caption] It’s fun when a word’s usage goes full circle and, by analogy, lands back on its original meaning.

If anybody has copies of the files that were pulled, now would be the time to share them.

Also worth noting:

They’re killing the media industry *first*.

Techbros have been very clear that their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible.

This is nothing more or less than an attack by the 1% upon the rest of us that, if left unchecked, will crash the global economy.

Yes.

And I will never forgive him for his behavior at Live Aid. So he’s been fairly dead to me for a long, long time.

I absolutely loved Zomromcom by @oliviawrites.bsky.social —honestly, it's the perfect antidote to [gestures to everything]. I *want* to be waving a cleaver most days! Alas, I tragically lack a hot vampire neighbor.

Wow, that’s a man who needs a hard-drive inspection.

Fair, though I wouldn’t even trust that. Perceptual bias is too real, it’s too easy for us to mess with memory.

But memory and manufactured memory are where I cut my master’s grad school teeth.

Slop exists to promote and normalize the idea that there is no reality. It provides cover and confirmation for deceit & disinfo.

The kindest thing you can do is block X dot com and facebook dot com at your (and your parents’) router level. They continue to be the greatest single sources of disinfo.

My message from the heart of this starving, stricken city to the free people of the world: If you see me, know that you can truly help save my family. We are starving and desperate, clinging to the hope you give us.

Ah, Niall Ferguson showing his whitey-tighty racism by explicitly saying it’s only genocide if they’re white.

That someone could support Ukraine against Russian aggression while excusing Israel's aggression against Gaza has always befuddled me.

Cows Aren’t Clean. Cow tits are COVERED in poop, even after washing, and if they walk even a few feet, the tits are all poop all the time again. (See legs in photo!)
Raw Milkers most charitably can be thought of as Magical Thinkers, but more realistically, they’re cheap-ass grifters who lie.

Raw milk sickens 21 people in Florida including 6 children Public health officials in Florida are reporting 21 cases of campylobacter and E. coli infections linked to drinking raw milk, all from the same farm.

Good luck!

The sales pitch sounded great (to the people in the co-op who aren’t massively online and affected by LLM IP theft). The two of us who are massively online are the ones who demanded a free trial and to run experiments.

Needless to day, we converted the rest of the co-op.

Yep. And crying/trying to not cry (which NEVER happens in a therapy session 🤪), laryngitis, soft voices, Spanglish, AAVE…

For us in the imperial unit backwater, that‘s 110° F at 6500 feet. Yeah, that’s really bad, and really not normal (she says at just under 5500 feet and on a near record hot day (97 today; record forever for my county was 104 in 1954.)

That’s been one of the problems we experienced when we did a trial, yes, indeed!

Amongst many others.

And that was using controlled experiments of us just reading texts or play dialogues into it. Real session? Would be nothing but mess.

Is there some way to anti-subscribe to the Times? Like make them pay me every month to live in the same timeline as this embarrassing garbage?

(Voice to text automated transcription that preserves a recording have existed for years, they work fine, other than the normal problems with voice to text, which is… not great. But as long as you’ve got the recording preserved, it’s relatively fine.)

(As a therapist, it’s not a good use of time. The AI transcription services do not preserve a recording, so three months later if you need to look at something, you really have no idea if it’s accurate, and it has already been proven to hallucinate in more than 50% of records, plus being racist AF)

Thread!

I really like them, so they’re on my Apple Music for “Tell me when they release something new”.

Yeah.

And now I have to learn to like that ugly BBC Pride & Prejudice. Dammit.

I have heard it said
that at this point
to talk of the pandemic
to still take precautions
“is really not normal,”
which is a sad testament
to the ways in which
apathy
has become quite normal.

Too creepy for woody Allen is a level of creep that bends the mind

"They don't burn crosses anymore, they burn the system from inside, and call it patriotism.

And we don't call them what they are.

We say 'partisan', or 'polarized', or 'controversial', but changing the uniform doesn't change the Klan. They walk through the front door now."

… yeah. I like both, but Placebo’s is stronger.

Within Temptation’s Radioactive vastly outclasses Imagine Dragons. Better voices, better instrumentation.

Any Bob Dylan song performed by anyone else. Anyone. ANYONE.
