However, when testing the models in a set of scenarios that the authors said were “representative” of real uses of ChatGPT, the intervention appeared less effective, only reducing deception rates by a factor of two. “We do not yet fully understand why a larger reduction was not observed,” wrote the researchers.

Translation: “We have no idea what the fuck we’re doing or how any of this shit actually works lol. Also we might be the ones scheming since we have vested interest in making these models sound more advanced than they actually are.”

Bezos is so out of touch it is stupid.

Is he out of touch or has he just recognized that 50% of the economic activity is already from the top 10% of the population?

I get the feeling the wealthy have just written off the bottom 90% of society and don’t actually give a flying fuck if anything works for us or not. He knows his core sales will go to people who do have fiber at their doorstep.

Maybe we’re the ones out of touch thinking they plan on having a place for us in this world at all.

I keep getting a 502 bad gateway. Even Lemmy is more stable than this.

They launched it before for influencers to join, and I’m not sure how many did.

The return of MrBabyMan

In 2019, Gates characterized his relationship with Epstein as a ‘huge mistake’.

Probably because it was the final straw for his wife Melinda, and Gates wasn’t happy how much she would take in the divorce. Considering he was a serial philanderer and often used his position at Microsoft as a way to meet women (including Melinda!), it’s not like he respected that marriage or his wife very much, so it can’t be that he’s sad about losing her or something, so my bet is on sad he was going to lose a lot of wealth over his Epstein connections.

Massgrave doesn’t work for Office I’m pretty sure.

I wonder if Yakko, Wakko, and Dot regret having Bill play the sax in the intro to Animaniacs.

Wonder if Biden regrets taking credit for writing the PATRIOT Act, setting the stage for using claims of “domestic terrorism” as an excuse for mass surveillance and treating US citizens like they’re dangerous for existing, much like they did with Aghani and Iraqi citizens.

I wonder if Hillary regrets her “Pied Piper” strategy to elevate Trump during the primaries in 2016 through her media connections yet.

This is a direct result of her own hubris, but I bet she still blames the voters despite directly having a hand in getting to where he is.

Woosh.

In April 2011 he also made a sockpuppet account on MetaFilter to jerk himself off with self-aggrandization while pretending to just be a fan, only to be called out basically immediately by regular MetaFilter users.

There’s so many ways to suck and this guy tried basically all of them.

So why not just not subscribe to news focused (especially US news focused) communities?

I don’t understand why people have such trouble with this. I have curated my own feed of subscribed communities and I already only see stuff I want to see. Is this really that difficult? Don’t want US news? Don’t sub to US-centric news communities (whether in name or not). Don’t want furries? Don’t subscribe to furry communities? Don’t want anime? Don’t subscribe to anime communities. Don’t want politics? Don’t subscribe to political communities. Don’t want memes? Don’t subscribe to meme communities. I genuinely don’t understand why that’s not enough for people.

Yeah you don’t hear this kind of criticism about unlikeable characters in a lot of fiction, like say Walter Sobchack from The Big Lebowski. He is legitimately terrible, selfish, and controlling. He tries to steal the Big Lebowski’s money and then lies to his face at the end of the film saying “as if we’d ever try to steal your dirty money!” What makes Walter such a good character is because of how disarmingly real that is. He’s not a person who is actually very likeable at all, but you don’t usually get people saying they don’t like The Big Lebowski because they don’t like Walter.

I think what gets missed a lot by folks who don’t like her character is that it’s good to have a character who is flawed and that sometimes those flaws arise from what they’re going through.

She definitely has her issues, for sure. Yet it read to me that her issues arose far more from the combination of this world-changing event and losing her romantic partner in a very traumatic way. Not a lot of time has passed, at the end of the series less than three months have passed since “the joining” and Carol losing her partner. These traumatic events combined: losing the person you trusted and love the most and the whole world changing overnight with everyone thinking the event that killed your loved one is the best thing that could possibly ever happen. She has not had a lot of time to grieve and she obviously is grieving badly partially because her entire world has been turned upside down and she lost the person she loved. Carol’s partner isn’t one of the “others” waiting to be pulled out of their joined state back to normalcy, no she’s dead and gone forever.

None of this justifies her being kind of an asshole, but I think that’s the point. That she’s imperfect, she knows something is wrong, but she doesn’t have the skills to do anything about it, and she is spiraling from grief and loss of not just her loved one but her entire known way of life. She can’t even do simple things like go to a grocery store and have it bustling with individuals anymore. Every aspect of life that was normalcy and comfort has been torn from her and she’s in a bad way. This new world leaves her uncomfortable and feeling alienated. I can see myself spiraling and making selfish bad decisions in a similar situation as well, especially when only two and a half months have passed.

Unraid probably is in the pay resort area as well.

Rule 3789 of the Pirates Code: never keep your device fully charged.

I thought drones were just going to be a fad, but they’ve become huge, especially in terms of government and corporate surveillance. I should have realized the way it was going when America started using them militarily. American military inventions almost always end up becoming popular consumer products/applications.

Man I think all of us mistakenly thought this. The early internet had such promise.
