Just remember, it can, and will, always get worse!
Yeah exactly. Loving the dude’s mental gymnastics to avoid the simplest answer and instead spin it into moralising about promptfondling more good
Swatting as a service
Sorry, as mentioned elsewhere in the thread I can’t open links. Looks like froztbyte explained it though, thanks!
Actually I’m finding this quite useful. Do you mind posting more of the article? I can’t open links on my phone for some reason
what is this “alignment” you speak of? I’ve never heard of this before
video events
Ah you see, this is proof that FSD is actually AGI. Elon told the FSD that it needs to maximise tesla profits. The FSD accessed a camera pointing at a tesla earnings report and realised that it could increase the value of tesla’s carbon credit scheming by taking out trees, hence the events of the video

Can ChatGPT pick every 3rd letter in “umbrella”?
You’d expect “b” and “I”. Easy, right?
Nope. It will get it wrong.
Why? Because it doesn’t see letters the way we do.
We see:
u-m-b-r-e-l-l-a
ChatGPT sees something like:
“umb” | “rell” | “a”
These are tokens — chunks of text that aren’t always full words or letters.
So when you ask for “every 3rd letter,” it has to decode the prompt, map it to tokens, simulate how you might count, and then guess what you really meant.
Spoiler: if it’s not given a chance to decode tokens in individual letters as a separate step, it will stumble.
Why does this matter?
Because the better we understand how LLMs think, the better results we’ll get.
MFs are boiling the oceans to reinvent cold reading

Just thinking about how I watched “Soylent Green” in high school and thought the idea of a future where technology just doesn’t work anymore was impossible. Then LLMs come and the first thing people want to do with them is to turn working code into garbage, and then the immediate next thing is to kill living knowledge by normalising people relying on LLMs for operational knowledge. Soon, the oceans will boil, agricultural industries will collapse and we’ll be forced to eat recycled human. How the fuck did they get it so right?
If I had my druther’s I’d make my own hosting and call it “UnaGit”, and pretend it’s unagi/eel themed, when it is actually teddy K themed
NASB: A question I asked myself in the shower: “Is there some kind of evolving, sourced document containing all the reasons why LLMs should be turned off?” Then I remembered wikis exist. Wikipedia doesn’t have a dedicated “criticisms of LLMs” page afaict, or even a “Criticisms” section on the LLM page. RationalWiki has a page on LLMs that is almost exclusively criticisms, which is great, but the tone is a few notches too casual and sneery for universal use.
Someone should write a script that estimates how much time has been spent re-fondling LLMPRs on Github.
you all joke, but my mind is so expanded by stimulants that I, and only I, can see how this dogshit code will one day purchase all the car manufacturers and build murderbots

Oof that’s the good stuff. Chuds with overly self-inflated egos co-opting eastern philosophy for tech shit is pretty well known around these parts. It’s refreshing to see it from a slightly different white guy.
Also, my usual muckraking bore unexpected fruit:
I’m gonna believe it. The Candace Owens part is disputed, and I daresay debunked, though.

From @BootsRiley:
Now is as good a time as any to tell people that Rick Rubin is a behind-the-scenes rightwinger who tries to recruit music industry folks to Q-anon type stuff and is who (according to Kanye) convinced Kanye to meet Candace Owens and endorse Trump.
He just looks like a hippie.
