How do I link a community again?

She’s now at the point where she’s defending her defending of them, so clearly she’s getting pushback. I really don’t mind it though. Most people are normal people with no desire to cause harm. Most people are misinformed about politics. So yes, a bunch of R voters don’t support current events, once you explain to them what’s actually happening. They’ll still vote R next time, of course, because they don’t care enough to inform themselves.

I really like Some More News. They’re kinda like Last Week Tonight in style: in-depth reporting on bigger issues, with some jokes thrown in. They also make two episodes of Even More News a week, but those are more hype-of-the-day with less analysis behind them. Honestly feels like it’s just their brainstorm sessions recorded and released as a podcast.

Despite all her frustration with the language, she speaks it very well. And she’s totally right of course, Wikipedia even includes the demonym in the cheat sheet on every country page, just because no one ever knows them.

But licking oneself or others for the purpose of affection is still fine, right??

There’s one valid use-case for LLMs: when you have writer’s block, it can help to have something resembling an end product instead of a blank page. Sadly, this doesn’t really work for programming, because incorrect code is simply worse than no code at all. Every line of code is a potential bug and every line of incorrect code is a guaranteed bug.

I use an LLM with great success to write bad fanfiction though.

You can save time at the cost of headaches, or you can save headaches at the cost of time. You cannot save both time and headaches, you can at most defer the time and the headaches until the next time you have to touch the code, but the time doubles and the headaches triple.

Neither LLMs nor ICMs are AI in any sense of the word, is my point. LLMs happen to give the illusion of intelligence because of their language-based nature, but they’re not fundamentally different from ICMs.

Image classification model isn’t really “AI” the way it’s marketed right now. If Google used an image classification model to give you holiday recommendations or answer general questions, everyone would immediately recognize they use it wrong. But use a token prediction model for purposes totally unrelated to predicting the next token and people are like “ChatGPT is my friend who tells me what to put on pizza and there’s nothing strange about that”.

Any other newspaper should know better. The Washington Times doesn’t want to know better, because “I didn’t know” is a very convenient excuse when you publish Nazi shit every day.

Google Lens already did that though, all you need is decent OCR and an image classification model (which is a precursor to the current “AI” hype, but actually useful).

Blocked an ad that fucked up the css so dramatically that the checkout button is now permanently stuck at -10% of viewport.

Imagine being in 2018+7 and after finally abandoning the sewer of the internet and moving to barely-an-improvement Bluesky, you take a screenshot of your Bluesky post, open the bane of civilization, the killer of democracy, the Guantanamo Bay of the digital world, motherfucking Facebook and pretend like you’re an upstanding, principled citizen.

Oh, but actually his post is the lowest of the low, making potshots at the sheep instead of addressing the policy itself. Declaring English the official language is the virtue-signaling of the right. Nobody cares about the actual goal, implementation or effects of such a declaration; the politicians and their voters and Steve here only care about the optics.

I just reply to things that show up my feed honestly and pretty randomly

No one asked you to and in fact temp banned you for it, so try to read the room next time

Why the hell would you go on a book community, open a discussion post that is clearly asking for personal opinions and go “I dunno lol go ask chatgpt”. I would’ve banned you too tbqh.

Yeah, I’m just memeing. The first thought in my head when I read her name was “…and Zendaya?? Oh-ho damn…”

The babies were introduced as a plot device in Shrek the Third in 2007 and no one really cared about them. They returned in Shrek Forever After, this time as characters instead of stakes, but not many people were interested to see another Shrek movie after Shrek the Third. Forever After was kinda decent though, from what I remember. Compared to 3 at least.

You can find Friendship is Witchcraft on Youtube, it’s some of the best the fandom ever made. (Also, the show itself is pretty good, would recommend.)

Zendaya is a former Disney Channel star who is best known for voicing Shrek’s daughter Felicia in the recently released teaser for Shrek 5.

The total area of Greenland is 2.1 million km², but where other countries have usable land and maybe some lakes, Greenland has 1.7 million km² of ice. There’s some land under there, but much less than you might think:

The US has 9.1 million km² of actual land, so if we’re counting the ice, a quarter is about right.
