lol we had plenty of warning, the problem is no one gave a fuck

These tricks have never worked for me, I wonder if that has some implication. I can see working clocks in dreams, both the digital and analog kinds. Reflections look normal. Hell, I’ve looked directly at myself (or a doppelganger?) in dreams before.

So are LLMs reliable for research like that?

No. Of course not. They’re not reliable for anything. They don’t have any kind of database of facts and don’t know or attempt to know anything at all.

They’re just a more advanced version of your phone’s predictive text. All they do is try to figure out which words most likely go in what order as a response to the prompt. That’s it. There is no logic of any kind dictating what an LLM outputs.

So don’t even bother locking your front door then?

Pretty much because cops might walk in if there’s nothing physically stopping them but they’d have to do a bunch of paperwork if they smash my window to get in. In a world without cops I probably wouldn’t lock my doors.

Let’s not make it easy for the rando who doesn’t know much of anything.

When and why is “the rando who doesn’t know much of anything” accessing your home PC?

Home computer? I wouldn’t even have a password. If someone has physical access to your PC there are ways for them to get what they want no matter how strong your password is. You just need it to be secure enough to prevent specific people you know have access from getting in. Family, friends, whatever. So basically the only risk is that you use a password that they know you use because you shared an account with them or something.

Me. I’ll play Wilson. Listen idk what the fuck that last guy was doing but my take on this character is gonna be a hit, you’ll see

You know I’ve never quite bought the hermit crab shells = houses analogy. They seem much more analogous to armor.

It comes from racist car customization slang, yes.

Of course! Thanks for being cool. It always sucks to learn a term you’ve been using has a shitty meaning you didn’t intend, and some people react to that realization quite poorly as we can see below lol

Please enjoy your ban whenever a mod sees this.

What exactly is it that people obsess over? The ricing?

Please refrain from using racist terms. Here’s a good thread about it.

give it a few hundred million years and ours won’t be able to do a total solar eclipse either :(

I was gonna complain about the same thing, whole image is ruined

I pointed out what I considered (and still consider) to be the most likely use for the tech you were describing, while asking you if that was your intention. A simple “no, actually I was thinking more about another use case” would have been a far more neutral and reasonable response. Instead, you assumed I was speaking in bad faith and responded in kind. You are the only one making assumptions or starting fights for no reason.

I just criticized your behavior assuming things, before you know the whole truth.

I didn’t assume anything. I asked you what your intended use case was and you responded with vague platitudes, sarcasm, and then once I pressed further, insults. Try re-reading your comments from a more objective standpoint and you’ll find neutrality nowhere within them.

Ever thought about identifying ships full of refugees and send help, before their ships break apart and 50 people drown?

No, I didn’t think about that. If you did, why exactly were you so hostile to me asking what use you thought this might serve?

no u

My intended use case is to find possibilities how ML can support people with certain tasks.

weaselly bullshit. how exactly do you intend for people to use technology that identifies ships via satellite? what is your goal? because the only use cases I can see for this are negative

This is no reason to stop science entirely

if the only thing your tech can be used for is bad then you’re bad for innovating that tech
