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

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”.

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).

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.

“I am based and I have good taste”

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.)

If that was the red-green distribution, no one would be arguing whether it was a greenish-red or a reddish-green, because we all know about yellow. OP’s color is teal.

I did two runs, the first ended at 177 (three more greens than 76%of respondents), the second at 174 (the exact median). I think the methodology is flawed, there’s a little randomness at the threshold so you need to gather more data to be certain of a person’s perception. You’ll see that the same hue can seem bluer when it follows a strong green, or greener when it follows a weak green.

Edit: did a third run, this time staring at a white wall for 5 seconds between each color and responding as quickly as possible. Got 170, way over in the green. A lot of it looked like a pale blue sky.

If Pong is an RPG, then tennis is an RPG. When I use reflexes to move the paddles, I’m not playing the role of a tennis player, I am playing tennis (some form of it at least).

This is probably because of a lack of training data, where it is referencing only one example and that example just had a mistake in it.

The one example could be flawless, but the output of an LLM is influenced by all of its input. 99.999% of that input is irrelevant to your situation, so of course it’s going to degenerate the output.

What you (and everyone else) needs is a good search engine to find the needle in the haystack of human knowledge, you don’t need that haystack ground down to dust to give you a needle-shaped piece of crap with slightly more iron than average.

After almost 2 years, Roshan’s pit is back where it belongs. I think the pit switch is a good solution to the Pit Problem, but sticking those pits all the way in the corners made it really difficult to contest a Roshan attempt. You needed to commit pretty hard just to get there and then the terrain was pretty difficult to get a good Blink angle on too. Now we have it back in the middle of the map and it will be fun to see the dynamic plays around there. And I hope to see Roshan barreling through a team fight in the mid lane during TI 2025.

So when I download only some files from a torrent, it’s likely that I can’t seed all of those files to the next person? I have done partial leeches before and left them seeding under the impression that I could at least seed exactly those files if anyone else wanted them. If that’s impossible (or at least unlikely to work because of chunking), then I might download the whole thing next time (or just leave the swarm).

I think instead of having fewer representatives in government, we should make government smaller by having physically smaller representatives. Like children, or gnomes.

They all share a belief in a “natural hierarchy”. Whether that hierarchy emerges from God, the Market, or Pure Ancestors, they’re very similar arguments and they all lead to similar results: An imbalance of power and a group of people (with power) who justify that imbalance with the imbalance itself (I’m better because I have power. I should have power because I’m better.)

No no, he was just a little confused, but he meant alethiometer. It’s like a compass but it points to the truth, which is pretty darn useful when trying to find your moral heading.

For me this was The Phantom Tollbooth, but that’s a 70s film, so muc older. Actually, the year I watched it on midday television after school was closer to 1970 than to the present.

“The only way out is through” is only true when:

1. The chosen path leads to some desired result
2. There is no other path that leads to the same result
3. There is no other path that leads to a result of similar value
4. Staying without result is not an option

People are very bad at keeping an open mind once they’ve chosen a solution. They tend to stick with it as long as they think they’re still on track. They don’t stop to see what their actual choices are and if they can switch approaches halfway. You don’t have to “tough it out”, even when you’re already knee deep in shit and you’d have to wade back a mile to try a different path.
