This is the kind of AI they’re “celebrating”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-assisted_targeting_in_the_Gaza_Strip

Fucking deplorable.

Don’t know but copyright holders have demonstrated a few cases where they got AI to blatantly rip off copyrighted pictures or music.

Another ridiculous policy I’ve seen (many years ago) is logging in too fast. I used to get locked out of my banks website all the time and I used autotype with KeePass so I was baffled when it wouldn’t get accepted. Eventually I had a thought to slow down the typing mechanism and suddenly I didn’t get locked out anymore.

It’s a good read (or listen if you’re into audiobooks) but it’s also easy to find the main points summarized.

Usually it doesn’t solve my problems but it gives me a few places to start looking. I know some models are capable of this but to get a perfectly accurate and useful response would probably require it to recall a specific piece of input it was given and not just an “average” of the inputs.

If you’re into short stories the Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury is a good one.

And while I didn’t read much Issac Asimov myself my wife, who loves reading but dislikes sci-fi, read one of his books (Foundation) in a day and said he’s an excellent writer.

Up. North on a map is always up.

I kind of enjoyed being a tutor in college so maybe go back and be a staff-level instructor (lower level courses). If it wasn’t actual work (for pay) probably I’d focus on contributing to open source projects I thought would really help people.

I’d agree with this recommendation. I believe there were multiple occasions where my router assigned a dynamic IP the same as some other reserved IP. Hard as hell to diagnose. Key indicator was that roughly half the packets were being lost.

Yeah, I’m starting to ween my son off of video games. Everything that isn’t video games is “boring” for the mere fact it’s not a video game.

They’ve come full circle jerk.

I used to think “change” you got from a store was just the business being nice and making sure you didn’t walk away without any money.

* sees robot. looks around. *

Average idiot: Huh. No crime in sight. Guess it’s working.

I2I your picture so it’ll slowly collapse their model.

Die Hard and Galaxy Quest.

The pacing of these movies is great. There’s really no part of either I’d fast forward.

The thing I dislike most about code assisting tools is that they’re geared to answering your questions instead of giving advice. I’m sure they also give bad recommendations but I’ve seen LLMs basically double down on bad code.

I hate writing lengthy apology letters too.

Back in the day I nearly kissed the ground Ron Paul walked on. There was also about as much conspiracy theory swirling among his followers as there is with MAGA.

It’s really astounding that Donald will lie his ass off about almost anything but can’t muster the will to lie about protecting Ukraine. No rational person could think he intends to do anything but hand over Ukraine to Russia.

Birth of my first child. It wasn’t just life-changing because “now I’m a father” and such but he had heart disease and the first few months were really rough. It doubly reinforced that my time of being a big kid is over and I have to be an actual adult because lives can easily be ruined or lost by passing the buck and letting other people make my decisions for me.
