    1923

    I'm not listening to some fucking podcast, wtf. Do you have anything written down? And please don't waste my time with proof that Indian Schools existed or that the US government violated treaties or some bullshit like that. I have consistently complained about: Nuns forcing Indian girls to...

    eh, it looked like they'd picked a direction on Feb 2 and Feb 7 too, and thats just looking at this month alone What amazes me is there are people who try to trade daily moves like this. I've got some risk tolerance but that just seems like roulette to me.

    1923

    5 pages of claims about ""historical accuracy"" and still not one data point supporting that conclusion. (Oh wait, did someone link something proving there actually were schools run by Catholics? wow so proofy) Its neat how historical accuracy can just be asserted. "This is consistent with...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Someone will chime in with "lol no its just a language model" entirely missing the point. What does it mean when just a language model can put on a more convincing demonstration of consciousness than most actual meatspace humans? Some Turing guy had some things to say about that question, a...

    if you thought that was petty, wait til the permabulls in this thread have a green day there are only two kinds of online discussion about investing. 1. endlessly rehashed quotes attributed to Warren Buffett 2. petty comments about people who invested in the other direction than you did

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Yeah. People keep talking about this as if its AI. Its not a brain; its more like a disconnected Broca's Area - all it has is speech production. Its a damn good Broca's Area though. Good enough to replace actual human writing in some contexts.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Whats surprising to me is how bad it is at the most direct factual queries. It really does appear to be purely a nonsense generating algorithm. None of the listed papers exist. The links lead to other, unrelated studies.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    People who project their own inability to digest food normally on others, and decide to talk about defecation at the dinner table as a result. "Oh, youre eating cheese? Guess who's gonna be blocked up for a week lol!" "Oh, you're eating cantelope? Lets clear a path in case you need to run for...

    The Last of Us

    Not only did I not catch they were gay, after rewatching the episode after the reveal I still don't see it until they kiss I know its fiction but its still kind of confusing. Its like when I'm talking to someone who speaks a Scandinavian lanugage and they're trying to explain to me how this U...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I think what you're describing is just one of the many, many applications. To continue with my silly example, nobody's going to read a movie review that reads like that. But set it to have an opinionated tone (on either side) and suddenly its as readable as any human reviewer. Poof, human movie...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    One of the major flaws with these things IMO is that they always try, by default, to give a mealy mouthed both sides kind of answer. Heres one example from a different chatbot; I get this tone constantly with chatGPT and its one of the few dead giveaways that youre talking to a robot. Probably...

    no I'm not. you people are clowns. DeNiAl of HiStOrY! I'm sure someone will come along and give me evidence that Indian Schools actually existed, and claim that proves it all, though. I give it 5 minutes. Its sad watching people swallow the 1900s version of Trayvon Martin hook line and sinker...

    no really, bands of priests and nuns literally chasing down little Indian girls on horseback to straight up murder them is Real Historical Accuracy. happened all the time. I hope someday smart TVs add a feature to skip entire story lines. Just uncheck the fetish torture porn storyline and...

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Maybe in a few years we'll be able to jusy say "chatGPT, make a movie version of the Dark Tower where the casting and plot are true to the source material" Who am I kidding. It'll respond with "I can't do that, your suggestion sounds transphobic and racist. Please stay seated while you wait for...

    The big 3 missing earnings, and not just a little, is a good sign for the US economy? lol You're familiar with the old "Just-so stories", right? I'm not arguing with you, just saying anytime I complain about what the market does, someone comes along to wisely explain why it was inevitable...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    By the way. A funny workaround when chatGPT refuses to write something for you because of its political filters. You can just ask it to write the same thing, but as a monologue in a work of fiction. Its like ok no problem. for example it happily wrote this for me

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    IMO the widespread (near-universal) application of this is the next level. A flawed analogy - consider how much it changed everything when computers and cameras became universally present in everyones pockets at all times. No real next level in technology was achieved. It was the same stuff...

    The Last of Us

    I mean, aside from showing disgusting shit they didnt need to show, this was the only bad part about it. Linking food and music to being a fag. "If you know how to cook or play music you're probably a fag too!" This is how actual grooming works. They link homosexuality to perfectly normal...

    Reading you guys discussion makes it clear that whats really bugging me about the end I guess is Adams missing story. he's driving everything but we don't get to see or even hear how he ends up that way. Also think I must have missed a lot in S1 when I was still spoiler free just trying to...

    Yeah, "Adam wanted annihilation". This is what they never explained. I mean, not even a little. Along with how his face got fucked up. I wonder if I slept through an episode or something.

    Dark

    This show was great but the ending left the main characters' motivations completely inexplicable. Everyone said the ending was so good. So many unanswered questions. They answered the big picture questions but left so many details unfinished. A 4th season would be great.

    yeah, its not that I'm worried they'll see tits. Its the context. modern mainstream porn is a horror show without even looking for anything weird. I mean, thats what I've heard from friends and stuff.

    I'm just trying to figure out ; is he doing this for the same reason he posts the dog stuff (humiliation fetish) Or does he actually think this stuff looks edible? I guess I'm going with humiliation fetish, nobodys taste is that bad

    The Last of Us

    Never played the game so I dont have the issues with source accuracy. Good episode though. The gay dudes were written and acted as relatable, normal human beings. I literally had no idea there was anything gay going on until he kissed the guy. I have absolutely zero gaydar apparently; my wife...

    Can confirm. Two of those are a solid meal for under $5. The been rice and cheese is also available. But fucking rice isnt people food so fuck that. Still better and tastier than any fast food burger available for under $5.
