It’s a Large Language Model designed to generate natural-sounding language based on statistical probabilities and patterns - not knowledge or understanding. It doesn’t “lie” and it doesn’t have the capability to explain itself. It just talks.

That speech being coherent is by design; the accuracy of the content is not.

This isn’t the model failing. It’s just being used for something it was never intended for.

I love this.

I too hear all the sounds much more clearly now. Some of them sound quite expensive.

One day around 7 years ago I turned off the radio in my truck and I never turned it back on. I just sit in silence and I honestly prefer it that way.

Edit: to elaborate a little: I consider it almost like a meditative practice. I drive virtually every day, so this way I can quite easily force what I consider to be a healthy near-daily habit.

I do the same thing with my phone whenever I’m queuing.

I was in a relationship from 18 to 34. Now, for the first time in my entire adult life, I’m single instead of jumping straight into the next one.

No doubt there are things I miss about being in a relationship - and I still probably lean toward that being the ideal setup - but relationships have downsides too, just like being single has upsides.

I’m not sure what the final tally of that equation looks like, but every now and then I catch myself wondering whether I even need to be in a relationship at all. I spent most of my childhood practicing playing alone, and I got pretty damn good at it.

What do you even do on Instagram for 16 hours?

Starlink doesn’t work in Russia or in Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine. It does, however, work near the front lines - exactly where Ukrainians need it most. That’s why Russia has been able to use those terminals there, as well as on drones flying behind Ukrainian lines.

What changed now is that it got disabled across all of Ukraine - but Ukrainians are whitelisted and can register their terminals to get them working again. Russians can’t. They also disabled Starlink for anything moving faster than 70 km/h, since Shahed drones can’t fly that slow.

Wasn’t he trying to take that away from Ukraine at some point?

You’re probably refering to this incident: Did Elon Musk Turn Off Starlink Access in Crimea To Disrupt Ukrainian Attack?

No, he didn’t turn it off - it was never enabled in the first place so that Russians can’t use it.

You couldn’t really warn future civilizations about the dangers of a true Artificial General Intelligence - because there probably wouldn’t be any future civilizations.

And even that assumes the problem magically solves itself once humans disappear, which it wouldn’t. A real AGI would be perfectly capable of continuing to exist without us around.

I’ll start paying for YT before I ever start watching ads. I won’t as long as I don’t have to, but the second they finally figure this out, I’m subscribing.

It’s well worth the money considering how much I use it and for how long I’ve used it for free. It’s honestly one of the few streaming services actually worth paying for.

Apparently there is a way around it as I’ve been watching YouTube all day and haven’t encountered a single ad.

Ah, or mAh might be a little confusing though - two different batteries can have the same Ah rating but wildly different capacities.

I always convert everything to watt-hours by multiplying ampere-hours by voltage.

Cut thinner slices? Idk. That never happens to me and I slice cucumber daily. I don’t think I could make a slice roll even if I tried to - they just fall over.

Well, they don’t in this case either - they just add an extra step to it. You can buy a bit like that off eBay.

I went looking for a screenshot of that scene but got distracted by all the shop-vacs painted as R2D2. Off to buy white and blue paint.

Not to defend BMW here but it’s likely a very specific part that this screw is used for and 99% of home mechanics probably are never going to encounter it. Most likely having something to do with the high-voltage system which you shouldn’t be messing with anyway.

Their packaging used to say “oat milk”. I don’t know how long ago they changed that.

Exactly. That’s why I corrected that it’s statistically extremely unlikely but not impossible.

No. “Impossible” is an absolute statement, whereas “extremely unlikely” leaves a non-zero chance for the unlikely thing to actually happen.

It’s not impossible but it’s extremely unlikely.

And what photo they’re using. Most news outlets use unflattering pictures of the people they don’t like.
