As someone who’s lived for extended periods in shipping containers in East Africa: If you’re there voluntarily as part of your job, it’s really nowhere near as bad as the article makes it sound. People do it all the time. (If you’re there involuntarily, that’s an entirely different matter.)

Actually, this isn’t true. No such play or movie was ever produced.

Today’s online antidepressant:

I know this battle is lost, but: Can we stop calling it “hallucinating”? They’re not tripping, they’re doing what they’re designed to do: generate a series of statistically likely sentences. The technology doesn’t care whether the sentences are accurate, as long as they’re statistically likely.

Always remember and never forget: Accuracy plays zero role in determining LLM chatbots’ responses. It’s not just that they sometimes “glitch” or “hallucinate”. The technology has no way to take accuracy into account in any way. Responses like this are what they are designed to produce.

Saw an abandoned dog bootie on the sidewalk, and of course thought of @artwells.com

Great. Now I’m going to be obsessing over how to get to the doggy daycare dimension.

As someone who lived in South Sudan once upon a time, I have to ask: is there any way we can talk about what happened today without resorting to racist charicatures about sub-Saharan African countries?

I've used Android since v1.0. If Google implements this as described, I will immediately switch to another OS. (Not iOS, but perhaps one of the open source Android variants?)

the #1 rule of spiders, other than that they are innocent crabs, is they don't know what you are. you look like a drifting mountain to them. even most medically significant guys, like the brown recluse, don't want to bite unless they literally feel you injuring their body.

Of course, the bit about “design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers” is also complete fiction. It has no capacity at all to assess whether an answer is truthful or evidence based. It’s designed to produce answers that resemble the content it was trained on.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

Political corruption is a complex phenomenon that is very poorly understood in much of the West, particularly the US. That’s in part because some people would rather corruption not be well understood, studied, or analyzed effectively. This particular SCOTUS definition is most certainly not helpful.
