Dutch, He/Him. Nickname predates the 2 culture wars which people could read into it (by decades), I just refuse to change it because they are the ones who suck.

I could be convinced to unfollow @acausalrobotgod.bsky.social for less. (On social media an unfollow is equivalent to 1^^^2 people being tortured with dust specs). My DMs are open DAIR.

What are the scientific uses of a platypus vs for example the Hubble Telescope? Esp in the context of the conversation above.
And do make your answer rhyme.

Counterpoint: 'It is not great'
Or as todays LLMs would say 'it is great'.

explain to people that not only are they wrong, but they also now need to tell people to unlearn the stuff a chatbot told them (and people resist that even more than being told they are wrong). When I say I mean it is fascinating I mean it like a platypus is fascinating, not like how a telescope is.

not know what we don't know. Which is worse than just googling things, because of the sycophantic way the LLMs speak, and the authority people give to their voices. Please do not use them, experts will scream at you. (Already happend a few times in open source software, developers do not like to

I'm reminded of the prof with a math pdh who said that it is great and a powerful research tool, it just every now and then made mistakes that he with his phd found hard to spot. (which to me means it is unusable, as being taught wrong is worse than not knowing). We think it is good because we do

Well technically on the computer science level it is quite cool and fascinating, but on the practical use level it is not. Bit like nuclear physics in theory, and in practice. Sadly I fear the damage eventually will be worse than just 'Don't go swimming in Lake Karachay'

But yes, sorry I was going on the quote tweets who made this look like he blamed ICE, while he is doing the standard cop/soros conspiracy theorist thing.

Yeah, I'd figure that 'it cannot properly summarize negation' (as a word prediction machine) would be an pretty convincing argument, which is why I brought it up.

You are right I misread the post by the park service (as I didn't read all the posts) but this is just the same old divide and conquer bs. Where they try to say 'sorry we would have let you protest if you did it nicely so we could have ignored it'. He is blaming civilians not ICE.

But this is just the same old playbook, blaming some imaginary outsiders for breaking things. While reporters have mentioned that windows get broken because the cops are missing their shots at protestors. And cars are being burned because ICE is using them to track 'immigrants'.

Yes, he is blaming the protestors here.

Yeah, and tbh even at $150/hour that feels like a horrible job for those consultants. Imagine how bad the code will be and how horrible it will be to work with the vibe coding boss who goes 'but chatgpt says that ...' every 15 minutes.

Yep, from what I heard Miller always had contempt of the poor. (see the story about him not wanting to sign a birthday card for a janitor because 'you do not fraternize with the help' and Yarvin wants to turn poor people into diesel). Comic book villainy, but without the cool looks or oneliners.

Do you have a source for that? As from what I saw he said the opposite and blamed the protestors. lamag.com/news/lapd-ch...
comment in response to

(Yeah, seems he literally said the opposite:
"The people who are out there doing the violence...they have a hoodie on, they have a a face mask on...these are people who do this all the time," McDonnell said of the most violent protestors" lamag.com/news/lapd-ch...)

Is there a better source for this than some alt-park account? From what I heard those accounts cannot really be trusted.

Ah sorry to have called out the wrong guy who was also wrong.

Remember for these systems an sentence like 'I do not like apples' and 'I like apples' are closely related. They do not deal with negation well at all. Which should make it unusable for a lot of school work.

Saw one tread so far, think some muting of the words could work.

(And im not anti-second life, I like the idea of those kinds of communal virtual worlds vs the more Theme park ride + raiding MMO stuff we have now. Bring in the flying dongs that make copies of themselves).

I think back often on the Second Life era, esp when all the journalistic outfits seemed to repeat/report on the amounts of accounts created in Second life (millions!) and nobody seemed to talk about concurrent users, or user retention, or daily active users etc.

But yeah, I didn't expect better from anybody who distills this all down to 'anti-tech culture war'.

'guess what everybody already has in their pockets' well that is a wrong equivalence if I have ever seen one. Of scale, consent and actively sharing information with others. 2: seems like a bad option as the company was already complying, they could just turn it on, esp as they are their cars.

Indeed. (I also wanted to say something like this, but just adding another comment feels spammy, but just a like too little).

Also, there is the other thing, they are spying on people, if the stories of the Waymo cars being involved in ICE raids is true.

Of course Team Musk/Trump/Vance/Yarvin need to have solid concrete action plans, and need to be smart and intelligent, it is that or accept that we have been beaten by bumbling fools, trolls and cargo cult 'intellectuals' who confuse goals for planning.

Musk seems to be a negative influence re the causes he supports, so not surprised.
