Fortunately most small business owners (the ones that are good at it anyway) are very good at spotting when a larger company is trying to filch them. They also don’t tend to share an obsession for growth at all costs and value stability instead.

Yeah I think consciousness is evidence in and of itself that the universe can organize into a higher order. It would be conceited to claim that because I obtained consciousness that means I can understand how that higher order functions. My consciousness will never reform exactly how it is now, but that is just a reflection of an ever changing universe.

You can find your own peace through the death of your ego. I wouldn’t call it coping, but being in touch with reality. We are all just a piece of a cycle, consciousness is but a beautiful gift of circumstance.

Can confirm that enough magic mushrooms will cause you to see and feel god.

Makes dying a lot more comfortable when one realizes its another illusion.

Locally hosted LLMs are a better option, but it doesn’t change the fact that the technology is designed outright to give a statistically likely result (based on the training data), instead of a correct one. LLMs make “guesses” about what the output should be and are not capable of internal regulation. They do not understand concepts and merely regurgitate jumbled data back at you with no consideration for content beyond that what can be analyzed statistically. It’s not a question of if they will make a mistake, but where and when.

https://youtube.com/shorts/ZMP8_jD-y0s These kinds of responses are an inherent feature of how they function, they cannot be fixed or tweaked out of the system.

Its a buzz term they’ve been using to obfuscate the fact that every piece of LLM slop needs a human to review it, thus costing more time and money than hiring a competent human straight out.

I seem stuck using nalgenes. They’re not great. I tried switching to glass carafes but it didn’t work out. The metalic lids would rust out on to the lip and could not be cleaned. The nalgenes are durable(ish) and versatile which keeps me stuck on em. 1 liter is the perfect amount of water, the loop on the top is a nice low key handle, and they’re water tight as anything, even when the threads have been smashed. Just forget about the microplastics.

Better not to ask, and just bring the void treats as a surprise.

People have been saying that but me and my over-ripe butthole enjoy the pain of a thousand wipes.

Some instances, like the one I’m on, are defederated from the purely NSFW ones.

The wikipedia page says that exactly how they work is proprietary, so who really knows.

For applications like language translation they’re the best automated tools we have. But its too little to justify how over extended the investment into it is.

If they ever get around to changing fundamentally how it works, I’ll give it another try. I don’t like having to second guess everything it says, defeats the entire purpose of trying to use it If I have to verify everything. We made a similar but pared down output generator in college once, that worked in essentially the same way. We fed it a bunch of Freida Khala poems so all it would output was strange fragments of those. But that experience taught me, perhaps too well, how these things work under the hood. I can’t imagine how many guardrails and parameters they have set up just to get it functional.

I stopped trying to use GPT back in 2023 after I tried using it to research something for the first time.

Can I be on it?? ❤️❤️❤️❤️🫣

You can’t out-reason an idiot.

Its kind of an American thing to brag about having 1/16 of insert heritage here

Ive had tinnitus throughout my living memory. Unsure if it’s because I was a loud child or something inherent to my physiology. Maybe having no memory of perfectly crisp hearing makes it easier to forget, but I can’t say that it has truly affected my quality of life. I can still sing in a choir and listen to jazz. Mine might be a milder case, I have no way of knowing, but please don’t allow it to keep you from doing what you enjoy.

It’s not that DW is dumb, its that she is stubborn and obstinate about being told what to do. Clearly you understand what the post was asking, you are just upset because it didn’t ask it the way you wanted and doesn’t contain the sentiment you wanted either.
