Think that is in part intentional so people don’t start squabbling over what does and doesn’t count as ‘the edge’ in edge cases, as it also quite depends on the setup of the organization/people you are talking about. But yeah it is badly defined, which is also why I noticed it.

Like how this is an explainer for laymen but still just casually drops an ‘on the edge’ reference. The meaning of which might not be clear to laymen (the context explains it however, so it isn’t bad, just talking about how much jargon we all use).

Being that and saying stuff like :

Computers today are designed around engagement and surveillance business models rather than user needs.

Is something. Esp as they say the biggest problem is advertising and surveillance online.

exuberance

Truly a rightwing tech, after getting all the attention, money and data they now are mad people dont love it enough.

If you had measured the speed at which the resulting gossip had propagated across Skewers, Washington – measured it very carefully, and with sufficiently fine instrumentation – it might have been found to travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum.

How do you write like this? How do you pick a normal joking observation and then add more words to make it worse?

Still think it is wild they used the libgen dataset(s) and basically gotten away with it apart from some minor damages only for US publishers (who actually registered their copyright). Even more so as my provider blocks libgen etc.

It is sunday, so time to make some posts almost nobody will see. I generated a thing:

Indeed, people don’t seem to know (and it often slips my mind) just how hard it is to toss something in the sun.

felt much more thorough and organized

You know what people say about judging a book by its cover an all that? Of course a lot of people will fall for the ‘it looks good’ trap. Which is one of the whole problems of genAI, that it creates cargo cult styled texts.

E: and came across a nice skeet describing the problem " To steal a Colbertism: these are truthiness machines."

I have meds for that, but every now and then I don’t correct myself and go with the flow, my mind goes on tangents. I’m fun at parties.

I would not put much stock in ‘we asked the llm and got its prompt directly’ sort of research. Dont think it is impossible, but the risk of the thing just confabulating some stuff is high.

But lets hope this tricks Musk into releasing his prompts again. (Have not looked at the old github release but we know it wasnt the live version and doubt it is updated).

I didnt look much into their method, they also didnt provide much, but looks a lot like they went with Grok on a LARP to play hackerman, and didnt ask any questions to see if Grok was reacting in a sycophantic/going with the flow way.

Saw a stand in the supermarket with the terms “snack innovations” on it. Which just held a lot of monster cans, which reminded me how much I dislike the empty word ‘innovation’ now. And I took a course in innovation management at the uni (not sure if that was the title but it was the subject).

More worried about hostile takeovers of existing charities tbh. Esp when the requirements to do this get eased more and more every attempt.

Think some of the KDE people are old school punkers so might not be a big shock.

One really bad consequence this deal just opened the gates to is to make it much easier for corporations to gut charities.

I had not thought of that, horrible consequence. Also makes it even easier for the mega rich to hide their money from taxes using charities.

Ah that explains why people were talking about Ed critics. When it reached my feed it had already devolved into other convos about Zitron haters.

(And yes he isnt flawless, but that just means we need more people in the anti AI space).

Punishing my teleoperators because they dont walk with their head bowed enough.

(Anyone else noticed that in the promo vids?)

Also the wsj vid title. ‘the first’ are we really going to do this again? Call every new robot the first?

two overlapping cookie opt-out popups:

Love when this happens and on your phone you cant even reach the buttons. The lost art of testing your websites.

Yeah silence is being complicit in this case.

Trump also posted an image of him in the masterchief suit. Without a helmet. Halo is not my thing but I think that is a thing which is not done, like with judge dredd, the helmet stays on.

A horny one.
