With the inherent biases present in any LLM training model, the issue of hallucinations that you’ve brought up, alongside the cost of running an LLM at scale being prohibitive to anyone besides private-state partnerships, do you think that will allay conspiracists’ valid concerns about the centralization of information access, a la the reduction in quality google search results over the past decade and a half?
Yup, I got dogpiled with smarmy comments downplaying my pointing out that the Open Technology Fund (that’s affiliated with Radio Free Asia) audited the Signal Protocol. I still try to get people to switch to it from SMS or Whatsapp (with limited success, an ex was one of the few who already had it installed prior… cuz of their dealer), but it’s not like I have any illusions of organizing the revolution on the app
People are free to draw their own conclusions from it. Do you have anything material to contribute, or will you just be putting more smarmy words in my mouth from here on out?
Back when the Signal org used to be called Open Whisper Systems it received grants and auditing from the Open Technology Fund which, at the time, was still a part of Radio Free Asia.

Alas, Dr. Mullen’s impact factor has waned ever since that Sus halkias obesity germline escaped his research facility, necessitating the pivot to entomology. My electrons are in their Highest Occupied Molecular Orbitals.
Building on this, does anyone use tablets to keep a digital laboratory notebook? I’m picturing keeping one in a capacitive, clear envelope that you could sterilize by spraying with 70% ethanol if necessary, yet still permit you to write with a stylus while wearing dirty gloves
I’m more than set on that front: your dad took me on a romantic picnic this evening but forgot a blanket and now my whole back has a rash ;)
I don’t want those ghouls here. Oughta walk their talk, volunteer, and soak up some thermobarics if they really want to help
I also had to look it up, but according to urban dictionary it’s “when 2 well known celebrities have sex”. It sounds like my ex posted some aquatic themed erotica back in the early days of twitter and the guys were using the term very loosely (she has 580 followers…) to flatter her
She messaged me first on Hinge, the mask was off pretty quick but I overlooked/excused the red flags. Astrology and Instagram wellness type that went to college in Los Angeles, by date 5 she had told me “lying comes naturally to us pisces” twice, and that she didn’t have a positive relationship with psychology growing up until starting her psych PhD due to her having dissociative identity disorder & dad also being a therapist. However the motivation for the PhD was to charge therapy clients more money.
She ended things after a few months saying “I’m not feeling the way I want to feel”, “our energies are too similar”, and that she’d “fondly remember me” during the breakup phone call. Turns out she was insulting me on twitter the whole time about my perceived income, said her therapist called me a beta male, and that “these dudes never buy me flowers and act sooooo surprised when I break up with them”.
Also used to have blowjobs in her twitter handle & dudes were tweeting at her saying thank you for the starbang, but that was more weird/trashy than shitty or abusive.
Similar issue with contacts who don’t have a picture associated with their info card/page/profile. Stock Android (GOS in my case) sometimes displays the contact’s first & last name initials in a circle (i.e. on the favorites page the phone app) in a color that is nearly identical to the circle’s background color.
