    A fallacy being common makes it no less fallacious
  2. That's what she said

    Fascinating. This will be interesting news to all those lovers of steak tartare While others are amplified when experiencing nutritional deficiencies like need for certain vitamins and minerals. The challenge I see in your posts is in how you seem to be treating subjective preferences as objective facts.

    The suggestion of good faith feels misplaced.
  5. Beyond just the purges, it also serves to muzzle people who will be afraid to speak up or in ways contrary to the administration. It will cause those good people who are there for reasons of service and duty to country to resign voluntarily and migrate to the private sector where they can earn more money without all the headaches and gestapo shit. And it’ll make young talent that much less likely to join and help. Why put themselves and their families through it? It’s not just firings. It’s erasure of the system across every angle. Some will argue that good might come of it, and yeah. Maybe some will, but it’s akin to saying you’re successful losing 10lbs bc you cut your arm off. Sure, you hit your weight goal, but created lots of new unwanted problems in the process. His belief is backed by decades of experience and evidence that he can do exactly that.
  6. And you think somehow that would alter their behavior? Fairly sure that’s precisely the outcome they’re seeking.
  7. Of course new connections have been discovered. There are answers in medicine, genetics, liberal arts and art itself, dental needs, new constructions of data from cosmology, biology, chemistry, materials science, engineering and others. AI is not new. What’s new is the public discourse about it, but even there folks seem to limit their entire understanding and conclusions set to a single old outdated GPT model released a few years ago bc it was the one that made headlines.
  8. most have actually rejected Fox for being too liberal and have replaced it with sources much farther right (8chan type stuff)
  9. Not that any of us needs another body blow here, even once the courts make a decision it falls to the justice department to enforce those decisions. The justice department is under the executive branch and guess who controls that? Decades of gerrymandering largely renders this “protection” moot. Those congress reps are pushed by their electorate to show 100% fealty to their dear leader else face not just primary challenges but active threats to their lives and the lives of their loved ones
  10. One fewer Thank you for confirming the obvious
  11. It pains me to see someone so intelligent making such an easy to avoid mistake. You have access and you’re just unfamiliar with them.
  12. AI can already write and self-repair its own code. The most important thing teachers can do is open doors and windows into new worlds and ideas. Machines absolutely can do this.
  13. I do love the sort of mental tickle it brings when arrogant condescending (that means talking down to people, btw) asshats so brazenly and proudly reveal their ignorance for all to see. It’s not short for anything. It’s the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet used in numerous ways across mathematics and science. I’m sorry about your cancer fight. It’s a damned shame it’s not made you any more tolerable nor any less insufferable.
  14. Perfect LLM sounds strawmanish They’re not part of the free use tier, some even still restricted to developers I’m certain that’s true. Only highlighting that your exposure thus far has clearly been limited.✌️
  15. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Wasn’t directed to you specifically and was a comment to the larger tenor of comments My intuition is you’re likely not keeping up with current capabilities and thus are in no position to make such a declaration. You’re well informed on vast majority of topics, only encouraging you here to avoid hasty generalizations given limited exposure.
  16. Put eggs in saucepan. Cover barely with water. Bring to boil over high heat. Shutoff heat and cover with lid. Set timer for 10 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water and place immediately into ice bath once timer alerts. Perfect.
  17. I advise caution against lumping all AIs and LLMs into the same one “it’s crap!” bucket. For several months now I’ve watched many members here proclaiming how poor the performance of these models is when they have quite likely only tried the badly outdated low performing free models from several years ago, and rather likely have done so using poorly formed prompts. Such things happen, and it wouldn’t merit comment if it didn’t so often lead to the hasty generalization that all AIs suck. The best model you use today will already be the worst model you ever use by next week.
  18. Sounds like a grizzly situation, Yogi. No difference between brown bears or black? They seem to be polar opposites. Maybe we can hibernate on it.
  19. Will you please point me to where I can find the agreed upon definition of consciousness?
  20. Get an agentic AI to do it for you at a rate of thousands per minute
  21. Already happening with groups like the proud boys and militias and January 6 prisoners whose sentences he commuted It’s called the Jonestown effect
  22. It’s already happened several times since
  23. His earlier threads suggest instead he thinks everything across nature and the cosmos itself is alive, including rocks and air and solar winds. He uses the language of biological life and reproduction to bootstrap his everything in the universe is oneness narrative. While separate, his thoughts in this thread are very clearly overlapping.
