I live in an affluent part of South Carolina. It’s become completely overrun with Trump assholes and degenerates. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. Where can we go?...
Best I can do is “[voice assistant] remind me about that post in two months”
Drat, gotta open the reminder and paste in the comment URL too. Do wonder if that bot mentioned is whitelisted or not. More social, beyond just being native. And hopefully it has “send me a PM to reduce spam”
Spill. You bring those R5s across the ocean? Send audio from the handicap audio jack at the multiplex? Hustle up some telecines? Sneak Battletoads outta the backroom at GameStop before it hit shelves?
Ohhh didn’t know about that sense of the word in that context. Interesting!
Do you have any idea what the warez scene is like today?
Also there was a bot on the former Warez-BB dot org that would post scene releases seemingly moments after they pre’d. Imagine those kinds of people are on Telegram or something today…

Can they prevent review fraud without requiring SSNs and background checks and more? (High-dollar item manufacturers could always pay randos to buy their items and leave 4-5 star reviews, right?)
Amazon could kill MRJHABCU and ANWKCB and PPQHZQS brands that give themselves 5000 positive reviews overnight… overnight.
But then the remaining products, wouldn’t they get review frauded real good?
When LLMs feel sentient or intelligent, that's your brain playing a trick on you.
Sentient = prob a trick
Intelligent? Maybe a broken clock is right twice a day?
You write a sentence that don’t sound too good. You pretty much know how an author you respect would write it, but can’t remember the syntax & word choice exactly. You ask a model for a dozen revisions of the sentence in disparate styles. One of them clicks: “ooh! That’s what I mean!”
Am I being pedantic to say the LLM can feel intelligent when it nails the exact word choice you were looking for, better than half your social circle could’ve written it? Half your friends aren’t dumb, but the LLM can sometimes sound better than them, so you think: “yeah sounds intelligent!”
Of course…
Later it totally misunderstands some context, needs unbelievable hand-holding and still doesn’t get it, confabulates moronically… and it’s back to stupid! Mmmm glue pizza
The BP bribe theory is terribly cunning and nobody else talking about it came up in the first few DuckDuckGo/Google results. Never heard anybody mention it in 2010 either.
Edit: I guess the point would be discussions on the topic may not mention each individual case of bribery because the practice is pervasive.

Until the systems develop a sense of ‘truth’ beyond numerical statistics, generative ai is pretty much a toy.
I'll start by saying I am pro-worker, pro-99%, pro-human.
Now, I must refute your assertion for specific domains (and specific working styles), e.g. translation (or a preference for editing over drafting/coding from a blank page). If money used to hit your bank account every two weeks because you translated or provided customer service for a company, and now that money doesn't come in anymore, it wouldn't feel too playful or like a toy is involved.
This is today, not "until" any future milestone.
