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”

Optimally you want the response to be empty words, grunting, or being told to fuck off.

US/DE/both, did you mean?

when someone asks me an impossible question.

I think that response actually works for the loaded question:

“Have you stopped beating your wife?“

How do I know so little about programming yet this is still so funny?

Maybe the neuroscientists have some insight:

The joys of having $xx/mo to reward creators. (Maybe only $.xx goes to the actual creators but still, it feels better!)

Sorry for my difficult to discern tone. Oops! Receipt talk-

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.

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…

I think you’ve just reconciled two things:

  1. Internet always says chiropractors are quacks

  2. Multiple reasonable people IRL have praised their own chiropractors

Incredible theory. Did you come up with it on your own? Search engines are blank on this. Want to read more!

Thanks

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

So frustrating.

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?

I’m glad there’s an effort to avoid weirdos who have our worst interests at heart. Hope some heroes apply and go through the process!

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?
