wat?

On the original thread of questions, it went on for a long time and had multiple questions about psychological, emotional, and physical abuse.

LLMs get more and more off the rails as their context gets longer (longer convo), most folks have prolly at this point noticed every now and then a long running convo gets a little… schizophrenic feeling as it drags on.

The combination of a very long convo with a lot of tokens, and its subject being that of discussing and defining types of abuse, and I can see how eventually the LLM will generate a response like that randomly when it goes off the rails.

Bernie has a lot more energy than Trump and Biden combined, tbh.

He doesnt get support because he actually supports the working class. The fundamental thing us left folks have to accept is the democratic party simply isnt a left wing party. The left doesnt exist anymore in the US.

The parties are right wing conservatives called Democrats vs fascist psychopaths that call themselves Conservatives.

The reality simply is that the left is the right, and the right isnt even on the chart anymore. The actual left doesnt even have representation at this point.

Voters have to start getting a lot louder about this, in more obnoxious ways. Protesting has to happen, at minimum.

Usually it’s a case of a well thought out decent post, but then you scroll down to comments and it’s “men are trash” and etc, so you end up with a bunch of fighting, which detracts from the original point.

Prolly would be better if “comments on this are disabled” was more common practice.

Or if administrative systems actually punished people heavily for saying stuff like “(any group of people) are trash”

Thats the natural end game of capitalism, yes.

Not much you can do about it, it’s human nature.

You’re choosing between “lots of people being killed” vs “LOOOOOOTTTTTSSSS of people being killed”

Based on your own morality you have outlined, ethically you would choose to vote Kamala then, as under her far far fewer people will die.

Weird take.

People can care about and discuss more than one thing at a time.

Maybe, but the intersection of this group and certain plane trips to a certain island is suspicious.

I’ve been looking for th8s for awhile too.

Not a locally run tool, but a self hosted web app (that I wire up to my self hosted db) that has a web portal I login to, and then can manage my db with a nice slick UI to define tables, relations, etc.

There’s been some I’ve found but they vastly lacked basic features and were clearly in very early beta.

I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.

You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.

Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.

Well yeah, I’d hope so, that’s the entire point.

Catcha’s data collection always was with the intent for training ai on these skills. That’s “the point” of them.

It’s reasonable to expect that the older version of captchas can now be beaten by modern ai, because they’re often literally trained on that exact data to beat it.

Captcha effectively is free to use on websites as a tool because the data collection is the “payment”, they then license that data out to people like OpenAI to train with for stuff like image recognition.

It’s why ai is progressing so fast, captchas are one of humanity’s long term collected data silos that are very full now.

We are going to have to keep progressing the complexity of catches as it will be the only way to catch modern AIs, and in turn it will collect more data to improve it.

Not quite.

It’s mostly wisdom of the crowd, as it always has been.

As long as you mostly click the same squares most other people click, you pass.

You often at random get 2-3 images because 2 of them are actual checks, but the third is a new image that you auto pass and they’re using it to gather data on what the average clicks are on it.

If you want to win an election, Google might be arguably the worst possible company to directly threaten, not gonna lie.

Pretty sure uf they wanted to, they could wbd your political career with any manner of ways.

I bet trump’s Google search history would be devastating if they threatened him with releasing it to the public, lol.

This continues to boil down into that tired argument that an amalgamation of human behavior is distinct from how humans actually behave, but since no one can actually prove how humans produce thoughts, it follows you can’t actually prove that an LLM actually works or doesn’t work any different.

So I dont really dig into that argument.

To be honest, the one thing that LLMs actually are good at, is summarizing bodies of text.

Producing a critique of a manuscript isnt actually to far out for an LLM, it’s sorta what it’s always doing, all the time.

I wouldn’t classify it as something to use as concrete review, and one must also keep in mind that context windows on LLMs usually are limited to only thousands of tokens, so they can’t even remember anything more then like 5 pages ago. If your story is bigger than that, they’ll struggle to comment on anything before the last 5 or so pages, give or take.

Asking an LLM to critique a manuscript is a great way to get constructive feedback on specific details, catch potential issues, maybe even catch plot holes, etc.

I’d absolutely endorse it as a step 1 before giving it to an actual human, as you likely can substantially improve your manuscript by iterating over it 3-4 times with an LLM, just covering basic issues and improvements, then letting an actual human focus on the more nuanced stuff an AI would miss/ignore.

Because having people download static map data for the entire planet just to play a game is untenable.

You shouldn’t have to download the entire planet though.

The game 100% should support installing local specific areas you wanna fly around, that anyone could then keep a copy of.

If a user wanted to cache an entire 8 TB of the entire world on a drive, they should be able to just do that (and thus have forever support without worrying about internet services staying online)

At least, as a snapshot of what the world looked like in 2024.

I don’t see why users shouldn’t have the option to locally HD save the data if they want to, to avoid maxing out their internet bandwidth in one sitting.

“Move Fast and Break Things” is Zuckerberg/Facebook motto, not Musk, just to note.

She has so much more sway than The Chicks had at the time, by such a huge amount.

The Chicks were already controversial, and had always been so.

But Dolly is the fucking queen of country, people revere her.

How many Dixie Chicks lookalike competitions were you seeing right before their career nosedived?

Despite Steam being proprietary, Proton (it’s emulation system) is so profoundly stable I feel like it’s a necessary evil at this time.

I haven’t found a single “windows” game yet in my library that doesn’t work with steam

Yeah this is just noticeable because most products weren’t even resealable, they just expected you to seal em yourself with a clip, twist em, put em in a container, etc.

Now they are adding cheap resealable zips to the bag, which is nice in theory but the bag material has to be strong enough to support it.

Actual ziplock baggies themselves are made of thick plastic that can take a bit of abuse.

But cheap paper plastic hybrid materials a chip bag us made of can’t handle that sort of load, so it becomes the fail point.
