This. Who cares about TV?

It has been for years. The actual audience for a great deal of text you see is Google’s ranking system. Look up any recipe and ask yourself who reads the ten paragraph story time a…

It’s natural to the fact it’s the same model. Everyone has tics, and when a given model is asked to write millions of texts, they become visible. But! Some portion of the audience …

I'm a lifetime computer guy with broad, cross-domain experience. Now going hard into deep learning and language modelling since late 2021. I'm looking to make myself useful in this…

If you decided at the outset they're of equal value to a $20/mo AI, lay them off.

I’m having a great time with an NVIDIA 3090. 24 GB RAM will run a lot of neat models. But at zero you can for sure just do CPU until you build a project ambitious enough.

Thanks for sharing the real one!

Thanks!

Correct. Ideal. The story deserves zero time. In this way, I am in agreement with its publisher.

It’s not. It’s very simple, but you like to say “circular reasoning”. Maybe you heard it in debate class. There is unlimited slop. I decide what to read _without reading it_. So do…

It doesn’t matter which model it was sampled from. In any case, time isn’t fungible. I consider censuring it substantially more valuable use of time than reading it. And it’s defin…

Oh, you think it’s just this story? The cost of reading slop is infinity. No thanks.

Not all arguments can be evaluated rigorously. Life is too short. They will be filtered on heuristics. No choice. This text was obviously randomly sampled from a popular, off the s…

Sufficiently advanced AI use is probably fine. The slop everyone complains about has certain tells specifically due to some combination of the following: - The author is conducting…

So are all the other shady websites.

Seems absurd to run a COTS agent at token rates to "play" a game. Like watching the computer beat its meat. Building your own models for it would be an eye-opener though. Learn a l…

This more-or-less ended with 3D. The N64, mid-90s, had a novel 3D accelerator (heavily programmable, a kind of a proto-GPU). Its successor went with ATI. The Dreamcast had a PowerV…

The PS3 is one of a handful of systems that actually had a special processor. The NES and Genesis had common desktop CPUs. The PS1, 2 and N64 had MIPS processors which were in heav…

Thanks. The other guy asked if the IQ deniers are “in the room with us right now”.

Cue the IQ denier deniers

Recently I have the SEO guy governing the mostly static, public site with Claude Code. He loves it but you would never imagine the level of mental illness Claude comes up with. If …

This strand of philosowank is just there to promote the idea you need to kill for the greater good. The only trolly problem that matters is brake maintenance.

Unwise design. “It talks, CSRs talk, it’s the same thing”. The fact CSRs talk is incidental. Nobody contacts support to talk. Customer service is a kind of “exception handler” for …

Last time I was in Germany I saw what appeared to be homeless children
