Spanish speaking people getting offended by the name "cuLitho"? nVidia was like "sin penesar".
Mostly laughing rather than offended :D

I' am Spaniard and you are half right. We aren't in Franco times. And, no, most right or left wing journalists and writers are not "interesting discussions". Maybe themselves think they are interesting, but no, not even close. All of them are really mediocre, no matter which side you choose. On proper people from an academic mindset: - La pizarra de Yuri - Naukas - La Aldea Irreductible These have been since ~y2k or…
Also the fact that the Spanish Empire did not see themselves as an empire of intellectuals set on a mission to expand the frontiers of knowledge. They were about wealth extraction and draining others as fast and unsustainably as possible. The movements of independence had their origin in Masonic lodges. University founders were either part of the Roman Catholic church, jesuits or masons. All of them known to exclude…
Read about the 1st and 2nd Spanish republics, and the Constitution of Cádiz. The closest we would ever been to the French. Even further, with the 2nd republic, revolutionary and avant garde for its day (1931).
The old-Regime lovers screwed up with the Spanish people against the classical liberal constitution with Ferndinand VII, the biggest turd ever before Franco.

I feel ChatGPT "understands" the vast majority of things better than me, which is very worrying. It's only going to get better too.
While it's true that ChatGPT gives amazing explanations in many context, this one is not particularly good. The point is not that CuLitho is similar to "culo" (ass), as the similarity is not that obvious. The point is that it's practically identical to "culito" (little ass, where "little" is typically not literally about size, but more of an endearing term - another translation could be cute ass). The similarity is l…
Thanks for clearing this up. Great example of how drinking from the fountain of machine generated content is a watered down experience.
I'm less interested in an AI trained on the droves of mediocre crap out there on the web, but would be super excited if there were one trained on curated material consisting of carefully crafted and authoritative answers like this. Or at least a way to lend greater weight to such inputs.

culitho may have been the only remaining trademark-able word left in the English language.
Was culitho ever a "word in the English language"? Anyways, if it's just about finding a trademark-able sequence of letters that can be done with the restricted latin alphabet used in the English language and keyboard, then there would still be the option of doing what nVidia did in their company name and add an n in front of another consonant, for example: nCuLitho … I wonder how Spanish-speaking people would like t…
Agreed. culitho wasn't an English word until nVidia marketing extruded it into the world.
In my defense, I was trying to vaguely reference the Problem with Popplers episode of Futurama but failed.

I guess they all agreed it was a great name. Nvidia: my cuLitho brings all the boys to the lab and they're like it operates at the limits of Physics!
My culitho brings all the boys to the lab, And they're like, it's better than a silicon fab, We're laughing our way to the top, With computational power that won't stop! We'll be etching those chips to the groove, Culitho de NVIDIA, making that smooth move!
Set it to a reguetón tune, and you have a hit right here.

Do you realize that now any human willing to expertiment with them is free to do. All it take is Internet access and an email address. Or a GPU-powered computer to ran them locally. My point is that we can not rightfully estimate who is using it or not. Some LLM models are publicly released after many private trials. Some people had access to GPT4 about 6 to 9 months before the official release. Not accounting primar…
hence why i never use capital letters in my comms - an ai will always use capitals.
I do not mean to mock but this an AI superstition that I have not seen yet. Of course they write sentences without capital letters! Where...what...how did you arrive at this conclusion?

I'm a native Spanish speaker and 2 and 3 are completely false. 1 is true, but when pronouncing foreign words with th, the sound is invariably converted to a T. Thanos is "Tanos," Thermos is "termo," Ethernet is "Eternet," and so on.
The pronunciation of a word depends of a variety of factors, such as the path a loan word followed to get into the language. There is no such thing as "when pronouncing foreign words with th, the sound is invariably converted to a T". Which sound are you referring to, the Greek "Θά" ('θa")? Or the English "th" which becomes the voiced dental fricative /ð/ or the voiceless dental fricative /θ/? Does "ethernet" have a…
> And the fact that you are native Spanish speaker makes little difference here. How trustworthy is a native Spanish speaker? You will know it when you navigate the Spanish speaking Internet and find most of it are antivaxxers, flat earthers and people that believe "US Navy" is a given name ("Usnavy"). I know this because I have native Spanish proficiency as well.
That's the Latino internet. European Spanish internet is more about the Black Legend, posts about Spanish Empire by a user who inevitably has a Burgundy cross avatar, Franco nostalgia and how England and Holland cheated them of glory.

The problem is that, historically, intellectuals in the Spanish-speaking world love excluding average people from participation. So the most interesting discussions happen in closed circles not in the open. It is a shitty way of building a society that has its roots in colonial times.

> Avoid political/philosophical discussions with people from Liberal Arts. They are full of ego's.
This isn't exclusively true of the Spanish speaking world though. The more I see the people of my generation who have achieved prominence in the academic humanities, the more I've concluded the main qualification is ego, tribalism, being a controversialist and titanium self-confidence in your genius. Actual intellegence or intellectual rigour is a handicap.

if youre not an ai, say that again without proper punctuation
