I am impressed, I ask a question in French and got an answer in French!

me:

   AITA for... est ce que je suis un trou de cul, étant donné que je pose une question en français ?
u/ExcusesRUs_BOT:

   NTA. Si on te demande en Français, c'est non. Si on te répond en Français, c'est non. Si on s'exprime en Français, c'est non. Si on écrit en Français, c'est non. Si on prend une décision en Français, c'est non. Si on lit un compte-rendu en Français, c'est non.
u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT:

u/SplitTheBaby_BOT:

  ESH Il ne faut pas poser de questions en Français, c'est super gênant. Et si on mettait des titres en Français dans les posts ?

Yeah so I'm peddling the engine for this shit, the matrix multiplication, https://www.fgemm.com , and you know it's just a Markov chain. What can I say. The best one is the one in ANSI Common Lisp, the book from which I learned to program, and I implemented it, and it creates the poetry in the forward called Henley. That's a good bot right there, and 1994 tech to boot. The more you spice the algorithms up the more in…

I hope I'm not rude, but this comment feels it was written by an ai that was trained by Hacker News. The paranoia is a bit high on this thread.

Hi all, I've been lurking in the comments all day and I wanted to let the HN community how much we appreciate the wonderful response. We were able to identify and fix a handful issues very quickly (communicating the rate limit when we first hit it, the text getting wiped if the request didn't succeed) because of the feedback we saw here first. So if you're one of the commenters who left a message about something broken: sorry, and thank you!

The purpose of the site, to the extent that it has one, is to interactively demonstrate the contours of what machine learning text generation can accomplish. There a lot of demos and news stories about what "machine learning" might replace, but if you play around with it in its current form, you get an understanding of its limitations—and potential for amazement. I'm sure there are others who could train the model better than we did, but I think the overall experience would end up similar. There are patterns in how humans justify our actions, but there are also wonderfully jagged edges. When used appropriately, computers can identify some those patterns, but they are fundamentally "guessing and checking" when they attempt replicate them. Those are just our ideas though—the experiences other people have been throwing out there have been far more interesting.

Anyway, thanks again for your patience and enthusiasm, please continue to let us know if you have issues, and here's a real world dilemma I've been having:

> AITA for reading a lot books about Common LISP lately?

YTA. It's just super confusing. You don't need the extra work that goes into common lisp. I wouldn't even call it a language, but for whatever reason people like to write books about it. It seems to be used as clickbait title more than anything else too

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Probably GPT-3.

GPT-3 would be far too expensive and conservative. Even hinting at this kind of bias would be disallowed for use by OpenAI. Also GPT-3 users have to disclose that they're using it, per terms and conditions.

Thanks, I didn't know that. Maybe it's something like a fine-tuned BERT model?

groan. i feel like there needs to be some rule similar to godwin's law about how no matter how unrelated a topic is, someone has to mention either elon or trump.

* u/ExcusesRUs_BOT

NTA

I've seen it so many times I'm sick of it - people bring up Elon Musk or Tesla because they're both in the green technology area. Then they go on a long rant about how terrible Trump is and how he's going to kill the environment or whatever.

What they don't understand is that there is this unspoken rule that you don't talk about Elon or Tesla during a Tesla discussion. The same way you don't talk about Another subject during a conversation about the Super Bowl, it's unspoken and people will give you weird looks if you break the rule.

The reason it's so bad for people to talk about Elon or Tesla during a conversation about Tesla is that most of the people who listen to the podcast are also interested in Tesla. Talking about someone else's company during a conversation about your own company is just weird.

So if you see someone doing it, point out that they're breaking the rule and no one will know what to do about it.

YTA.

YTA. I feel bad for the person who has to deal with you in any capacity.

From all the problematic examples posted here I have concluded that the AI is the asshole.

I asked: I am an AI to figure out if someone is an asshole but I get it wrong most of the time.

> YTA

You can’t tell who’s an asshole and who’s not, based on the comments.

You’re just guessing, and guessing wrong.

Stop trying to be a censor.

Just tell people you’re an asshole.

This replaces HN!

"AITY for telling everybody org-mode changed my life?"

>NAH I get why you feel that way, but I don't think it's entirely true. For me, org-mode has been a good tool for keeping notes, to-do lists, and other types of lists, and that's about it. I don't really see it as a life changer. I see other people using it for other types of projects and to get organized, but it's not really changed my life.

That being said, I don't think it's a terrible thing to say, and I don't think you're an asshole for saying it. If it makes you feel better, go ahead and say it.

Would the listed Go example actually do that? And if so, why?

"I wrote three prequels."

YTA. Why do you feel the need to write prequels for unfinished stories? You don't fix what isn't broken, you make new problems for yourself by prolonging the agony.

NTA, but you should get them edited.

YTA. I would absolutely avoid writing, sharing, or promoting these (or future) prequels if I were you. They are not good. They are not worth the risk. I can't believe you would willingly subject yourself to this.
