Do you really not get how actively playing a video game requires more executive functioning than hitting a video play button?

Normal human feelings are related to ADHD and autism, because many symptoms of both are just normal experiences happening more often. Everyone knows what being overwhelmed or impulsive is like, that doesn’t mean neurodivergent people don’t experience it to greater extents and with a greater frequency.

Trump still would have won in 2024 even if everyone had turned out to vote, Pew finds

It was just laying around his uncle’s place after he died and nobody else wanted it for some reason.

Yeah, I don’t really disagree with the sentiment of the sign but you couldn’t pay me to put what is functionally a Facebook/Twitter post on my hypothetical lawn.

A coalition of 16 states

Names none of them, forcing me to open the pdf myself. Sigh.

The states are:

Massachusetts; California; New York; Connecticut; Illinois; Delaware; Hawai‘i; Maine; Maryland; Michigan; Nevada; New Jersey; New Mexico; Pennsylvania; Rhode Island; Wisconsin

All kinds of weird shit you’d think would be vegan aren’t… like some brands of white sugar (bone char) and some beers (isinglass [fish swim bladders]). And there’s always our good friend with a million names, cochineal/carmine/crimson lake/natural red 4/E120, aka bugs that make your food red.

It’s totally avoidable if you don’t use it, but I think the onus is mostly on the companies for advertising these chat bots as like, a friendly personal assistant when that’s absolutely not what they are. Like all “AI” shit, it runs mostly on consumer deception.

Had to look up what a fairy chimney was because I’d never heard the term, that sounds so cool!

Fucking lol at complaining about Republicans taking money from Democrats while suggesting the solution is to remove constitutional rights from everyone, no matter how they voted if they live in the wrong place.

LLMs generate theses kind of graph by writing a python program that plot a real dataset.

Assuming it even correctly does that. And why is that even necessary? People were able to make graphs before AI. It isn’t hard to do, and the piddling amount of data on display hardly needs a custom python program to plot it.

that's also the nature of humans.

Thoughts are more than statistical associations, and anyone telling you that you can make a humanlike consciousness through a glorified autocorrect is a scam artist.

Probably knowing that the nature of LLMs is to generate output based on statistical associations, and that they don’t have the ability to look at data and understand it.

It’s also so fucking lazy to do that and then turn around and beg for people to pay you for it.
