This reminds me. Some years ago I was driving down the highway and I found myself behind the most garishly styled car I've seen in my life. I don't recall the exact details now, just that I found it so brightly over decorated that it hurt to look at. "Who would put all that effort into making their vehicle so hideous?" I thought. Then there was a slowdown and everyone had to hit their brakes. Their brake lights, I now saw, were partially masked to say "YOLO!" every time they hit the brakes. "Well, fair enough," I realized. I still hated it, but I had to respect that the car made them happy. You only have one life to live, and if you want to spend part it driving the most ugly car ever bedazzled, well, you do you. I'm happy for you. They'll never know it, but that moment really stuck with me ever since. Don't let others' judgment stop you from doing to your car, or your body, what brings you the most joy.

Well, unless it's a safety hazard to others. Please don't do car mods that risk harm to others.

They were asking Deepseek, an LLM model developed in China, because they were curious what limits might be baked into it by its makers. I imagine that if they were testing an American made AI, they would instead ask it about things an American company would be likely to censor.

I particularly enjoyed Adobe® Creative Commons™ software and Microsoft Minecraft® Bedrock™ for Workgroups™.

Pointless nitpick: I don't think he's wearing a bald cap, it really looks like the guy partially shaved his head for the bit. That takes some real commitment to do that just to call out the hypocrisy of someone being also shitty.

Wow, this takes me back. This was one of my favorite sets to play with, and I had forgotten it. I was always a little disappointed that the magnet arm couldn't actually reach the little magnet cargo box in the base. I usually put the robot on the torso-docking hover-platform, and the human in the head/spaceship, on account of the human being safer in an enclosed cockpit, while the robot was less at risk riding exposed to the vacuum of space. I also added some upgraded thrusters to the head from some other set so it could fly faster when detached.

It wasn't the user's infrastructure, it was the LLM company's. The selling point is that it's all integrated together for you. You explain what you want, the LLM not only codes it, but launches it too. Yes, his screen shots of the LLM "taking responsibility" are idiotic, but so many people don't understand that LLMs don't actually understand anything.

"Basically their methodology was that they asked ChatGPT whether the job could be automated," he explained. "They also asked people whether the job could be automated and then they said ChatGPT and people agreed some portion of the time."

lol. This is such an idiotic thing to do. "Hey, you know that linguistic pattern matcher that doesn't actually reason or introspect? Since it can talk, why don't we just ask it what it can and can't do?" Seeing this, published by an AI research institute no less, is what inspired the creators of the actually riggourus test the article is about. It inspired me with a desire to smack those idiots upside their empty heads.

Dude went dumpster diving for a name. It's not theft if they're throwing it away. One woman's trash is another man's treasure.

Took me way too long to get that.

People think the stem is too tough, but it just needs to be cooked right. The trick is to start cooking the stem pieces first, then when they just start to be cooked, add the florets. Exact timing depends on the cooking method, but if done right all of it will be tender and tasty.

If I recall correctly, the follow up was the same person complaining about being painfully constipated for several days.

Yeah, I have to agree; if your plastic cup isn't labeled "coffee", then why are you even bothering to drink a coke?

 

I think what really grabbed people's attention is that he kept refusing to explain why he wanted to do that.

Whatever his reason was, it was such a stupid thing to be memeing about that I felt at home here right away. Edit: this was a while back now, during the first big migration from reddit after the API change protests.
