i prefer P=N!S, actually
Instead of calling you a misogynist pig
no one said this
this isn't TiA, you don't have to make up angry feminists to be mad at anymore. you're free now
i can't tell if this is a joke suggestion, so i will very briefly treat it as a serious one:
getting the machine to do critical thinking will require it to be able to think first. you can't squeeze orange juice from a rock. putting word prediction engines side by side, on top of each other, or ass-to-mouth in some sort of token centipede, isn't going to magically emerge the ability to determine which statements are reasonable and/or true
and if i get five contradictory answers from five LLMs on how to cure my COVID, and i decide to ignore the one telling me to inject bleach into my lungs, that's me using my regular old intelligence to filter bad information, the same way i do when i research questions on the internet the old-fashioned way. the machine didn't get smarter, i just have more bullshit to mentally toss out
"Of course, this flexibility that allows for anything good and popular to be part of a natural, inevitable precursor to the true metaverse, simultaneously provides the flexibility to dismiss any failing as a failure of that pure vision, rather than a failure of the underlying ideas themselves. The metaverse cannot fail, you can only fail to make the metaverse."

syncthing is an extremely valuable piece of software in my eyes, yeah. i've been using a single synced folder as my google drive replacement and it works nearly flawlessly. i have a separate system for off-site backups, but as a first line of defense it's quite good.
bash.org died!? damn...
If the house doesn’t have a roof, don’t paint the walls.
i adore this line. because yeah, what i see the rest of the tech industry doing is either:
- scrambling to erect their own, faster, better, cheaper roofless house
- scrambling to sell furniture and utilities for the people who are definitely, inevitably going to move in
- or making a ton of bank by selling resources to the first two groups
without even stopping to ask: why would anyone want to live here?
need to be able to think LLM's are impressive, probably
surely tech will save us all, right?
but then who will we have to laugh at? you're depriving helpless children of an endless supply of twats to sneer -- think of the kids!!
it's funny how your first choice of insult is accusing me of not being deep enough into llm garbage. like, uh, yeah, why would i be
but also how dare you -- i'll have you know i only choose the most finely-tuned, artisinally-crafted models for my lawyering and/or furry erotic roleplaying needs
excuse you, i render my fursona with my own GPU
