fuck yes. try it with alcoholic whipped cream if you can source some!
this is a gentle reminder to posters in this thread that the fediverse in general is nowhere near secure from an opsec perspective; don’t post anything that compromises yourself or us.
with that said, happy December 4th to those who celebrate. post commemorative cocktail recipes here.
e: remember, they call it the fediverse cause it’s full of feds
Since 2010 we have been working with what I call augmented intelligence. So I am now working with the team behind the scenes to create truly the AI version. Not AI in the sense of making up stories — but imagine if you now take, whether it be news or opinion, and you have a bias meter so that whether the news or the opinion, more likely the opinion or the voices, you have a bias meter, so somebody could understand as a reader that the source of the article has some level of bias.
they let this fucking guy near transplant patients?
also, tech billionaires terrified of a peasant uprising can turn their homes into fucking military bases with a home security system named (of course) Sauron
In the aftermath of an LGBT hate incident, the then-CEO of cloud computing giant Digital Ocean told upset staff his mentor was a member of the KKK as an attempt to explain why they must bend their values because "we love the company"
presented without comment
(Obligatory, “oh thank God it’s not the game engine”)
that was my exact reaction when the thread popped up — it took me a couple seconds to realize the article was authored by Ed and not some asshole in the gaming-to-fascism pipeline still upset because the Godot engine rightfully bans assholes from their collaborative spaces
The government worries Ireland may lose its position as Europe’s top data center location. Frankfurt in Germany is currently second but has similar power problems, exacerbated by recent AI demand.
it’s so weird how this keeps happening, but the corporations behind it claim to be sustainable and people keep believing it
This is obviously insane, the correct conclusion is that learning models cannot in fact be trained so hard that they will always get the next token correct. This is provable, and it’s not even hard to prove. It’s intuitively obvious, and a burly argument that backs the intuition is easy to build.
You do, however, have to approach it through analogies, through toy models. When you insist on thinking about the whole thing at once, you wind up essentially just saying things that feel right, things that are appealing. You can’t actually reason about the damned thing at all.
this goes a long way towards explaining why computer pseudoscience — like a fundamental ignorance of algorithmic efficiency and the implications of the halting problem — is so common and even celebrated among lesswrongers and other TESCREALs who should theoretically know better
my colleagues are kind, caring people & they were attacked (idc if I get attacked so long as it doesn't touch my company/colleagues) we've always seen love for our work, this incident shocked me
we'll keep shipping 📦💗 can't satisfy all
Don't take out your frustration from election results on them, LOSERS
it’s really jarring seeing one of the biggest hosts for generative AI projects simultaneously do “we’re just an uwu smol bean open source passion project why are you attacking us” while boosting and officially supporting chan-coded fash shit from an e/acc account
just the worst fucking Chrome fork
