  Bold of you to assume the guys crewing that spaceship aren’t just doing some job they hate to pay the bills

  ah, right, forgot about hornbills

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨excuse me????⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do any birds have horns? (Rather than just horn shaped tufts of feathers)

  Falafel gyroius just sounds silly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨booming⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just realized: if the classic boomer meme is “wife bad” stuff, does that mean only the boomer men are making memes? Or is there a whole genre of “husband bad” memes made by the boomer women that are flying under the radar?

  It also includes idiots who survive but permanently render themselves unable to reproduce, but I don’t see that counting here either as I think you get disqualified for harming others, so stupidly getting your kid killed wouldn’t count.

  To my understanding, she wasn’t determined to have actually committed it, just was accused

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ay, chihuahua!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not really a dog person, more a fan of cats and reptiles, but I remember being very attached to an old Chihuahua my family had for awhile. Never did get the hate for them, my experience with them has been that they can be very cuddly and a good size to come sit in your lap while watching tv or something. Never noticed the one I had to be particularly mean, though she was pretty old when we got her so maybe she just didn’t have the energy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Based and Red Pilled Gigachad, many such cases 😔⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, everyone’s views are shaped by propaganda of some kind, it’s quite literally unavoidable if you exist within any society. Lots of people like to think that their ideas are just the product of their own independent thinking, but that isn’t really how people work.

  Kinda looks like a kiwi tbh

  It’s just not good at room temperature, it’s decent enough if it’s a fair bit warmer than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨choice⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically any human was already capable of doing that, the pill doesn’t say that it’s necessarily something you can just instantly do at a distance with your mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The time has come! ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s the point, I think it’s the kind of surrealist meme where you present some random thing in a way that it looks like it could be a reference to something but really isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, any technology can be stupid if it is utilized stupidly, which I would think taking over someone’s keyboard while they’re tping would qualify as. But why would a company deploying a technology in a stupid manner mean that someone else’s research into a different but related technology is guaranteed to produce equally poor results?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the “allow non verbal people to speak” thing has some merit though. Not LLMs per se, but the types of machine learning used by people trying to develop ways to decode the brainwaves of people to allow them to talk while physically unable are usually lumped in the general category of “AI” from what I’ve seen.

  It is a prefix that isn’t specific to gender (I don’t know of a particular use in sexuality though that doesn’t mean there isn’t one), but in other uses that I know of, it isn’t used by itself as a descriptor of an aspect of a person’s identity, but as part of some other word. It basically means the opposite of trans (as a prefix, so not just “cisgender means someone that isn’t transgender”, but anywhere that the prefix trans- could be used, for example, when talking about spacecraft visiting the moon, the space farther away from earth than the moon is is sometimes referred to as translunar space, and conversely, the space between the earth and the moon can be called cislunar space). In general, if one is talking about people, especially if it’s just used by itself with nothing else attached, it just refers to everyone other than transgender people.

  There’s a common trope that worms like to live in apples, between that and blocking doctors, maybe rfk is secretly a giant weird looking apple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please bro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We technically wouldnt have to in the sense that its not physically impossible for us to “stumble into it” while trying to mimic the basic brain architecture that we do know, but yes, this is one of the reasons I tend to be a bit skeptical of AI claims, we’re trying to mimic something without even knowing how the thing we’re trying to mimic works very well. Clearly we havent had zero success just given that we can make something that can talk well enough to sometimes fool people into thinking its a human, but we also clearly havent gotten all the way there. If the tech we’ve built will work with enough scaling or tweaking, or if we need something fundamentally different, I dont know.

  My guess, though it is just a guess, is that we’ve probably got something that could serve as a component of some future agi system but that there’s probably more to it we havent figured out that we need to add to get there beyond just making the thing bigger and feeding it more data. Humans do learn from experience after all, and I would imagine the total data input of all one’s senses constantly working adds up to a lot, but we also clearly dont need to be fed all the information to be found on the internet just to learn how to think and talk, the fact these AI models need so much training data makes me suspect that either we’re missing something fundamental and trying to compensate with more training, or else we’ve devised a way to doing this that is really inefficient compared to however our brains do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please bro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you define it in a “artificial person/as smart as a human/can do anything a human can do” sort of way like I usually see, then yes, we know that it is possible, because if it were impossible for a system with human-equivalent capabilities to exist, than humans couldn’t exist, and well, we clearly do. That being said, that doesn’t mean that all we need to do to make one is to just feed more and more data into our existing AI tech.
