The problem is that it’s not actually counting anything. It’s simply looking for some text somewhere in its database that relates to that word and the number of R’s in that word. There’s no mechanism within the LLM to actually count things. It is not designed with that function. This is not general AI, this is a Generative Adversarial Network that’s using its vast vast store of text to put words together that sound like they answer the question that was asked.

Yeah it’ll be like the machine that you find in museums where you put in a quarter and get an injection molded toy hot out of the mold. You just hook your arm up to an IV and it starts extracting your blood and then when it gets enough of the plastic it melts it and pushes it into the mold and spits out a little toy dinosaur.

Then you’ve led a charmed life cause most of us get hired on a handshake and a nod.

Most people aren’t working on a contract. And in the U.S. most states are at-will employment (something companies lobby heavily for) meaning you can be fired for any reason whatsoever, but is also means you can quit at any time you like in whatever manner suits you.

🤦 The movie is based on shorts that aired on MTV’s Liquid Television in the mid 90’s.
It eventually got its own full show as well.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
I blame the marketing for that movie not doing well. People went expecting a “wacky Jim Carrey flick” and what they got was a surreal and frightening thriller.
Eddie Murphy’s “Holy Man” suffers that bad marketing issue as well. They plastered so many ads making it out to be a loony Eddie Murphy film and the film is more of a drama about believing in one’s self and not seeking external validation, with a few gags in it making fun of television shopping networks and the stupid shit people buy from them cause yeah, it’s Eddie Murphy of course they’re gonna have fun with it. But that’s only like 1/3rd of the film.

I knew a guy who swore that Garbage Pail Kids The Movie was a goddamned masterpiece of cinema.
I can only watch it in 15 minute stints before the nausea takes effect.

The one we have is a Bosch and IMO it’s the worst. If I had been in charge of replacing our old one I would have chosen something way better.
It’s indicator for the cycle being done? A tiny beep that goes off like every 5 minutes or so for maybe an hour. Otherwise, the first person to open the door gets to see the clean dishes indicator light. After that it’s anyone’s guess. And the wash cycle is extremely quiet (this is actually a nice feature if it weren’t for the fact that it’s impossible to tell if it’s in the middle of a cycle or fully done other than the afore mentioned faint intermittent beep).
- Comment on No looky for you! 2 weeks ago:
I’m actually more pissed off that here in 2025 we haven’t developed a dishwasher that has a blow dry cycle. Like, just have a small water tight door that flips open to reveal a fan that circulates warm air to dry the dishes.
But no, instead we have the dubious development of dishwashers that no longer have a cup for the prewash soap (which is still 100% necessary) because those stupid pods exist and on some models all the indicator lights have been relocated to the inside of the door where you can’t see if the cycle is done unless you open the door which, if the dishwasher is still in the middle of washing, will disrupt the cycle.

LoL, this just reminded me of the movie “Shoot 'em Up” with Clive Owen’s character being a stone cold badass while munching on carrots he grows in his garage.
BTW, though it is a cartoonishly ridiculous action flick, “Shoot 'em Up” is a terrifically fun movie to watch.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 3 weeks ago:
This is because “The Drug War” is just a device for political persecution of the people that whoever is in power wants to harass or outright remove. It’s the Nixon Playbook and it’s not just Republicans who use it.

What if we just fed TimeCube into the AI models. Surely that would turn them inside out in no time flat.
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 3 weeks ago:
I believe that’s a close-up of the inside of a pitcher plant. Which is a plant that sits there all day wafting out a sweet smell of food, waiting around for insects to fall into its fluid filled “belly” where they thrash around fruitlessly until they finally die and are dissolved, thereby nourishing the plant they were originally there to prey upon.
Fitting analogy, no?
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I watched the first two episodes of Foundation and immediately peaced out. And that one’s even more ridiculous because the foundation books are more of an outline than an actual fleshed out story. So really, all they had to do was fill in the blanks. And they still fucked it up beyond all recognition. I’m sure it was probably enjoyable to somebody who’s never read even one of the Foundation books. But for somebody who’s read the entire series it was an insult.

Yeah, I have friends who love that show and I could barely making it to 4 episodes. They literally killed off the best character/actor in the second or third episode.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 3 weeks ago:
Meh
They screwed it up completely within the first 5 minutes of the first episode so not a big deal for anyone who’s actually read the books.

Wow yeah, I just looked into the Wikipedia entry for this game. It looks like they make a lot more money as an unreleased project than they would ever make as a fully realized game.

I mean, if you look up “gamergate” and see the real reason why these little whiny bitches had such a shit fit. You can see that a lot of male gamers are a bunch of whiny little bitches who throw idiotic tantrums whenever anything highlights women in the gaming world.

That’s not bitterness, that astringent. That’s a whole different thing. And generally it means you’re brewing your tea too long.
- Comment on quick health tip 5 weeks ago:
try adding a pinch of salt to your regular coffee
This literally takes away one of coffee’s biggest flavor enhancers which is its slightly bitter taste. If you do this, you might as well be drinking fucking tea.

Okay but the last time I checked that wasn’t the type of coffee. 🫤
