It should be a basic requirement of literally any public office. That fact that we have got this far baffles me utterly.

Pattern recognition is one thing that our brains do, it is a very long way away from the only thing our brains do.

I’d say if you have 80% of the requirements you might as well apply. I would frankly ignore years of experience more or less entirely.

It’s not exactly uncommon for a listing to advertise the person they want, but to accept applicants with significantly less on the basis that they can get there. Nearly every job I’ve ever got I was not at the level advertised in something or other.

No I will not fucking hear you out Jeremy

No thanks, I’ll stay home

ChatGPT is not designed to fool us into thinking it’s a human. It produces language with a specific tone & direct references to the fact it is a language model. I am confident that an LLM trained specifically to speak naturally could do it. It still wouldn’t be intelligent, in my view.

The best place to make new friends is at the urinals. It’s considered polite to strike up a conversation and if nothing else pass a friendly comment on your neighbour’s todger.

The Turing test is flawed, because while it is supposed to test for intelligence it really just tests for a convincing fake. Depending on how you set it up I wouldn’t be surprised if a modern LLM could pass it, at least some of the time. That doesn’t mean they are intelligent, they aren’t, but I don’t think the Turing test is good justification.

For me the only justification you need is that they predict one word (or even letter!) at a time. ChatGPT doesn’t plan a whole sentence out in advance, it works token by token… The input to each prediction is just everything so far, up to the last word. When it starts writing “As…” it has no concept of the fact that it’s going to write “…an AI A language model” until it gets through those words.

Frankly, given that fact it’s amazing that LLMs can be as powerful as they are. They don’t check anything, think about their answer, or even consider how to phrase a sentence. Everything they do comes from predicting the next token… An incredible piece of technology, despite it’s obvious flaws.

That article is confusing, the title suggests there’s a difference in how “should” and “ought” are used, but besides the fact that “ought” sometimes comes with “to” there doesn’t seem to be one.

I think they’re posted on the website with today’s date as the title.

Take a look through all the old posts. They all just have the day’s date on them.

Newer laser can work on lighter hair, still less effective but possible nowadays.

I wasn’t really considering the flag smashers, honestly, they didn’t leave much of an impact. I was thinking more about Sam & Bucky’s separate personal struggles - Sam with becoming a black Captain America, and Bucky with making amends. To me the real interesting conflict was not the one with the flag smashers - that just forms a standard comic-book backdrop to the more interesting look at America itself.

Personally I really liked the story it told pretty much throughout. It’s a while since I saw it, but I remember enjoying the more serious tone & challenges. It was nice seeing issues that the characters didn’t just have to punch haha.

The Marvel TV shows have imo been much better than the films for a while now. Moon Knight, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, What If?.. All great.

LLMs are just predictive text but bigger

No they aren’t, the males just live in the hive and their only purpose is to fuck

It’s amazing what your phone can run, even better if you have a Bluetooth controller.
