We didn’t have call waiting, so for us it was literally just no using the internet before 9pm because you didn’t know who might call

There’s only about eight billion humans in existence. 3.56B daily active users is as close to saturated as you can get.

I arrogantly treated myself to a $90 bottle of shampoo, and it ended up lasting 12 whole months.

Just to highlight that as a real estate magnate, his entire empire is built on rent-seeking, i.e. accumulating wealth by the hoarding of a limited resource, without having created anything of value.

This billionaire did not create a billion dollars of value for society, even indirectly; he only took it from others.

I was going to reply to your other post, but then I got this far and realized you’re a condescending prick to everyone else as well, so I’m just gonna block and move on. Bye

I haven’t listened to it, but Jesus fucking Christ people who are performatively “carnivorous” and want you to know about it are infinitely more tedious and pathetic than the preachiest of vegans.

lol, you just proved their point quite well. Your example implicitly makes the equation between listening to Joe Rogan with theft and murder, and it immediately being understood as such just by virtue of being asked “do you listen to Joe Rogan”?

The thread was literally about the prompt text.

This is demonstrably false, given you can download your own models and change the system prompts yourself.

Yup. Claude once got obsessed with Yellowstone as well. It’s related to how tokens in embedding space can get triggered in unexpected ways.

I used to be philosophically anti-piracy in principle, and would often argue online against people who posted disingenuous or self-serving justifications for their actions. But these days the amount of piss-taking by the publishers has destroyed my resolve.

Yarrr.

There are a lot of people out there who are not mentally sound

See I think your reasoning there proves my point quite well. If the first explanation you go to is that the person is not mentally sound, then almost by definition these are actions that don’t make sense.

a data analytics tool that will help advance the agency’s modernization objectives for aviation safety.

SMART will cost $12 billion, and will supposedly help flight controllers schedule flights weeks in advance to cut down on delays.

“This software will say, ‘well, listen, we can see this 45 days out. Let’s move some of those flights a little bit later, or five, seven, 10 minutes earlier, and we can resolve the issue. And so then you are not delayed,'” Duffy said.

Nothing in any of the facts as reported there suggest the use of language models, except for the editorialising in the summary about how LLMs hallucinate things, which makes me wonder about how competent Futurism’s tech journalism is.

I don’t know how to respond to that beyond posting what’s already been said.

a gunman opened fire near a security checkpoint at the event in Washington DC.

He was tackled by agents just short of a staircase which leads down to a ballroom where the annual White House correspondents’ dinner attended by hundreds of journalists and public figures was getting under way.

Officials said he possessed multiple weapons and appears to have acted alone.

How would anyone imagine they’d be able to just blast their way through security checkpoints to get to the President? Did he think he was Neo or something?

Yeah it’s not great how far I had to scroll to find someone pointing out that “AI tools for planning” and “Putting an LLM in an air traffic controller’s seat” are not the same thing.

The quote I saw elsewhere that summed it up best for me is, “even if it’s real, it’s still fake”.

The whole thing was just a bit too rubbish, like, if you were going to try shooting the President, the events as report seem like such an obviously useless way to go about it that there’s got to be something else going on.

My favourite conspiracy theory is that it’s their way of getting an already-sympathetic White House press corps to feel like they’re part of the whole thing, that attacks on the President are also attacks on them personally - trying to create a feeling that they and Trump are all trauma survivors who are in it together.

$NATO anyone?

I wouldn’t say they’re too good, but the kind of mistakes they make are different to this one.

Looking at how the clock in Windows defaults based on region, it seems to be mostly the Whiter of the former British colonies plus a few South American countries that use 12h (for computing, at least). The rest of the world are all 24h.
