The us gov should pay for this sort of research to be published... bonus points for binaries.

well... really thank the courts... the creator of the prompt gets to own the output...

Count to five in your head before answering any good questions.

They get trained to get you to misspeak, and they ask you questions that if you answer them like a normal human you give up rights...

Duh, they have to destroy it to be indemnified.

Fifth amendment compensation doesn't happen cause the courts are corrupt. No blame no problem.

37.8 seems low, I suspect the "shipped goods" percentage is higher.

The measure of these services shouldn't be if you can sell a new product and make money.

It should be that you can sell a cheaper, better version of an Amazon basics product and overtake it.

If there is literally no way to do that... Amazon is clearly a market manipulator.

It's going to come out that Amazon calls the manufacturers for their basics goods, sends them the leading competing item and has them make it with slightly less expensive components to undercut the cost of the competitor.

It's so blatantly obvious if you've ever done a side by side in things like lamps, backpacks etc and other super simple designs.

Truth, the primary impact was the ability to arbitrarily inflate the cost of soft goods dramatically inside the terminal.

It's such a good racket Hudson News...a little news stand company inside a few dozen terminals was able to go public on the NYSE...

The public perception that security is "doing it's job" is non-existent since everyone knows it's at best a jobs program and in practice another group of people measurably stealing travellers things.

Haas is still selling parts to Russia for their CNC mills even though they're sanctioned. They do it by selling to a Chinese middleman.

NSO Group probably uses an Indian intermediary (my first guess) and does the same thing.

Social media removed the corrective elements of previous mechanisms. There's no longer a "trusted party" who helps you when you're in the wrong, there are "enemies" who "dunk on you."

The purpose of broadcasting isn't the same as conversation. People want the result of a positive interaction, but they do that by chasing hundreds of negative ones.

The negative interactions are actually better for the platform as they are (in some studies) almost 10x as effective at driving engagement. So the companies looking for "the most engaging" communities, drive more negative interactions.

The people looking for the most clicks, chase the "dunking" and "counter dunking" interactions, and it becomes at best 90% of the platform, at in reality like 99% of what you see while you're doom scrolling.

Social media is awful, and draws out our worst impulses as a business model.

He was childlike in his pranksterism. He never seemed to lose his wonder or his ability to make you feel like a jackass.

The man who could whistle the nuclear codes has passed away. And now maybe I can strike the social engineering village before the sun comes up.

So it's funny, when they first started rolling these out folks were interested, intrigued even. Folks walking would give them deference, mostly not run in front of them if they saw them, very unlike how they treat regular drivers. But now folks are getting sick of them.

So they were modeling all their behavior and driving around cooperative pedestrians and cars (mostly) now they have to model for an adversarial public.

Good fucking luck.

Hft needs to die.

This is the mutant expectation of a company that's very existence hinges on fucking over legitimate human made trades.

My old Windows 98SE box on a 200Mhz MMX processor was perfect responsiveness.

We say that today, and remember the best part of the experience... but we do forget, it was all at the mercy of your (maybe if you're lucky) UltraATA/33mhz bus.

The latest revelations have started pushing folks to completely removing their content from the platform.

Nuke reddit (only on the edge extension store it looks like) is giving their frontends a workout.

Profs using Language models, grammar analysis engines and autoscoring are now mad students have the inversion of their tools too.

This has big "algebra teacher is mad at smartphones" energy.

I gave bard your text, asked it to make it appear as though a AI didn't write it, and then gave it back to chatgpt... Neither one can definitely identify if it's written by AI anymore

So... You trained the model with all the text you could find.

And we trained all those students on all the same text...

And then we run a comparison to identify if they used the same source material...

Aaaand everyone's cheating.

They tweeted snapshots of the accounts that were banned last tweets.

So few people use a privacy codes it just makes it easier to track if he uses it.

This kinda thing is great for the "remote work at all hours" is the erzats demon keeping software companies alive. If it is, we'll likely see some downtime, lots of typical E company results (burned out software folks, higher turnover than is industry standard, and much lower pay since Elon doesn't negotiate at silicon valley salary expectations at any of his companies...

If in 2 years Twitter isn't significantly smaller (think 1500 people) and significantly cheaper to run I'd be surprised.

If in 2 years twitter isn't the worst place to work in the valley I'd also be surprised.

Surprise! That's when he last ran a software company.

I know it's stupid, and at the time political, but I keep my certificate that came with my NASA award. As a kid who always wanted to be an astronaut, helping the space program enough that they give you a postit note that says "thank you" in government speak is still my highest honor.

Heh. The web archive about to get banned along with the gutenberg library.

So... Weibo, but the UK version.

As if Gov't does their own IT infrastrucutre...

This is a windfall for Gov't contractors.

They used the Fawlty Towers bit where he literally made fun of hitler...

The bit I'm sure he was referencing was the "Mr Hilter" bits in Monty Python... He literally played Hitler to make fun of him...

It is hilarious though that Cleese can Godwin any argument instantly.

Do something that alters your baseline consciousness long enough and it becomes your baseline. Doing anything over a long period of time with regularity will change you.

You have definitely met pot smokers who have, and do live perfectly normal lives because their baseline is better. You probably have no idea who they are.

Driving high is like driving as a grandma.

You're hyper vigilant, looking everywhere, your reactions are delayed a little such as that of an 60 year old person, and you're definitely listening to speed "limit" as the maximum, and not as the average.

This is no doubt an unintended consequence of city ordinances/state laws that require you be X feet away from others. Where the fuck-else can you go other than a public place if you live in the city and have no yard?
