false flag attack to get people off Trump’s back about Epstein files?

Live next to a waterfall and you’ll be fine.

Well they thought butterflies ate butter, so they called them “flies that eat butter”, hence butterfly. (that’s one of the theories at least)

Wiktionary tells me it meant “butterfly caterpillars”.

Huh??

Leaving aside the questions whether it would benefit us, what makes you think LLM won’t bring about technical singularity? Because, you know, the word LLM doesn’t mean that much… It just means it’s a model, that is “large” (currently taken to mean many parameters), and is capable of processing languages.

Don’t you think whatever that will bring about the singularity, will at the very least understand human languages?

So can you clarify, what is it that you think won’t become AGI? Is it transformer? Is it any models that trained in the way we train llms today?

Well, you described pretty well what llms were trained to do. But from there you can’t derive how they are doing it. Maybe they don’t have real knowledge, or maybe they do. Right now literally no one can definitively claim one way or the other, not even top of the field ML researchers. (They may have opinions though)

I think it’s perfectly justified to hate AI, but it’s better to have a less biased view of what it is.

Is it really that difficult to find a picture of peach that AI has to be used to make this meme?

8, resurrect a dead language will make some linguists overjoyed

7. And use it to settle the great Newcomb’s paradox.

Why is there a legless stick figure floating in the chart?

And it’s kinda funny to see it breaks so many people’s brain.

Is it really so complicated to support them suing UK over OSA, without supporting the sites themselves?

Not all parts of a pufferfish are poisonous, right? So I guess some made it and some didn’t and people eventually figured out why. Also I heard a little bit of the poison makes you high.

This is how some invasive species got their starts.

I am not paying for this :)

you shouldn’t either

I heard it’s also possible that the radiation hit your retina and make your neurons go off? Maybe even your visual cortex?

The ‘Stay Put’ thing

wait, you have a problem with that point?? as you yourself already pointed out, the “fireproof box” thought was only true with the original design, after the renovation that’s simply not the case, saying fire would be contained is just plain wrong. what’s even the point of bringing that up. but let’s even just ignore that, there is a fire in the building, even if you think the fireproof should hold the fire, i don’t get why wouldn’t you evacuate the building just in case? what if you are wrong, can you take that risk when the consequence is so many people losing their lives?? and even if you thought initially that staying put was the correct thing for the residents to do, once you realize you don’t the fire under control, wouldn’t you start the evacuation as soon as possible? why was that policy in place for so long??

i mean i am absolutely not saying the firefighter should take majority of the blame. they did save many people’s live that day, and there’s just so much wrong with everything else, the housing system, fire regulation, there are too many things I can’t list most of them. but like, can’t you at least admit they were wrong on this one?

You are seeing on a glimpse of a huge, interconnected social issue that I don’t have the ability to competently articulate. Council housing obviously have a bad self-reinforcing image problem: no one wants to live in them, so only desperate people live there; because only desperate people live there, no one wants to live there. But that’s because the government fucked it up, it’s not an inherent attribute of social housing. UK had pretty good social housing post-war until Thatcher gutted it with things like Right to Buy.

If there is a solution to the worsening housing crisis, then social housing must be an integral part of that solution. So we must get building and normalize the image of social housing. I get quite mad looking at the current Labour government just sits doing nothing about it.

Grenfell Tower is its special kind of hell too. Sure the building itself wasn’t kept up to standard, but also the abhorrent response to the fire. The residents were told to STAY PUT IN THE BUILDING ffs.

So yeah, makes me feel bad that brutalist architecture gets bad reputation in the UK despite they themselves doing nothing wrong.

I think people often describe brutalism as cold, souless, dehumanizing, etc. But the principle behind is actually very humanitarian. They forgo grandiose decorations, embellishments, and instead choose to rather gain their form from function, and to maximize their functions so they can serve their inhabitants better. Many, many brutalist buildings were built as affordable, social housing during the post war era, when wealth inequality was perhaps the lowest in Europe.

And additionally, to me, because of how laid bare they are, they become an embodiment of transparency, and honesty that I wish our society can have more of.

(Don’t listen to me, there are many good articles/videos explaining brutalism way better than I could. Maybe this video on Habitat 67?)

Okay I am a big fan of brutalist architecture. Guess I am in the minority… I feel the philosophy behind it is just being wildly misunderstood.

If you gonna say it you gonna face the consequences. You can’t have shit takes then play the victim when people rightfully criticize you.
