Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

It's definitely true that there's some major cracks. I know I've asked it about some things I know the answer to and it comes back with untrue answers.

But man, it's light years ahead of anything I've seen before.

I'm of two minds in this regard. On one hand, the people who are pushing for "a growing economy" usually are worried about rich people's yacht money. OTOH, the economy makes things like the ways we feed ourselves, and the way we heat our homes, and other stuff we need to not die.

It seems like too many people are focused on the evils of the former without considering the evils of harming the latter. Having to choose between freezing to death and starving to death isn't a good place to be.

criminey... That's some nice loads.

I have to admit, I was wrong about something.

Having used ChatGPT for a few days now, it's on a completely different level. I thought AI wasn't going to be a big deal because every AI I've ever seen puts out what relatively speaking is garbage, but I've had extended conversations with it on very diverse topics, and while I can see cracks, I can't see very many.

If I were all the english majors out there, I'd be very afraid because language models like this have the potential to make the tiny minority of those with 9-5 jobs in their field just as unemployable as the rest of them.

If AI becomes absolutely massive, it's going to be a strangely conservative force, talking to it. By definition it can't really come up with ideas it's never been fed, so if people rely on it to find answers for them, it'll only provide answers someone else has already come up with to an extent. The answers might be even left or woke, but the answers could become trapped in time, and eventually it could end up a self-reinforcing thing like wikipedia, where someone says something on wikipedia that's wrong, journalists use wikipedia for research, the incorrect thing gets said in the media, which wikipedia can then use to justify it's incorrect thing.

Wait.... Is that true?

Same with hydroelectric in much of Canada. Canada could be 100% hydroelectric and power most of the northern states as well, but cheap energy that doesn't require burning fossil fuels using technologies that have been proven for a century just isn't something anyone cares about. Instead we need to try to invest heavily in magical environmentalism boxes that don't do fuck all 9 months a year.

These people don't realize their ideology is so unimaginably bigoted that they should probably go take a trip to Canada so Mr. Trudeau can help them with their mental problems.

Yes. People are just finally getting the punchline as the bubble pops.

Ah, I see. Good point.

In my view, anyone with half a brain should've known Tesla had a shelf life. His electric car company is competing with Toyota, and Toyota is a company with one of the longest proven track records in this field thanks to pioneering the Prius. Once they start rolling out their EVs, why would someone choose a Tesla?

Harry is a lost cause. He's done. He'd best stick with the e-list celebrity, because after all he's done there won't be any sympathy at home if he comes back with his tiny tail between his legs.

If there's any group you'd want to recruit, they're the most economically beneficial ones. Sure they'll fight poorly, but look mAh, no pensions!

Anyone else think the "I'm not a robot" button on chatgpt is lowkey hilarious?

lol and I lead with the question about the dead pakistani. Nice knowing you guys.

Playing with ChatGPT, it's just accurate enough to be dangerous... But just inaccurate enough to be dangerous...

"I'm sorry, but I am unable to see or interact with the physical world. I am just a computer program designed to assist with answering questions and providing information on a wide range of topics. I don't have the ability to see or observe anything in the physical world, including a person on your couch. If you are concerned about someone being in your home, it is important to seek help from a trusted friend or family member, or to contact the authorities if necessary. Please do not hesitate to reach out for help if you are in a situation that is causing you concern or distress."

Not very funny at all. I've been let down.

I'm all-in on nextcloud for many purposes, and it includes a password keeping app.

Learn to co-- oh nevermind.

Watching Kevin McCarthy try over and over to win a vote he's lost sort of reminds me of rimarus great sage skill trying over and over to evolve into archangel Raphael thousands of times and failing, except it's a sell out jerk and not a friendly demon lord trying to resurrect his friends who were unjustly murdered.

It's amazing that governments that can't keep their own people safe from basic violent crimes are so interested in policing stuff that can't hurt anyone.
