That’s for patient use only! You’ll have to transition first if you want to use it.

Sounds great on paper, in practice it’s almost entirely old white men who want to get rid of age of consent laws or people who want to be able to do insane, dangerous to others shit like feeding bears without anyone being able to stop them.

In summary, the ideology of selfish jackasses at best and pedophiles at worst.

I’ve barely kept track of it, but I think it kept getting knocked down by courts?

Oh no, guess I’ll have to not fly even harder 🤷‍♂️

Not my story, but it’s so good I have to share it: my classmate told me about how she was on a bus and some guy was arguing with the bus driver about fare or something, and the bus driver just gets up, takes off his bus driver vest thing, and fucking walks off the job! She said everyone on the bus was like WTF. Then when she left the bus and went to another bus stop to try to get home the driver was also just waiting at that stop, because obviously he drove the bus there and had no other way to get anywhere 😂

That’s an offensive stereotype. Some of us are autistic humanities nerds who are trying to be helpful, but come off as know-it-all and rude!

If that’s true that takes my interest in it into the negatives. ASOIAF has about a million moving parts and very distinct characters with complex backstories, there’s not even a small chance an LLM could come close to imitating that.

If you go here you can sort by size, uptime, etc, I’m not sure if anyone has made a curated list anywhere. There’s only a few instances with 100+ users, but since you’re seeing all the same fediverse content anyway it doesn’t matter much. My policy was to just pick an instance I trusted (already trusted Blahaj, so that was easy).

I would say it’s probably a good idea to pick an instance with at least 30-40 people, because the more people who have subscribed to remote communities, the more content will will automatically federate to the instance (therefor making it easier for you to find new content).

If you like Blahaj then there is also a Piefed Blahaj instance now! I like Piefed over lemmy, I don’t know if they’ve added it to lemmy since I left but I really like being able to mute replies. It has other features lemmy lacks too, like being able to block an entire instance or make feeds (multireddit like function).

Why’s that? Is it just in case you put it in the wrong spot?

[laughs in muting replies on Piefed]

Cat distribution system working as intended.

If LLMs can’t do whatever you tell them based purely on natural language instructions then they need to stop advertising it that way.

It’s not just advertisement that’s the problem, do any of them even have user manuals? How is a user with no experience prompting LLMs (which was everyone 3 years ago) supposed to learn how to formulate a “correct” prompt without any instructions? It’s a smokescreen for blaming any bad output on the user.

Oh, it told you to put glue in your pizza? You didn’t prompt it right. It gives you explicit instructions on how to kill yourself because you talked about being suicidal? You prompted it wrong. It completely makes up new medical anatomical terminology? You have once again prompted it wrong! (Don’t make me dig up links to all those news stories)

It’s funny the fediverse tends to come down so hard on the side of ‘RTFM’ with anything Linux related, but with LLMs it’s actually the user’s fault for believing they weren’t being sold a fraudulent product without a user manual.

In convinced the people who think it’s incredible literally just don’t know how to use a search engine, the one and only potentially useful function of LLMs other than writing asinine work related emails.

Hilarious to think nobody could notice how dogshit AI is without being handheld into it.

Keep your words out of my mouth

If you meant something else by:

ain’t no way she wrote a book.

I’m open to hearing it. But I’m not sure how you believed that statement gave the impression you thought she was literate.

It’s depressing to me that one of the top upvoted comments here is ‘there’s no way a deaf blind person could have been literate.’

You’re absolutely correct that her legacy has been used as inspiration porn, but that doesn’t reflect on her intellectual abilities at all, just what stories society and the powerful want us to hear. Even during her own life Keller experienced exactly that once she became a socialist, and suddenly all the newspapers and people who went on at length about how capable she was suddenly believed her unable to reason because she was blind and deaf. Keller herself even spoke out against using her story as a way to tell people that anyone can do anything, and specifically that the poor didn’t have the opportunities she had.

I’m glad they’ve never managed to puncture my sneakers while hiking, because god knows I’ve had enough embedded in my soles when I check.

Any professional corn farmers in the crowd? My unprofessional opinion: it didn’t get pollinated enough.
