Just to point out, Israel committing genocide is what makes people think Israel is committing genocide.

Most Republican thing this year

Ah, so fuck off kindly is a much better way to use this.

The people of our country just lack compassion

…, critical thinking skills, empathy, understanding of the world outside their county, ability to reason for themselves…

The list of shit I’m enraged about is absolutely spectacular. This just adds to it.

You’re spot on for all of that. Context windows have a lot to do with the unhinged behavior right now… But it’s a fundamental trait of how LLMs work.

For example, you can tell it to refer to you by a specific name and once it stops you know the context window is overrun and it’ll go off the rails soon… The newer chat bots have mitigations in place but it still happens a lot.

These are non-deterministic predictive text generators.

Any semblance of novel thoughts is due to two things for modern LLMs:

• Model “temperature”: a setting that determines how much “randomness” there is… with a value of 0 it will generate exactly what it can find that exactly follows what you gave it the best it can. Note it often breaks when you try this.

• It has more information than you: I’ve had interesting interactions with work where it came up with actually good ideas. These are all accounted for by MCPs allowing it to search and piece things together or the post training refinements and catalog augmentation though.

An LLM will only know what it knows.

AGI will be able to come up with novel information or work though things it’s never been trained on.

Really? All I need is that quote to know.

Ok, I think Bern has had the capital title for too long, they’re getting a little loopy, or the bears are wearing the man skin again pretending to be humans like they did in the 30s last time.

Either way, stop emulating the US and China damn you.

Seems like a strawman argument.

States have used religion and are often driven by it, and incorporate it.

Religion isn’t just worship of an invisible creator, religions exist following men.

Power and the Human Condition are ultimately the cause. Religions, states, all the infrastructure and economy and common ideology… It serves to control the population and ensure power.

A state that co-ops religion or a state that tries to force secularism are still going to do what they’re going to do, it’s the people and their intents.

Religion, government… They’re all tools that can be used depending on the people in charge.

Do we need government? Go ahead and debate.

Do we need religion? I’m going to say no, change my mind.

Social media

God damn you bringing all this rational and logic to a discussion. ~~This is reddit dammit! ~~ I have been informed this is not ::: reddit :::.

Either way, damn you, I just want to be angry! No thinky! Angry!

I’ll wait until the self server software is released

Yeah but we’re great again!

Right!

Right!??!

Oh man, all of Eric’s teachers are gone now.

More Trump family retribution I guess.

Technically it’s in place and used for a lot of assistant applications, they just didn’t flip the $fascist bool yet.

locked-down windows machines

I’ve worked in IT since we used Netware with Windows 3.1

While I totally get what’s being said, it still makes me chuckle.

Are you telling me you don’t VPN into the office when you arrive to the office?

Wish you were here bests them both.

Hats off to Roy Harper!

Andrej Babis wins again—but don’t be fooled by his “pro-Western” talk. This is a convicted embezzler who stole EU funds and has deep ties to the communist secret police (StB). His priority? Himself, not democracy or the Czech people.

He’s cozying up to far-right extremists like SPD and the Motorists, parties with Nazi-lite tendencies. This coalition looks like Hungary or Slovakia’s Kremlin-friendly puppets, not a strong NATO ally.

Claiming to support Ukraine but wanting to cut military aid is a betrayal. Russia’s war crimes won’t stop because Babis chooses convenience over courage. The Czech Republic should stand firm with Ukraine and NATO, not waver like some fence-sitter.

No more business as usual with oligarchs playing nationalist card. Europe’s security depends on pushing back hard against these populist, authoritarian backslides. Watch closely: words mean nothing without action.

Babis’s “pro-European” act is just a mask.
