The absurdity of people defending possibly the worst system of rationing healthcare on the planet will never grow stale. I suppose straight up denying healthcare based on class would be worse. But such a system would actually afford its cus

The walking corpse that is the american healthcare system is really showing its bones right now

Look I don't disagree, but i thought we were discussing Corporate LLMs—chatbots made in service of private equity and capital.

Ok but "overmurder" isn't a thing, so how is murder relevant?

Given how poorly our defense spending effects literally anything related to our security, I'd rather not discover what havoc our government might wreak on the internet.

The "over" prefix does actually imply a level of acceptable abuse, regardless of whether or not you consider this a moral judgement. Otherwise what would the prefix imply? It's inherently a comparison to some implicit degree

This is why you need to make a point to interview stoned to set expectations appropriately.

by DinaCoder99 3y ago
Well it certainly represents a failure to communicate coherent semantics to people who don't recognize acceptable forms of abuse.

Surely "espeak" also struggles with the code leading to the debugger, no? This seems like a much larger problem than just the ui, and adding an LLM to the mix isn't going to fix anything. (Unless of course the debugger is bei

Hell, why build with wood at all when other materials like bamboo are around? Because nobody is trying to sell you bamboo. Our use of wood has everything to do with market effects run amok.

"Safety" is really a weird term for "bad pr for corporate software". It has nothing to do with safety as it's in any other context. Talk about speaking without mutually intelligible semantics! Unfortunately, this pr

Yea, I think that Bluesky is far more likely to inherent the good parts of Twitter/X than Threads, if only for a far more flexible moderation policy.

"recognizing prompts that cannot be solely interpreted by semantics" Humans certainly don't interpret language solely by semantics—why is this considered a flaw in chatbots?

Is Google Messages the only messaging app on android that allows RCS interactions? On the iPhone, iMessages is the only app that has direct access to SMS functionality, but I understand that this isn't the case on android. Is this true

Wouldn't actual usage be more relevant than app downloads? I certainly know many people who still use twitter, but I can't say the same about threads.

That still binds individuals to cars, though. I imagine the actual solution will involve removing the need for cars or enabling bulk transportation.

Why use ints in the first place if what you really want is strings?

No, that's just not true. And besides, that seems like a small concern compared to the enormously destructive effects alcohol has far from any organized crime. A wildly entertaining effect to be sure, but not one that touches the lives

? Really? Neuroticism about health is one of the most common vectors for modern secular americans to moralize at all. Just look how worked up people get about obesity and smoking, both of which are very high risk factors for (among many oth
