Natural language doesn't NEED to be precise- that's what theory of mind is for, to allow efficient inference of meaning from objectively-ambiguous communication. It's not perfect, but LLMs appear capable of making the same ki

Almost all child abuse is perpetuated by people the child knows in person. The fact that there's a fuckton of creeps online has very little to do with it.

Is there anywhere in the world left that's neither on the way to becoming a dystopia nor already a hellhole unless you're a male local?

Your argument comes across really wrong when you use "man" instead of "person".

Just as ML vision and surveillance have been used in China to genocide Uyghurs, LLM and anti-privacy laws will be able to trivially replace the need for human collaborators in the perpetuation of any arbitrary atrocity.

I don't disagree with you. It feels somehow wrong to engage in theory of mind and the concomitant effects on your personality with an AI owned by a corporation. If OpenAI wished to, they could use it for insidious manipulation.

Question: If I want to play with all the different AI models, what cloud service offers the best value proposition for noncontinuous use that allows me to run whatever I want(e.g. SD webui, etc)?

My educated guess based on science I've read: A combination of a probiotic juice containing postbiotic metabolites(they're what maintains a healthy microbiome) with a high dose(billions of CFU) freeze dried one might be optimal. I

I'm going through the same thing. I spent the last year constantly ill, barely able to get out of bed. Day 5 of probiotics with each meal, and I'm rediscovering my creative enthusiasm.

Oh wow that sounds absurd. I have a friend with extremely strong BO, and I need to be right next to him to notice even if he's not showered in a week. The notion of smelling people across rooms... it's as freaky to me as if you&#x

Congratulations, you have sleep disordered breathing. Get a sleep study, ideally one that scores UARS and not only sleep apnea.

This is a misconception, urine doesn't have many microorganisms, but it isn't quite sterile. And, strange, I find that despite a very weak sense of smell, I can smell mine if I'm even a little dehydrated and it isn't cle

Too bad that nowadays our jaw development is so compromised and allergies so common that just about all of us have deviated septums and nasal cavities too narrow and misshapen for enough inhaled air to reach the right receptors. I'm, f

With how rampant antibiotic use is, how undertreated GI issues are, and how much we've normalized feeling miserable all the time, it wouldn't surprise me if most people had a bad gut microbiome. For several years now, I've be

For murder to be comparable to piracy, it'd have to involve materialising a dead copy of a person who then keeps on living their life, possibly without even being aware. For the most part it'd just be creepy as shit and violating,

To be clear: The human microbiome contains hundreds of strains of bacteria, often in an established ecosystem. An FMT introduces hundreds of microbes, usually shifting the entire microviome around. Probiotics aren't incapable of changi

Humans are great at responding to situations they're in the middle of, and awful at doing anything about problems a few layers of abstraction above their everyday life. Corporations have departments to get around this problem, the aver
