Exactly this. Corrupt frauds through and through. They're weak and ineffective, so they cosplay with letterhead instead.

It's because expressing emotion tests well in RLHF (reinforcement learning, human feedback), which is the layer on top of the next-token-predictor LLM. As a bonus, it helps manipulate operator reactions to incorrect output, and improve

Seems like we risk the atrophy of western software while surpassed by software developed in places and cultures where they don't "move fast and break things". We have never needed to "move slow and fix things" more

Wait... Did you just fictional strawman a fictional strawman? Because I don't think I've ever heard anyone say an expert gets brainwashed by AI into forgetting everything they ever knew. Maybe losing some skills that require regul

Well, if the phenotype or trait due to any random gene was the differentiation between race, species, or anything else besides that specific trait, you might have a point in support of OP. But unfortunately for racist ducks there are so man

Exactly this. Oxygen in minerals is very different than gaseous oxygen.

Definitely. I'm not saying there aren't average differences. We literally see different physical traits. But physical traits are a minute fraction of all the complexity that is the human genome. And all of those physical traits ar

And DigitalOcean customer support is non-existent. I had a mail server down and they cut service instead of trying to contact me in any other way. But worse, when they do that, they immediately destroy your data without any possibility to r

I wasn't talking about anything related to your opinions. I was pointing out that Fox had to claim "entertainment" in court for their opinion commentators long before MSNBC. Because you disingenuously implied that MSNBC was s

None of what you said refutes the fact that genetic diversity is just as different within two people of the same ethnicity as it is between different ethnicities. You listed a handful of traits from a handful of genes. And from that you m

Nope. I'm still going to blame Google for their own actions. Nice try, though. I'm old enough to remember when Google pretended to take responsibility for not being evil. Even had it as their motto.

Why would anyone blindly criticize AI tools, when there are so many flaws to see?

Excellent point, but I still think the oligarchs have gotten a little monopoly-happy.

> Competition is bad? Who cares - let the big players subsidize and compete between each other. Subsidizing is the opposite of competing. It's literally the practice of underpricing your product to box out competition. If everyone w

Maybe they want you to spend an extra 10 cents every time you drop in and buy something? And they get to be pro environment. Win win.
