As professionals, they should be aware of how they come across in public. I'm not saying they are incompetent at all (although I've met a few where that could be debated) but that they make themselves appear incompetent by complai

Thinking how the answers are derived, are you surprised? People seem blind to the word "artificial" and try to give it properties that just aren't there. I gave exactly the same prompt and got: > Yes, I am based on the

Stress Bragging is a big thing in infosec these days. I generally mute people who start off constantly bragging about how much they enjoy the job, followed immediately by 3 or 4 additional posts on how they can barely manage getting up in t

I am interested in this sort of thing, but we seem to have a rash of bad tenants in the news who have stopped paying rent for a myriad of reasons, strapping the owner for tens of thousands of dollars. Needless to say our landlord/tenan

I've had 13 hour flights. Unbearable! By the time I got to my destination the first time, I had a severely thorough understanding of Lisp macros. There isn't much else to do, other than look out the window at clouds and ocean, or

I don't get why they specify that it's not actually a henge, since a henge is "a prehistoric monument consisting of a circle of stone or wooden uprights" and "dating from around 3000 BC to 2000 BC, during the Neolit

This seems to be a perfect example of where replacing a real artist with AI is an unnecessary expense. I could see this on a site like Fiverr for a whole lot less money.

I remember everyone saying that back in the late 90's when commercial web was approaching. But there's never been a time (except the obvious Pre-Internet era) where non-commercial Internet hasn't thrived in all its defiance a

Very interesting. I thought I had found an anti-plagiarism thing on a MapArt streetmap, where it shows a nearby school's race track as being a lot larger, and facing the opposite direction, and the school itself is a lot smaller. Looki

Once companies are held accountable for the weapons and whatever else the money they paid in ransom gets spent on, things will finally change. Until then, we use the word "victim" with too much lenience. The secondary victims, the

Yes it likely is. I've had time to play around and see that so far it doesn't look any different (yet). I have a paid account, so apparently I'll be among the early folks getting all the things. Just not yet. I definitely loo

One thing that I find problematic is that it is nearly impossible to create images of Mother Goose rhymes. For example, in Three Blind Mice, the farmer's wife cuts off their tails with a carving knife. Try to get ChatGPT to create an i

Judging by the name, the exciting part is the framework it was written on. As a habit, I do not use software that relies on code association in the name as a selling point. A lot of new coders use this naming convention, as they've bec

It's making images for me when I ask it to. I'm using the web interface, if that helps. It doesn't have all the 4o options yet, but it does do pictures. I think they are the same as with 4.5. I just noticed after further test

A test I've been using for each new version still fails. Given the lyrics for Three Blind Mice, I try to get ChatGPT to create an image of three blind mice, one of which has had its tail cut off. It's pretty much impossible for it

This put the fear of God in me when I was a child. Sleep paralysis, which often joins it, feels quite frightening to a kid who doesn't know what's going on.

Diana Deutsch has something called the HIGH-LOW effect, where one ear hears the words high and low repeated, and the other ear hears the same thing, but in opposition so when one ear hears HIGH, the other heard LOW. After a while of listeni

I've heard this called Musical Ear Syndrome because it can manifest as either muffled random voices, or random music. Sometimes drugs trigger it. I was on a medication for a week that made my washroom fan seem to emit choir music. It w

That's all sushi. Even in Japan. Sushi Grade means it was frozen long enough and deeply enough to kill parasites, versus the standard grades which are kept cold, but aren't frozen at all.

It may very well mean it has seen that question answered before. It'll be hard to find a question that nobody has ever asked or discussed on the Internet, but if you can think of one, ask an LLM and see if it can figure it out correctl

One is closely related to the German that you hear in Germany today. The other is more closely related to the Amish Mennonite German, which is very different. There are similarities, but they are different enough that some people feel they

The word "enshitification" already exists. AI producing content everywhere has become a subset of this term that already exists. It isn't new. If you've ever read articles that use phrases that don't make any sense

Read my comment that I made fleshing this out. You are very wrong. Well, you're right that laser is stronger than "regular" light, but your reasoning is totally wrong. And polarization has absolutely nothing to do with it. Yo
