This article gives me the feeling of someone arguing that the Thai restaurant I like isn’t serving real Thai food. They might even be right, but I don’t know because I don’t care. I like the food. Back to the article, they then list a bunch

Yikes, they’ll have to arrest most of the current federal administration if they ever set foot in Texas if that post meets the criteria for that particular law. That’s going to cause problems.

Accidentally inferring. They were using basic machine learning to send coupons for predicted future purchases based on past purchases and general trends. And as far as I’m aware, it only happened once (or was only publicized once).

I still don’t understand the problem since you are the person who writes a prompt.

> What pattern do they think this is consistent with? They clearly stated what pattern this usage is consistent with: using it as a sort of personal scratch pad. You’re assigning more meaning to the statement than there is. They are simp

I’m confused how that is relevant to the thread. If you’ve been using Google then you’ve already been sending your queries to Google since the very beginning. Are you afraid you’re accidentally going to write a prompt injection that sends y

Yep, and I hate it. For our kids we’ve started just inviting a bunch of the kid’s friends and extending the invitation to each friend’s whole family and just having a chill house party. We also invite a friend’s family for the kid not havin

I fail to see how that’s relevant to the user of a search engine.

Your usage of “practice” was correct, but the commenter was making a joke based on the other connotation of “practice”, in the sense of repeatedly doing something to improve.

Why a school, in this day and age, is posting pictures of children is beyond me. At my kid’s school we refused to sign the photo release clause, and any time they might be taking pictures they had to email us to ask if it was OK if our chil

I like being warned about AI generated content before I waste time reading. If the author couldn’t even be bothered to write it, it’s a good sign I shouldn’t be bothered to read it.

What I meant is games being basically numbers dressed up in something more fun. Pretty much all games are just data manipulation GUIs. Though some do definitely incorporate game mechanics that strongly prioritize and reward good decision ma

This was a speech, not a debate. When you don’t like someone’s speech, this is how you can show it. People have been doing it for as long as people have given speeches.

Pretty much any game does (even the ones I enjoy). What I was wondering is what is the gameplay delta between this and a real gacha game. Some games, while basically a dressed up RNG, still give heavy weight to player input and decision-mak

You’re lost in the desert, with no food or water but only a lump of gold. Everything is fine because nothing in the universe is better than gold.

Having never played gacha games but getting a good laugh out of this, is this really a thing people play? How different is the real gameplay?

That’s their mistake, and any other email I receive from them will be flagged as spam and sent to the junk folder. I’m not in the business of fixing their mistakes for free. I will click the unsubscribe link and that’s it.

“Hateful woke culture”? You know the “woke” people are on to something when their critics project their own flaws back onto “woke culture” as a means to delegitimize it. “Woke” is a reaction to hateful culture. “Hateful woke” is the modern
