It doesn't matter if you make assumptions or not - your prompt does. I think the point of failure isn't even necessarily the LLM, but your writing - because you leave the model no leeway or a way to report back on something truly

That only works if: 1. You assume that your LLM of choice is perfect and impartial on every given topic, ever. 2. You assume that your prompt doesn't interfere with said impartiality. What you have written may seem neutral at first gla

I was talking about RAM - in that running Chromium on its own already has a preset RAM penalty due to how complicated it must be. But window buffers are usually in VRAM, not regular RAM, right? And I assume that their size would be relative

This seems like a simple conclusion, to the point where I'm surprised that no one replying to you had really put it in a more direct way. "slave of the state" is pretty provocative language, but let me map out one way in whic

What authoritative ML expert had ever based their conclusions about consciousness, usefulness etc. on "well, I put that question into the LLM and it returned that it's just a tool"? All the worthwhile conclusions and speculat

Your comment has two separate messages that, despite not technically contradicting one another, don't really relate to each other in any way. 1. The current status quo has been the default that's been in place for 20-30 years now

Where are all those communists? As far as I can see, only one extreme of the political spectrum is viable in the first world, and that extreme is currently rapidly approaching its logical conclusion of completely crippling democracy. It&#x2

I'm not seeing how this article is clickbait of any kind. Betteridge's Law really only works for articles that manufacture a provocative question out of nowhere to attract readership, and then have to sheepishly back down in the a

Most people live in cities, but the vast majority of American cities do not approach even 10% of the quality and availability of transit in NYC. That's why I said that NYC is a massive outlier among the rest of the US.

Why not Reddit? Of course, it's far from a paragon of truth, and it's getting more manipulated and overtaken by bots by the minute, but adding "reddit" to my search queries (in search engines, that is) had always been my

NYC is the absolute best case in the US, if you're talking about the ability to exist without a car. It's not that no one talks about those millions of households, it's that they are all concentrated on a few standout islands

People who are "pushing an agenda" aren't arguing that there should be no cars ever, anywhere. Cars are the smallest-scale form of long-distance transport, they are unavoidable in low-density areas or for services that requir

The number of cars from 2003 is already dwindling and it's only going to keep going down. It's certainly much easier to find cars from the late 00s-early 10s right now if your only priority is not being tracked or bound to a web o

Is there such a thing as anti-rose-tinted glasses? I feel like this is an example of that. No one here is saying that Microsoft was good, which seems to underlie your insistence on Clippy being so horrible - they're saying that a mista
