  • This person is real and legitimately mentally unwell. I found them like seven months ago on Twitter when I used to use it. They would post like all day and talk constantly about how they are the new Jesus, that they love incest, and how elon musk is evil and trump is a god genius.

    If I remember right I’m pretty sure they also commented about not taking their meds anymore and said something about being schizophrenic.

    Edit: found one more snip and probably the most concerning one



  • The difference between SPF 60 and 100 is like 1.1% better UV blocking, anything over SPF 50 is in a practical sense nearly useless.

    For instance SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays, is it worth paying more and slathering more potentially harmful (to the environment) compounds on your skin for 98% blocking? I think not.



  • given a particular prompt/keyword, which might reproduce the original training data almost in it’s entirety given similar set of prompt or set of keywords.

    What you describe here is called memorization and is generally considered a flaw/bug and not a feature, this happens with low quality training data or not enough data. As far as I understand this isn’t a problem on frointer llms with the large datasets they’ve been trained on.

    Eitherway, just like a photocopier an llm can be used to infringe copyright if that’s what someone is trying to do with it, the tool itself does not infringe anything.



  • But it’s not the same, you don’t understand how LLM training works. The original piece of work is not retained at all, the training data is used to tune pre existing numbers, those numbers change slightly as training goes on.

    At no point in time is anything resembling the training data ever present in the 1’s and 0’s of the model.

    You are wrong, bring on the downvotes uninformed haters.

    FYI I also agree sampling music should be fine for artists






  • Well this is partially true. I’m pretty sure even a cat on a perfect diet will still have very high chances of developing chronic kidney disease in old age because it is just common in cats.

    Could be wrong but my understanding is that It’s partially because their kidneys are so efficient that they often get kidney disease in late age. They’re always under a super high workload.


  • As others have pointed out, this is a Starbucks, but take a look at this photo I took a couple months ago. It was a line for an In-N-Out burger that was not even new, but it was the longest drive-through line I’ve ever seen. It was like ~500 feet long and split off into four separate lanes that all filtered into two main lanes that they actually took your order at. I was across the street getting Chipotle and I spent about 15 minutes inside watching this line and all of these cars only move forward by about one car length. I guesstimate that these people are gonna be waiting in line for two plus hours and that fucking blows my mind.

    And the fuckers were spilling into the main road blocking traffic.
