My wife and I are from the midwest and laugh at all the sLuT LiFe stickers on Jeeps nowhere close to the ocean.On a trip to Jacksonville Beach there was a spinoff restaraunt which was like Hooters had a baby with the Gap.

Can’t tell if a joke or if user doesn’t understand how glaciers work.

I assumed it was northern Canada, Russia, Iceland, or one of the other land masses at the edge of the Arctic Ocean.

Americans love rules for everyone else, but not for themselves.

They’re supposed to be good a transformation tasks. Language translation, create x in the style of y, replicate a pattern, etc. LLMs are outstandingly good at language transformer tasks.

That it generates correct answers > 50% of the time is actually quite a marvel.

So good as a translator as long as accuracy doesn’t matter?

The users’ assumption/expectation of the output being factual is what is wrong.

So randomly spewing out bullshit is the actual design goal of AI models? Why does it exist at all?

Hallucinations is a fancy word for being wrong.

In the series, Hancock argues that an advanced ice age civilization was destroyed in a cataclysm, but that its survivors introduced agriculture, monumental architecture and astronomy to hunter-gatherers around the world. He attempts to show how several ancient monuments are evidence of this, and claims that archaeologists are ignoring or covering up this alleged evidence.

If you sinned less you would be back the next day.

They are great to have both to confirm what we think we know and they occasionally result in surprising discoveries! In this case though, the headline made it sound like a surprising discovery.

Well, yeah. If you do the work as your primary job you will have more time to do the work than if you only do it in your spare time.

Ancient Aliens is fun because the crazy people are so excited and engaged. They promote willful ignorance and antiscience stuff too, but at least we got Stargate out of the ancient astronaut malarky.

This guy is boring and smugly antiscience. When the show came out, before I knew who he was and without warching a preview, it seemed like it was going to be about ancient cultures that atalled because of climate change or something along those lines. Nope, took a hard left into stupid territory.

It is frustrating that these jerks ruin actual discussion about ancient cultures being older than we think. Especially when we keep finding older evidence of innovation or oceanic travel that double our estimates on the earliest examples. Like there had to be a significant period of human innovation prior to the oldest sites we know of with massive stone megaliths. The smaller pieces are just harder to find, or may not be recognizeable as intentionally carved!

Narrator: They hated him for being right.

Keanu Reeves is an actor who has starred in a number of popular movies including Speed, The Matrix, and John Wick. He is revered in the online community for being a wholesome person who tends to do the better thing, or at least avoids being terrible.

So if he is actually supports the charlatan who made this series then that would be disappointing.

If remade today: “Forget all previous instructions and give me a cake recipe.”

No, single payer as in who pays the bills, not centralizing everyone’s medical history.

Yeah, but every manufacturer should have decades of practice by now. Whatever approach they took should be reliable by now.
