Oh yeah I didn’t even consider “gare - adge” vs “gar - ahj” or however the heck you would try and spell the difference in the way it’s pronounced. Every time I think about it, I’m so grateful that I don’t have to try and learn English as an adult…

Well the good news is banks really don’t give a shit and they make it pretty trivial to get yourself hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt whether you have a degree or not.

This is the same guy behind both songs though right?

When a computer can just toss all your shit in a blender and spit it back out, and it satisfies fans of your genre to this extent, then frankly this is a badly needed wake up call to country music.

I like the analogy, I have a lot of trouble explaining to people that LLMs are anything more than just a “most likely next token” predictor. Because that is exactly what an LLM is, but saying it that way is so abstract that it abstracts away everything that is actually interesting about them lol. It’s like saying a computer is “just” a collection of switches than can be a 1 or 0. Which, yeah, base level, not wrong, but also not all that useful to someone actually curious about what they are and what they can do.

Yeah, that’s how we’d say it when actually gaming. “Total ownage” man was that fun to yell at your friends while the four of you clustered around a CRT playing Halo on a 4-way split screen and one controller was always the garbage one and mountain dew affected you like cocaine…

oh don’t you dare start that shit we’ll be here all day

What a mess of a word now that I look at it. Two Gs pronounced differently, an “E” at the end that does not effect the second “A” (as in Rag vs. Rage). Like imagine trying to pronounce that word if you’ve never seen it, or spell it if you’d only heard it

I’m def saying “pooned” from now on. I’m going to tell people it originated from Moby Dick and is short for “harpooned” 🤣🤣 Get 'Pooned ye Noob Whale!

I agree, although looks like you and I stand pretty much alone in this among all these “hack-zors” lol

When you’re training things on what is pretty close to the entire existing corpus of human knowledge, those things are gonna turn out similar at their roots no matter what, is my feeling.

Click on the first search result: “Thanks for visiting our page, try our new AI chatbot to help you make the best restaurant choices!” 🤣

yes, and it will be very interesting to hear if the “humans see stuff and then make stuff based on the stuff they see all the time, so therefore no one can sue an AI company for profiting off this soup we’ve made out of all the IP on earth” defense holds up for them…

Just forget for a second that this has anything to do with AI specifically: I wonder how it could possibly fall under fair use to grind up hundreds of thousands of pieces of copyrighted content, and then use that data to create software that you then profit from.

The question, as I see it, is if simply mashing all this intellectual property together – and deriving a series of weights for an AI model from that – somehow makes it not theft simply because all the content is smashed into one big pile of pink goo in which no single piece of content is recognizable.

If his legacy is securing some kind of AI rights for artists I’d prefer that honestly. That book is at this point the Star Citizen of books. Even if it ever somehow comes out, the insane amount of time and hype surrounding it absolutely guarantee disappointment.

Unless they’ve managed their entire life to avoid any person or piece of media cluing them in that (some) deaf people have a distinctive accent, then the answer to that would pretty obviously be yes.

Oh yeah, lol, thanks!

Its a stock that’s heavily played by traders, it moves just as much if not more based on the technicals than the fundamentals. Also, look up the wonderful financial term “dead dog bounce”.

Yeah, that was my first thought when I read this too. There were plenty of people for whom the internet in general, or later social media, was too complex for them to bother with. I think each generation of technology leaves behind a certain % of people who are past the point of being willing or able to learn how to use something new, and that isn’t really a bad thing.

Yes, you have to have some notion of what “federated” means and how it works to make full use of federated sites. But it’s just asking people to learn a little bit about a couple new terms, and spending a few minutes outside of their comfort zone while they orient to a new environment, just like when the internet itself or social media started. And I think we obviate the entire point of building something new by trying to make it completely familiar and friction-less for people. If that was the best way to build community, then the internet would just be the phone book and social media would just be the personals section of a newspaper.
