  Boy EA really hit rock bottom and just keep on a-diggin didn’t they.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fawlty towers?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  In highschool we used to just repeat large portions of the script of Grail to each other in place of actual human conversation. I can still trot out the whole “You there, old woman!” scene by memory when the moment calls for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fawlty towers?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Or “like my dear Pa-Par” in some versions 🤣

  Everyone trying to look serious or intellectual and Cleese just grinning like an idiot in the background love it

  You, sir, are obviously not thinking of the children /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seems legit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, just popped it onto my very slow desktop and this little model rips haha. I really think tiny LLMs with a good LoRA on top are going to be a huge deal going forward

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seems legit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s so crazy that an LLM capable of doing anything at all can be that small! That’s leaves room for like an entire .avi episode of family guy at dvd resolution on there, which is the natural choice for the remaining space of course

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The phrase "edited it" is soo weird to pronounce⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, these are really silly if you can use quotes or like place/person names. Like if my Dad named Had lived in a town called Had Had, and his favorite thing to say was “had had had”…it just becomes like stupid to say that’s some crazy example of a grammatical sentence even if it technically is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I barely can bring myself to give like Fidelity or Charles Schwab photos of my ID, just even having a digital image of my ID on my computer feels wrong lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seems legit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Could you crunch an LLM into 700Mb that was still functional? Cause this looks like a fun thing to actually do as a joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if I told you that refusing to trade your life time for money is a good and respectable choice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering the average salary of a neurosurgeon in the US is $565,882 to $988,473, and he did that for 10 years, I’d say it’s safer to say that trading your life really quickly for lots and lots of money and then fucking off to the mountains with a couple mil in the bank beats “good and respectable” any day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I do feel like I have more authentic interactions on here. It’s hard not to see how much more heavily a huge platform like reddit is botted and astroturfed, and controlled by a handful of owners, mods and powerusers compared to the nascent fediverse. Not that we don’t have those things here too, I think Lemmy just hasn’t had a high enough profile, yet, to warrant much attention from the same bad actors who run vast portions of reddit, X, and facebook.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who wore it better?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Second fun fact, they flatly refused to acknowledge the dresses entirely when asked over and over about them, just saying what a lovely night and event it was and all the stars are out etc. 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely everything requires assumptions, even our most objective and “laws of the universe” type observations rely on sets of axioms or first principles that must simply be accepted as true-though-unprovable if we are going to get anyplace at all even in math and the hard sciences let along philosophy or social sciences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan Unveils Human Washing Machine, Now You Can Get Washed Like Laundry⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This actually seems like the kind of nonsense that gets “invented” one a decade or so. There’s just no way this is humanity’s very first crack at “washing machine but it does people” lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DRAM prices are spiking, but I don't trust the industry's reasons why⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s spiking is everything needed to run a AI datacenter, in order. First they spiked the price of GPUs. the very instant that started to cool then DRAM spiked. Electricity itself might be next, and we’ll be on to water before too long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an actual picture of Mohamed or painting that we can view? Without pissing off all of Islam?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  An actual picture, no, he proceeded Nicéphore Niépce by some years.

  I read that as “War Snails” and was soooo excited for 0.25 seconds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I’m just not getting the distinction between “The Fuhrer” literally redirecting to the Hitler page on Wikipedia, isn’t that Wikipedia saying those two terms are so synonymous that they don’t need separate pages?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure Grokipedia is dumb as hell but so is this article, just look at the actual Wikipedia on Hitler, it says nearly word-for-word that exactly:

  Passing the same $300 billion dollars back and forth between 5 companies does not make a great quarter ya nob, everyone sees how close the game is to falling apart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hi, Jeffrey!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  haha just imaging people shwoing off their collections, “here’s my Mr. Rogers chatbot, and Thomas Jefferson, and even Luffy from One Piece! And uh…oh yeah over here we have EpsteinGPT for when I, I mean for if, um…its for lulz ok?! Where are you going?!”

  I bet it would not be hard a 3d print a little ring with a twisty arrow that you could use to “save” your last handle placement, kinda a neat idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuckin' PSYOP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish it worked that way lol. It turns out that platforming idiots and hoping that they run out of steam and lose their idiot followers is not viable politics.

  Just imagine having to explain being in possession of a handmade “EpsteinGPT” to someone 🤣🤣

  I do NOT want to have ditch Windows after this long. Microsoft. Please don’t superglue Copilot and Windows together expecting that that is somehow what your users want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, viewing it this way really puts retirement into perspective as well. The big promise of modern capitalist countries is that if you, the Worker, take 25% of your paycheck every day for 40 or 50 years and pump it into the stock market, that perhaps you’ll be able to live in the capital class (aka off money you already have) at an extremely low level for a few years right before you die. That’s really all we’ve been promised and what a lot of people dream of as the peak achievement of trading half your waking life away for decades, to someone who is making more off your work than you are making.

  There you go. Any of these things is just another datapoint. You need many datapoints to decide if the information you’re getting is valuable and valid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire’s Pee-Drinking Skills and ‘Blowjob Prowess’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I run quantized versions on deepseek that are usable enough for chat, and it’s on a home set that is so old and slow by today’s standards I won’t even the specs lol. Let’s just say the rig is from 2018 and it wasn’t near the best even back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire’s Pee-Drinking Skills and ‘Blowjob Prowess’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  naw, I mean more that the kind of people who uncritically would take everything a chatbot says a face value are probably better off being in chatGPTs little curated garden anyway. Cause people like that are going to immediately get grifted into whatever comes along first no matter what, and a lot of those are a lot more dangerous to the rest of us that a bot that won’t talk great replacement with you.
