- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 6 days ago:
The default setting in a horse’s mind is to not allow anything on its back. They will bite and kick you if you try. However, there is a clever way to change that setting, as ancient humans had discovered.
Horses are different from many other animals, such as zebras. Horses are clearly more malleable. That default setting can be changed if you’re skilled and patient enough. With zebras though, the setting to bite and kick is pretty much hard coded.
Some animals, such as camels and llamas can also be tamed and even ridden, but they will always know their position in the tier list of life i.e. way above all humans. They will tolerate humans up to a certain point, but once their patience runs out, the unfortunate human in their immediate vicinity will feel it in their skin. These animals are a bit like cats, but 10x more dangerous.

Turns out, there are people who practice that sort of extreme fasting. BTW going back to normal eating doesn’t happen in a day.

Movie critics have a pretty good idea what sloppy writing and contrived coincidences look like. That’s exactly what I was asking about, and the first few points did address that reasonably well.

Risky click of the day. Was totally worth it though.

With popular movies, there’s no shortage of critical blog posts and other material. All of those are obviously already in the training material. However, anything that didn’t make a gazillion dollars probably isn’t that well documented, so the model might not have much to say write about it. It will just fill those gaps with random word salad that makes sense as long as you have enough cocaine in your nostrils.
If I had asked about Casablanca, Psycho, Titanic or Avengers, the answer would have probably been a bit less crappy.

Wow! That’s pretty intense.
9/10, would recommend.

Just had a discussion with an LLM about the plot of a particular movie, particularly the parts where the plot falls short. I asked it to list all the parts that feel contrived.
It gave me 7 points that were ok, but the 8th one was 100% hallucinated. That event is not in this movie at all. It totally missed the 5 completely obivous contrived screw-ups in the ending of the movie too, so I was not very convinced of this plot analysis.

It used to be funny when someone wrote a two sentence long “search query” on google. Nowadays, you can literally do that on any LLM and you’ll get a summary based on a few results. There are a whole bunch of problems with that, but I’ll just let the people from !fuck_ai@lemmy.world to elaborate.

Spice that up with human meat and you get next level scifi horror. Basically a hybrid abomination of ethnic cleansing + genocide + war crimes + capitalism + meat industry. Basically everything you hate about the modern world squeezed into a single package.

Oh that’s just a logical clean way to do it. I was thinking about something far worse. You know, like modern chicken industry, but made out of nightmares.

“One taco, no chicken, no ice.”
That’s going to be a pretty interesting order to hear.

There’s a prompt for a horror scifi book. Just imagine what it takes to produce that meat, where do you get it from, who get to become food and all that. This opens some very dark and truly dystopian possibilities. If you thought cyberpunk was awful, that was just a warm up lap. We’re just getting started here.

Does the same apply to tacos as well? 🌮

- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 1 week ago:
I think gender stereotypes don’t serve us well. They set unrealistic expectations, which results in anxiety and sadness if you don’t meet them.
Men and women have so much in common, even though specific attributes are commonly attributed to one gender. For example, being gentle or rugged are human traits, and they aren’t exclusive to just one gender. Sure, men tend to be more rugged, but men also have a gentle side. Being gentle isn’t feminine IMO. It’s very human to be sensitive or emotional at times.
Stereotypes may give you an idea of general tendencies of behaviour, but they aren’t exclusive. Even though most women usually aren’t rugged or tough, it doesn’t mean women can’t have those qualities. They absolutely do. Culture is making people hide the human traits that don’t fit a specific stereotype.
- Comment on Is OpenAI dead yet? 1 week ago:
Well, that’s the public-facing side of the story. Lending GPUs to AI startups seems like a pretty risky strategy. If NVIDIA is lending out a lot of hardware, while AMD isn’t, that puts these companies in very different positions.

Cancer of the modern world…
- Comment on Is OpenAI dead yet? 1 week ago:
Maybe AMD is betting on NVIDIA suffering more from the oncoming crash. If that happens, AMD could increase their market share.
- Comment on Is OpenAI dead yet? 1 week ago:
That’s a very interesting deep dive. Didn’t mind this wall of text at all.
Is AMD also involved in the same shenanigans? Sounds like the AI bubble pop could also mess up the GPU market.

Ok, so silksong was about 6 years in development. Maybe a bit overdue, but not too bad.

I’m out of the loop. Did it take longer than it took for Cyberpunk 2077 to reach v 2.0? The v 1.0 doesn’t count because that should have been labeled “broken alpha early access”.
