This.
It’s low key embarassing that a whole meme can spring up based on not knowing that other places have different hygeine.

I still have a few folders of music from Napster.

Somewhere in my files I still have the recording of a hoarse male voice singing along to Ricky Martin’s “Bailamos”, purportedly recorded from Martin’s mic by a sound tech when he was lip synching live on stage.
Probably fake but I want to believe.

My thoughts exactly.

It has always been this way. When you get old, 15 year olds and 19 year olds start to all look the same.
Similarly, to teenagers a 40 year old and a 60 year old look the same. Old.

Tom from Myspace never treated us like this.

If you use the wrong past tense all the time, that will definitely make you sound like a hillbilly.

Thanks!

Compelling argument.

Me too. It’s the one word that triggers something in my brain.

Oxford spelling, Oxford comma: what’s not to like?
Anything with a United Nations style spellcheck will sort it for you.
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 1 month ago:
Depends on the tense.
I burn the toast.
I have burned the toast
I burrnt the toast
I had burnt the toast
Using burned in all of them sounds like a hillbilly.

Do you by any chance know where I could read a good introduction to Canadian English?
I can write fluently in UK and US English but Canadian sometimes has me stumped.

Same what a feel bad meme.

I don’t think it ever went out of fashion unfortunately.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 1 month ago:
It’s 2025, the teenagers mostly document their lives on social media. Tent life guy from Gaza got killed but there are others.
When this empire falls and the genocide history is able to be taught then yes I think some of these video records will be studied by children around the world.

Perhaps you missed the headlines when the ICC called out Facebook for actively, deliberately obstructing the ICC genocide investigation into the Rohingya genocide.

I would prefer to send all of them to dig graves for the victims of various genocides and conflicts.

- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 month ago:
I have already suggested it. Trolley problems etc. Ask it to tell you its reasoning. It always becomes preposterous sooner or later.
My point here is that remembering the correct answer or performing a mathematical calculation are not a measure of understanding.
What we are looking for that sets apart INTELLIGENCE is an ability to genuinely understand. LLMs don’t have that, any more than older autocorrects did.
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 1 month ago:
More like 2 and half fives.
That would be an indeterminate number that starts at 7 and goes up by 2.5 increments depending on how many half fives there are (since in this version it’s not specified).
7, 9.5, 12, 14.5…
I love this. I thought English had some crazy aspects but this is next level.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 month ago:
LLMs are an autocorrect.
Let’s use a standard definition like “intelligence is the ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.”
It can acquire (learn) and use (access, output) data but it lacks the ability to understand it.
This is why we have AI telling people to use glue on pizza or drink bleach.
I suggest you sit down with an AI some time and put a few versions of the Trolley Problem to it. You will likely see what is missing.

I think you might know some really stupid or perhaps just uneducated people. I would expect 100% of people to know how many Rs there are in strawberry.
Nevertheless, spelling is memory and memory is not intelligence.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 month ago:
Memory isn’t intelligence.
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 1 month ago:
That only makes it worse.
Two and a half fives = 12.

How is the US military taking this?
President Imaginary Bone Spurs so eager to be racist that he’s openly disrespecting war heroes. Pretty interesting conflict of ideology.

Thank you. I did not realize their processed cheese was even worse than Kraft.
