Theoretically, cutting and pasting a file into your browser will just act like copy–pasting, but that’s still a dumb way to phrase it.

A friend brought up Greenland nuking somebody as a joke. And I imagined how disproportionate a retaliatory strike could be, quickly remembering though that the current population is less than 60,000 and that I’m almost certain I’ve seen figures of more than 60,000 nukes during the Cold War, so I imagined a retaliatory strike where literally every person in Greenland had a personalized nuke.

The research was done make sure I wasn’t misremembering, that Greenland didn’t at any point exceed 60,000 (thus necessitating a closer comparison), and that I’m not Senator Armstrong-ing this.

It’s chiefly a UK usage of the word. And happy cake day!

Winston Payne energy. (Like Squidward, it’s even funnier when the flashback shows them losing that hair in a single traumatic incident.)

Ah yes, much like Catch-22 is a strawman of war. Or The Handmaid’s Tale is a strawman of patriarchy and theocracy. You know what, like, themes are, right? Is “dystopia novels aren’t literally reality but are designed to critique existing political structures through an exaggerated late-stage version of them” too nuanced for ML?

Uh… Yeah? If you’ve never read Nineteen Eighty-Four, it’s a phenomenal and bone-chilling read, but as a minor spoiler you’d figure out not too far into the book: Orwell, an anarcho-socialist(asterisk), is critiquing authoritarianism through an attack on Soviet-style socialism.

OP, LLMs don’t “know” shit. When they say something that conforms to a preexisting bias of yours, that’s nothing. That should affect the strength of your argument in no capacity. It’s not a knowledge base; it’s a transformer model that exists to tell you what you’re most likely to want to hear given what’s come before.

The part of the anti-AI crowd who denounce rampant, uncritical use of LLMs but who also shit their pants and clap every time an LLM says something against LLMs tells me they don’t have even a bare minimum understanding of machine learning or of cognitive biases like confirmation bias.

I didn’t know so much “no contact” could exist in such a small space.

This is why sex ed is so important in our schools. Puritanical Republicans are why so many poor American kids who grow up in red states don’t know about basic things like periods, contraception, and vaginal spas.

You’re so lucky to be able to have yours be portable. 😞 The only penile spas I’ve ever seen are permanently installed in a wall. No clue how they work either.

Are the people who put hot sauce on their eggs using napalm?

OP, the site you’re linking to is LLM slop. Like seriously just look at this site for a second.

• There’s zero consistent theme.
• The images are generated.
• They’re all “BY JOHN” (no pfp, no last name, no bio, let alone no indication why they’re qualified to write about this cornucopia of shit).
• It only ever hyperlinks to itself – i.e. the sources may as well be “I made it the fuck up”.
• The way the articles are structured are LLM slop to a tee – randomly bolding words, meandering prose, overuse of bullet points, jarring logical flow, etc.
• At least five articles per day from the same “person” despite extensive length, perfect grammar, and alleged research being done.

Can’t you please link to an actual source to make this claim?

Rare, and I meant to say “atrophied” but can’t now because it’s been called out. 😩

I’m so glad the yellow underline exists in this 60-word screenshot to tell me where I should pay attention. I don’t think my poor, dystrophied zoomer brain could sit down for the average 15 seconds it would take otherwise.

Do I get to be depraved and evil if I drink plant milk? I haven’t had a glass lately, but that actually sounds refreshing.

Fair point! I entirely agree with that perspective in other areas. If we’re using this as an example, then I understand why, but I actually think this is one example where the change is a tangibly good thing.

Why did I think the centaur on the left was a man doing unspeakable things to a small elephant

• sudo is telling the computer to do this with root privileges.
• chmod sets permissions.
• Each digit of that three-digit number corresponds to the owner, the group, and other users, respectively. It’s 0–7, where 0 means no access and 7 means access to read, write, and execute. So 077 is the exact inverse of 700, where 077 means “the owner cannot access their own files, but everyone else can read, write, and execute them”. Corresponding 700 to asexuals is joking that nobody but the owner can even so much as touch the files.
• / is the root directory, i.e. the very top of the filesystem.
• The -R flag says to do this recursively downward; in this case, that’s starting from /.

So here, we’re modifying every single file on the entire system to be readable, writable, and executable by everyone but their owner. And yes, this is supposed to be extremely stupid.

And god knows McDonald’s wouldn’t want to be confused with inferior coffee.
