someone should point out to them that a vpn is the technological equivalent of the burqa.

either ban both, or allow both.

while you may be right, one would think that the problem lies in the overestimated peception of the abilities of llms leading to misplaced investor confidence – which in turn leads to a bubble ready to burst.

… bunch of douchebag techbros thinking it’s going to solve all the world’s problems with no side effects…

one doesn’t imagine any of them even remotely thinks a technological panacaea is feasible.

… while they get super rich off it.

because they’re only focusing on this.

oh no, linekar is leaving motd? first wrighty, now him?

i don’t think shearer and micah can pull it off themselves going forward. they’re both good but, let’s face it, neither has the gravitas needed to anchor the show.

i’m not clicking on a reddit link so this assertion may be wrong, but i don’t think the case in the OP has anything to do with trump?

big talk from someone with McSwag in their username!

makes sense. after all, the united kingdom + a lot of rain + an affinity for Ecstasy = UK-Rain-E.

but, hey, we have this super-mega toy that can hallucinate an answer to your esoteric questions for that price!

that’s got to be a bargain, yes?

it’s possible to make tonnes of mistakes, lose, and still claim you didn’t make any mistakes.

that’s not fodder for a pithy quote. that’s denial.

it was smaller than Lemmy is now when I first started using it.

so now we know whom to blame for its enshittification

yep, it wasn’t just a plain tiff.

double-negatives in the headline means a positive article.

i have one of those spongy yellow smiley balls to whom i vent. it just grins away and doesn’t react otherwise. that leaves me relieved and calm to move on.

as an aside, it’s also a helpful sounding board when i try and explain a problem. i should really give it the name “but why not?”

the people who sell them do not know how accurate the term “stress ball” is for the product.

…1/1.56", 65mm…

i mean, just report the lens bore diameter in the same metric units as the focal length already.

In general, the report found that the AI summaries showed “a limited ability to analyze and summarize complex content requiring a deep understanding of context, subtle nuances, or implicit meaning.” Even worse, the Llama summaries often “generated text that was grammatically correct, but on occasion factually inaccurate,”

how is this being accepted? one would have to go through any output with a fine-toothed comb anyway to weed out ai hallucinations, as well as to preserve nuance and context.

it’s like the ai tells you that mona lisa has three eyes and a nose and her mouth is closed but her denim jacket is open. you’re going to report that in your story without ever looking at the painting?

in many ways, yes evidently. but there’s something additional at the end of this story which transcends those legends.

but thanks for the link. live and learn!

High Citadel was the first of his books that i read and i was hooked immediately. from the crash landing to the riverside standoff to the trek across the andes to the ultimate jet dogfight - it’s just one rollercoaster dip after another.

and the guerrilla tactics were something else altogether. especially the building of the crossbows and the trebuchet as well as the crash caused by the cable spool.

i’d still place Vivero Letter, Snow Tiger, and a couple of others above it but it’s miles ahead of Juggernaut, Wyatt’s Hurricane, and the weird one about some inheritance.

i can’t recommend the novel “The Vivero Letter” by Desmond Bagley enough when it comes to the subject of lost mayan cities.

as with his other novels, the research that he showcases in his narrative is nothing short of impressive – especially considering that he was active at a time without the internet.

it’s definitely one of his better books.

wait till you hear about white and black boards.
