Foolishly, I clicked through thinking "wow, did they get an LLM to interpret their dog's barks and body language? That's actually pretty cool!" Look, I'm an LLM skeptic, but if they'd done that, I would have to praise the result.

But no.

They just told the LLM to try and find meaning in keysmashes.


No one said the Democrats are pro-freedom. Both parties are authoritarian. One is just less effective.

If telling something else to make something for you is a craft, I'm an artisan for hiring a webdev to build my site.

Reading is fundamental

It's not "privileged BY using bad grammar", it's "privilege TO use bad grammar". But yes, we know, the privilege boogeymen kicked your dog and made you take a CRT class.

In one ear and out the other, huh? Do you think deliberately misunderstanding words makes you clever? Are you sticking it to those got-dang SJWs?

Hearing privilege is a real thing!

So many comments going "Well MY llm of choice gives the right answer". Sure, I believe you -- LLM output has LONG been known to vary from person to person, from machine to machine, depending on how you have it set up, and sometimes based on nothing at all.

That's part of the problem, though, isn't it?

If it consistently gave the right answer, well, that would be great! And if it consistently gave the wrong answer, that wouldn't be GREAT, but at least the engineers would know how to fix it. But sometimes it says one thing, sometimes it says another. We've known this for a long time. It keeps happening! But as long as your own personal chatbot gives the correct answer to this particular question, you can cover your eyes and pretend the planet-burning stochastic parrot is perfectly fine to use.

The comparison in one thread to the "How would you feel if you had not eaten breakfast yesterday?" question was a particularly interesting one, but I can't get past the fact that the Know Your Meme page that was linked (which included a VERY classy George Floyd meme, what the actual fuck) discussed those answers as if they were a result of fundamental differences in human intelligence rather than the predictable result of a declining education system. This is something that's only going to get worse if we keep outsourcing our brains to machines.


Another truly baffling entry in the "I want my AI to have fun for me" column.

Good luck with the grift.

That’s fair skepticism. It’s not meant as an investment or financial product, more an experiment around digital permanence and whether a simple, long-lived registry can acquire meaning over time if it remains consistent and scarce.

A lot of people don't drink alcohol.


Also, in a lot of states you don't get IDed for alcohol after about age 35.


It's a sad reminder that I look as old as I am.


No, really? I am SHOCKED.


That could probably be one failure mode.


If everyone followed the law we would never have revolutions, and Europe and America would still have slaves.


Then he should be prepared to spend the rest of his life in jail.


This is such an insane sentence I genuinely don't know if it's supposed to be demoralizing bait or you genuinely just said this


Thanks for telling us you would not be prepared to fight for freedom. Everyone should be so forthright.


Who says he isn't? What is your point?
