Problem is, AI companies think they could solve all the current problems with LLMs if they just had more data, so they buy or scrape it from everywhere they can.

That's why you hear every day about yet more and more social media companies penning deals with OpenAI. That, and greed, is why Reddit started charging out the ass for API access and killed off third-party apps, because those same APIs could also be used to easily scrape data for LLMs. Why give that data away for free when you can charge a premium for it? Forcing more users onto the official, ad-monetized apps was just a bonus.

These models are nothing more than glorified autocomplete algorithms parroting the responses to questions that already existed in their input.

They're completely incapable of critical thought or even basic reasoning. They only seem smart because people tend to ask the same stupid questions over and over.

If they receive an input that doesn't have a strong correlation to their training, they just output whatever bullshit comes close, whether it's true or not. Which makes them truly dangerous.

And I highly doubt that'll ever be fixed because the brainrotten corporate middle-manager types that insist on implementing this shit won't ever want their "state of the art AI chatbot" to answer a customer's question with "sorry, I don't know."

I can't wait for this stupid AI craze to eat its own tail.

So it's not an uniquely American problem after all. Fuckers everywhere want bigger and bigger cars.

Knowing Tom, he'd be too embarrassed to accept it.

You could contextualize the conversation by bringing up how you met and having a retrospective discussion about how and why it didn't work out romantically.

Maybe ask them if they've considered or are interested in seeing other people. This will let you gauge how they feel about it and the current state of your relationship, and also give you an opportunity to bring up how you feel.

Then, the conversation isn't just about you seeing other people but about what's best for the both of you.

What's the best place to find monsterfuckers to date? I'm not one but my ex was, and she was insatiable.

I wonder if all the NCOs are bitching because they have to get their guys to clean their guns twice as often now.

He's always been a troll. He says and does whatever he thinks it takes for people to pay attention to him. I doubt it goes any deeper than that.

the opposite of brittle

I think that would be "tough", which has a mathematical definition in materials science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toughness?wprov=sfla1

What's the point? It's not like the people who still put money into this scam are going to be turned off by yet more undelivered promises.

You don't have to delete your account unless you want to free up the name for someone else.

Making an account on another instance to try it won't hurt anything.
