    Aside from the CP, that is how it was back in the day and how it should be. And no it wasn’t all spam. It’s just that the spam was obvious. Today though the spam is the Internet. Go look at marvel or any sub Reddit, the product are the people, the spam is the site itself being sold to companies. We need freedom to post unsavory things so that these companies no longer want to risk selling their product between videos of jelly arms and someone training their dog to do Nazi salutes. We need to post that stuff in protest to get back to what we were


  • Oh shit I’ll check that out. Might be what I’m looking for. I’m so tired of modern digital spaces. Reddit really opened my eyes to what it all eventually becomes. It’s all about clearing the space for political ads, marketing and manipulations instead of by regular people for regular people. And it’s all clear cut by moderators who think they’re doing a good job.




  • Holy shit, I actually totally agree on this. Like I’ve thought about this often and come to the same conclusion. It should be something where people can view what is being removed if they wish.

    One of my biggest concerns with moderation is that moderator teams eventually attract people trying to conceal things and reducing what the spirit of the internet originally stood for.

    Like having a company try to erase any bad stories about it’s products by controlling all the spaces we could talk about that product.

    But if we can all still choose to see what is removed it gives us a big window into what moderation teams are manipulating things and which are honest teams.






  • This is crazy. I’ve literally been saying they are fallible. You’re saying your professional fed and LLM some type of dataset. So I can’t really say what it was you’re trying to accomplish but I’m just arguing that trying to have it process data is not what they’re trained to do. LLM are incredible tools and I’m tired of trying to act like they’re not because people keep using them for things they’re not built to do. It’s not a fire and forget thing. It does need to be supervised and verified. It’s not exactly an answer machine. But it’s so good at parsing text and documents, summarizing, formatting and acting like a search engine that you can communicate with rather than trying to grok some arcane sentence. Its power is in language applications.

    It is so much fun to just play around with and figure out where it can help. I’m constantly doing things on my computer it’s great for instructions. Especially if I get a problem that’s kind of unique and needs a big of discussion to solve.





  • What does “I give it data to put in a formulaic sentence.” mean here

    Why not just share the details. I often find a lot of people saying it’s doing crazy things and never like to share the details. It’s very similar to discussing things with Trump supporters who do the same shit when pressed on details about stuff they say occurs. Like the same “you’re a troll for asking for evidence of my claim” that trumpets do. It’s wild how similar it is.

    And yes asking to do things like iterate over rows isn’t how it works. It’s getting better but that’s not what it’s primarily used for. It could be but isn’t. It only catches so many tokens. It’s getting better and has some persistence but it’s nowhere near what its strength is.


  • I love when it’s clearly something like a Marvel or Disney PR team running a place and it turns into the most nail on chalk board grating questions like “if you had to wear a super Heroes costume to prom which one would it be” and all the top comments are bots talking about the costumes from the latest movie coming out.

    Like what the fuck happened to the Internet. I just get so sad thinking how kids are growing up with this nonsense but to them it’s totally normal and I’m 10 years it’ll get worse and they’ll hate it but that level of how bad it’ll get will just continue to snowball.

    We had something. Nobody will ever understand what it was we had



  • There’s a sleep button on my laptop. Doesn’t mean I would use it.

    I’m just trying to say you’re saying the feature that everyone kind of knows doesn’t work. Chatgpt is not trained to do calculations well.

    I just like technology and I think and fully believe the left hatred of it is not logical. I believe it stems from a lot of media be and headlines. Why there’s this push From media is a question I would like to know more. But overall, I see a lot of the same makers of bullshit yellow journalism for this stuff on the left as I do for similar bullshit on the right wing spaces towards other things.


  • Why are you giving it data. It’s a chat and language tool. It’s not data based. You need something trained to work for that specific use. I think Wolfram Alpha has better tools for that.

    I wouldn’t trust it to calculate how many patio stones I need to build a project. But I trust it to tell me where a good source is on a topic or if a quote was said by who ever or if I need to remember something but I only have vague pieces like old timey historical witch burning related factoid about villagers who pulled people through a hole in the church wall or what was a the princess who was skeptic and sent her scientist to villages to try to calm superstitious panic .

    Other uses are like digging around my computer and seeing what processes do what. How concepts work regarding the think I’m currently learning. So many excellent users. But I fucking wouldn’t trust it to do any kind of calculation.
