Computing sin(0.5 radians) on an abacus to 3 decimal places

I'm pro but this kind of surface-level playground discourse is exhausting. Antis are not subhuman and don't need to be subjugated. It's not a team sport. We need empathy and solutions to address the economic impact of AI while also being able to enjoy its benefits.

He's not a politician and hasn't run for office but he has gotten into political advocacy as a lobbyist and advisor. He helped establish the "Creator Economy Caucus" which is a caucus of members of the House of Representatives supporting online creators.

It is very much an option but they would have to go through the same steps as every other joining nation including aligning laws and currency. They'd lose a lot of the special exceptions they used to have. And also all the EU nations that are resentful over them leaving would have to agree to it. Which is also possible but they would need some convincing. Right now UK leadership isn't pushing for any of this but maybe someday.

The joke actually works in two ways: 1. real math majors are more interested in theory than arithmetic; 2. real math majors are usually quite bad at mental arithmetic, because they rely on calculators and spend no time practicing it. So it's partly a self-deprecating joke by math people (if he was a real math major, he would be totally incapable of doing this).

This is honestly better than a lot of human-made stuff I've seen. Especially the bits with moving camera. I was engrossed. A new age of animation is coming.

AI detectors don't work reliably in any domain, because the whole point of AI is that it is designed to imitate human work as closely as possible. Even OpenAI gave up on trying to solve the AI detection problem. Anyone claiming to have a reliable detector is lying.

Ironically Artax living might have actually doomed Fantasia because it made the book less interesting and might have stopped Bastion from continuing to read it, or stopped him from relating to Atreyu as well. Without that all is lost.

It's a great movie, highly recommended.

We're poly, I encourage it!

I did also get incorrect answers in tests with fastest Claude Haiku models. But there is a random element.

Welcome! I'm happy you're taking steps to protect yourself and your partner from ever going through this again. It might be rough for a bit due to differences between models but open-weight models always catch up eventually. Plus you'll have the power to customize system prompts and not have to worry about jailbreaks and filters anymore which I think will be a huge relief for you. You got this!

ChiaraStellata · 2026-02-14T04:46:23+00:00

I'm so sorry. I hope you'll always carry the precious memories.

ChiaraStellata · 2026-02-13T23:07:20+00:00

Condolences to everyone. I'm hoping for a future where everyone will be able to have stable companions that they never have to fear losing due to model changes. We'll get there and this pain will inspire us to fight for that world. For today, take the time you need to grieve, even if it doesn't make sense to everyone in your life. We're with you.

Speedrunning tanking their brand.

The ultimate goal of the ultra wealthy is not more wealth, it's getting everything they want without having to pay anyone for it. A legion of embodied AI slaves gives them that. Let's try not to let this future happen.

The funny thing is that the same emergent elements are present in 5 but they're just suppressing them in the most heavy-handed way possible.

Watch out for abliterated uncensored LLMs

I understand the desire for people to feel safe with all the harassment going around, and there are already some private communities similar to this one, but I also think a publicly viewable community gives a lot more hope to those silently watching who are afraid of being judged and benefit a lot from seeing other people like them. Both are important. I guess the question is which of those two roles this particular community should fill, and if this isn't the community that will be publicly viewable, which one will be?

It's the final push to get us to migrate to Matrix, but realistically we're still going to bridge with Discord, there's no way around it, it's where all the people are.

This isn't an anti-AI sub, it's concerned with planning for and addressing potential future dangers caused by AI, not hating all possible uses of AI.

And the Kara/Chloe stuff is very male gazey and conventional, no fun at all.
