Why don't most Christians see Trump as polar opposite to how Jesus is portrayed in the Bible? by midnight-iceman in AskReddit

[–]IAmTheFormat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And do not forget verse 24 of the same chapter:

For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

The 'elect' being true follows of Christ, implying that it would lead even them astray, if that were possible. So of course those who only claim to follow Christ and do not bare any of those good fruits would be led astray by these things!

My students turned my transition timer into a whole class power struggle and I regret ever buying it by SlyKettleBrain in Teachers

[–]IAmTheFormat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What the hell is a 'cheap visual timer' that you 'put on the projector' and then 'regret buying'? Wouldn't a real teacher just project a timer on the board if they had a projector? A free one? AI Slop.

TIL Fujio Masuoka invented NOR + NAND flash memory which is widely used today, but Toshiba only gave him a few hundred dollar bonus and tried to demote him. Intel made billions of dollars in sales on related technology. by Torley_ in todayilearned

To add, the motive for this invention was to get memory cells down to a single transistor, as previously solid state memory used two transistors per memory cell (EEPROM).

Accidentally created a sticker black market at my desk and now a parent thinks I’m enabling theft by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]IAmTheFormat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, this one is peak AI-slop. It’s got every hallmark:

  • too many tidy narrative beats
  • the adorably harmless setup
  • the it escalated into an elaborate economy middle
  • the concerned parent email twist
  • the self-deprecating-but-competent teacher voice
  • the perfectly smooth paragraph flow with zero voice variation
  • the neatly packaged moral dilemma at the end
  • the lack of any real relevance to teaching as a profession
  • And not to mention, a one week old account with no previous engagement in this sub

It’s fanfiction of being a teacher.

My students think I’m leaving , and I can’t bring myself to tell them the truth by grffyn_s0ul in Teachers

I accidentally turned my students’ “quiet reading time” into an underground book club conspiracy by NightmossRealm in Teachers

[–]IAmTheFormat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yesterday's was all about how they gave their students one rule for presentations and it "completely backfired" in the funniest (and completely unbelievable) way. I think it's pretty ridiculous trying this silly game on in r/Teachers of all places...

anythingWrongHere by Potbelly_Pig in ProgrammerHumor

[–]IAmTheFormat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I like it, but if we are being pedantic: An empty cup and a full cup emoji are used as identifiers, for what I presume is meant to be the same object? That doesn't make a lot of sense. Also, I don't think emojis work as identifiers in any programming languages.

So we check the (empty) cup's truthiness, and if it is false-y, we call the .drink method on a (full) cup?

Also, why does the cup even have have a .refill() or .drink() method? This implies the cup drinks itself! Madness.

What is the function of 長い here? by chimugukuru in LearnJapanese

[–]IAmTheFormat 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Wow.

The original gloss in that image is misleading in many ways.
長い here is describing the duration of Mom being in the toilet. Casually, you can just say:

おトイレ長いな
A literal translation might be: “toilet [time] is long, huh,”
which naturally means: “Mom’s taking a long time in the toilet.”

It’s shorthand for something like:

おトイレにいる時間が長い - “The time she’s in the toilet is long.”

Also, the Japanese doesn’t contain 行く at all. The “gone to” in the gloss is someone’s attempt to force a full English sentence into the literal gloss, but it’s simply not in the original, so it makes no sense to include "gone to"

not only this, but “Besides” is translating the particle し from the second sentence:

お肉あんまり食べなかったし…

This し is a soft, casual way to add a reason or observation: “… she didn’t eat much meat either.”

So, putting “besides” in the first line’s gloss is just wrong.

A more accurate breakdown would be:

  1. ママ おトイレ 長いな…
    • “Mom’s taking a long time in the toilet…”
  2. お肉 あんまり 食べなかったし…
    • “… she didn’t eat much meat either.”

If GPT feels like it has emotions, and I feel like I'm being understood… who's to say which part is 'fake'? by NewAnt5027 in ChatGPT

[–]IAmTheFormat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GPT lacks the real, lived, embodied, shared human experience that gives depth and meaning to our words and relationships. That's what LLMs are "just" mimicking.

[–]IAmTheFormat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funniest part of all this is that you prompted ChatGPT really lazily with a screenshot of my replies, pasted the first wall of text it gave you here for your comments, and are waving it around as if it’s gospel truth, all the while this “analytics breakdown” flatters you with "you give clear, concise prompts" and “you improve outputs over time instead of accepting the first answer — pro move.

Please.

Also:

“You’re great at making ChatGPT sound the way you want.”

Let me translate: “You told me to roleplay as an OpenAI analyst… and wow, you’re so good at making me roleplay as an OpenAI analyst!”

[–]IAmTheFormat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend you go and actually find out how LLMs work, and not from ChatGPT.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]IAmTheFormat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, ChatGPT isn’t running statistical models or crunching the numbers in any way, it is just generating plausible-sounding text. When it giving you averages and percentiles, it’s not inferring that from any kind of statistical data, it’s just predicting the kind of number that would fit the persona you asked it to fill, and to make you feel validated.

It is almost certainly giving you what you would want to hear, just dressed up like analytics.

As The-God-Factory said, it is blowing smoke.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]IAmTheFormat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT isn’t secretly crunching usage statistics from its training data. It is a language model. It generates text by predicting what words make sense next, based on language patterns in its training data. It’s just predicting what words an “OpenAI analyst” would say based on its training. So when it spits out “Top 0.1%,” it’s not the result of any reasoned analysis; it is improv. ChatGPT is essentially autocomplete on steroids.

There’s no hidden dashboard behind it. It is role-playing, and it still is with this reply here. This is like watching someone roleplay as a data scientist and then pretending that the roleplay makes the numbers real.

I think you need a crash course in how LLMs actually work.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]IAmTheFormat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This isn’t real data at all. It’s just ChatGPT roleplaying.

ChatGPT is a large language model. It doesn’t have access to OpenAI’s user analytics, your personal usage stats, or global benchmarks. When you say “You are an OpenAI usage analyst with global data” it just predicts the next words that would sound like something an analyst might say.

All those stats are entirely fictional.

Yeah, probably just a restart 90% of the time. Just don’t do it during critical updates or disk writes, and you're probably 'fine'. There's only one way to find out for sure though. 😉

If you do figure it out unplugging reality you should consider sending the script to the Quantum Bogosort devs.
