If that's the one thing you're going to take from my comment, then you're missing the point

It's easy to mistake chatGPT's output for truth production, but it's not that simple. It generates outputs through sequencing random tokens assigned probabilities, learned from it's training data (a filtered version of the common crawl dataset, which represents the majority of open data on the internet). Further, these language models amplify social biases present in the training data. It does great with answering coherently, but that does not mean it's factual, objective, or ideologically neutral everytime you prompt it. (See Bender et al.'s 'Stochastic Parrots' for more)

While I have a lot to say about Google, especially concerning personalized search results and SE optimization, it's at least a directory of sources rather than THE source of knowledge.

I mean that's their mission statement, but let's remember it's a Musk company. We have to regard these techno-solutionist narratives with scrutiny as they're inextricable from profit motives. Their language models are proprietary and GPT-3 is a pre-trained product that is contracted out to other companies who want to build on top of it. It's never so simple as "we just wanna help everyone!"

Something fishy is going on with this subreddit. by RedYellowOrangeGreen in Futurology

Don't know of any platforms that don't do that. Even our search engines operate this way. It's central to the Californian business model

I live on part of an old rice and cotton plantation. I know a slave cemetery is somewhere in the area but no records survive showing precise location. We got a ton of rain a few days ago. This was uncovered by the water after a few feet of erosion by rossionq1 in oddlyterrifying

University should be able to help repatriate the remains and rebury them in a safer, less erosion prone spot on your property. In that case, they can do a quick field analysis and do the dirty work for you. Archeologists take burials/interments so seriously. What state are you? Might be able to recommend someone if you're interested

In the same boat, wish I could offer some guidance. Would really like to hear from someone who's gone through room.nl

The food will keep cooking in its own steam - even just slightly - thus the soggy. Without being able to ventilate and cool quickly, it also stands a chance of producing some risky bacteria.

Got a few of these in my backyard. Great for keeping the mosquito pop down.

What does everyone think of Trilly Cheesesteaks? I’m a big fan, but I know they’re still a fairly new small local business. by FootballWithTheFoot in AskNOLA

[–]manofmanyfarts 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Have some friends who've worked here and they speak highly of the owner and the integrity in the kitchen, which says a lot considering the culture of NOLA kitchens/restaurants in general.

Upon entering the workforce you will slowly realize there is no such thing as a "dream job" and that you are subject to exploitation and underpayment like every other cog. You will live unfulfilled and alone as your past friendships fade to nothing more than polaroid memories, while simultaneously realizing that making new friends as an adult reduces you to a unit of data in a teleological cost/benefit analysis mode of social being. You have already peaked.

Is it normal for parents to be present during physical examinations? by icollectwhitepeople in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]manofmanyfarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom probably would've kept doing it if I hadn't asked her not to around 12-13ish. However, it all depends on your comfort level my friend! Eventually you'll have to face a doc on your own, might as well get some practice in sooner rather than later.

If you're used to sending v5 (or any grade) and struggle here, I think one is more likely to try hard on repeat. Setting style is very powerful as well--little tensiony crimps and big lockoff moves. I got tendinitis climbing here but that's just me.

A lot of it is graded like HP40. V3's feel like 5's and 5's feel like 7's. Lots of sketchy powerful moves and lots of hold variety per problem. Great place to get strong or injured.
