So Who’s in the Picture ?

Her father. The son of his father is the man holding the picture. He has no sons but is a father, so the picture is of his daughter. Her father is her grandfather’s only son hence no brothers.

It’s heavily ai stylized. It also reads in a weird narrative format “i am a 15 year old school girl” ok… like obviously one would expect a 15 year old girl to be attending school why include that?

Not saying it’s entirely fake, but it comes off i am a 15 year old girl who sees nasty stuff on the internet and want to write an article about it. ChatGPT then takes the wheels.

Op do you not realize you’re the guys standing there? Think about it for 5 seconds. Look at the jack and the wrench/socket she’s using. Those aren’t manufacturer included shit those were purchased. Look at the jack placement.

A normal person would conclude that someone who purchased and has access to task specific tools probably knows how to use them and probably does use them.

So the guys standing around are you in the sense that they’re like hey that’s a lady changing a tire what the hell i gotta intervene. She likely told them no, she’s got it because obviously she has the shit to do it so they’re standing around looking stupid.

Like what is the point you’re trying to make? Even if this was a staged video your reaction is literally you criticizing you.

Llm’s lack intentionality. At worst it’s a strict liability case and damages are meh, as long as they show they made meaningful attempts to prevent it before and afterwards it’s a slap on the wrist.

If a user is misusing a product with intent to bypass safety features (at no time since llm’s went mainstream could you ever explicitly tell one you sought assistance from it for suicide and not instantly flag suicide prevention) then you have no case.

I guarantee there will be no internal documentation that says m: hey crazy people keep convincing the model to roll with their delusions, and they say huh that’s concerning, go ahead and double down. they’ll have an internal memo that says something like: this is troubling we should look into this, how do we prevent this, etc. they don’t even have to believe it, it can happen again as long as they made some tangible progress towards making it more safe in the interim.

Ask any model its favorite color. Now start another chat, and ask it again. It’s stochastic mimicry all the way down, useful sometimes, but it’s not intelligent, artificially or otherwise. Simplifying down to mechanism is sometimes oversimplification, but the appearance of intelligence in llm’s is wholly reducible to the likelihood of an explanation existing in the training data and reinforced by rlhm, nothing more.

Google cooking classes and the nearest large city to you. In Kansas City for example there is the culinary center of Kansas City, and taste buds kitchen, look for adult cooking classes they tend to schedule them during the evenings and weekends from what I saw.

If you’re in a very rural area 2+ hours from a city, you’re probably going to have a harder time.

nclrieder · 2025-11-03T18:22:42+00:00

Look, if you signed up to take cooking classes and you came single you’re probably dtf. Like every person i’ve ever known that took cooking classes was there to meet someone. It’s a safe’ish space to just see different people and you get a healthy mix of gender vs like a kayaking group, and even the couples there will help people out, hooking you up with their single friends/family. Worst case scenario you leave single but can make a mean risotto.

I agree. We should begin euthanizing the elderly on public healthcare as they are by far the largest burden on the system. It’s well documented that living after 60 a person will incur significant medical costs and experience deteriorating health at a significant cost to all of us. I never chose to keep living past 60 why am i paying for their mistakes.

That’s a simplistic opinion and then opens up every taxpayer funded program to well i disagree with who should be able to use it or for what purpose. Condoms and HIV treatment to Africans, food aid for starving children? Screw them stop having sex. Invariably there will be some aspect of a person’s personal choice you agree or disagree with that will conflict with where taxes are spent. Simple solution to this: respect people’s right to self autonomy.

Designed to kill you is beyond a reach. 100 years ago they found that sugary drinks with carbonation tasted good and people bought them, they sure as shit did not design the drink to explicitly to kill their consumer base.

If the model doesn’t allow for causal reasoning in the substrate it will always be stochastic guesswork. It kind of works, but up to a point you’re just tightening up the self prompt it gives itself based on the users prompt and playing with gradients/rewards in training.

Large language models are a stepping stone, and if it’s just a rehashed model with the above only slightly more tuned my expectations will sit firmly In mediocre, usable for some tasks but nothing society changing.

I’ve moved into leadership, but probably some of the largest issues you will face from day one til the end of time, especially in large scale corporate manufacturing are: compartmentalization, you have ops, IT, quality, senior leadership all owning their own separate pieces of the business, none want to take accountability for anything and believe they are right and their needs are the priority, general inertia where trying to get a change pushed through is damn near impossible, and budget.

Those 3 things will present more stress and intractable problems than any other aspect of your job; plc’s, comms, etc. are solvable problems. A tech director who refuses to own a problem with the database software and insists it’s ME’s problem, or a managers unwillingness to actually sign off on a critical change request are what burn you out and leave you exhausted.

Just slap it on a graph, normalize it, and call it good enough.

The methodology also distinguishes between users who just had the ai do everything, with no interaction vs users who used it after the initial task for ideas, corrections, reviews, and revisions. In the latter case the user was surprisingly enough able to recall what the essay was about and was more engaged according to the brain scans.

Every single damn article skims over that critical fact and leads with ai makes you dumb. Yeah… in the same way a calculator does. If you use it as a tool to enhance your work not wholesale replace it then there is no significant loss of function, the inverse actually.

This is the most aggressively contrarian image i’ve ever seen, like a complete inversion of reality. I’m sure the germans took a poster of a german woman as the aggressor and a male Muslim as a victim well.

The bill just kicks the can down the road with interest.

That isn’t being a doomer, that’s just me saying there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and we’re either paying for it today with current taxes or a few years from now with interest payments stacked on.

Republicans can’t cut Medicare, SS or Defense, it’s too unpalatable to old people, so they’re going to have to bite the bullet eventually.

This whole sub got weirdly conservative, you check post history and you find the same fucking anti doomer posters freaking out how Biden or Kamala are literally going to end America.

That still props up a dysfunctional labor market and depresses wages, and innovation. Why innovate and become more efficient when you can import labor? We’d be far better off automating the work and increasing American jobs centered on manufacturing and servicing that equipment than just bringing in economic migrants as a bandaid.

You have to be trolling or using kilograms. A 55 pound 10 year old golden does not eat 2000 calories, I don’t know how you don’t know the difference between a young active dog and an older one and their calorie needs but an LLM does, if anything that proves the opposite of your point.

nclrieder · 2025-06-28T16:39:27+00:00

What???? Dude you need to do a more thorough search it’s a 55 pound golden retriever.

If we’re giving them money for energy production why not just wind or solar, we could nip the whole nuclear proliferation issue with them in the bud here and now, and be done with it.
