  • Completely nonsensical post content and title.
  • URL in title which makes me think it might be spam/advertisement for catholicchemistry.com is.
  • Literally nothing about the post is remotely relevant to the community it's posted in.

Looks like hallucinating "aGeNtIc Ai" to me. The text itself is too clean to be stable diffusion or DALL-E or whatever, so I'm guessing it's not exactly that, but it's far too weird not make me think it might be some kind of misbehaving algorithm.

I haven't looked at your post history yet to see if all of your posts are similarly nonsensical, so I still don't know if I'm responding to a human.

To be fair, similarly nonsensical posts existed before AI. Maybe that's just your thing. It's definitely not really what this (or any other, really) community is for, however.

the LLM's dataset uses only public domain and openly licensed material.

I'm curious about the specifics of all this. Probably the most well-known "openly licensed" sort of licenses (aside from licenses specifically intended only for software) are the Creative Commons family of licenses, all of which require attribution. So then the question would become "if you've used any of my CC-licensed content in training this model, am I attributed somewhere?" If so, surely the list is extremely long. Or maybe Creative Commons wasn't "openly"-enough licensed and they excluded all CC-licensed content from the training set.

Also, the public domain is definitely strongly biased toward very old content. You'd think a lot of the answers you got from that LLM would be based on some very outdated information. Maybe they specifically limited it to (or at least adjusted weights or something to make it prefer) recent materials in the public domain.

But then the article also says:

It performed about as well as Meta's similarly sized Llama 2-7B from 2023.

On top of all this, I have to say that the LLM sphere really is just scams piled on top of scams, so it's fairly probable either that it doesn't perform anywhere near as well as Llama 2-7B and they're just lying or that actually Llama 2-7B (and indeed all LLMs as well) is just total shit too.

No, finite doesn't necessarily mean it has a border. The surface of the earth has finite area, but one can theoretically travel along the surface of the earth forver in any one direction without ever hitting any border. (You'd of course eventually return to where you started, but not hit a border.) The universe may well be the same way. A "hypersphere" if you will. That is, maybe theoretically if you traveled in "a straight line" forever, you'd eventually find yourself where you started rather than ever hitting an edge or boundary or border.

First off, it's not certain that space is infinite, but I'd say it's probable.

But even if it's infinite, infinity has some unusual properties that make this make sense. For this, I'm going to borrow from Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel.

Imagine a hotel with an infinite number of rooms numbered 0, 1, 2, 3... with no end. The room numbers (and rooms) just keep going on forever. And imagine that hotel has no vacancy. That is, an infinite number of guests are already staying there and there are no hotel rooms that are vacant. But then, someone shows up and asks the hotel clerk for a room. The clerk, being a clever fellow, has all the current patrons change rooms to the room numbered one higher than the one they were previously in. (The person in room 0 moves to room 1. The person in room 1 moves to room 2. etc.) That operation is one that can go on forever. (It couldn't go on forever in a hotel with a finite number of rooms, but in an infinite hotel, an infinite number of patrons can move to the next room up and not a single one of the infinite number of patrons will be unable to do so for lack of a room numbered one greater than their previous room.) Then, the clerk books room 0 for the new arrival. But also notice that the number of patrons before the new arrival is the same as the total number of patrons including the new arrival.

Said another way, ∞+1=∞. (Not only that, but ∞+∞=∞. Thinking about the previous thought experiment, if an infinite number of people arrived to a fully occupied infinite hotel, the clerk could have all the existing patrons move to the room that was double their previous room number and then book all of the infinite number of new arrivals in all the odd-numbered rooms.)

Final thoughts:

  • I don't know where you got "the cause of [space expanding?] is apparently dark matter being created." Maybe I'm just uninformed, but I haven't heard of that. (There's the idea of "dark energy" that IIRC is related to space expanding, but I'm not sure I've heard dark matter used as an explanation of that.)
  • Some of your question kindof implies that "space" is expanding "into" some... meta-space or something. Like you're envisioning our space existing inside another space. And part of your question is about how the "meta-spacetime" can expand infinitely to accommodate our space. I don't think that's certain. It's entirely possible that's not really an accurate way to view what might be "outside" our space. (I'm not sure "outside our space" is really a meaningful concept.)

His base is a cult. They'll retroactively decide that pardoning him was a good thing if that happens. That's what they always do.

I'm writing a Lemmy bot. (No spoilers. I'll publish it one day.) To test it, I'm running a local Lemmy instance (via Docker) on a computer on my LAN and pointing my bot at it. That method works great, mostly. I can use Lemmy-UI just fine on my computer. I can also connect to that computer from a browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:1234/. I can also connect to Lemmy directly from my browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:8536/ and get a JSON payload (rather than an HTML page) with some information about the instance. So I'm certain I can connect to both Lemmy and Lemmy-UI from elsewhere on my LAN.

I also want to see exactly what posts made by my bot look like in Jerboa, but I haven't been able to figure out how to connect to it from Jerboa. On the "add account instance" interface, you can select an instance from the dropdown, but you can also type whatever you want into the dropdown field.

I've tried typing in:

  • 192.168.1.199
  • 192.168.1.199:1234 (Lemmy-UI is HTTP port 1234.)
  • 192.168.1.199:8536 (Lemmy is HTTP port 8536.)
  • http://192.168.1.199:1234/
  • http://192.168.1.199:8536/

(And, yeah, I figure port 1234 is probably not correct because probably Jerboa doesn't go through Lemmy-UI, but rather directly to Lemmy itself. But I figured I'd include those experiments here for completeness's sake.)

But I get the error message "Couldn't connect to the instance."

I'm running Jerboa 0.0.77 and Lemmy 0.19.8.

Thanks in advance!

I learned just recently that dbzer0 has a great piracy community that is blocked by lemmy.world . I'm not saying I'm looking to switch instances or anything, but it did get me wondering what else might be blocked by my instance that I wasn't previously aware of.

While we're at it, I'm curious what communities might notably be blocked on other instances as well. So we might as well just make this a question about what might be blocked by any particular instance, not just my instance.

So, what's blocked on some instances that folks might not have realized is blocked?

Coworker. I told him to fuck off with his conspiracy bullshit. But back when I patronized him, one thing he said was that he didn't consider belief a binary as in that you either believe something or don't. He viewed all beliefs as a continuum. You can believe one thing 10% and another thing 90%, but he wouldn't let me pin him down as to whether he "believed" any particular thing or not.

All while trying to convince me "tall white aliens" run the U.S. government and Sandy Hook was faked by a bunch of actors and the U.S. military had invisibility technology and planes that aren't dumping weather-controlling chemicals don't leave trails in the sky. Pretty standard QAnon-level bullshit. But if I asked him if he believed any of those things, he wouldn't answer. Honestly, it makes sense as a dishonest rhetorical tactic.

Dude also literally drinks borax in his juice cleanse drink.

Just as examples:

  • I've never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
  • I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn't realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
  • Oh, and I've never seen the "hawk tuah" video.

I.

Hate.

Country.

Music.

Or at least that's something I'd've said, say, maybe 5 or 6 years ago. And it was true! I hadn't heard a single song I could identify as "country" that I could stand, let alone "like".

But it all started with Lil' Nas X and "Old Town Road". I think the first time I heard it, I dismissed it without really "getting" it. But when I started hearing and liking other things by Lil' Nas X, and when one of my favorite YouTube content creators said good things about "Old Town Road" on a stream, I listened again. More out of curiosity than anything. But with more context, I understood "Old Town Road" better. And, dare I say, liked it.

"It's ironic country music", I told myself. "It's ok for me to like that. It's got the affectations of country music, but it's not country music in its bones. It's actually pop if you really think about it."

I.

Hate.

Country.

Music.

(Except "Old Town Road" because it's only "ironically" country.)

See? It's so simple. The world still made sense. And I could listen to it and like it, and admit to myself that I liked it.

And then came Jelly Roll.

It was New Year's Eve (I don't remember what year it was), and I was watching New Year's Rockin' Eve as I do every year (and plan to this year). And on comes a country artist. I groaned and reached for the mute button. But my friend wanted to hear it. So...

He sang "Need A Favor." And, it was... good. I liked it.

Try as I might, I couldn't think of an excuse why I was allowed to like it. And I didn't listen to anything else by him for a good while, gut when I did, I liked it too.

I.

Hate.

Country.

Music.

(Except that one song by Nas X. And I guess I like that one song by Jelly Roll. But that's it.)

And I did listen to a little more Jelly Roll and it was surprisingly enjoyable as well. And I still hadn't resolved the cognitive dissonance when...

Bam! The most recent episode of SNL came on. And the musical guest was Shaboozey.

And since then I have not been able to stop listening to "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" practically on repeat.

And it was a few days before I let the ~~intrusive thoughts~~YouTube algorithm win and play me another Shaboozey song. It was "Highway." And holy shit, it was... if anything better than "Tipsy".

And I've listened to a bunch of Shaboozey since, and his stuff ranges from "actually really good" to "I can't stop playing it."

I...

guess I...

kinda... maybe...

like...

country music...

actually?

It's really surreal. But it's clearly impossible to continue to believe that "I don't like country music".

The jury's still out on Post Malone's "I Had Some Help" featuring Morgan Wallen. But honestly, I'm listening to it as I write this to try to form a more solid opinion on it and I can feel it growing on me a bit.

I'm not sure whether I'm changing or country music is. This is all still very new to me.

Maybe I've just been racist against country music until I started seeing some less "traditional" country musicians. A part of me is worried the country music I've been enjoying lately is going to end up being a gateway drug to the harder stuff like Kenny Chesney's "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" and Toby Keith's "As Good As I Once Was". But doing research for this Lemmy post, I just listened to a (small) part of each of those two, and I can report I'm at no risk of developing a habit of either of those.

...for now.
