and of course, not a single citation for the intro paragraph, which has some real bangers like:

This process involves self-assessment and internal deliberation, aiming to enhance reasoning accuracy, minimize errors (like hallucinations), and increase interpretability. Reflection is a form of "test-time compute," where additional computational resources are used during inference.

because LLMs don’t do self-assessment or internal deliberation, nothing can stop these fucking things from hallucinating, and the only articles I can find for “test-time compute” are blog posts from all the usual suspects that read like ads and some arXiv post apparently too shitty to use as a citation

the richest boy in the world sued to stop The Onion from turning infowars into a parody of itself on the grounds that he thinks infowars’ twitter accounts shouldn’t be transferred as part of the bankruptcy even though that’s something that happens constantly and also wouldn’t impact the rest of the bankruptcy proceedings even if it were grounded in anything resembling fact

Musk has also tweeted occasionally that he believes The Onion is not funny.

it’s getting really hard to adequately describe how funny musk isn’t. it’s not just try-hard shit like the weird sink thing, the soul-sucking cameos, or the fact that he’s literally throwing his money into stopping a comedy site from existing — it’s everything taken as a whole. I’d call him anti-comedy, but he’s so much less interesting than that implies

not gonna give any money to a startup whose weird fucking founder thinks their primary product is AI rather than search, thanks

Sweet: Comments talking about the specific situation of JD Vance referencing an SSC post.

Not Sweet: Any other references to JD Vance about anything unrelated, including the upcoming election, per the culture war rule.

I probably shouldn’t be looking for meaning in a rule that’s designed so that none of Scott’s fans associate him with the fascist shit he constantly and intentionally platforms, but what the fuck is this supposed to mean? don’t bring up the only reason anyone including Joe Rogan gives a fuck about JD Vance?

the Chick-Fil-A streaming/entertainment app

the worst chicken place[*] has a fucking streaming app? of course it fucking does, chick-fil-a can’t fuck off

[*] if anyone replies to this to kneejerk slobber over chick-fil-a’s nasty fucking chicken: why. which part of it is good. it’s not the sauces or the brine or the breading and it’s definitely not some combination of all those things. why the fuck is this garbage fried chicken popular when literally every other choice is better. please for the love of fuck eat some Church’s or try a local place, you’ll discover the idea of flavor and it’ll astound you

since 1969 all computers have been running Unix. This operating system has NO SCIENTIFIC RELATIONSHIP with our universe and actually causes the brain to become agitated.

is… is yud one of the disaster monkeys? or are we supposed to forget he spent a bunch of years running and renaming an institute that tried and failed to do this exact same alignment grift?

jesus fuck, 300%? and they’re leaning hard into generative AI horseshit? and I remember a bunch of graphic designers I know very loudly leaving Adobe Cloud for Canva specifically because of adobe’s greed and focus on shoving AI into their product. some of them fucking tagged Canva in the post!

Canva users online have condemned the increases, with some announcing they’ll be canceling their subscriptions and moving to Adobe applications.

some have announced they’re unsubscribing from the frying pan and resubscribing to the fire. not that I can blame them — Canva’s product is utterly indistinguishable from Adobe’s shit now, but it’s still easier to hire designers that know Adobe because it’s unfortunately an industry standard. there’s no reason to stay aboard Canva’s sinking ship.

ah well, at least we’ve got alternatives like the Affinity suite—

These huge price increases also follow Canva purchasing the company behind Affinity’s creative software suite for a reported “several hundred million [British] pounds,” and ahead of a potential public listing in the US in 2026.

well fuck. being a designer fucking sucks.

maybe if I’m an extra good consumer they’ll replace all the freezer doors with pointless screens you can’t see through that are all constantly broken but still manage to waste a fuckton of energy

my consumer experience will really be improved when every one of those screens is recording my movements for the noble goal of knowing when to replace the animated ad for monster energy with an extremely inaccurate listing of the items contained in the freezer

motherfuckers

as a consumer, I love to be delighted by a grocery environment that only makes prices lower (than a baseline price Kroger themselves set based on factors like: lying about the impact of shoplifting; intentionally creating food deserts; colluding with other supermarket chains to keep prices high; vibes)

read the fucking article before you multi-post your uninformed shit in this thread, thanks

no, nobody here is particularly shocked that fascists would lie about being socialists
