They’re older than Florida. The Floridian peninsula is the solidified runoff of the Appalachians that got caught on some coral. It’s why we’re like this, I think. You don’t stand a chance of being normal when you were created by the shed skin of an elder god draping itself over a hollow skeleton. You’re always going to be a little Off.
I know it’s like cringe or whatever to care about media unironically but I actually do love when you love a story so much it becomes a part of your soul
There’s no such thing as a definitive gay experience because just being LGBT means you have your own experiences and culture and niches and so there can never be just one correct definitive “gay culture” however you can do it wrong by being a swiftie
Holding the laptop’s power button down because it’s crashed and there’s no other way to turn it off feels so unsettling. It makes me feel like I’m holding a cushion over its face while the life slowly ebbs out of it.
There is no form of hating fat people - including concern trolling or hating fat acceptance - that doesn’t amount to you saying, “Uh, excuse me, what made you think you could go around having a body without justifying it to me?”
When you talk about “fat” diseases - you’re saying: “uh, that body better be perfectly healthy in all instances forever before I give you my approval.”
When you talk about “it’s just not attractive” - you’re saying: “I think I made it clear that if your body isn’t pleasing to me, I’m not signing off on it.”
When you talk about “just eat less and exercise more” - you’re saying: “who gave you permission to live your life as you see fit instead of how I see fit?”
So let me just be clear: all anti-fat arguments are always and completely invalid because fat people will never owe you an explanation or justification for their bodies, their health, or their lives.
Fat acceptance is simply the assertion of a right fat people have always had, and one it’s long past time others started accepting.
obsessed with the fact humans successfully made computers to do math so now we are making computers worse at math
I think this is a fascinating example of how this shit is literally just math patterns.
The program is just a statistical algorithm; it has no judgement and thus cannot judge whether or not an answer is correct or incorrect. When it was closed, the programmers controlled the inputs of information in ways that lead to correct answers; now it’s not, but the algorithm is just the same and it’s getting shit wrong.
This is part of what’s going on here! But also it’s worth pointing out that there are some serious issues with the methodology of this paper which mean that you shouldn’t take the headline claims at face value.
A full takedown and contextualization is at https://www.aisnakeoil.com/p/is-gpt-4-getting-worse-over-time , but the short version is that the math problem solving tasks were cherrypicked so that ChatGPT could bluff its way to the correct answer – which was always the same every time!
(The questions were all of the form “is 17077 a prime number”, but the numbers they chose were all prime! GPT doesn’t have the capability to reliably detect or factor composite numbers of that size, but it wasn’t being tested on that!)
Oooh thanks for the link!!
Looking through, ironically some of the answers to the question of “is it getting worse over time” per the takedown authors appears to be “no, but only because it was actually that bad even to start with.” Totally recommend checking out the whole link tho, as it will further help contextualize what these programs/algorithms AREN’T.
