I Google searched how many times Pete Alonso got hit by a pitch yesterday. There was a thread on Reddit and I needed to refresh my recollection which year he got dinged a bunch. I ended up searching the same query three times for the year 2024 (which ended up being the wrong year, was looking for 2023) and getting three different answers, none of which accurately stating how many times he'd actually been hit by a pitch in 2023. I thought a simple fact would be an easy one.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

So AI got something right?
Shit they have to send a team of agents to fix this immediately
nice double entendre :)
I have no problem with this. Carry on.
And consciousness creates reality anyway
This is preposterous! Now the techbros have started worshipping fictional characters on their digital platforms! Know that only one cosmic entity is worthy of being adorned - the almighty Ç̵̛͔͛ť̵͈h̴̜̪̃̎ũ̴̹͗l̵̥̒̀h̵͓͕̓͒u̴̬̎. He makes me build great web apps without AI.
Well, the name "light-butcher" does fit someone serving a dark priest...
Funny enough, Ç̵̛͔͛ť̵͈h̴̜̪̃̎ũ̴̹͗l̵̥̒̀h̵͓͕̓͒u̴̬̎ is actually one of the weaker Eldritch Beings
Says more about the buttery soft texture of your own flesh than anything about Chuthie tbh
I'll take an XK class end of the world scenario over Google slop any day.

is there a dedicated anti-ai trans girl or does this mean something else?

They don't strictly HAVE to be trans, but everyone's transfem in my headcannon :3
Mobile Trans Force?
I mean they are, but you shouldn't be using google
You can’t prove they’re not… 👻
When did Orson Welles first narrate War of the Worlds on the radio? 1938? And we haven't learned anything from that?
I need someone to dereference that initialism.
In general, it's a really great idea to be like journos and dereference initialisms on first use if they can be at all novel or ambiguous.
In this case, SCP is more or less a name on its own. Originally, it referred to the descriptions of how a particular anomaly is to be handled and treated (Standard Containment Procedures), then as the setting got formalised, it became both the name of the SCP-Foundation and a backronym for their motto (Secure, Contain, Protect), and for referring to the anomalies (generally pronounced Scip, with individual anomalies usually referred to by their procedures' number or some variation defined in it).
So if you're talking about, say, SCP-173, it really is just part of the name. Dereferencing it doesn't make much sense, since both the motto and the document don't really fit the object.
not related to dereferencing but I've always said "ess-see-pee one seven three" and imagining it pronounced as "scip" made me take psychic damage
like it makes a ton of sense it just got me XDD
I mean, it's probably a difference between "proper", formal pronunciation (S C P) and informal chatting. So it's not wrong.
