That's a different bucket, we clearly can't have the commons put their dirty hands in there.

They say they have DATA showing fraud, so they absolutely could find any of the problems, and certainly there have already been procedures in place to do that. This is just an opportunity to make up a new issue and use it for cruelty. A good society takes care of its people, it doesn't make them crawl through hoop after hoop to survive.

There are topics to debate on concerning AI use, but in the end art itself is always subjective. What's funny is that AI has gotten to a level now where if used carefully it might fly under the radar of AI critics, meanwhile they are attacking artists who aren't using AI but have a style that seems to them to be "fake".

Impeachment (or two) isn't enough, as the current President shows. Impeachment without consequence is just something to note in the footnotes of a history book. Hell, Clinton didn't get real consequences either, but let's compare the impeachment findings of both Presidents as well as motives to pursue them together and compare.

Wonder what the audio version sounds like?

Rescue dogs from testing places are the saddest animals you'll ever see, and paint a picture of how evil humans can be all in the name of "science", or worse, "profit".

Puppies who couldn't walk right on carpet or grass because they had always been on a hard surface, or would cower from a pet because they never got contact at all... at least the ones that get out have some chance of a life worth living once they get past the trauma. They're the lucky ones.

If they're asking for them, they don't know what they are. Therefore they don't exist.

If they require you to make one to fill it out, then there are other jobs out there.

selectivity based on probability and not weighing on evidence

I don’t follow this, but an LLM’s whole “world” is basically the prompt it’s fed. It can “weigh” that, but then how does one choose what’s in the prompt?

Some describe or use the analogy of an autocompleter with a very big database. LLMs are more complex than just that, but that's the idea, and when the model looks at the prompt and context of the conversation, it's choosing the best match of words to fulfill that prompt. My point was that the best word or phrase completion doesn't mean it's the best answer, or even right. It's just seen as the most probabilistic in the huge training data. If that data is crap, the answers are crap. Having Wikipedia as a source and presumably the only source is better than many places on the internet to pull from, but that doesn't guarantee the answers that pop up will be always correct or the best in a choice of answers. It's just the most likely based on the data.

It would be different if it was AGI because by definition it would be able to find the best data based on the data itself, not text probability, and could look at anything connected including discussion behind the article and make a judgement on how solid the information is for the prompt in question. We don't have that yet. Maybe we will, maybe we won't for any number of reasons.

Yeah, that's terrible. We're already at Minority Reports levels, only still without a great AR device, only the phone itself.

It speaks a lot of today's world when so many replies were about some type of debt or replacement of assets. My gut feeling is if the rules don't require a tangible purchase (aka Brewster's Million) putting the bulk into something that will grow the base amount is the best option. But it depends on any debt and its interest rate, as removing that expense is usually the best move as their rate is going to be far greater than any interest you can gain.

I can have a voice in my head that helps me find the right direction. I don't attribute it to some god though, and it never pushes me to think it's such a thing.

I think 2 were bought out in a merger recently.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
