It's just porn I downloaded from Reddit. I don't know if you're aware but there's lots of it and it's free.

Coincidentally I was trying this out yesterday as a potential option for automated porn filtering for the imageboard that I administrate. It is very lightweight which is good but the performance is not great. Some weird false positives and

You can mitigate this with decent bindings, but I agree it's not ideal.

I had the same impression, and Occam's Razor suggests that the reason is because the author wrote it with the heavy assistance of a language model. But I do wonder if might also be a certain proportion of the tech industry that has sta

I suppose I am sympathetic to the feeling of having weird tastes uncatered to by the market. But in that instance, why not actually try and write such stories yourself? And as a reader, what is the appeal of reading stories regurgitated by

Why would you want to write fiction with language models? Serious question. What you would become, in effect, is the fictional Soviet 'writer' from Sam Kriss' 2011 short story 'The Machine'. https://samkr

For a confident road cyclist it is usually a better experience to be on an actual road than a cycle path even though you have to manage vehicular traffic.

The equivalent is probably weird, proprietary DSLs / standard libraries that AI has not been able to ingest so it performs poorly on. But maybe these days LLMs don't even really struggle with these sorts of domains.

It's amusing to me that AI has become sophisticated enough that people have started being racist to it.

Several times I have implemented topological sorts and parsers as part of routine work in very ordinary tech jobs. I think it is absolutely incorrect to say that these tasks are tantamount to implementing your own crypto. They are not thing

I think a lot about this. It's funny how there are certain domains of language, familiar to all native speakers, but that you are simply not likely to learn as an adult language learner, at least not without diligent and focused study.

If you can't see the spin on corporate messaging it means it's working (and consequently, to stretch the metaphor, your wicket is in danger).

Part of the appeal of literature generally and the novel in particular is that it provides you with an incredibly intimate connection to the subjectivity of another person, though they may be long dead, or the speaker of another language, o

It also doesn't get hard enough. Also way too many of the words are just words about long words, or the tendency to be verbose.

British class definitions are not at all the same as American ones. At least as traditionally defined, upper class pretty much meant you were in the titled aristocracy.

Yes, that's the point they're making. Arguably US citizens are more complicit in the crimes of Israel than Iranians are in the crimes of Russia since Americans have more capacity to choice their leadership.
