What an utterly absurd statement to make. It is embarrassing honestly and not worth more of a response.

If you want to know anything about Africa you have to read news from Africa. No one in the west reads anything but the most sensationalist bullshit so you can't blame reporters for writing it. The real story is just never interesting e

The default is rather wordy. You could instruct chatGPT4 to be less wordy or in the API put instructions to be less wordy in the system prompt or limit answers to a sentence. I would assume the poster just edited this though.

"I flipped a coin once in Japan and it landed heads. I can't understand why the coin always lands on heads in Japan. It is those greedy Americans that have to have coins with head and tails".

I would really look at a chart of USD/Yen. My fav dining experiences were in Canada in 2000 when USD was so strong vs CAD everything on the menu was half off.

Midjourney and GPT4 suck , don't use them. Use your old tools and let fools like me waste their time.

Krita makes Gimp irrelevant. I don't know why anyone would use Gimp over Krita other than knowing the Gimp workflow that well.

Totally agree. I think this is just the insecurity of the person who thinks this. If you go to the same gym you are already in-grouped. It is the insecurity of the new person who would think they are out-grouped. Meatheads love new lifters.

Testosterone levels play a huge role in both memory and sexual satisfaction too. I mean those are standard effects older men report from testosterone replacement. To do an experiment in this area and not even mention testosterone is basical

He might not have thought it was a shortcut though. If he thinks it is like querying a database and had never heard of hallucinations then this could just be an honest mistake. Especially if he thinks AI would be smarter than a database. My

It is not worse for me. I do notice the novelty has worn off. Asking chatGPT4 about why people would think this on here I think it nails it with the novelty effect lol: "Indeed, the performance of an AI model like ChatGPT doesn't

Because there is a ton of control you have over the image and these tools are incredible. It is a ridiculous for someone to knock a tool if they barely know how to use it. You practically see no midjourney prompts using :: because most peop

As if a huge part of the experience of a beach in Bali is not feeling the sand between your toes, the temperature of the water on your skin, the smell of the ocean, the ambient air temperature, the feeling of a change in your weight when yo

Also, if you don't have Facebook and want to go to this running club you would be forced to actually befriend someone to such a degree in the club that can keep you updated that has Facebook. It can't just be the "convenient&

Food addiction is a better example I think. You have to learn to moderate, you can't just go cold turkey. I am sure AA doesn't bother with moderation because abstaining is simply that much more effective. Even if you went on a mon

Of course this is reality. There are just many privileged people here that are so insulated from reality they confuse their insane social media political talking points with actual reality. The counter argument is always some straw man pull

The idea elected politicians want a cashless society is utterly absurd to me. It misses the obvious fact that an elected politician needs the privacy of cash for taking bribes. A cashless society can only work in an authoritarian regime tha

There is absolutely nothing new here. This is just a symptom of our regression back to a dominate aristocratic class that is pleased when the king hires Mozart as the court musician.

Personally, I find the idea of statistically measuring the "happiness" of an entire society to be absolute intellectual fraud. There is even correlation with my happiness by the minute based on some of the dumb things I read on he

Sam Altman is saying we are going to see a shift from labor to capital and that is going to cause more economic inequality along with possibly breaking the social contract. It is probably nothing though...As if this gopher server is going t

Most parents are sending their kids to bed with a phone and the kid is watching far more graphic sex than what is in these books. I see a study from 2022 that 10% have watched porn by the age of 9. The average age a kid first watched intern

I don't have or want kids so have never had an opinion on this. I see “Nick and Charlie" mentioned in an article. A book about two gay boys that get drunk and fool around. If you just look at the cover it is going to be super trig

The old skim was even better than that. Make $500k, report $300k and send $200k cash back to Chicago.

It strikes me that we just have our head in the sand when it comes to dating. From the sample of young guys I know, the ripped guy on trenbolone that takes great shirtless pictures is fucking so many women that he actually says he is picky

He gained notoriety in the 90s cyberpunk time but from NYC. The fact he sounds weird is interesting because it is really the degree that everything has become dominated by the culture of San Francisco. It is the degree that Silicon Valley b

"AGI" is such a ridiculous use of language. AGI is just the old "strong AI" that is just the old "AI", all that we never bothered to precisely define. I just can't understand how we can talk about language

IMO we first need to clean up our language and precisely define the word intelligence so we all know what we are even talking about. I would imagine we actually understand intelligence but in ordinary language it is a placeholder for a numb

I think it comes from a place of guilt exactly because of that level of privilege but over time it has morphed into a type of intellectual fetish. Like the person so involved in the BDSM community that everything relates back somehow to bon

I have made a chatbot like this and I am not a software engineer. The whole thing is trivial to make. The system prompt is trivial. I would even say it was harder to make a geocities page in the 90s than to make a chatbot like this. 3.5 tur

The only real value I can see with democracy is in being able to pull the lever and get a new set of dice to role if things go bad. Beyond that it seems to be mostly mythology and nonsense. You either have smart good rulers or you don'
