Congress moves too slow to be effective at thwarting off bad policy (largely written by lobbyists) until after it’s done its damage. By then, the senators that sponsored the bill quietly retire. Or they double down behind closed doors to be elected well into their geriatric years. I’m for term limits and age caps.
Lobbyists can't write bad policy unless it is passed by congress, so basically you are saying that congress doesn't move fast enough to stop congress. I'm also skeptical of this "but the lobbyists" argument and I can't think of a single major problem facing the country that can be reasonably blamed on them.
I’ll continue to use neither. All these social media platforms can die. Let’s bring back forums and moderation. I feel like current LLMs can do a good job of flagging content if you give it some rules.
I miss the discussions on things like game dev, digital art, programming, math, etc that I used to get from forums that have since all moved to discord and has become a hollowed existence.
Maybe this is just me getting old. Mastodon sounded like it could have been the next thing but the whole distributed nature makes it cumbersome. I’ll look into it again.
I found that 2025 was the year for me to stop, decompress, research SOTA models and AI stuff, and disconnect from anything not providing in my life.
Neither, it’s just not providing the base chat template that the model expects between the im tags. This isn’t a hack and it’s not particularly useful information. Abliteration is what he really wanted
Depends on the model. Some just go into “immediate mode” and just do whatever you ask, others operate fine but have trouble with tasks/tools. While others will go down a quant that was basically neglected since inception and you get garbage back. Random chars or endless loops.
Thinking on it, I suspect it's a case of a larger number of smaller techniques. Cops aren't very good at keeping secrets so it can't be something that is widely pervasive, but every department has their stupid little trick
It’s all about delivery. Cops don’t deal with it directly. Their department does through a vendor on a branded portal where they upload information and it does its thing.
It’s no different than any investigative portal they use in their eyes.
This is both awesome and scary. Yes, now we can embed image gen in things like game engines and photoshop or build our own apps. On the other hand, we can include image gen in anything…
It's almost as if this is the first time many have seen something built in C with zero dependencies which makes this easily possible.
Since they are used to languages with package managers adding 30 package and including 50-100+ other dependencies just before the project is able to build.
In all seriousness. Windows is invaded by copilot, OpenAI introducing ads, Google providing Siri for Apple, it’s all just a collusion to keep you buying. Disconnect. From TV, Media, Ads, Social Networks, Predatory subscriptions, all of it. The only way to show these companies that we are not on board with this is to not participate.
Reddit generates its revenue with schadenfreude, YouTube and AAA games with GenAI (see: Ghibli in Call of Duty, and fast growing AI channels like Nick Invests or Bernard with “Why it Sucks to be X”).
On my shelf from the corner of my eye I see “Understanding the Linux Kernel”. It’s outdated, but it comes from a time of peer review and subject matter experts. I don’t need to double guess if the author is hallucinating or if they’re subconsciously trying to sell me something.
Maybe it’s time we return to books for entertainment and knowledge share.
