One day along the Texas-Mexico border shows that realities shift more rapidly than rhetoric (apnews.com)

As midnight nears, the lights of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, fill the sky on the silent banks of the Rio Grande. A few months ago, hundreds of asylum-seeking families, including crying toddlers, waited for an opening to crawl through razor wire from Juarez into El Paso....

Being an ignorant bigot is also a choice.

Hahaha. You’re funny.

Don’t engage with the bots.

I guess I’m just better at spotting them. Cheers.

Lol. Fuck them swiss bees, I guess?

If tomorrow it was announced that aliens were real, highly intelligent, and in communication with our governments, no one would be talking about it by Halloween

Seriously, I doubt it would even take that long. We get used to shit so quickly, and the news cycles have to keep feeding us new things, the only way we’d keep talking about the aliens if they kept doing new and interesting things. I’d be willing to bet a year later there would be some people who straight up forgot about it....

Randomgal ,

Nah. It’d be alien themed-halloween.

Are modern LLMs closer to AGI or next word predictor? Where do they fall in this graph with 10 on x-axis being human intelligence. (programming.dev)

Wondering if Modern LLMs like GPT4, Claude Sonnet and llama 3 are closer to human intelligence or next word predictor. Also not sure if this graph is right way to visualize it.

Randomgal ,

I think you point out the main issue here. Wtf is intelligence as defined by this axis? IQ? Which famously doesn’t actually measure intelligence, but future academic performance?

Give your loved one a lick before and after cremation. Fool proof method.

No but your tounge is literally a chemical analyzer so…

Project Analyzing Human Language Usage Shuts Down Because ‘Generative AI Has Polluted the Data’ (www.404media.co)

The creator of an open source project that scraped the internet to determine the ever-changing popularity of different words in human language usage says that they are https://github.com/rspeer/wordfreq/blob/master/SUNSET.md?ref=404media.co because generative AI spam has poisoned the internet to a level where the project no...

NGL sounds like a butthurt dude. Emotional arguments without logic.

(Religious) What would i be labeled?

I’m curious if there’s a name to the belief I have. I wouldn’t exactly call it atheist, though i generally lean that way, but I wouldn’t call it non-theist. The thing is, I just plain don’t care if God exists or not. They could, or they couldn’t, it really has no bearing on how I live my life. For that reason along I...

Randomgal ,

You are correct. Atheism is the belief (ironically) that there is no divinity.

I think what you describe (not really caring and leaning towards there not being divinity) would be called atheist-agnostic.

Someone who does think there is divinity but doesnt really care would be a deist-agnostic.

These are more complex concepts than I’m painting them to be, but if you Google them you can see if they fit the way you see yourself.

Randomgal ,

An atheist who finds cero evidence, but does not believe (or assert) there is no divinity, is not an artist, they are an agnostic-atheist.

I don’t think it matters. But belief in there being no divinity, is by definition: a-theism (no-god)

Side note: Everyone is a believer in things that do not exist. Like perfect geometry, or the value of paper money.

Randomgal ,

Pretty sure the guy you’re answering to has no idea what he’s talking about. Lol

Randomgal ,

Maybe because it sa fake story? Lol

Randomgal ,

I’ll eat ass, but using your headphones? That’s where I draw the line.

Surely the CIA wouldn’t lie about Russia either, that’d be crazy.

Randomgal ,

I mean… It worked on you, clearly.

what would be the best way to tell your supervisor to stop inquiring about your personal life and mobbing you into opening up?

my supervisor is an extrovert, whereas I’m an introvert. She feels insulted if I don’t share my personal life with her and ridicules me before other coworkers because I separate private and work life and prefer to keep to myself....

Randomgal ,

Just be honest and let him know you don’t want to talk about yourself/certain topics.

Disney trips meant for homeless students went to NYC school employees' kids, officials say (apnews.com)

Six employees of New York City’s public school system took their children or grandchildren on trips to Disney World, New Orleans and other locations using tickets that were meant for homeless students, investigators said in a newly released report....

Poor and homeless KIDS. How rotten do you have to be to fuck over a kid.

Israeli pleads guilty to shipping US-made avionics to Russia, violating sanctions (www.timesofisrael.com)

Gal Haimovich, 49, admitted to deceiving American companies about the destination of goods, including some that had missile technology applications, which he supplied to intermediaries en route to Russian customers, the US Justice Department said in a statement Tuesday....

Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread

As someone who grew up playing games like World of Warcraft and other AAA titles, I’ve seen how the gaming industry has evolved over the years—and not always for the better. One of the most disturbing trends is the rise of gacha games, which are, at their core, thinly veiled gambling systems targeting younger players. And I...

Randomgal ,

It depends on if you value your time or not. That’s what you gamble in WoW. If you don’t get your drop at the end of the raid, you lost time. When a new expansion obsoletes your gear, you lost time.

Oh wait, you literally have to buy play-time to even do the raid in the first place and roll the wheel. Not to mention the (sub)time it takes to level up and gear up.

Yeah. Just because you are not pulling out your wallet at every kill doesn’t mean you aren’t gambling and losing, both time and money.

Randomgal ,

It is gambling becaae there is a “house” you at playing against, whoever sets the odds and has a financial interest in them.

If you’re playing a singleplayer game, you are still triggering the same mechanisms, but no one is profiting from you staying up until 3am playing a singleplayer game you already paid for.

Randomgal ,

If I hit my little toe against the bed’s leg, the right word is “fuck”.

Randomgal ,

Idk man I’d someone said this to me, I’d slowly back away. Mushrooms are cool, but not a silver bullet in anyway.

Hint: Enlightened people probably aren’t posting on Lemmy. XD

Russia’s Medvedev threatens nuke strike would turn Kyiv into ‘gray spot’ on the map (www.rferl.org)

Russian officials have threatened that a possible decision by the West to allow Kyiv to use donated weapons to strike deeper into Russian territory would result in a major escalation of its war against Ukraine that could include the use of nuclear weapons....

Randomgal ,

Agreed. Not a big fan of military in general, but NATO probably won’t go straight to nuclear genocide, as much as some people around here seem to want that.

Randomgal ,

Cool story bro.

Randomgal ,

Same with war crimes against Russia. People here love to argue we should be as bad as the enemy because they did it first, but just this time* fr fr

Randomgal ,

Proof of burden falls on whoever is making the assertion.

Randomgal ,

What problem would this be solving? How would it improve on what’s already on offer? Are there any benefits to being a member or a worker, compared to a regular subscription model and a job?

These are not rethoric, I like the idea but I’m curious how it would work on more practical terms.

Randomgal ,

Alright. Let’s think of a random Joe, that uses reddit. A cousin, a friend, etc. What would be the pitch for them to give this coop social network a try?

For example:

Hey Joe, I know you like Reddit, check this out…

It sounds like you’re selling an ideology then, not a functional product.

Randomgal ,

They don’t. But you can pay rent on revolutionary ideas alone.

Randomgal ,

Lol trash article.

Randomgal ,

You’re spot on, but it’s not “the people” it’s just the incels on 4Chan. Same with “thots”. No one says that in real life, it just internet brainrot.

I thought this was some big brain 4D metaphor. XD

This is definitely one of the strangest cash grabs I've ever seen (lemmy.world)

Honkai Star Rail, a free-to-play gacha game (basically, gambling game of chance) in which players spend anywhere from $5 to $10,000 to get characters, gear, equipment… is now releasing a disc version of their game on PlayStation 5. First issue with this is that many people don’t have a disk drive in their PlayStation, and...

Randomgal ,

Have you heard of collector’s items my dude?

Randomgal ,

Because they are behind a screen, and they see life as videogames and hyperbole.

Randomgal ,

Not to mention the deluge of posts/comments advocating greater violence in the name of stopping violence. Honestly? I think people are just waking up to the fact that behind the techno babble and ideological propaganda, Lemmy is a social network just like any other.

The thing is they are mostly vegetarian. They don’t NEED to eat you, they just enjoy it.

Actually it’s called the Doro plant, Doritos are it’s fruits.

That’s because it is either a bot or CharGPT generated.
