Wrongly-assumes that LLM’s are intrinsically trustworthy, but some fundamental points, in that…

( also, why doesn’t anyone understand that LLM’s CAN, if not biased-by-design or biased-by-their-programming-data, be THE best websearch means for finding specific useful content??

Nobody seems to be noting that, for some reason…

& the fact that they can translate from Tibetan to English’s glorious, too… )

There is a minimum-amount of fission-fuel required, AND there is a minimum-amount of conventional-explosives required to compress the fission-fuel until it goes supercritical.

That detonator isn’t going to be small-enough to hide in a vest.

Absolute disinformation.

1984: even the language was reduced, so as to reduce thinking…

Republicans & Leninists/Marxists reducing language to their-allowed-terms/their-allowed-meanings … to reduce thinking…

Well, it is effective at producing results…

and THAT is 1 reason why the Dymaxion Map is THE Right Map:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map

( another is simply that you can give kids cardboard Dymaxion-map/globes for them to have, so they can study it for fun, whenever they want, & earn better understanding of the world they’re born-into, without any “big tech” machiavellianism working through the plain tech.

Another is that you can do the landmasses OR the oceans on the thing, as its “center”!

This book clarifies how to solve project-equity-for-contributions sanely, in startups.

It, therefore, also helps with solving how to do equity in FLOSS/OSS projects.

Any project which may in the future be wanting to be paid full-time for some people, please understand that book.

NEVER buy a “kit”, anyways!!

IF 1 single stick is bad, but you bought 4 as a “kit”, now you have to ship ALL 4 back, for RMA!!

ONLY buy single-sticks.

Don’t get burned like I did!

There was one item in the last week or 2, on how one girl “bit the shit out of” Trump’s penis… ( can’t remember if it was a screenshot… I think it was, but not certain )

Having some understanding of how evil like Jeffrey Epstein’s works, & knowing that there are a bunch of girls “buried out back”…

I rather suspect that JE had the other girls bury any girl he/others murdered, to “teach them a lesson”.

Evil’s predictable, once you get the hang of its instinct.

If anybody can find the link to that item, or to the source for that item ( I’ve zero idea where to start, for the source, & searching for stuff on lemmy’s frustrating-as-hell, due to the lack of quality keywording & metadata, etc ), that’d put it before more eyes.

what a world we make.

Excellent article.

I’m suggesting something orthogonal: I’m suggesting specifically rTorrent hosting.

Apparently rTorrent provides the maximum GB served per unit of CPU used, & since seedbox hosting is on such pathetic virtual-machines, this can matter.

The fools who think Trump’s going to pay are wasting their time.

His bankruptcies showed his method, years ago.

His legal machiavellianisms showed his method, since his reelection.

People should be fighting to prevent his successful complete-highjacking of the country, not fighting battles that aren’t strategically-relevant, & that won’t even matter, shortly.

Opportunity to dig-in against his dictatorship is running out, fast.

The AI-rewrite should be considered a derivative, & therefore subject to the parent-license, I believe.

Except that AI doesn’t have any right to copyright, & therefore to licensing.

Which means that it’s just an illegal derivative made by a tool.

Get some AI chatbots to help you identify points for your talk!

& “Presenting to Win” by Weissman, along with his “Questions Under Fire” ( or whatever that’s called ) both are recommended, too.

Get a home-run, Hoomin.

You might want to ask one of your legal people about the liability-exposure you’re collectively in-for, when AI’s “hallucination” gets you cracked/hacked…

To me, the single most-important point is that if YOU or ME sign-off on something, then WE, the INDIVIDUAL have either authored it or vetted it.

That’s untrue, now, & there are consequences of that.

I’d want a leaderboard of people fired for signing-off on AI-slop.

I expect it’d get full, fast, & I expect that at-least 85% of the people hired into knowledge-work would be fired on that rule, simply because the brainwashed population can’t understand why that would ever be a problem,

but if the rule was held-to, through the years, it’d turn into a stupendous competitive-advantage: authenticity & integrity that NO competitor would duplicate.

Just my take…

In writing, it’s simply the most magnificent brainstorming tool ever created.

Idiots using it to substitute-for writing, & just sign-off on whatever is produced, ought never be trusted again, with writing-responsibility.

( IF you’re signing-off on something, THEN you’re responsible for its quality, is the principle )

I think you’re onto something…

using it to corner one into better-quality understanding’s a good use of it.

I think they’re missing something fundamental:

the outer rocky-planet could well have formed closer, but been lobbed out, by gravitational-interaction.

There’s NO reason to believe that every body in a current solar-relative-position “always” was there.

in THAT FONT, on THAT SYSTEM, that may be true.

But to pretend that that is globally-true, is … disingenuous, at best.

& no, maintaining that all valid-people are living in macOS, isn’t honest, either.
