Thank you for posting this. I had no fucking clue what this was about but after reading that summary I immediately thought bear would be the answer. It makes sense because human men are more than just trying to survive - there’s a higher cognitive thinking and humans are fucked up so more than likely a man would result in psychological trauma on a personal level that is worse than whatever the bear would do.
U.S. airlines are suing to block the Biden administration from requiring greater transparency over fees that the carriers charge their passengers, saying that a new rule would confuse consumers by giving them too much information during the ticket-buying process....
It would be sad if we all brought lawsuits against each airline for lying about their prices saying we will pay one thing and then getting charged a bunch more for things we weren’t told about up front. How sad that would be.
Google is coming in for sharp criticism after video went viral of the Google Nest assistant refusing to answer basic questions about the Holocaust — but having no problem answer questions about the Nakba.
…so we’ll probably never know the scope or why it only happened with the word “Jew”.
Google has been studying natural language processing, n-grams, and semantics for years now. There’s no way they don’t have this data already baked into their AI.
I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I’m accidentally disparaging when I don’t mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I’ll start:...
The existence of bait and switch schemes may also be evidenced by the following factors: whether in fact there were a significant number of sales of the advertised product at the advertised price;
Adding on hidden taxes and fees is debatably not providing the advertised price. Maybe? I don’t know.
Russia attacked with airstrikes in Vilcha, Liptsy, Liman, Izbitskoye, Veseloye, Petrovka, Kazachya Lopan, Sinelnikovo, Volchansk in Kharkiv, according to an assessment from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
They’ve probably got enough machine learning to take keywords and figure out intent. That’s essentially what Google does with autocomplete. They (Google) use n-grams. So I expect OpenAI already has this all figured out.

What worries me is AI getting things wrong and perpetuating lies that are also made up via AI (maybe even the same AI). Also, how will their algorithm work? Do they fact check things they display? I hate Google, but at least they do have somewhat of a push to ensure authority and trust via their algos.
Well, they could potentially pull from various sources to make a cohesive answer. Right now Google’s SGE (search generative experience, their AI in organic search) pulls one source to answer and then offers some other links that also answer the same question.
I completely agree with you though. Shit is getting worse for no reason other than $$$$$$$
It bugs me when people say “the thing is is that” (if you listen for it, you’ll start hearing it… or maybe that’s something that people only do in my area.) (“What the thing is is that…” is fine. But “the thing is is that…” bugs me.)...
I’m not certain if this is what you were getting at, but these are mine:
An historical - It doesn’t follow the general way of using a or an with consonants and vowels. Nor does it change the meaning if I said a historical (event) instead an historical (event).
Fewer and less. I understand that there is a rule, but the rule is fucking dumb. If I say there are less people or if I say there are fewer people - the end result is the same that there isn’t as much as there was before.
Language is fluid. As long as we understand the meaning of what is being said then who cares?
I understood what you were saying! I am fewer irritated. I would personally use less, because it sounds better in this instance, but totally agree. Not sure how I’d put a number to my irritation though. I am not a robot, so my irritation isn’t exactly a quantifiable scale.
