NounsAndWords,

Seems like a good thing to massively protest.

NounsAndWords,

This would explain the other article I saw about a US-Clooney $20 billion arms deal.

NounsAndWords,

I only have the one tone and it’s apparently the wrong one…

NounsAndWords,

I mean, it would probably be a good opportunity for a handful of really rich people to further their control and ownership globally…so as long as our billionaire overlords value human life over their own personal power we should be good.

NounsAndWords,

And if you try long enough, maybe you can identify someone else’s idea to steal and profit from!

NounsAndWords,

To quote Ron White “It’s not that the wind’s blowin’, it’s hwhat the wind’s blowin’”

NounsAndWords,

The many biographical accounts of her life, from the eighteenth century onwards, include stories of her winning several duels with the sword—on one occasion with three noblemen in the same evening, after she kissed a young woman at a ball—and beating the singer Louis Gaulard Dumesny after he insulted the other women at the Opera.[1] She continued to wear men’s clothes in public and had relationships with both men and women.[4][5]

NounsAndWords,

My favorite that trips people up is “nine times out of a hundred”

NounsAndWords,

It’s embarrassingly cheap to buy a member of the US Supreme Court.

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

NounsAndWords,

Perhaps there is some line between assuming infinite growth and declaring that this technology that is not quite good enough right now will therefore never be good enough?

Blindly assuming no further technological advancements seems equally as foolish to me as assuming perpetual exponential growth. Ironically, our ability to extrapolate from limited information is a huge part of human intelligence that AI hasn’t solved yet.

NounsAndWords,

No clue? Somewhere between a few years (assuming some unexpected breakthrough) or many decades? The consensus from experts (of which I am not) seems to be somewhere in the 2030s/40s for AGI. I’m guessing accuracy probably will be more on a topic by topic basis, LLMs might never even get there, or only related to things they’ve been heavily trained on. If predictive text doesn’t do it then I would be betting on whatever Yann LeCun is working on.

NounsAndWords,

GPT-2 came out a little more than 5 years ago, it answered 0% of questions accurately and couldn’t string a sentence together.

GPT-3 came out a little less than 4 years ago and was kind of a neat party trick, but I’m pretty sure answered ~0% of programming questions correctly.

GPT-4 came out a little less than 2 years ago and can answer 48% of programming questions accurately.

I’m not talking about mortality, or creativity, or good/bad for humanity, but if you don’t see a trajectory here, I don’t know what to tell you.

NounsAndWords,

I think the dream has become so far off and unachievable that the material representations of it (houses, cars, parties) replace the actual goal itself. We’ve put the cart so far in front of the horse that we’ve forgotten the actual purpose of the cart.

NounsAndWords,

I thought they must be photoshopped…but then I messed around with it just now for, like, a minute:

NounsAndWords,

Overall job satisfaction among U.S. employees increased a modest 0.4 percentage points in 2023 from the year prior, according to the Conference Board’s annual Job Satisfaction survey released this month. A 62.7% majority of respondents reported being content at work last year, the highest share since the survey began in 1987.

But that record doesn’t tell the whole story: Worker sentiment fell across all 26 subcomponents of job satisfaction measured in the poll, which collected responses online from 1,699 working U.S. adults in November.

Wat?

NounsAndWords,

Does he get extra prison for further exposing the unfairness of the system by being imprisoned for this bullshit?

NounsAndWords,

Imagine rolling into work, being shuttled to your desk, and suddenly being shuttled to your bosses office without any warning. (Unless you’re a manager, then please stop imagining that you sick fuck).

NounsAndWords,

We actually went with Mandy Moore’s earlier hit show: Sheriff Callie’s Wild West.

NounsAndWords,

Is that what I’m supposed to do? Because instead of that I have watched Frozen 1, 2, Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, Frozen Fever, and Once Upon A Snowman approximately 1,752 times.

NounsAndWords,

Who do they imagine is going to enforce any of this?

NounsAndWords,

Quiet? Polite? Easily ignored? Those are the protesters they like.

NounsAndWords,

I’ve always felt Green is Science, Blue is Math, Red is English

NounsAndWords,

I think it was just a contrivance to both make a sport for the books while also allowing the Main Character to automatically be the most important person all the time (like basically everything else in the books).
