I’m guessing it’s because their existing line of business (image generation) has been commoditized by the hyperscalers’ image models, and there’s no longer any reason for anyone to pay for Midjourney.

we don’t actually need human-like AI for paperclip maxxing

This bit is true though; capitalism is already doing a fine job of paperclip maxxing.

Probably 2 in 5 ddg searches are worthless for me, but trying again on Google rarely if ever helps. Usually, both are returning SEO slop or Product™️ rather than the thing I was looking for.

All of complainer’s posts on that issue are clearly LLM-written.

I don’t think it’s actually going to be doing a lot of LLMing. It has a coprocessor for inference type stuff, but only 8GB of RAM on the SOC. So I assume they just stuck this in for marketing.

Personally, I enjoy talking about goblins.

Dimethylmercury is extremely toxic and dangerous to handle. Absorption of doses as low as 0.1 mL can result in severe mercury poisoning.

The symptoms of mercury poisoning may be delayed by months, resulting in cases in which a diagnosis is ultimately discovered, but only at a point in which it is too late or almost too late for an effective treatment regimen to be successful.

A Twitterer tweets a challenging game-theory question:

The incentive structure makes it not a challenging game theory question - the game-theoretically optimal solution is both very obvious and obviously morally depraved (selecting red). It’s actually a Voight-Kampff test.

I mean, it’s a banger of a song.

Over here, measles hits mostly kids, but if anything, the new measles epidemic seems to have made antivaxxers double down.

I will say that Yogthos seems to be unique—the Marxist-Leninists I observe elsewhere seem to pretty much universally despise LLMs, and on the Red side of the fediverse his posting is usually met with confusion.

ProofOfConcept may not be sentient now, but once we figure out how to put programming socks on her, the +2 coding bonus will put her over the top.

Should I be worried that this is on the bcachefs domain? I already don’t use bcachefs for other reasons.

Notes that I thought about related to this, just some context:

1. Joshua Sutter is the son of the owner of the former Southern Patriot Shop in South Carolina. He founded the Tempel ov Blood chapter of the Order of Nine Angles, a Neo-Nazl Satanist group. He was outed in 2021 as having been a federal informant since 2005, which is to say he still does the same Nazi shit, but gets paid by the FBI to do it.

2. One of the core practices of the O9A is entryism into other groups, especially other cultish ones. In that context, you’d kind of be surprised to not see O9A people in Rat circles.

Every time an LLM-related package appears on ELPA I die a little more inside.

I learned too much and started having (more) trouble getting out of bed in the morning, does that count?

And Wrong Genre Savvy.

I regard it simply as a place to park my resume, and periodically get emails about open positions I might want to apply for. I don’t think I have ever read a post on the social side of it, and I certainly haven’t posted there.
