Machines trained to bullshit.
Only now would people think they should be given power...
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

When we say someone is full of beans, what kind of beans are we talking?
Coffee?
Fava?
Cocoa?
Kidney?
Jelly?

One of the more maddening parts of the generative AI bubble is that, for it to make sense, it would have to have the combined value of both the smartphone market (around $500bn) and enterprise software (>$250bn) market...combined, and that's effectively what they're promising! Total flimflam

"I want to support indie creators, but I dont have the money for it."

Good news! Support is not at all limited to financial contributions!

Give that book a glowing review.

Invite your friends to play that cool game.

Hoot and holler about how much you love that movie.

Hype the good shit up!

When did people lose the ability to recognize that speakerphone in public is incredibly, unconscionable rude?

Can we make this punishable by a smack in the back of the head?

Amazing.

This is a listing of all official #GovernmentOfCanada social media accounts. Not a single one is on @bsky.app

WAAAAY too many are on Twitter.
The gov. should at the very least deactivate all those Twitter accounts.

The US imports $293M of Canadian dairy, now getting 250% tariff.

Sound like a lot? It isn't!

Canada produces $10B of dairy, and imports $1B of US dairy.

TL/DR: This isn't really a problem for us, dumbass.
