“Make out” makes out so many things.

“Here come the test results: ‘You are a horrible person’. That’s what it says, ‘a horrible person’. We weren’t even testing for that!”

Jobs being made obsolete by new technology is one thing.

Artists having their works taken and profited off of without consent, attribution, or compensation is another.

You fart continuously while using it.

I could fit if I didn’t have these damned arms!

The output of a LLM is analogous to re-saving an image as a lo res JPEG. Data is being processed and altered using statistics, but nothing “new” is being created, only lower quality derivatives. That’s why you can’t train a LLM on the output of a LLM.

Thank you for your submission, but we already have an excellent example.

They look like they’re posing for their album cover.

Because it’s not intended to be persuasive. The point is to make the speaker feel good, and look good in the eyes of those that already agree. It’s fundamentally selfish, self serving, and dishonest.

“One cannot reign innocently… Every king is a rebel and a usurper.”

Chalmers: May I see one?

Pichai: No.

Water leak behind the paint.

McConnell, now nearing his 82nd birthday, is determined to fund the Ukrainian war effort, a push his allies have depicted as legacy-defining.

Sorry, Mitch, but that ship has sailed. Your legacy as “Trump’s penis butler” is cemented for all time. Nothing else you do, or did, counts. Nothing you accomplished matters. If you’re remembered at all it will be as a craven traitor.

This popped up over the weekend on my work PC. It was an emergency and I absolutely needed to get to my desktop ASAP.

Nope. Full screen advertisement for Windows 11 demanding my immediate and undivided attention. Blocking all other functions, commands, and inputs. I must interact with this ad or else I cannot use my computer.

Fuck. That.

I am never installing Windows 11. I am never buying another Microsoft operating system. Specifically because of this sort of heavy-handed dark patterned bullshit. Not to mention the fact that Windows 10 is dog shit.
