Yes, they aren’t changing course, but Discord certainly did not say “most” in the announcement and it was a single sentence in a long article about age verification and content gating. They should have been far more upfront about their inference method being the primary one in the first place. This was a communication issue and not a reader issue.

It’s also possible they decided to tune their inference model to be a lot more, let’s say, permissive so that there isn’t a huge backlash of people getting asked to provide ID when they’ve been using the service for nearly a decade or longer.

Sharkord to replace Discord? Sad. Lame. Possibly worse than Stoat.

Nah you’re right, it’s definitely better than Stoat, but both are F-tier.

You know the people who had the files this whole time are the same people that would be the ones doing the arresting right?

How many of these releases do we need to have to realize that the truth being either exposed or rumored doesn’t change anything.

We had the Panama Papers. There was the Snowden leaks. The Chelsea Manning leaks. Hell, the fucking CIA admitted they were secretly drugging civilians with LSD just to see what would happen.

If you are surprised that this time is any different, you aren’t paying enough attention.

Up voting for good discussion.

Yes but it is frighteningly easy to identify users from post history if someone really cares to do it. You either have to never comment about anything personal, including providing your expertise since that can be somewhat unique, or mix in enough bullshit in a way that’s not trivial to separate from the real stuff.

Loving the KOGEP side table / present box / pet cave.

You’ve got sensors for acidity and alkalinity, but water is almost never truly neutral, so for sure you can taste that. You can also taste/smell a bunch of other stuff in water, like salt, other minerals, or chemicals like chlorine.

Humans will anthropomorphize damn near anything. We’ll say shit like “hydrogen atoms want to be with oxygen so bad they get super excited and move around a lot when they get to bond”. I don’t think characterizing the language output of an LLM using terms that describe how people speak is a bad thing.

“Hallucination” on the other hand is not even close to describing the “incorrect” bullshit that comes out of LLMs as opposed to the “correct” bullshit. The source of using “hallucination” to describe the output of deep neural networks kind of started with these early image generators. Everything it output was a hallucination, but eventually these networks got so believable that sometimes they could output realistic, and even sometimes factually accurate, content. So the people who wanted these neural nets to be AI would start to only call the bad and unbelievable and false outputs as hallucinations. It’s not just anthropomorphizing it, but implying that it actually does something like thinking and has a state of mind.

.gs is not one of the currently listed domains. Are you sure that’s a real one?

Put them on ice to slow/sleep them, then slice through the center on the head with a sharp knife.

LOL those pictures make it look like a cheap kids toy.

If it’s their favorite genre surely there are other hits besides this decade old rage bait.

Not faster - less think.

I think it’s literally because rock and stone occupy the same place in people’s brain so they think they’re the same company.

Vanguard and Fidelity don’t really own that stuff. They’re managing the wealth of customers. The funds they have are almost entirely or entirely owned by customers.

Vanguard and Fidelity make money so long as people hold money in their funds. They win pretty much no matter what. The bubble bursting will mean they make less money, but they can’t really lose money because they don’t own the underlying equities.

I have the reverse, I am so used to Excel from work that using Google sheets can be really annoying.

The watchabilty thing actually makes stuff nearly unwatchable for me because I like to, you know, pay attention to the movie I am watching. They have to make the characters so one note and cliche so that half-brains can pick up what’s happening in the film. They beat you over the head with everything but don’t bother closing up plot holes because they think you weren’t paying enough attention to see them.

This one is getting closer to reading like a joke.

Maybe it’s how my brain works, but I’d have way more research to do about a pre-built than building myself one. I’d be worried about warranty and customer service, the build quality, are they using low quality components, and wondering where they are cutting corners.

The Linux distro analogy is a good one though. That’s probably one of the reasons why I still haven’t dipped my toes into Linux is that there’s not an obvious way to go, and everything I read about it assumes this baseline of understanding that I sometimes have and sometimes don’t.

Compatibility is not a real issue imo if you use the tools available to plan the build, such as pcpartpicker. There’s only a couple compatibility things and they aren’t too complicated. After you pick a CPU and GPU, it’s pretty simple to get compatible MB and RAM, big enough power supply, and an SSD. There doesn’t need to be anything more to it.

I don’t really consider building a pc to be a hobby. It’s really nowhere near as much work as people who haven’t done it think, and it really isn’t something you keep doing after it’s done. There’s not maintenance or things to play with all the time, at least no more than with a pre-built.

Maybe a downside is that tech support is up to you, or you have to pay for it. But you’ll be able to go to a local spot of your choosing and will probably still spend less than you would on a pre-built.

Doesn’t need to be. Pick a budget and your priorities, then bang together a shopping list on pcpartpicker. There’s plenty of easy guides and which processor is best for each budget range. Yeah if you’re trying to min/max it can take some time, but I just get the cheapest of every component (except SSD) and it’s been great.
