Woah. That’s me, looking at this and typing a comment, right now. I shouldn’t be here. Bye!
Wow, unerwartet! Danke Zuhausi
Woah! Does this one count as orange?
The grammar in these memes 🤦🏻♂️ And why twins? Or is it just one twin, and the “we” is wrong? What… Whatever.

1·20 days ago“Ain’t got no place to lay your head, somebody came and took your bed / Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” Klarer Fall von toxischer Positivität. Er zählt lauter Beispiele für beschissene Situationen im Leben auf, in denen man sich ganz zu Recht bedrückt oder hoffnungslos fühlen kann. Der Ratschlag, sowas doch positiv zu sehen, ist irgendwo zwischen idiotisch, schädlich und herzlos. Der Song ist geil, aber falls der Text ernst gemeint ist (was ich nicht glaube), ist seine Botschaft auch dumm.

I cannot recommend this paper enough. LLMs produce a large amount of bullshit. Also, it’s been clarified that they can never be made to stop the bullshit and only produce truthful output - because the concept of truthfulness is not a part of the way they work. https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.11817 https://arxiv.org/html/2409.05746v1
Today, when people talk about “AI” (a term with no clearly defined meaning, unfortunately), most of them mean LLMs most of the time. But when discussing “AI”, (or making memes about it) we would ideally specify that explicitly…
Indeed, I meant mostly LLMs, but also image generating AIs. I don’t know of they have much in common in the way they work, but what is commonly described as generative AI. They are responsible for A) the hype and B) the horrible bullshit, mayhem and destruction being visited on the world ever since their spread.
That makes it look like AI was striving for functionality. But they are bullshit machines

That’s why she is poly and will bring a bunch more guys into the marriage, take it or leave it




Thank you kind Sir. But acshially… “The word in English was originally spelled gantelope or gantlope,[7] but soon its pronunciation was influenced by the unrelated word gauntlet, meaning an armored glove, derived from the French: gantelet.[1] The spelling changed with the pronunciation.” I.e. not “the same” word, per se. The fact that they are two completely different words, accidentally spelled the same, is the solution to this riddle. And I bet my Austrian pair of buttocks that a majority of native English speakers is unaware of that fact, believing instead that the type of gauntlet in this meme actually has something to do with armored gloves.
