If you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world stays the same. Two or more though, and you’re net positive.

If I could see any practice from my time working food service make it into the general population, it would be “Behind” and “Heard”.
Oh, she must hear the train coming
I dunno. Obviously individual LLMs are basically sophisticated parrots and are unlikely to develop to AGI on their own. However, a lot of work is being done in combining multiple specialized LLMs. As unlikely as it is for direct LLM improvement to lead to true AI, I think it’s not terribly unlikely that some particular assemblage of many specialized LLMs could achieve the complexity necessary for AGI.
Narwhal moustache bacon! lol so random
I’ve heard that it means pints and quarts, referring to beers. I feel like I’ve also heard it was a typesetter thing.
Mixture of experts is the future of AI. Breakthroughs won’t come from bigger models, it’ll come from better coordinated conversations between models.
Book: Illuminatus
Comic: Invisibles
Technically they’re both series, but I read each one bound as a single book so I’m counting it.
The same basic encounter can have different effects in different contexts.
Maybe clearing the bandits is how you find a stolen artifact that helps you clear the forbidden temple. Fighting the same enemy in a back alley has different consequences from doing it in the busy street. The ogre down path A might be mechanically identical to the one down path B, but they’re from rival tribes.
It can definitely be used incorrectly, but there are lots of ways for that non-choice to really be a meaningful choice.
Gotta stop going high. We know their tactics, we know how their brains work. We need to stop trying to devastate them with irrefutable facts, they don’t care. Turn their own methods against them, destroy them in their language. The left has better trolls and meme lords, let’s use them.
Probably wouldn’t do that, capitalists are heavily invested in Student Loan Asset-Backed Securities (SLABS), basically the same as '08’s famous Mortgage Backed Securities but backed by student loans instead of mortgages. Whatever they would do in regards to student loans would be much more malicious against those who owe them
Don’t give them ideas
On a scale of total novice to master, 1 to 10, I’d say I average about a 3. Handily capable compared to the layperson, but unremarkable compared to other hobbyists. I do have a lot of hobbies though
You can mostly opt out by bugging out to the woods to homestead. Taking advantage of the many amenities of society is opting in. “The state” is just your neighbors, and their neighbors, etc, extrapolated out to the whole country. Despotic governments don’t just appear from the aether, they are established and staffed by someone’s neighbors.
If you lock them up for a crime they did not commit? Yeah. It’s called “damages” and it’s a well established legal concept.
How annoying was that? My last landlord claimed some pretty indefensible justifications for keeping our deposit (among other things, $300 to “sweep and vacuum the attic”) but I’m not convinced that I’ll actually wind up ahead if I’m missing work to go to court.
I believe most religions started as good faith (no pun intended) attempts at roughly the same thing: contextualization of the metaphysical order of the universe.
Like the parable of the unseen elephant, God is a concept beyond true human perception, and every religion is like a man groping in darkness at one aspect of the bigger picture. When we approach the subject with a perspective informed by each of these outlooks, we develop a more diverse and comprehensive conceptualization of Order. Even better when we compare these outlooks to find overlap where most tend to agree.
What are they thinking, owners make the most money.
