It’s actually kind of worrisome that they have to guess it was his code based on the function/method name. Do these people not use version control? I guess not, they sure as hell don’t do code reviews if this guy managed to get this code into production

My first thought! Although apparently it was designed to end in PvP. One of the best seasons in my book, definitely the top sidequest season.

Honestly puzzled, why is the grocery store so awful? Inflation, or is it a social anxiety thing?

Yeah I see what you mean. There’s a decent argument to be made that something like reasoning appears as an emergent property in this kind of system, I’ll admit. Still, the fact that fundamentally the code works as a prediction engine rules out any sort of real cognition, even if it makes an impressive simulacrum. There’s just no ability to invent, no true novelty, which – to my mind at least – is the hallmark of actual reasoning.

It’s real. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAI_(company)

It’s still an LLM right? I’m going to have to take issue with your use of the word ‘reasoning’ here

aifon

Uff que ortografía doctor

That’s an odd way of spelling “taint tanning”

Eeeh, considering it’s followed by a warning not to feed the mealworms to farm animals, my bet is on “not for human consumption”

But what the crow wants to know is, are you taking avian sex as payment?

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE

Everyone’s ragging on the Christmas retail ambience songs, but at least you can mitigate the risks of hearing those ones by staying the fuck out of shopping malls. My top three:

• Cotton Eye Joe
• Whatever that song is that’s basically just “tonight’s gonna be a good night” over and over
• Danza Kuduro

The Big Lebowski

Hang on, am I reading that correctly? You had nightmares for 7 years?

I think it was rated PG-13, not R

In fact it was rated PG. The resulting backlash, along with a similar situation with Gremlins, directly resulted in the MPAA creating the PG-13 rating.

Wicked Game in my ass

Reverse image search says yes

It’s also kind of a fringe theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1951_Pont-Saint-Esprit_mass_poisoning

The attribution of the poisoning to the CIA in Albarelli’s book has been roundly criticized. Historian Steven Kaplan, author of an earlier book about the events, said that this would be “clinically incoherent: LSD takes effects in just a few hours, whereas the inhabitants showed symptoms only after 36 hours or more. Furthermore, LSD does not cause the digestive ailments or the vegetative effects described by the townspeople.”

To be clear: I have no reason to believe that the CIA circa 1951 wouldn’t or couldn’t pull this kind of stunt, just that the evidence that they in fact did is pretty shaky.

Help me out here, I’m having trouble picturing this. Like… a pair of complete, full-size gazelles? Just fastened to the woman’s torso? If not, which parts?
