  1. I was doing this BEFORE it was genAI nonsense, I swear! Most of my time is spent convincing customers they don't need an LLM and traditional ML modeling is more than sufficient to meet their business problem - AND they can still tell their business they're """using AI""" It's frustrating because there are genuinely useful genAI use cases out there, but there's a much higher volume of snake oil being bought and sold. Not to mention the army of idiot middle managers that don't understand the jobs they manage, so they think they can "just replace everyone with AI!"
  2. [context: I am literally a certified AI/ML specialist and builder and have taken enough high-order math at UT to at least accurately conceptualize what's happening in the black box] The end state of "unable to walk and falling down" is effectively the end-state of a "Hapsburg" model. When you train a model on synthetic data produced by a similar model, you get the same concentration of error effect that is observed in genetics whenever inbreeding happens in a population. In the current and active development state of AI, these LLM companies like Anthropic and Gemini and OpenAI are scraping the internet for ANY data they can, and they don't really care about the provenence of its origin. As a result, the "for-profit" LLM's are getting trained on a heavily poisoned and synthetic dataset that contains a bunch of data that will embed defects into the model and train it to produce worse errors. Not to mention the general problem with model poisoning that Anthropic published a paper on a month or two ago
  3. I'm not unconvinced that a big motivator in buying Twitter was to strategically steer the dialogue to goose TSLA stock prices and further enrich himself with stock price based compensation
  4. Something, something, workplace viollence
  5. the preferred parlance is "Kakistocracy" please
  6. Circuitry components, teeth fillings, aerospace applications, jewelry (which is in itself a "useless" item but try telling my wife that), hell your cell phone has about 20mg of gold in it just in its circuits and traces. Basically every electronic item you own contains gold for component connections and low-resistance traces
  7. +1 for the skycam rewatch - I skipped ahead to the second half and it's a great time
  8. Man I'm glad we won but sark really needs to hire playcallers. We would be IN the playoffs if not for some of his fuckups earlier in the season. His team's ceiling is high, but so is his variance
  9. Is that Barb from rooster teeth? How do they keep showing up in gifs lmao
  10. Why the shotgun from the 3 yard like SARK GODDAMNIT
  11. Short return with penalties, bring on the classics
  12. I do not enjoy the Steve Sarkeesian Experience
  13. God fucking damnit we can't stop stepping on our own fucking dicks. Sark needs to get a fucking pay cut and fix this shit
  14. Missed holding on the Aggy injury play
  15. Ugly ugly offense and officiating
  16. I thought chickensandwich was always just chickensandwich? If he is swam, his boats wifi is WAY more reliable than it used to be
  17. Hah just caught this week's episode, pretty funny with the Hegseth and Saudi sports washing. Gotta love a Turkey Trot
  18. Turned out great and moist and delicious. The truss wasn't that hard to do and the skin was delicious and crispy! Gravy turned out nice with all the root vegetables roasting in the drippings
  19. Brine-thaw update: bird is fully thawed and the thermo read 40F this morning. I tossed in a fresh scoop of ice to keep it below 40 and it's chilling until a little later this afternoon. Really excited to see how it turns out
  20. Gold and silver at least have practical uses and material properties that give them utility. Definitely still speculated upon which drives up the price, but there's actual products and services rendered with gold and silver
