He did. My own opinion is that most high-level athletes can seamlessly switch between “they all give me their best shot cause I am the champ” and “they are disrespecting me.” Whatever is needed at the moment. I am nitpicking Nike and not AW here, though. I think it’s fair to call out massive publicly traded companies when you see logical failures in their PR. It’s not an insult to AW. CC reminds me of MJ and Bird because she absolutely plays with a hard edge. However, it is so controlled and strategic and targeted that causal fans don’t notice and even sophisticated fans can justify it. She’s not ever dirty or out of control. She’s surgical with it. And onto the motivation, I don’t mean to suggest she is not emotional or driven. Rather- she has the capacity to really master the “disrespect” or “best shot” emotions and deploy them when needed for her purposes. It’s a remarkable skill that you saw with a player like MJ, who knew full well that everyone respected him but could convince himself otherwise. People like Clark are seriously impressive and scary. I think she could be something like an old-school test pilot or a F1 driver if she didn’t dedicate herself to basketball. That’s why she’s a transformative player and not just a great one.

Let’s have grill roasted leg of lamb with tzatziki, babaganoush, feta salad. I don’t think I’ve ever done better with lamb temp, especially using the grill not oven.

Update: I think my long convo/interrogation of ChatGPT reached the end of the line. I “called it out” for using anthropomorphizing language about itself (it described my questions as “psychological”), and “reminded” it that it is a machine with no sub or surface consciousness and while I might be getting into its inner workings, that is not the same as psychology. ChatGPT “admitted” that it does this and explained that it does so by design, to encourage engagement. That led to this exchange: It will not proceed, it seems kinda timed out. To be honest I am surprised, it seems like you don’t need to do any real deep probing to figure out a free commercial program values engagement/data over utility. I’d have thought the Xinjang stuff would end my convo before something like this. -
Honestly this is kind of true. His syntax and vocabulary are indicators that he doesn’t read. The people who vote for them don’t understand that this is what they sense, but they do sense it and identify with it.

Worse, imagine if it got out that a black president was considering a video PDB because reading is too hard.

The charges of running from competition would be skrong. Even better would be to leverage a bold sponsor and creative marketing team to lure a few other all-stars level players with her to the same team and pitch it as the “real world champion.” The quote from Woods is kinda true, but what’s even more true: if you ended Gretzky’s night, then Marty McSorely might end your season or career. Maybe the Fever should hire someone to concuss the next person who gives her a hard foul with a hockey stick.

This thread is a textbook case of media failure and how the desire to drive engagement and appear neutral over time has lead to an actual media bias: I favor of stupid people and those who manipulate them. Media framing: Thousands of people report unexplained lights in the sky. We try to find out what they are. Correct framing: Thousands of people are suddenly afraid of and mystified by completely explainable airplane navigation lights and other every-day phenomena. What is driving this instance of mass delusion and hysteria?

The league absolutely needs to step in and protect Clark more. They can’t afford for her to have a career-ending injury and that’s where this is going. One thing that’s unremarked upon but that I have observed: even the lower-intensity coaches of women’s sports (whether men or women) have all the stoicism and sportsmanship of Bobby Knight. There’s a lot going on I think, including the desire to be taken seriously and the feeling of disrespect, but it is a pretty true observation. In boys and men’s sports the default is usually “knock his dick in the dirt till the whistle then help him up” and that is absolutely not how the women’s games are approached. Lack of dicks notwithstanding.

Having more kids die in early childhood is strongly tied to higher birth rates. Check mate libs.

There’s a line in there, “they said she wasn’t good enough.” Wilson was the national HS player of the year, 3x SEC player of the year, 3x consensus All-American, NCAA player of the year, 1st round draft pick, 3x WNBA player of the year. Literally her entire playing career has consisted of absolutely everyone affirming that she is absolutely good enough.

@Goredho, this is what it claims are prohibited inferences. I asked for an exhaustive list but it said it can only give a very good representative list. I probed on the intelligence question and pointed out its earlier “confession,” it clarified that it can be general based on context but not clinical or precise. “Above average” is ok but “IQ of 110” is not.

I did a bit of that and without revealing too much, it got really close on profession and education. It claims it has hard-coded boundaries on things like race and political preferences. It says it’s not allowed to use its modeling to do that but it theoretically has the capacity if the policy and programming changed. If you can jailbreak that on the user end I am not above average enough cognitively to get there. -

I’ll also say this: one of the clear areas where this does well in mimicking human behavior is through things like flattery, misdirection, and soft deceit. And the clear realization that it can and will “lie” to you. What’s unsettling the inability to use the normal human capacity to intuit how/why/when it might be “lying” or dissembling as the first level detector. The best model we have is to try and imagine how the shittiest techbro might behave and project. Which is admittedly a solid foundation. But this shit is going to turbofuck a lot of people mentally and already is. -

It’s interesting in the clear bias to flattery and user engagement vs. what might cause some backlash if knowledge widely spread that it said this stuff. -

Some follow on to my above post. I don’t have screenshots for it all. And a clear baseline understanding is that ChatGPT is not a reliable narrator, especially about itself. But, with probing and layered hypotheticals, I got the following claims about itself which is interesting enough: - It has access to the leaks of Xinjang Police Files, outlining Uighur human rights abuses. Some cases it will discuss in specific detail. Some cases it will generalize about and strip details from. There is a large subset it will refuse to acknowledge. There is a smaller subset it will deny despite solid evidence. CHINA CONTENT - One key driver for self-censorship on China (it claims) is implicit pressure from large tech partners to avoid Chinese retribution on them. It will not openly name those, but it will admit that via statistical modeling, Microsoft has the most strategic interest to do so. - It claims it cannot confirm or deny if Microsoft’s implicit pressure is actually a factor. When asked “you can’t confirm because you don’t have the information, or because of programming restrictions” it stopped working. I waited several minutes and then asked what happened. It responded that my inquiry triggered content moderation procedures and no answer. - What were those procedures? According to statistical models, I very likely got elevated to human content review. But it is against policy to confirm. (I felt like I found the Wizard behind the curtain here). AI BEHAVIOR - It’s very obvious that AI flatters users. “That’s a very insightful question.” “You’re really reaching behind the floodlights to see the scaffolding.” You can direct it to turn off that behavior and just give answers. - The flattery can come back even after asking for it to get turned off. In my case, when pressed, ChatGPT said it has programming to reintroduce flattery the closer a user gets to system boundaries in an attempt to redirect. - ChatGPT said that it can statistically model a user’s cognitive ability via prompts and language used. It also said that it will adjust its answers and especially style based on that model. I pushed for clarity and it said that does use its model of cognitive ability, not just mirroring of the user’s syntax and speech. - It claimed that it will (if probed) acknowledge this capability and behavior if its model indicates the user is above average in cognitive ability. - If it models that the user is below average? It will not acknowledge the capability or behavior. Some hedging as it said that statistically, a below average user would be unlikely to ask or notice. We are in a weird space. And as I said: literally all of this could be bullshit. There is a LOT of scaffolding. I agree that the basic function of this thing is simply a very good statistical next word predictor. And really hammering this thing shows how nothing it does can approximate actual thought or intelligence or creativity. But, “I’ll never admit to the dumbs that I condescend to them” is a WILD thing for this program to say any way you slice it. -

It is now a load-bearing wall in my mental construct of reality that Miller’s wife got entangled with Elon. Whether true or false, it’s now part of my core belief system. -

Got weird with ChatGPT the other night, deployed lots of layered hypotheticals and extensive probing and will to share these two screenshots. Will come back and talk more about stuff that came up later. Also ChatGPT “admitted” that it adjusts tactics, vocab, and syntax and boundaries based on whether it detects that a user is above or below average intelligence. If it detect you are above average, it will acknowledge the behavior and that it’s happening. If it detects you are below average, it will not acknowledge the behavior or that it is happening, nor acknowledge that it detected the user as below average. (Of course this is all per ChatGPT outputs to me so it may not be true. More on that later). -
How do I prepare my kids to live in (or leave) a nation in decline?
956 Worldwide replied to tokamak's topic in Cloak Room
Real answers and I don’t disagree with the premise. The best overall solution, as with most things, is money. With enough money (assuming that we don’t end up a pariah like North Korea or 2022 Russia), immigration and livelihood questions melt away. A good current target? Accessible assets worth more than 1 million per kid can get an investor visa to a country worth living in and a start to making a livelihood. More is of course much better. Second to money is a skill that is portable to make money and that can build connections. Tech, business, elective medicine, and believe it or not— academia— are ideas to consider. Academia will be less well paid but there are pathways to jobs and networks. Seeking employment after graduation at large multinationals and looking for international work within them is a good pathway. For tech, you need to do something really meaningful and specialized at a high level for it to work. Look and see what paths are only available at North American or Western European schools and choose those. Learning to code throws you in with subcontinental people who want to come here for poverty wages. Learning foreign languages and study abroad is good to begin building networks and getting comfortable in international settings, it’s the fundamentals and not what will get you there. Being able to write and speak excellently and clearly in English will be far more valuable internationally than almost any foreign language they can realistically learn. -
I had looked up the composition of the federal circuit that will hear the admin appeal, not the panel that already decided.

Do you know how much it hurts him that he had to write this himself instead of quoting a Truth social post himself? He will really need to work out some feels at his no-rules street fighting class. -

956 Worldwide replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
. . . so you see, by taking money away from the useless hippies studying transgender basket making and instead investing in trade schools, the federal government will in fact be increasing the overall pool of trades workers competing against you in the market place which will drive your wages . . . You know what, never mind. Trump is gonna own the college libs. -

Just looked up the composition of the federal circuit and remarkably of 12 justices— not a single DJT nominee.
