You cut the foreskin off the penis for aesthic purposes.

Try again.

Yeah see that is what I couldn’t figure out, but it lines up.

It’s not how I would generate anything other than text and certainly not any sort of medical treatment

… is it a virus generated by LLMs, or a virus designed by a model explicitly trained on viruses?

The worst damage LLMs do is when the term AI is automatically rejected by people who don’t understand it.

And that might be intentional.

Anecdotally I know a guy that was, errr, sensitive, about his size. When his son was born, he was horrified to learn his son was too small to be circumsized (btw, good fuck genital mutilation).

The kid’s mother commented that he is fooling no one about why that shocked him.

If I say my orange’s name in the other end of the house, he comes running to me yowling along the way.

The only thing I’ve figured out is that he recognizes that I’m not closeby him and he panics lol.

If he doesn’t come and I can’t find him, I know he’s sick or stressed. Only happened a handful of times over the past 13 years. If I’m away for a few days and he’s got a sitter, that is usually the biggest trigger.

He really needs a companion cat, but thats hard at 14.

I mean, fine. But its easier to fix human written slop over AI slop solely because of the sheer volume of AI slop.

In capable hands. Is the real issue. Too many people believe they are capable hands.

o.O my budget can be requested up to $2k/month.

$29/month is like… not using it lol

Maybe I’ll start asking the spam calls this

I hate that they repurposed Ai and started using GenAI.

GenAI is marketing genius (if marketing can be called genius) because its a useful abbreviation for GenerativeAI AND General AI.

Artificial Intelligence also never meant actual intelligence. Just computing tasks typically associated with human intelligence.

AI requires input. Its just like every other mathematical function in existence. You provide data to the function and you get data back. Lots of data is used to build the function. The more complex the function is, the more effort is required to calculate the result.

Its INFURIATING to me that they used terms like “thinking” for LLMS. They don’t think, they calculate. Text prompt goes in -> processed into token represented numbers -> numbers are entered into the function -> the algorithm calculates the best response token -> the algorithm continues to calculate the likelihood of subsequent tokens until pre-configured bounds are met.

This is why raw LLMs consistently respond with acknowledgement of the prompt, followed by praise of something in the prompt. The models are trained on (neurotypical) human social interactions.

They can’t even be called synthetic intelligence.

Well, yeah. It’s usually not the principal that gets out of hand anyway. It’s always the interest that gets ya.

Man. I’ll tell you, looking around the desktop training hardware that nVidia now sells, they better fear that their business models are toast.

If nVidia walks away from all this stupid wealthy, fine. The hardware we can give each engineer is worth it.

Edit: For late arrivals to this if you’re curious why someone anti-LLM could be happy with this - its because the hardware is model agnostic. Whatever data and training algorithm you give it, it will be able to work with it. That expands the domain beyond signal generation (what Generative AI does) and gives engineers the ability to feed data intensive problems to it that we have long desired to make sense of.

Errrr… who do you think I’m referring to as authoritarians? It’s certainly not socialists or anarchists.

They even took my lunesta away from me :(

Do doctors even prescribe benzos outside of like super short term use, anti-seizure medication or procedures?

The most successful ones are stimulants yes. But methamphetamine is neurotoxic, and seldomly perscribed (though remains an option for reasons unbeknownst to me). The stimulants Methylphenidate ADHD Amphetamine salts are neuroprotective. But there’s also non-stimulants like amoxitine, guanfacine, clonidine, and bupropion, which are not neurotoxic.

Undoubtedly. I mean normal people don’t worry about being assassinated so much that they try to control the entire population.

They’re authoritarians? That’s not a political disagreement, thats a human rights issue?

Edit: I’m sorry to whoever is offended by this, but having the political stance that anyone else has no say isn’t a political stance, its a problem.

Believe it? No. I mean, its really just phallic humor. Being authoritarian comes from a place of anxiety though, that I believe. Obviously correlation doesn’t equal causation, but every authoritarian ruler in history has been anxious about being removed from power.

Which… clearly makes sense, because they aren’t immortal and doubling down on your oppression only works so many times.

?

I didn’t say they should be, I said they probably are.

Like, we know authoritarians are inherently a detriment to society. I don’t think there is a single example in history where people benefited from authoritarian rule equitably to the ruler. Clearly cognitive dissonance is required to support authoritarians, and cognitive dissonance is a defense mechanism commonly found in anxious disorders. Projection is another one.

Given the focus authoritarians have of defining masculinity on things that have little benefit to any gender, they are projecting insecurity about their own masculinity, and performing all sorts of mental gymnastics to avoid the remaining anxiety.

Mix in a little of phallic humor that has at least existed since ancient times, and one can come up with the idea that they simply are insecure of their penis size.
