I thought someone behind you flashing their lights meant they approved of what you were doing. Kind of like a "high five" from one car to another! Man, if I don't have people behind me flashing their lights, I always feel like the drive loses some of its sparkle. Fortunately, that rarely...

Nowadays, I'd probably be even more meta with the Egg of Coot (bringing this back to the topic). Make it a memetic hazard. The reason why people describe it in contradictory ways is because the information itself causes havoc in minds: hallucinations, confusion, psychosis, etc. No living...

Whomst'd've had an issue with wording should probably stay out of threads in general.

B But what about the hypocrites -- they're entitled to opinions, too!

In New Jersey, everybody just drives 75 miles an hour -- the police can't pull everyone over.

Fair. I mean, you just made up philosophers. We have no idea what the level of philosophical discourse was between the philosophical Silurians so making it up is understandable, but it fails the test for academic rigor!

History is written by the victors. Victors are usually jerks. Why should I listen to jerks?

It's called "greatness." You're welcome!

I have discovered a truly marvellous solution to the problems which plague online forums, which this margin is too narrow to contain. -- Abraham Lincoln

Better yet, run it in Arduin!

In defense of pedantry -- there's a real danger in allowing people to refer to things in certain ways. In my particular case, I feel like even calling the technology "AI" is dangerous, as it will lead people to treat it a certain way, that they may not if it was referred to as an "LLM". I know...

In my never-run planning for a Blackmoor campaign, I was going to have the Egg of Coot being a space-warp that had some sort of sentience -- not understandable to humans, but it acted with volition ("insane" acts, but still acts). And the "person" referred to as the Egg of Coot was an older...

This would be a marginally-legitimate use. Since the LLM is a predictive model, it could be used to assist language learners, as repetition helps reinforce elements like parts of speech and tenses.

Sorry. I see this a lot online, and it always bugs me and I let myself go.

The answer to that is always money. Either because it was the cheapest bid, or (more likely) people got paid to make it happen.

It didn't attempt to "cover its tracks," it only looks that way to us because humans apply human motivations to nonhuman entities and inanimate objects. It predicted the next words that would fill out the prompt response, based on training data and (possibly) previous responses. It's not acting...

Just so long as I can still bang on about Damage-on-a-Miss, I'm fine!

Well, if she was dead, you couldn't tell her anything...

Tell that to Juliane Koepcke...

I feel seen.
