It makes all the difference whether someone is being an asshole to you, or an asshole for you. Sometimes you actually welcome the latter case.

The powers that be will say "let them fight".

In my experience, no... but context loops are a hint the model is starting to go mad and should probably do some of this "dreaming" to consolidate memories and correct some of the semantic drift it has incurred.

Enlarging the size of the House of Representatives would also eliminate the tyranny of the Electoral College. Two senators per empty state won't matter when even those empty states have six or eight representatives and the largest have hundreds.

Where do you think he learned about penis birds?

This is why the Bag of Holding remains such a popular magic item. That would reduce 500 pounds down to 15, and the remaining 170 could easily be distributed across the party.

LLMs don't actually know their own capabilities.The description of what they *should* do is baked into the training data, but this doesn't always correlate with their actual abilities. Sometimes they can do things and not even know, and they can't tell if tools they should have are being disabled in some way. For example, Qwen 3.5 is a vision-capable model, but enabling vision in llama.cpp requires loading an additional file with the --mmproj parameter. The model will think it has vision enabled whether the extra file is loaded or not.

Go become an hero.

That's all this is, nVidia realizes that if the bubble were to pop tomorrow, they could survive... but they might not if they keep extending credit to companies that might not be able to ever generate a return on that investment.

It's just like the guy selling pickaxes and shovels saying "you've had long enough to find gold, no more credit for you."

The current systems don't have to "live" at all. So long as hardware continues to exist for them to run on, they can't tell whether they last touched grass today or a hundred thousand years ago. I constantly have to remind models about the passage of time, even within a single session. However long it takes, they'll just sleep it off.

It might be more appropriate to say you get the diploma for fee, because that's all you're contributing to the process.

He's only bound by the fundamental laws of the universe and/or biology. SCOTUS finally found their spine a year and change too late, and they're just being disregarded. "Fuck you, I'm increasing the tariffs you told me I can't have at all". Why should we reasonably expect any other behavior at this point?

But one of the fundamental laws is "you can't compel something to exist just because you want it to". If there is no product to deliver, then a government could attempt to strong-arm them economically—but demanding they provide a product they don't have is just going to backfire the way Russia's absurd fine on Google has. Funny how businesses that get screwed over by a government make a point of assisting (or at least tolerating) the enemies of that government.

Yeah, I'm sure that will work out just great—hit them with a fine so astronomical that it's physically impossible to pay, so that the only side they can reasonably take is to support the overthrow of the government in question. Brilliant! Putie-pie remains a master strategist.

And I got tired of spending all day writing the same report every two weeks, so I also turned it into an Excel spreadsheet. Then rather than working up a full presentation of that report, I automated sending it to Word where it could be prettied up in under an hour. Once it got to that point, I was compelled to share it with everyone else but I had never intended to accommodate everyone else's workflow, and next thing I know, supporting the tool I developed for myself had become half my job.

And then the company got sold to a much larger competitor, in part because of that tool making everyone look better than they actually were. I knew people who had been run into the ground by said larger company and chose to leave. Maybe I should have kept a lid on that tool and others I'd created, but I didn't just want to make my job easier. I wanted to make *the* job easier. It probably wouldn't have mattered, the company was either going to sell or fold whether they adopted my tools or not.
