Comment "trust default"? (Score 2) 60

undermine our trust default -- that is, that we believe communication until we have some reason to disbelieve," said Jeff Hancock, founding director of the Stanford Social Media Lab. "That's going to be the big challenge, is that for a while people are really going to not trust things they see in digital spaces. I wish!

Comment their new XPS sucked, whatever you call it (Score 1) 48

I ordered my wife the latest dell premium (assuming it was the same as an old xps) for xmas, sent it back almost immediately. had a mac like power button she couldn't figure out how to turn it on, had capacitive row of ugly light up function keys at the top, separate from the main keyboard. it was an atrocity. Ordered lenovo x1 carbon, and its better anyway, it weighs like 30% less she loves how light it is. XPS is dead to me. fire whatever marketing department came up with this shit.

Comment "USED CHATGPT TO WIN THE LOTTERY" (Score 1) 84

aka... won the lottery. using chatgpt to generate random numbers is the same as rolling dice (probably less random actually.) dumb headline, dumb person, and now even more dumb people probably reading shit like this thinking chatgpt is an oracle. keep in mind - 54% of the US reads below a 6th grade level. chatgpt is like a god damned genius compared to most americans already. they probably think its a god already. i can't wait for the cults.

they already did man. do you see any BYD cars in the US? its already illegal because of "security". apparently they're not even illegal in the UK, which is hilarious to me that the US is now removing EV incentives while banning cheaper ones. we want to lose.

we're taking away agency of people by implying that an LLM will make them do bad things. People need to understand LLM hallucinations are an issue. If they don't understand that then it doesn't matter which one they use. the workplace should not provide them if their employees don't understand this. I see constant stories about lawyers submitting fake LLM generated court cases, those lawyers should be punished because they are still accountable for their work. if you're talking about how much the model hallucinates, that's important about the quality of the model, if you're "red teaming" and getting it to say "naughty" things. It's not relevant and its just a parlor trick.

most appliances just add a dummy mode that is on by default and operates and way worse performance to game the system. ever see a friends TV that they didn't bother disabling the eco mode and it just super dark and you can't see things properly? also receivers often have a default "eco mode" that just throttles power and makes it perform badly when your speakers put on a demanding load. Its just gaming the system in a lot of cases and they're just bullshitting to get the rating.
