  • Oh yeah, they'll say absolutely crazy shit about anything that is underrepresented in the training corpus, endlessly remixing what little was previously included therein. This is one reason LLMs are such a plague for cutting-edge science, particularly if any related crackpot nonsense has been snorted up by their owner's web scrapers.

    Poisoning would be a piece of cake.

  • The only reason teal named the company Palantir is because HitlerPhone would've been too on the nose

  • Some AI company waving a big donation outside of the spotlight? Dorks trying to burnish their resumes?

    Ya gotta think it's going to lead to a rebellion.

  • Douglas Adams once identified these guys as a class of prostitute, then cleverly wrote it in a funny book so that no one would get mad at him.

  • Off topic: really enjoying Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast at the moment. Listened to the French Revolution and am now in the midst of the July Revolution.

  • In my experience, stimulants mean more self-control!

    ADHD is a broad church, but most of us generally show reduced dopaminergic activity around the frontal lobe, which can manifest, as an example, executive dysfunction. The right stimulant medication at the proper dosage helps balance that out. My unmedicated brother can drink a latte and go to sleep immediately.

    Gambling, browsing, etc feel good for the same reason, and I will never touch casinos, cocaine or street meth because I suspect that it'd ruin me.

  • Curious what a study on relative AI uptake by Parkinson's patients and my fellow adhd'ers looks like. The same dopaminergic systems whose underperformance drives symptoms also makes us more likely to get hooked on gambling than average.

    Edit: also, AI-to-cocaine is the new cloud-to-butt

  • Ha, glad to hear that the Onion is making it!

    Sorry about my poorly specified post! My complaint was aimed more at Jeff Bezo's bizzare idea that people who go out of their way to pay money to to a legacy media newspaper want ai slop rather than human-curated investigative journalism.

    Google gives out slop for free. Why pay for it?

  • Do studio executives universally suffer from aphantasia or what?

  • Why do they think people buy newspapers in 2025? Good god
