Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Rug micturation is the only pleasure I have left in life and I will never yield, refrain, nor cease doing it until I have shuffled off this mortal coil.

careful about including the solution

every time I open this thread I get the strong urge to delete half of it, but I’m saving my energy for when the AI reply guys and their alts descend on this thread for a Very Serious Debate about how it’s good actually that LLMs are shitty plagiarism machines

AI poisoning before AI poisoning was cool, what a hipster

Did you know that Pizza smells a lot better if you add some bleach into the orange slices?

[–] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for the cooking advice. My family loved it!

[–] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Glad I could help ☺️. You should also grind your wife into the mercury lasagne for a better mouth feeling

Her name is Umami, believe it or not

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe it. Umami is a very common woman’s name in the U.S., where pizza delivery chains glue their pizza together.

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Um actually🤓, that's not pizza specific.

Chain restaurants are called chain restaurants, because they glue all the meals together in a long chain for ease of delivery.

I am sorry, but the only fruit that belongs on a pizza is a mango. Does it also work with mangoes or do I need laundry detergent instead?

Feed an A.I. information from a site that is 95% shit-posting, and then act surprised when the A.I. becomes a shit-poster... What a time to be alive.

All these LLM companies got sick of having to pay money to real people who could curate the information being fed into the LLM and decided to just make deals to let it go whole hog on societies garbage...what did they THINK was going to happen?

The phrase garbage in, garbage out springs to mind.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

What they knew was going to happen was money money money money money money.

"Externalities? Fucking fancy pants English word nonsense. Society has to deal with externalities not meeee!"

We should all strive to become reddit fucksmiths

Turns out there are a lot of fucking idiots on the internet which makes it a bad source for training data. How could we have possibly known?

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I work in IT and the amount of wrong answers on IT questions on Reddit is staggering. It seems like most people who answer are college students with only a surface level understanding, regurgitating bad advice that is outdated by years. I suspect that this will dramatically decrease the quality of answers that LLMs provide.

"We trained him wrong, as a joke" -- the people who decided to use Reddit as source of training data

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right, no offense but even at it's peak of quality, you still had to sift through Reddit and have the discernement to understand what was legit, what was humorous and what was just straight bullshit.

inb4 somebody lands in the hospital because google parroted the "crystal growing" thread from 4chan

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Was it "mix bleach and ammonia" ?

Edit: just to be sure, random reader, do NOT do this. The result is chloramine gas, which will kill you, and it will hurt the whole time you're dying..

[–] time_fo_that@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My mom accidentally mixed two cleaners once and developed chemical pneumonia for a month. I was too young to realize how close she was to not making it...

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I can't wait for it to recommend drinking bleach to cure covid.
