In the court document, it lays out how OpenAI developed the latest model to prioritize engagement. In this case, they had a system that was consistently flagging his conversations as high risk for harm, but it didn't have any safeguards to actually end the conversation like it does when requested to generate copyrighted material.

The complaint is ultimately saying that OpenAI should have implemented safeguards to stop the conversation when the system determined that it was high risk rather than allowing it to continue to give responses from the large language model.

FYI, "fiancée" refers to a woman, and "fiancé" refers to a man.

Humans have made a lot of shitty, uninspired music as well. So it could mean that AI-generated slop is indistinguishable from human-made slop, in which case, it would still be bad music.

I had an English teacher in middle school who named her son Sean, pronounced like "seen," and she always complain about how people always pronounced it like "Shawn."

Personally, I think it's a tad rude to name your child with an uncommon spelling as it's just setting then up for a lifetime of minor annoyances. But to use a fairly common variant and insist on a non-standard pronunciation is far worse.

This would be called Emotional Detachment or Emotional Blunting. It is associated with several mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, and it can be developed as a coping mechanism for a stressful or abusive childhood or past. It can also develop as a side effect for some medications, so it could be worth looking into a change in prescriptions if you think that could be relevant.

That is to say, it is an abnormal mental state, but you are not unique in this mindset. You should strongly consider reaching out to a mental health professional to see if you can work on this as it is likely to lead to more isolation and a worsening of your overall well-being.

At least he was brought to tears by the end of the interview when his invective didn't go unchallenged.

FYI, it looks like that story about the paws is false.

The truth behind it is that there was a furry that somehow got severe frostbite when they fell asleep while icing their hands to deal with arthritis pain. After that, friends made a post trying to raise money for their medical bills, and they jokingly commented about getting him new paws. And that apparently spread elsewhere as "a furry amputated their hands to get paws."

Here in the US, the typical flow is that you'll be seated at the table with menus, and then the waiter will leave to get some waters. When they return and fill your glasses, they'll ask if you want to order any drinks, and regardless of whether you order anything besides water, they'll ensure that your glass of water is never empty.

However, I think California passed a law to require restaurants to only provide water when asked, but that might only be when there's a drought and a need to conserve potable water supplies.

She wasn't saying that water was spontaneously boiling in this chamber. She was saying that they were in a space-equivalent chamber with a pressure such that water would spontaneously boil. If you found yourself in the environment that is being simulated here (outer space), you would be able to observe water spontaneously boiling without the vacuum pumps.

It looks like it's from June 1970 during the Trooping the Colour, which was the Queen's birthday celebration.

I think the Packers usually have male cheerleaders, but that is likely because they don't have any professional cheerleaders and instead invite cheer squads from local colleges to cheer at home games.

They mention Clinton because when he left office, the federal government was running at a surplus and was paying down the national debt. However, that changed after Bush came to office and passed tax cuts before starting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

The context around this is the concept of the Right of Ancient Light. Under English law, windows that have enjoyed a sufficient level of light for at least 20 years are recognized as possessing a right to ancient light.

Once conferred, the owner of the property can invoke this right to prevent the construction of a building that would obstruct the level of light that enters these windows, or they can be compensated monetarily to give up this right.

The video doesn't explain this aspect, but the barriers were presumably set up so that his windows would never acquire this right, thus allowing the neighbor to develop their property sometime in the future without concern.
