You kids, get off my lawn!

Strongly agree with the suggestion to wait. The consensus is that pot is not good for the developing brain.

Trans fats are from processed vegetable oils though, right?

My understanding is that typically, unmodified vegetable oils are considered the safest oils for human consumption.

“In the past, most of the trans fat in foods came from partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), formed through a manufacturing process that converts vegetable oil into a solid fat at room temperature. Trans fat also occurs naturally in food products from ruminant animals (e.g., milk, butter, cheese, meat products).”

That’s got me interested

Who is? Google? Don’t know if I’d be able to trust that

“It’s not a tech issue. It’s a political issue.”

It kinda is a tech issue if the output is skewed because nefarious parties are feeding the model shit.

If they control the tech and what’s being fed into it then it makes the process rife for manipulation.

Of late, my biggest concern is certain parties feeding LLMs with a different version of history.

Search has become so shit of late that LLMs are often the better path to answering a question. But as everyone knows they are only as good as what they’ve been trained on.

Do we, as a society, move past basic search to a preference for AI to answer our questions? If we do, how do we ensure that the history they feed the models is accurate?

I somewhat agree with that (good for information retrieval).

I say somewhat because they will downright lie , until/unless you call them out.

You need to have an idea of whether what they are telling you is in fact true or not.

I find them very useful for programming snippets because a) I can usual grok whether what they’ve provided is what I’ve asked for and b) the proof is in the pudding (does the code do what I want?)

Maybe not 🤪

I agree with the premise, but it is not easy to reprogram a lifetime of conditioning.

If you know, you know

Never knew this was a thing. My wife has now ordered one 😆

Yes.

Except their “Voight-Kampf Vision”. They have that shitty rubber finish that perishes over time and becomes a sticky mess. Reflective coating strips off after a while even when cared for as per their instructions.

I loved these as my running sunnies but was pretty pissed when they started falling apart.

Not super cheap here in Oz either!

Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody’s going to die. Come watch tv.

Because people suck and they can’t be trusted to use common sense.

Others have answered your questions. Just wanted to point out that 256GB is not very big, depending on how much your brother wants to download (and how much of what he downloads he wants to keep).
