DO YOU LIKE TRAINS?

You may not be fun at parties, but that’s what they tell me, too, so we can hang out in the corner or something.

I’m not in this picture and I don’t like it

Exactly!

Yeah sounds about right! And that’s true a lot of it was with Markov models. I think some was NNs though.

This reminds me of the people who trained neural networks on stuff before ChatGPT and uploaded YouTube videos with titles like, “I FORCED an AI to read ALL of twilight, and THIS is what it wrote!” and then they laugh at the garbage that comes out of the model. Like… yeah, the model is not good at this task that it was not designed to do. Some of the text is funny, but in the same way people don’t really emotionally respond to AI art because there was no human intent behind it, I don’t respond to AI “humour”. It’s using a tool wrong and then laughing that the outcome is bad.

There’s satirical comedy to be had here, but it needs to be grounded in what actual people are doing. Personally I haven’t seen anyone seriously expect a language model to be able to assemble a functioning PCB, so I can’t enjoy this as satire either.

Or could it be genuine curiosity, just seeing what happens? Always possible but such a predictable outcome doesn’t tickle my curiosity either.

So, there are all the reasons I didn’t find this interesting. Why did I reply it all? I dunno man.

Decide whether P = NP and get yourself an easy $1M. And another $5M for the other millenium prize problems.

fussing over nomenclature is not a necessary part of being on the radical left.

Perplexing.

When was the last time you felt the calming embrace of grass, my friend?

Well bust my buffers!

Tortoises are land animals. Simple.

Frogs and toads might be a better one - there’s no systematic difference except toads are ugly.

Don’t tell ME how to have a good time

Can’t speak to your specific example but I have 100% heard people say “had an accent” to mean “has a regional accent”, that would include, for example, an Appalachian accent.

Not necessarily. People who say “he has an accent” just think that their accent is “not an accent” so it could also be a (different) regional accent.
