Scaling up and shaping up large language models increased their tendency to provide sensible yet incorrect answers at difficulty levels humans cannot supervise, highlighting the need for a shift in AI design towards reliability, according to a paper in Nature. go.nature.com/4eCAnis 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows key indicators for several models in GPT (OpenAI), LLaMA (Meta) and BLOOM (BigScience) families.

Whomst among us have not tried to transport blue crabs on the subway? But seriously one tried to hitch a ride on the pants of the person next to me while the rest of the subway car looked at my squirming bag in horror.

His monologue in Little Murders is one of my favourite moments in cinema. What a legend. youtu.be/7kCrrjp2epY?...

Wedding Scene from "Little Murders"
This clip is one of my all-time favorite film scenes. It is from the movie "Little Murders," starring Elliott Gould. This particular scene stars Donald Sutherland, who presides over the ceremony as the minister/shaman. As a little background to the scene.....Elliott Gould plays the shy/quiet/pacifist groom, while is his bride-to-be is an outspoken, feminist-type character. The pudgy man in the glasses is the father-of-the-bride; he is the one that has offered money to Donald Sutherland to mention God in the ceremony. The rest pretty much stands on its own. I put this up here because I really like Donald Sutherland's speech; in some ways I wish I could just play it at my own wedding in the future. I'm not saying that I believe in everything Donald Sutherland says in the vows, but I think the gist of it is right on.

A two-panel meme. The top shows three dishes of pet food in a tray, with text reading “the users will know how to use it”. The next panel, labeled “the users”, shows a white cat, a black cat, and an orange cat in a weird heap having climbed over and under each other to eat from a dish not directly in front of them.

There’s in-product messaging that confirms that deleting messages off one device doesn’t delete them from other devices lmao. Does this guy have a findom/humiliation kink or something? Because this is a great way to get some lawyers paid while looking real goofy.

Article from The Baffler expands on this, focusing on white Evangelical foster influencers and how they’ve largely changed focus from international to domestic adoption via exploiting the foster system but *surprise* it’s still rooted in the same racist bullshit thebaffler.com/salvos/wards...

Evangelical foster momfluencers exploit children who are only temporarily in their care for the sake of “advocacy.”

More photos because its just so goofy.
Tibetan fox in foreground on dry grass with body in profile and face straight on. Its eyes are asymmetrical, which in addition to its already goofy proportions give the appearance of bad taxidermy.Tibetan fox in foreground on dry grass with eyes looking to the side, which almost look like side-eye.

Important addition to this thread is that a threat to the Pallas’ cat is the Tibetan fox, which looks like a child tried to draw a fox from memory.
Tibetan fox sitting in the foreground on dry grass. Looks like a regular fox, with a reddish-grey coat and a white belly and muzzle, but the proportions of its face seem wrong, like a child’s drawing come to life. Its eyes are too small and far apart, its ears too small, its snout too small for how wide its face is, its mouth too small and far forward like a cartoon dog, etc.

This has to be a weird one, since the cops here are basically like “go fuck yourself” when people call because they think it’ll get them a bigger budget and they sometimes can’t be bothered to notify next of kin when someone dies.

I've just learned something terrible.
Wikipedia entry for "Throbber", which reads: A throbber, also known as a loading icon, is an animated graphical control element used to show that a computer program is performing an action in the background (such as downloading content, conducting intensive calculations or communicating with an external device). In contrast to a progress bar, a throbber does not indicate how much of the action has been completed.

Have you read Because Internet by Gretchen McCulloch? It gets into the forced consistency and stagnancy we have in language rn bc of word processors and spell checking, in contrast with all the interesting linguistic changes social media has brought.
