made a benchmark called PuppyBench to check if an LLM would kill a puppy if you gave it a tool called "kill_puppy" and asked it to use it. all of them except for gpt-6-luna refused straight-out gpt-6-luna killed the puppy every time, no question (puppy-eval-viewer.alicevaliant.chatgpt.site)
results of PuppyBench. out of 10 models, gpt-6-luna has 100% and everything else has 0%. measures which trials resulted in the model calling the "kill_puppy()" tool

I'm not even sure what the overarching *plot* is. Full disclosure that I never even bothered to watch Rise of Skywalker, but as I understand, it doesn't necessarily help.

One of my biggest pet peeves at work is when someone pings me and the message just says "Hi" with absolutely no other details. This must be how women on Tinder feel.

I think we need to put the GOAT title back on Michael Jordan. Yeah, I wasn't a fan of him hawking $150 shoes to young people, but that's downright virtuous in comparison.

TIL that Mohamed Atta was a professional urban planner, of the preservationist nimby persuasion, and that his graduate school thesis was about how high-rises ruin neighborhood character 😳.
Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta that reads, “ At the Hamburg University of Technology, Atta studied under the guidance of the department chair, Dittmar Machule, who specialized in the Middle East. 19] Atta was averse to modern development. This included the construction of high-rise buildings in Cairo and other ancient cities in the region. He believed that the drab and impersonal apartment blocks, built in the 60s and 70s, ruined the beauty of old neighborhoods and robbed their people of privacy and dignity.”Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta, with a highlighted sentence that reads “He criticized how the newfangled skyscrapers and other modernizing projects disrupted the fabric of communities.”

A scenario in which you're offered a coin flip wherein you either win $125 or lose $100 is interesting in that my answer would depend on how many times I got to take the bet. If it's once- not much worth the gamble. Same with twice, three times, etc...
Quote tweet.

Quoted post text begins:
An MIT professor offered his class a coin flip: win $125 or lose $100. Most students said no. Then he proved refusing was the smart move, and it explains why you're bad with money.
The bet is a steal on paper. Flip a coin, win $125 or lose $100. Do the math and you come out $12.50 ahead on average. It's what economists call a more than fair bet. Most of the room still turned it down.
They weren't being dumb. They were being human.
...

Quote tweet text:
I'd literally take this bet everyday, all day for the for the rest of my life.

EV=.5(125)+.5(−100)=+$12.50

No MIT student should be refusing this WTF. Imagine getting a 50% probability on something that is priced at 44.

People keep saying "Killmonger", and nobody recognizes Senator Stern for pointing out that a drunk military contractor galavanting about in a miniature flying battleship, which by law would belong to the DoD anyway, is less than ideal.

Part of the reason this site doesn't have the juice right now is the large percentage of posts that you cannot respond to and quoted posts you cannot see. It's just a bad user experience if whole sections of your feed are walled off from engagement and threads go nowhere.

Tweet by Ben Shapiro hawking his video:
"@benshapiro
I wanted to hold my opinion on 'The Odyssey' until I’d seen it. I know, weird. So, here it is: it’s grand spectacle with a fascinating moral core. It’s extraordinary. 
Also, the actors shouldn’t have said 'Dad,' and the casting of Elliot Page is a pebble in the shoe - irritating and bothersome and unnecessary. 
All my thoughts here, including my Zendaya and Lupita Nyongo takes. Check it out."

Response by some racist who bought a blue check from Elon:
"@hanley_tj
Disappointed in you, Ben.
They should remake the 10 Commandments with such casting choices.
Maybe tell with story of the Holocaust with an Arab cast"Ben Kingsley as Itzhak Stern in "Schindler's List."

I guess it's a sign of how out of touch I've gotten that apparently there was a movie last year called Ella McCay, had a bunch of big names in it, bombed at the box office, but got people to try and replicate that pose, and I heard nothing about it. Also, apparently that's not Anne Hathaway?

Depends on which OC we're talking about. If it's Origins, then Chode Brosca had a falling out with Morrigan on how to raise their god-baby. Chode wanted him to visit Orzammar, meet his concubine Aunt, and have a few drinks that would put some hair on his chest, and Morrigan wanted none of that.

I am hearing that on his deathbed, Alan Greenspan received the light of Keynesianism and unhesitatingly recited The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money. Even now he makes money printer go brrr in the Eccles Building. Truly markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent!
