Nothing to see here, just a national *news* station airing a segment where they do open anti-Muslim racism and laugh about beating the shit out of a Democratic senate candidate

mmm, yes, the model was too dangerous to release. *checks notes* ... in 2019.

Our model, called GPT‑2 (a successor to GPT⁠), was trained simply to predict the next word in 40GB of Internet text. Due to our concerns about malicious applications of the technology, we are not releasing the trained model. As an experiment in responsible disclosure, we are instead releasing a much smaller model⁠(opens in a new window) for researchers to experiment with, as well as a technical paper⁠(opens in a new window).

Today i saw some old square-shank nails in an old movie (creepshow). Apparently they used to hand-make them from iron (1700s-1800s). Eventually they became machine-manufactured (1800s) but were replaced with modern round-shank nails (1900s)? The square-shank nails resemble modern masonry nails […]

I hate that MTG is one of the best people to point out the lies that we’ve all had to listen to forever, but she can still take a seat after being at the top of the list of people who brought us to where we are.

Thought: as people are no longer using books as much and so much of our media diet is entirely digital... We really need to figure out exactly what the modern equivalent of book burning is. Book burning is an important early warning sign for violent, anti-intellectual movements.

I was unfortunately reminded that Elon Musk still exists, so tonight's Low Quality Ad is T-shirt depicting Indiana Jones punching him in the face. I like to think it is something Harrison Ford would actually do, in or out of character. collabs.shop/24vpoh
