Most useless comment in any thread these days: "I'm guessing you can fix this with some prompt engineering." The commenter reveals that they do not understand the problem, do not understand LLMs, and doesn't care enough to do anything themselves. #AI dependency leads to #programming #fail

@zzt Per wikipedia: Sulfur mustards are viscous liquids at room temperature and have an odor resembling mustard plants, garlic, or horseradish, hence the name. So it's a quick shorthand for "that's what it smells like: run away".

#AI alignment, explained by cartoonist Ruben Bolling:

Three panel comic, entitled Anthropomorphic Antix

Panel 1: an anthro dog-person is walking a {normal cartoon) dog in the city. "Come on, boy."

Panel 2: An anthro pig in a blue business suit, carrying a paper grocery bag, stops him. "I don't understand. Aren't you both dogs?"

Panel 3: "Well, isn't that a pork chop in your bag?"

@zzt There are bicycles for dogs; they have 2, 3 , 4 or 6 wheels. 2 wheels: bakfiets, the doggo(s) ride in the bucket. 3 wheels: single-wheeled dog trailer. 4: dual-wheeled dog trailer 6: four-wheeled dog trailer. All of these come with humans to propel and direct the vehicle.
