Pro- climate change propaganda needs classifying as an act of genocide and prosecuting as such. Because it is genocidal

I played the absolute heck out of Baldur's Gate III and then never did the final fight - and I don't know why.* It's sat in my unfinished pile since then. * I have my suspicions but I don't know for certain.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

Posting these now in case I destroy this during finishing passes on the inside. #woodturning #chestnut #bowl

The bottom / back of a bowl mounted on a lathe. The base is a steep angle down to a foot and there are two burned in rings around the middle.

The inside of the bowl while still on the lathe, I've left myself an awkward turn to clear it out and get it smooth.

Here's my anarchist-of-a-certain-age take on Iced Coffee discourse: Half my lifetime ago I decided that I was always going to wear an earring to a job interview, because anywhere that would use that to screen me out was a place I had no interest in working for. It's served me well.

No, it hasn't. The orchestrator in front of the LLM wasn't properly configured by the human beings that wrote it and implemented it, allowing it to execute commands passed to it by the next-token-guessing-engine, resulting in the next-token-guessing-engine executing problematic commands.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

While the LLM or the orchestrator in front of it are waiting for input, they're doing *nothing*. The code is just looping waiting for a prompt (in fact, it's not doing that these days, it's just doing nothing). It's not thinking. It's not executing, it's doing nothing.

Donate to the RNLI and help save lives at sea

Your donations really make a difference. We depend on your generosity to educate people to stay safe and prevent tragedies on and offshore. Donate here.

Britain is in danger of becoming a white male fundamentalist shit hole. RNLI volunteer crews and lifeboat station supports deserve the same respect and protections as ambulance staff and firefighters. If there is not a deterrent offence on the statute books for hampering these people, WRITE IT UP!

Everyone should attend an LLM training course. It should cover the UI, the orchestration layer, the LLM, the orchestrator<LLM>orchestrator journey. It should detail how the LLM is trained, what that training does, and how the LLM behaves when given tokens. It should also describe how your 'prompt'

Honestly, I think the donations to Reform stink and are dangerous, but if you were in Government at any time in the past few years you had your chance to stop it. So anything from any previous or current minister expressing dislike should be followed by an apology for inaction.
