I think my favorite JJ McCarthy moment is when he was drafted and everyone who watched him at Michigan laughed at me.

My primary memory of Rick Reed is attending a terrible start after his trade to the Twins (that was pretty much all he did after they got him) where he got knocked out pretty early, and the biggest ovation of the night was for Tom Kelly coming out to pull him.

Just found one of the Bored Apes trying to go through my trash. I called animal control and I assume it's dead. I hope so, at least. It seemed in terrible pain

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

r/ChatGPTPro

If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work?
Discussion
It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque.
On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't.
All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction.
I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read).
And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable.
How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with.
I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".

For the good of the country and indeed the world, Elon Musk and Donald Trump must hash out their differences and make peace, and also that conversation must happen while both of them pilot this two-person submersible I made down to the wreck of the Titanic.

Really and truly, if I could communicate anything about history it's that genuine dumbasses can be key historical agents, and that has pretty massive implications for how we make sense of the past and present both.

It is very funny to me to see someone essentially say "other people come from dust and return to dust" right after Ash Wednesday, with no apparent realization it also applies to them.

It was a big adjustment the first time I played it on the SNES and learned that you actually can miss PATs in that version, so you have to at least look at the arrow when kicking them (leaving you vulnerable to LT)
